| 2 bands |
[Mar. 24th, 2009|11:17 am] |
2 bands that i just discovered i like.
white lies - obviously big depeche mode fans, but they remind me more of someone else, i can't think of it. it's really well done, even if it is a knockoff.
friendly fires - they're more electro-disco'ey but still have that dark-ish feeling (jeez why am i not a music reviewer?? HAHAHA) plus they have a song called jump in the poo. but i almost wrote hump in the poo, which is significantly hilariouser now that it exists.
AND, INCIDENTALLY just found out they are both playing together april 3 in chicago so i think i am going to go. at the double door. that's not a really big place is it? i'm used to going to shows at schuba's down there. hm, double door might be where i saw hum for new years. that's not so big. i mean it's kind of big. but it's not like the metro. it does have a coat chekk.
yay :) i havent liked any new bands in a long time. which is possibly the only reason i like these guys, or i am just bored, or i am just getting boring. O WELL! |

Re: Wanted: Creative, Energetic Band to play at my wedding! (Milwaukee)

You've got to be kidding!!!
Sure, I'd be happy to bring my band in and play for your 500 wedding guests for free. We'd be happy to set up in the afternoon, play for cocktail hour, and for five hours later that evening, all the while being fun and energetic. After the gig is done (after 1 AM), we'll tear down our gear and head home, having enjoyed "some free drinks and maybe free food", and rejoicing in knowing this was good for our portfolio and in the knowledge that we received the best compensation of all...that's right, fun!
Best of luck with that fantasy, doesn't even look good on paper.
If you folks have 500 people coming to your wedding reception at the Pfister Hotel (or the Hilton, for the other dope-smoking fool that wanted a cheap photographer for their so-called high class event), and you discover you can't afford a dime for a band or DJ, better take a big step back, check your spoiled Bridezilla attitude at the door, and look at your budget. Stronger glasses might help, too.
In the meantime, stop wasting the time of those that try to make a living providing a quality entertainment service. On second thought, I do hope you find someone to play for free. After they've drunk all your booze, gone back for thirds at dinner and thrown cake at each other, maybe they'll remember enough songs to make it through a couple of sets before one of them gets sick or craps in their pants.
Enjoy your "off the hook" event.

| weatherman kitteh |
[Feb. 2nd, 2009|12:33 am] |
According to The UK Telegraph, the kitteh nommed on Kachelmann's beard a bit, then helpfully pointed his paw at the weather map where the temperatures were sliding the most.
"I don't know how he got into the studio," Kachelmann said. "I noticed him when he rubbed against my leg and thought people might wonder what was happening. I figured it would be easier to control the cat by picking him up. Cats get annoyed if they feel ignored. So I made sure he didn't feel ignored."

| how much do i luv thee? |

i went as mel from flight of the conchords for halloween. i got blue contacts, they were free from the optical because they didn't have the color i wanted so she just gave me the demos haha. i popped them in over my regular contacts after thinking it over for a moment and deciding nothing really bad could happen. it was fine.
also just now i found this awesome flight of the conchords quiz on this internet. i think it is hilarious:
Bretaholics Quiz
1. When you watch the show and it's Bret, Jemaine, Murray, whoever in the scene, regardless of who is delivering lines, you
a. Watch only Bret 100% of the time
b. Watch only Bret 80% of the time
c. Watch only Bret 50% of the time
2. You have researched the web enough to have
a. Found all official and non-official fan sites, all videos available on youtube, hbo, and myspace. You have watched every performance clip more times than you could mention. You have found every article and downloaded the lyrics for all their songs (memorized most), seen every picture and furthermore have bookmarked all the urls in your Flight of the Conchords folder. Your focus in this research has been almost solely directed at Bret. You love Jemaine and think he is totally awesome as well, but you are mad crazy in love with the gorgeous adorable talent that is Bret McKenzie so much so that a shadow is cast on all others.
b. Found the Conchords official and several non-official fan sites. You have seen some of the videos but not all. You're crazy in love with Bret when it suits your schedule. You might be a little sad if you found out he had a girlfriend or was engaged, but you wouldn't break your pencil over it.
c. You're aware of all the hype and everything, but Michael Vartan is going to be in a new show in the fall with 3 other guys who look kinda hot. While you're sad that the Conchords first season has come to a close, you're looking forward to some of the new fall line up that might offer up some delicious man-treats like Michael Vartan, just to name, well, one.
3. Please read the following statement: Bret McKenzie is so beautiful, talented, charming that it is dizzyingly alarming. It is nothing short of a miracle that all this greatness can be all in one human being. It is shocking that he does not in fact walk on water.
a. I strongly agree.
b. I somewhat agree
c. I sort of agree, but would take out some of the adjectives and the part about walking on water.
4. Putting things in perspective: Please read the following statement: I don't see how anyone cannot agree that Bret is the hottest, most talented, hilarious, charming, witty, most musically inspired comedic genius in New Zealand and all around the world.
a. I strongly agree and might add that he is a delicious kiwi so mouthwateringly sweet I've gotten 10 cavities in the past 5 minutes just thinking about him.
b. I do agree, but Jemaine is many of those things as well.
c. I sort of agree. But I am looking forward to seeing Michael Vartan in the new fall season line up. He's somewhat foreign too. He's part French and speaks it fluently.
5. Figwit
a. Stands for Frodo Is Great Who Is That. Bret played this "no name" elf in Lord of the Rings, no lines, an elf extra, but oh so much more than an extra. Six seconds on screen and a lifetime in the hearts of many. See figwitlives.net for more details
b. I've heard of Figwit and know Bret played him, but didn't know what the term meant. I haven't seen Lord of the Rings and I haven't searched out the clip on youtube of the scene he has in the 3rd of the trilogy. I didn't know that Bret played in only 1st and 3rd. Hmm,
c. Figwit what? I like figs, even fignewtons. Given that, I might like a figwit since obviously it has something to do with figs.
Now, give yourself 5 points for every a. answer, 3 points for every b. answer, and 1 point for every c. answer.
If your total score adds up to 23-25, congratulations, you ARE in fact a Bretaholic and you have impeccable taste.
If your score totaled anywhere from 15-21, you are definitely an FOTC fan, congratulations, you are correct as well.
If your score totaled anywhere from 5-13, unfortunately, you do not get it. We'll see you next spring when the flowers are booming!! |
