THE BEST OF NEW YORK ACCORDING TO A COUPLE OF DRUNKS

The Village Voice lets loose on the best of New York. Take special note of the “music” section. Here’s a break from tradition: We’re going to come out and say it — we’ve been voted as the 2003 “Best Scenester”. That alone is something to write home about, but more importantly we’re talking about being bestowed this title in NEW YORK. Can you calculate that? That’s a hella lotta scenesters we just beat out. (Y’all just caught that we used the word “hella,” didn’t you?) We know we’re really not worthy of this title, seeing as how we live in a dark cave and rarely come out to play, but big ups to the powers that be. Thank you! Our mom’s gonna hang it up on the fridge ’cause she’s so proud her lil’ one has successfully feigned omnipotence. Awesome.

RADIOHEAD AREN’T TALKING TO Q

Instead of showing up to accept their award for “Best Band in the World,” Radiohead sent a silent videotape with the words “RADIOHEAD ARE NOT TALKING TO Q” instead. Well, at least they know how to hold a gruge. Cheers on that one.

WELL THAT’S ONE WAY TO GET RID OF YOUR BOYFRIEND

Hot on the heels of rumors that Pink has dumped Carey Hart for Rancid’s Tim Armstrong (who she collaborated with for her new album), Hart broke his leg, hand and heel on Friday, Oct. 3, in a crash at Tony Hawk’s Boom Boom HuckJam show in Tacoma. We all remember how Pink threatened to get Hart back for “Pun’k”ing her… man, she wasn’t kidding. In related news, Brody Dalle probably is still making out with Josh Homme, so she couldn’t care less.

WHEN WILL IT STOP?

Ok, we’ve seen about 5 different versions of those annoying new “I’m Lovin’ It” McDonald’s commercials. First we saw the Justin Timberlake one during the Emmys, then we saw alternate versions, but still with that same song, then we saw one with kids singing the song, then this Sunday we saw another one done by a “punk” band with Tony Hawk skateboarding, then yesterday we were watching “Fear Factor” (we think) and we saw an all-Spanish version (called “Me Encanta”). NO MORE McDONALD’S!

Also The Blonde Stick on the cover of Vogue.

Fab on that New York Observer article: “‘I’m not doing so well.’ On the way back to Sterling Sound, he repeatedly looks towards the ground, and curses his estate agent, who apparently handed the paper the story. ‘Bitch,’ he spits. ‘Fucking bitch.’” From Q magazine.

DO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK SUPER-STAR?

Yeah, well so do we, so get in the back of the line. So do you want to be a record label intern? We have it on good authority that indie-label Kemado Records, home of The Fever and Elefant, is looking for a few good interns to come in and be all they can be. Preferable if you live in the Manhattan/Brooklyn area, because someone will probably end up crashing at your place after a long night of “working.” Added bonus: If you flash devil horn signs without any prompting. Contact keithATkemadoDOTcom. If you couldn’t figure out to switch the “AT” for “@” and “DOT” with “.” in the e-mail address, then you’re probably not qualified for this position.

Also, The Fever play Bowery Ballroom with The Kills tomorrow night.
