Late breaking news… Dennis of The Realistics, Mercury Lounge, Feb 1. Acoustic set 8pm. You can still make it to the 11pm Yeah Yeah Yeahs set at Brownies (and stay for the French Kicks at 12) if you make a day of running up and over Avenue A.

Help Guy find his missing notebook
ELBOW: A TRAGEDY STARTING TO HAPPEN
You’ll be the source of their notebook…
28.jan.02This just in – Elbow’s Guy Garvey is even more sad and pissed off than
usual, because he’s lost his notebook. Damn.Said compendium contained all the lyrics for Elbow’s next album, amongst
other writings, and is thus very important to the band. For poor Guy
cannot be spittin’ his writtens when he can’t remember them. And thus
the album will suffer. And thus you shall also.“I am sadder than a man who thought his girlfriend had given him a
special chocolate gateau for his birthday, only to take a bite and
discover it was baked donkey shit, and poisoned baked donkey shit at
that,” said Guy, possibly. Either way, he’s desperate to get it back,
and is offering a reward to the person that returns it.If you, gentle reader, know of the notebook’s whereabouts, please be
nice and call Elbow on 0161 953 4081. God will love you for it and
you’ll go to Heaven. And if you don’t you’ll go to Hull. Or Bury.

1. Learned the cords to Coldplay, “Yellow.”
2. Rufus Wainwright was made fun of.
3. Duncan Sheik was talked about.
Maybe next week I’ll bring up Ryan Adams… my teacher doesn’t know who the White Stripes are. Teacher all up in the folky singer-songwriter shit (see Rufus and Duncan). Will introduce to Stripes. Teacher run for cover.

BEGGING MODE START
Starsailor/Charlatans @ Irving Plaza ticket, anyone?
laura
BEGGING MODE STOP
In other sold-out news… tickets to The Faint at N6 are no more. Boo-yah!
And we like the subtle Strokes reference in the “Here comes the groom” story over at TONY (see David Russell).

Last minute decision to pop over to Brownies and see college rockers Circle and Square. I thought it was a pretty tight set. I hear some of ‘em like Le Strokes…
Their next show will be at Luxx (which has a WILD Full House “Smash Club” -esque look to it) in Brooklyn as part of the New York Metropolis Music Festival on V-day 2002. Grab a fella, grab a gal, or grab yourself (…but do it discreetly…) and head over to some of the fine festivities the NYMMF folks have lined up. And yes, that Moldy Peaches/ The Walkmen show at N6 counts- it’s part of the same festival…
Photographic evidence of tonight (sorry the pictures are so blurry. We hate Brownies’ lighting. It’s evil):

A big awshucksthanks to Mad Orange Fools for the linkage!
And thanks to Rabbit blog (a GREAT read!). I’ll be sure to try to avoid these pitfalls… Early-twenties mistakes… I’ll fail miserably. Link from Mad Orange Fools (see above).

Ok, the “Last Nite” video is on again… I think I’m watching M2, but I’m not sure… I just saw Starsailor “Good Souls” too. But I wasn’t gonna write about that, but the video came on so I ended up mentioning it and this is when I realize I’m completely babbling. But as you can see by the photographic evidence over at Combustication (Check the Jan 26th post), BRMC has taken over London- plastering “Love Burns” everywhere. The limeys fall for it hard… BRMC is the next next big thing… 2 steps behind the Strokes to super-british-rockdom. Ok, fine, whatever. They’re ok. They work it. Although it’s a little disturbing Cute Drummer (Nick, I think most people call him) isn’t playing with them… you know, due to that “smuggling cocaine” problem. I hate when that happens.
But I think I need to talk about another one of those upcoming Brit band (yeah, like I don’t talk about British people enough). Anyway, I’ve mentioned them before, but I’m gonna go ahead and mention them again because their album is coming out very soon, and their first single has just been released. Haven, ladies and gents, has a really lovely song called “Say Something” that’s becoming quite popular, I think… Sorta sensitive, wussy brit rock like Coldplay meets… um… it’s a little more “rocky” than Coldplay so I’d say mix in a little… uh.. I don’t know. Meets Starsailor and a little Travis? Am I starting to scare some people off right there? It’s sorta rock ballad-ey or whatever. But it’s pretty. I’ll keep an eye out. They play London’s Dingwalls March 6, damnit. Why am I not in London this semester?
The Air remix album, Everybody Hertz is out Feb 19… just one week after my birthday. *Hint hint*

Just so you know, New Yorkers be alert! I shoot from the hip- anywhere and everywhere- inspired by the great Lomo tradition.
Alyse is so cool. She knows why.
The Strokes vid is on MTV and no one else is up for me to tell. It’s been so long since I’ve seen it. Shit. It’s so late I’m starting to find the new Alanis song tolerable. Help!
Finally, I can sleep in peace. Ahem… to my London roommie- THE SONG I WAS TRYING TO SING WAS “SPACEMAN” BY BABYLON ZOO!!!! Eternally grateful to Simon.
Hey man! Slatch is up for a Bloggie!!! Go and show the love. WE HEART SLATCH!
The title of Damian Loeb’s latest photo gallery has an interesting reference. Ahem. Yeah. Ok. Can you guess? That’s right Virginia, El Strokes.

Big Pimpin’ up in NYC.
Rerun of Adams on SNL. Be prepared- Ramones t-shirt.
We like stories and celebrity deconstruction…. “In rock, you are nothing until you’ve slept with Winona Ryder and had a feud with me” – Courtney Love …. “They are the ugliest band I have ever seen. That guy Danny looks like Shrek” – Elton John on Hear’Say Damn. One for the Elton.
Dude, WTF? The Detachment Kit is gonna be on NYU radio Monday, Jan 28 at 5pm.

WTF? Check out the “music” section. Link from Michelle.
HEEeeeeyyyy. I used to play this game sans computer last year. It all started with… “If I had to pick a member of Travis who reminded me of Neil Vickers, it would be… Fran Healy.” But I am devastated I’m not Andy Dunlop… I should have picked anything involving alcohol and “drunk” more often…

In Dougie-related news, check out the totally AWESOME new issue of Shout Magazine w/ Kelly MacDonald on the cover! How cool is that? We love Kelly Mac! And we also love Shout, which is turning out to be one of the best local magazines around.
Which reminds me of the time I saw Kelly… it was 2000? Outside the NBC studios. A very tall lanky guy wearing a Rangers jersey was coming toward us and walked by. As soon as he walked by I stopped walking and everyone kinda looked at each other. Yup, it was Dougie Payne. The small hooded girlie next to him was Kelly Mac. Aw.
For all the cool cats in London, head over to Cargo for this D. Gray event! I’m not sure if it’s that D. Gray… but it might be? Er.. maybe not.. but maybe? I don’t know. Whatever, just go to Cargo anyway.: “SUNDAY 27.01 – DAVID GRAY PHOTO EXHIBITION LAUNCH PARTY
David Gray launches his urban cultural photo exhibition joined by
friends on the decks playing funk grooves & boogie beats
6pm – 12pm
FREE “
All you ever wanted to know about… random stuff about London.
