Julian Casablanca "11th Dimension"




It's a Strokes theme today. Julian got himself a bunch o' keyboards and some hooks. He's killin' in Tokoyo so it shouldn't be too long before he breaks in the Philippines.

NEW: Sufjan Stevens Song

There's Too Much Love is a return to form for Mr. Stevens to a degree. Thanks to MOKB for the link. Tour dates if you're interested.

OLD NEWS: Wavves and Black Lips Go Fisticuffs

Brooklyn Vegan broke it two days ago and since we've got our hand on the pulse of hipster violence we're bringing it to you again. The update is that WAVVES wasn't involved but those on the scene spin a different tale. From BV:

Well, I suppose last night was the perfect storm. I didn't see the beginning, but I did see people dragging Nathan and Jared apart, and then Jared and a popular DJ running at Nathan again, spilling beer all over everyone (including me), and punches being thrown. The lights at Daddy's were turned on, the cops showed up, but Jared and the chick were not ready to stop fighting and were even trying to fight other people outside the bar. Jared was bloody. Nathan was fine. Insane. Weirdest indie rock moment I've experienced.



It's good to see those kids are willing to fight it out over some internet posturing.

Stroke In Rehab

This may not be new news but one Mr. Albert Hammond Jr. got checked into rehab by his fellow Strokes. Leave it to a girlfriend to cause a man to go off the deep end. I wonder if this will delay the new Strokes record? Or cause Julian to rethink his solo career?

VIDEO: Andrew Bird and St. Vincent

It's making the rounds. Worth the watch.







Getting Mugged for Chicken

So a friend of mine has this story. His friend is in Brooklyn and it's 2am. He's raging on a sack of chicken nuggets from a 24 hour chicken and fish place. He's approached by a smallish black man in black hoodie. It goes down like this...all being shouted through the mugger's full, gold grill.

Black Man - Gimme all yo money!

Nuggets - What? no....ah...hmm...I don't have any. Only nuggets.

(A long pause as the mugger weighs his options)

Black Man - Gimme all yo chicken nuggets!

Nuggets - Umm, ok. Here you go.

(Another long pause as the mugger observes his rewards)

Black Man - Gimme yo hot sauce.

Nuggets - Wait? What? No.....huh?

(Mugger proceeds to run away)

This is a true story. Confirmed by a third party.

Not a great way to bring back the Tip Jar, but hell...I'm unemployed.
