Voxhaul Broadcast Kicks Ass in the LBC

Last night, Voxhaul Broadcast was supposed to play at the Prospector in Long Beach. The Silent Comic played but I wasn’t really listening. Although, I did take the time to Twitter about how they looked like they were about to go mine some gold, 1895-esque alt-rock. Apparently, it was during this time that the sound dude began to stir some pots, hassling all the bands and being a general douchebag. The Union Line were awesome but they were also having some issues with the sound dude. Then up goes Voxhaul Broadcast. A quarter way into their first song, David’s vocals are turned off and the sound dude flips him off.

David Dennis is by far the most docile and even-keeled man I’ve ever known.
And to see him throw down his guitar, storm to the back of the room and punch the sound dude in the face was absolutely unexpected and shocking.
Everyone rushes to the back of the room. I’m by the bar still when I hear the bartender on his cell phone talking to the guy who I imagine owns the place, “He was being a dick… Flipped off the band and turned off their vocals… The singer punched him… Yeah, he deserved it…”
DUH.

Well played, Davey.

In other news Voxhaul news, new live tracks have been posted up on surrge.com.

I highly suggest grabbing “She’s the Breeze”. It reminds me of a dreamscape, that I should be falling in love and dancing in a taffeta and tulle prom dress. I’d be walking with some sweetheart under arches of bogenvia and then he’d totally kiss me and then, liiiike, we’d totally fall in love.

Oh, I totally figured it out ! The beginning of the song reminds me of the song “Love” when Robin Hood and Maid Marion are running around in Sherwood Forest in Disney’s EPIC animated adaptation.

Sarah Palin Slated For SNL
Reported by People

The Republican vice presidential candidate – and Tina Fey’s alter ego – will appear on Saturday Night Live this weekend with guest host Josh Brolin, the McCain-Palin campaign has confirmed…

In an interview with PEOPLE for next week’s issue, it was hard to tell whether the Palins are still laughing along with Fey. When a reporter noted that Fey plays the vice presidential candidate as bubble-headed, Sarah retorted: “That’s funny, I kind of play her bubble-headed, too, when I imitate her.”

Chimes in husband Todd Palin about his wife: “She’s been impersonating Tina Fey longer than Tina Fey’s been doing Sarah Palin.”

I hope they have her and Tina as twins. Tina will be the good twin trying to help the people of the United States, thinking about the majority of the citizens that can’t afford to have tanning beds installed in their Governor mansions. The citizens that couldn’t even afford to have a Trig baby if they wanted because they don’t have the money for health insurance. And Sarah will be herself: an ignorant, vacuous, nonsensical sentence spewing, polar bear killing, average joe of a “mav’rick”.

And hey, Sarah, YOU’RE NOT FUNNY.
And neither is your husband.
You’re not the Ricardos and you’re not fit to run my country.
GO HOME.

RockersNYC Interview with Mikey Rocks

I first read about The Cool Kids in Spin back in February that focused on the insurgence of music coming out of Chicago. Since then, the group has been touring with MIA as well as their music being featured on Entourage and in Mountain Dew commercials (oooh la la!).

Katie Gets First Dibs on H&M New Line

Comme des Garçons designed a line for H&M, which isn’t scheduled for shopping until November thirteenth. The line for H&M actually reminds me a bit of Christian Siriano’s line with pieces like this:

BITCH PLEASE !!!
What are you doing ?! You can bear the expenses of Comme des Garçons ! In fact, you can afford everything I love. So please, keep wearing Marc Jacobs and Luella Bartley. Throw on some Stella McCartney and Chanel and keep me green with envy from behind my US Weekly. But give us a break- Give us H&M ! I know being the beard to this TomKat fiasco can’t be easy but take it in stride. I mean, you are married to your high school dreamboat Maverick with the cutest child ever created (in a lab) in a Scientologist backed compound. Life cannot be as bad as it is for say… 98% of the country.
Kthanksloveyabye.

Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist

Saw it, loved it, think about MC while listening to Devendra Banhart and using my rabbit.
Heh… jokes !
Err… Sort of…

The drunk girl, Ari Graynor, was awesome. Kat Dennings and Michael Cera were (from what I’ve seen) Kat Dennings and Michael Cera. But good for them. Carve out your niche and then branch out, that’s how it works in Hollywood. Go talk to Jim Carrey about it. He knows what’s up.

The only part I thought was lame was when she was supposedly orgasming. I would love to think that MC is that talented with his hands but c’mon. She was faking it. No one gets off in thirty seconds with an index finger unless you’re the Midas of vag or you’re doing it yourself. Sorry…

Or maybe I just hang around the wrong seventeen year old boys ?
