Still in my PJs on Saturday morning: that's what's up! Last night I had a fun time hanging out with 7 girlfriends that I've known for 10 yrs+. I have a Mimosa headache this morning but it was totally worth it!! So now I can reveal what the big news is: We have a brand new show on a brand new station, the www.Dubstep.FM fam, and we couldn't be happier!! We are preparing the first show now and hope to have a real doozy for you. Stay tuned for more info in the next week.

Such a nice night for mid-November at the 400 Bar. Athletes in Slacks (myspace) warmed up the crowd with their laidback loungey harmonizing sound that only two keyboarders and a guitarist can produce. The band claims all their songs are about love, except later on their hour-long set, they introduced a song about hating two guys from New York. They did finish strong with a cover of INXS's "Never Tear Us Apart", and that's what really matter.
The first time I heard about Swedish band Little Dragon, was in January. Ceji was really into them. Since we generally like Swedish bands here, I did try and keep up with their whereabouts. As it turns out, they're in the middle of their tour through the US to promote their sophomore album, Machine Dreams. Although the band's been here already, they confessed last night that this was their first time in Minneapolis.
From what I heard from their live set, their new songs seems to drifts from the R&B and Jazz influence to more electro and beats. I think the combination works well for them, especially since I like their big beats/electronica sound.

I've been to a lot of shows lately, and I can tell you that this was one of the best shows yet. They're heading their way to the East Coast, so definitely check them out. If they're not heading through your city, you should check out Machine Dreams, out now on Peacefrog Records.

I think he went on to star in Monty Python's Search for the Holy Grail
back in the olden days of b&w TVs, Friday night was fight night. thus,
Yo, Adrian! It's me, Rocky.
Rocky was a labor of love, the little movie that did, a personal tale that became a multimillion dollar enterprise. it is also the movie that has spanned the most sequels (Rocky II, III, IV, V, VI aka "Rocky Balboa"). what's the name for this? a hexology?
the taglines for the movie are interesting, if a bit confusing.
You have a ringside seat for the bloodiest bicentennial in history! *
A Philadelphia fighter who never made the big time...He showed he could take on a challenge...and won something bigger than a championship bout.
Meet the "Italian Stallion": a small-time guy with big-time guts
who yearns to be a hero...just once!**
He's a has-been battler with one dream left...and one last chance.
His whole life was a million-to-one shot.
* Rocky was released in 1976. references to the American Revolution of 1776 Bicentennial are everywhere.
** a small-time guy with big-time guts. I'm a 12-year-old at heart. I won't tell you what I thought it read.
Silvester Stallone gets mucho credit for writing the movie (in a 3½-day bender as legend has it) and more so for refusing to sell it to several studios that were interested in the story but wanted to cast their own choices (including Robert Redford. Robert fracking Redford. damn), but Stallone stood firm on his demand to himself play the role of Rocky Balboa.
no doubt Stallone was Rocky, but much of the movie's success was due to the fine supporting cast. Mickey, Adrian, Paulie. Apollo Creed
check the patch on Paulie's shoulder on the third pic. Philadelphia represent, yo.

19 Nov - The Step Inn Fortitude Valley, Queensland w Mexico City & Sue Ray
27 Nov - The Tote Melbourne, Victoria. w James McCann’s Dirty Skirt Band, Black Pony Express & Little John.
An honourable mention also has to go to Jamie Hutchings. I'm sure he's being playing shows in some form or another since before the dawn of time. Always enjoyable.... and, it seems, about to embark on a tour of europe, so if you're over that way, be sure to keep your eyes and ears peeled. Or maybe just look at his website for tour dates (might be easier).
