Bipartistan Kids Sing

oldschoolbrian — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 16:36:47 +0000

Here’s a video that has everything you should be afraid of, Youth Choir of Atlanta singing about the importance of their one vote ( all these kids are too young to vote ) sung to the tune of T.I’s top ten track “Whatever You Like”. Could this video be more zeitgeist-y? Could these kids be more cute? The answer my friends is no.

JUSTICE - A CROSS THE UNIVERSE (teaser)
by edbangerrecords

If these Frenchys started this band, recorded an album, remixed a ton of shit and went on a world ear-splitting assualt-on-your-senses(and your sensiblities)-tour for the sole purpose of making this trailer that would be enough.

I can’t imagine how good the film is going to be. Release date with accompanying live cd is November 24th, the leak date should be earlier.

Did You Hear That: Pebble To A Pearl

Nikka Costa did something good. Very good. Releasing her 3rd Lp free of a major label , instead working with the indie gofunkyyourself records along with Stax Records. Which makes sense because this record stanks of Stax records classics. It’s all there.

Joe’s Pub Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

oldschoolbrian — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 04:40:00 +0000

Still mourning the loss of Passing Strange, Stew and Crew are participating in the 10 for the 10th celebration at Joe’s Pub. Please check here for a full list of dates. There is some very convoluted way to get free tickets on the site. But you have to sign up for something, then select something , the go back and find out if you were choosen for something. They make it very easy just to pay for tickets. Also performing and the cast of Hair, Aimee Mann, Budos Band, Debbie Harry and more.

I sure hope I get picked for tickets.

UPDATE: Here’s what sucks about Joe’s Pub ticket giveaway, I got this email earlier today
“Hello Joe’s Pub Patrons –

Unfortunately, an error occurred with the distribution of the tickets for our 10 for 10th Free shows. Many Patrons were awarded tickets to shows they did not sign up for.

We have fixed this problem, however it required us to do another random drawing of names for the Free Tickets for all shows. We sincerely appreciate your enthusiasm and your continuing patience with us as we work with this new virtual line system.

Please click here to sign-in again and see if you received a pair of Free tickets to the show(s) you signed up for. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Sincerely,
Jo on behalf of Joe’s Pub”

The email above bolsters my complaints about their Free Ticketing! Some people got tickets for show’s that they did not even sign up for! Did they give those people give tickets back? I’m not sure I would. Hell I would put those tickets on ebay. But wait there’s more I got this email later in the day:

” …Unfortunately, you have not won tickets to the show(s) you signed up for in the new drawing, but please consider joining a STANDBY LINE for any show – details below.”

Then an offer to sign up for a stand by list. I understand nothing comes for free, but sheesh. Stop dangling the carrot if you can’t actually ever eat it.

Did any one actually get these “free” tickets?

Fannypack is back!… Thank God

oldschoolbrian — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:55:26 +0000

RCRDLBL is hosting a new Fannypack track Hit it here.
I have been wondering where these girls have been. I figured they passed their GED and now were off taking community college classes somewhere deep in Brooklyn. Alas they seem to have been working on some new shit.

Favor: Matt and Fancy- please do not, not put the girls on the cover of the next record. Seems like a missed opportunity

Jack White & Alicia Keys “Another Way To Die”

oldschoolbrian — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:33:07 +0000

Here is the new Bond theme song for the Quantum of Solace in theatres 11/14/08. This is the 1st duet in a Bond Theme. But not 1st they have used “Die” and “Another” in a Bond theme. Madonna did it in Die Another Day”

This track could have been a little bigger a’la “Live and Let Die” but I applaud the effort of Keys and White’s first time collobrative effort
