VEGA love tonight

You've got money, the time, and good sense, right? Then of course you're already planning on seeing VEGA tonight at La Zona Rosa. He's opening for Crystal Castles, so tickets will be gone any minute. I hear tell he'll be back in town on the 24th, too. Count on hearing more about that

LET'S NOT FORGET (TERROR TUESDAY)
"(The Original) Toolbox Murders" in RARE 35mm! Witness power tools used in unsafe ways! As in, for killing people! Screening starts at 10:30, but I'd be sure and show up early for this one. Alot of people ended up missing "NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE" last week, and wow, did they miss out. That film restored my faith in movies, people, watching things on screens in general, my own purpose for existing, John Stamos, and other important stuff I'd begun to question. And for all you people that think Tuesday is the new Friday, this showing is early enough that you can still hit the bars afterwards

Coverage is going to be skimpy this week, seeing as I am going to be horribly busy in my endeavors to graduate on time. To make up for it, I've got a few links for you

MUSIC+DANCE+STAR TREK+WOW


CHERRY LAINE RIDICULOPOP

OH DA JOY

I know I just made a post satirizing the amazing capacity the internet has for making everyone care about the same thing for no particular reason AND that this video is already everywhere, but c'mon, it's so cool


AND AND AND
Plan on attending the Second Sunday Sock Hop at Shangri La tonight. I will not be be there, as I am about to enter an elevated state of being called "studying and writing papers" until Thursday, at which time I will return to humanity. But you should go! Don't forget your socks

Don Cheadle Wears Suit, Internet Explodes

In what is undeniably the most important bit of news coming out of Hollywood this week, pictures of Don Cheadle wearing a US Air Force uniform during on the set of 'Iron Man 2' leaked, causing a chain reaction that quickly submerged the entire internet in a wave of well matched blues. Professional bloggers and the lay public alike have been taken in awe by the commanding, yet nonchalant quality Cheadle bringst to the character of James "Rhodey" Rhodes, in this single still image that may or may not have been taken during actual filming. Image analysts have also pointed out the distance at which Cheadle holds the cell phone from his ear, pointing to the strong probability that he is using speaker phone. Speaker phone on a cell phone? Wow, way to go, Air Force! Those Russian bad guys in 'Iron Man 2' sure won't know what hit em. All together now: USA USA USA

Hello Beautiful

I had a bunch of these guys' MP3s sitting unlabeled in my iTunes (PRODUCT PLUG) for like two years and had pretty much abandoned all hope of finding out who the hell it was. Then one magical day, I woke up to my room mates blasting a song I thought sounded awfully familiar, so now (with thanks to my good pals I live with), I bring you BLACK DEVIL DISCO CLUB:

These guys have been around in various manifestations for, well, about as long as anyone. There's been quite a bit of speculation that they're a new band masquerading as a classic band having a revival or are altogether fictitious. I doubt that. If you look at their live footage,

they're either spending alot of money on prosthetics to make themselves look like old French guys, or they are in reality old French guys.

Check out something they released under their older moniker, Black Devil

Black Devil - H Friend

And I've just got to mention that last year's release, "Eight Oh Eight," is pretty choice stuff. Their remixes are consistently grand pieces of music, as well. It seems that besides being madly talented, they've developed a healthey level of perspective (I know, right) and the good sense to take what they want from whatever dance fad is happening at the time *coughdistortioinbitcrushingsidechaincompressioncough* and leave the rest. Enjoy!

OH AND

Almost forgot about that one. New monthly spot at a rooftop club? Well the guys at Learning Secrets always have done well for themselves. I hear tell there will be free Red Stripe from 10-11
If you've missed seeing Ringo Deathstarr live, it's about time you do. How about this Thursday? Why, that sounds wonderful.

I know I've been hammering this one into the ground. I know my flawless and charming rhetoric already won you over long ago. I know the gravity of the situation must seem unquestionable, BUT just in case I have failed to convince you to make the pilgrimage to see "Never Too Young To Die" tonight at the Alamo Ritz, I present video artifacts of

Dear 12 Step Program,
