I think my head is going to explode...
I'm not going to lie, I haven't even listened to the Wolfmother album. The girls I know like them...alot, like totally seriously, alot.
On the plus side for Wolfmother, they are on Modular Records. The Australian label is home to my Marsupial Electro-homies Cut Copy and the Presets.
I've really been meaning to go the Calling All Kids party for a while now, its hip.

Slap You In Public is now PODCASTING. Bingo bango.
I just found out about Podomatic. Its a free Podcasting website. If you don't know about podcasting, you probably don't know that the Berlin Wall fell a few years back. Get with it.
Go to our site and sign up for the podcast.
Slap You In Public Podcast Site (Via Podomatic)
It goes like this: when I post a new mix your ITunes will download it and put it into your library. AUTOMATICO. Put it on your chosen Pod and enjoy.
I reposted Dark Days, Bright Nights. In the near future I'll have another DJ mix up. I'm also planning on putting together some casts (called Inaction Action) that feature new music in a radio show format. I just need to find where I plug the microphone in.
LILY ALLEN (Yes, this is her. You're welcome.) IS FROM LONDON!
She's blowing up right now. Rightly so. Girls: Listen to all of these, get used to Lily. She's going to be massif.
Lots and lots of text has been typed about her. Many comparisons made. Read elsewhere. Listen here.
I love "Shame for You". "LDN" is the hit.
(WELCOME LILY FANS!! We got a Cease and Desist letter from the SQUARES over at the RIAA. SORRY)
Lily Allen - Everything Is Just Fine
Lily Allen - Shame for You
Lily Allen - Nan You Are a Window Shopper
Lily Allen - Alfie
Lily Allen - Smile
Lily Allen - Cheryl Tweedy
Lily Allen - Knock 'Em Out
Lily Allen - LDN
Lily Allen - My First Mixtape
LILY ALLEN REMIXES ON THE FRONT PAGE: CLICK HERE.
Sorry for the late notice. Tonight my main man Josh Wink plays ALL NIGHT at Cielo. Get there early for some extra special music, he drops sexiness early in the set.
Also, his new (and first double disc) mix Profound Sounds V.3 was released on Tuesday. I haven't heard it yet, but I've heard amazing reviews. The mix includes his never before released remix of Radiohead - Everything In Its Right Place. Its legendary.
Go here for a cool E-Flyer with samples of the whole mix.
I'm guessing you didn't get Radiohead tickets either.
The "other" cities go on sale tomorrow at 10 a.m.
Right, I'll be awake then...I'll see you in hell, Ticketmaster.
I just got notice that Erol Alkan will also be playing the Tribeca Grand on Thursday night. Its the old FIXED locale down in the basement.
It's a bit more work/school friendly than the FIXED party on Wednesday, (hungover Friday is bit easier to brush off than hungover Thursday) and its FREE WIT RSVP.
(Volume 1 of of the SYIP INACTION:ACTION Podcast to be live later tonight...Subscribe now!)
As far as the production goes, I did the best I could. I'm using a desperately old PC that crashed a few times while I was working. I'm going to buy a Mac as soon as they come out with the new MacBook.
The first half of the podcast is tracks by the bands coming to NYC in the next month...The second half is mainly unreleased music from the Infadels, Justice, MSTRKRFT, Adem, Tunng, and of course, Lily Allen. I'll post a full tracklist tonight.
Let me know your thoughts (on the content).
Rock.
I rarely refer to my day job, but there are some sick sample sales going on in the near future.
Check them out here.
Complement your new cheap duds, with expensive designer chairs.
This is New York Design week. Brooklyn Designs kicked it off this weekend, ICFF is this coming weekend. If you can't bamboozle your way into ICFF credentials like I can, public day is next Tuesday May 22. Metropolis gives you a preview here.
Last year, I ended the weekend with a $1200 Philippe Starck lamp. I hope I can make it through this year without such an incident, although this chair is pretty sexy...
Rock of note:
Tuesday- Ghostland Observatory @ Delancey (I'll post about their ROCKING show on Saturday night later)
Wednesday- Art Brut @ Knitting Factory
Thursday- Tom Verlaine of Television @ Bowery
Friday- Joey Ramone Birthday Bash @ Irving (w/Strokes, Dead Boys)
Fixed Party at Don Hill's with Zombie Nation (woaah wooah) (Highly recommended, I went to the NightTime party on Friday, awesome. I might go to Don Hill's every Friday)
Fibonacci.
I'm going to point you over to the Yeti to read his excellent review of ¡Forward, Russia!'s new album – Give Me a Wall.
I'll provide you with a link to BBC Radio1 to listen to a fabulous documentary on ¡Forward, Russia! and their awesome Leeds based label, Dance to the Radio.
Listen and learn.
My review of Give Me a Wall: maximum aggressiviosity.
I hope you have your tickets.
I blame this on you, lazy reader:
Why is ¡Forward, Russia! not sold out??
BUY NOW. (or ¡DIE!)
In other news, I got my Macbook 2 days ahead of schedule and
Gnarls Barkley rolls (pun intended) into town at Webster. Try and get some tickets.
Oh, and I need two tickets to Sunset Rubdown on Wednesday...Do you have some for me?
I've posted Vol. 2 of the semi-weekly podcast. If you've subscribed via ITunes (see the link on the side of the page) it should be in your Library. If you don't have ITunes or access to it right now, go to the Podomatic page and download the mp3.
This episode was made on a Mac, so you should find the quality MUCH improved...It features some summer stormer tracks, a guest, a few ¡Forward, Russia! tracks, and some rad new unreleased music. Feedback is appreciated.
Everyone loved the MSTRKRFT remix of Metric last episode, so there's another MSTRKRFT remix, this time of Bloc Party.
I'll post a tracklist tonight.
Vol. 3 will be released next week and made on my new Macbook.
Jagshemash.
