sounds like it's
going to be a wild birthday weekend. i'll be celebrating with
my boo for his d.o.b., and darci of kittenpants
will be throwing a party at luxx for her bday, too. if you don't
know who corn mo
is, you've probably been sitting under a rock. he's been in rolling
stone and on the cover of new york press -- i think that's pretty
impressive. he's also opened up for david cross at tinkle, cross
showering corn mo with mucho praises. you should definitely come
check him out and wish darci a very very happy birthday.
happy
birthday, keith!
happy
birthday, darci!
xoxo,
jinners

snobbery
at its best. i loves it.

oh i almost forgot to mention that i went to piano's last night
to see a band called zetamale,
from virginia. katy, a virginian herself, is friends with their
publicist. they reminded me a lot of radiohead. the lead singer
had a very thom yorke-ian presence on stage and a voice to match.
i think there were like five members in the band including a keyboardist,
so their sound was very full and filled that tiny space we call
piano's. it was the first time i had seen a show there, and i
just can't imagine a real rock show there. i would fucking suffocate.
it was as small as the space, and it kept getting stuffy. i could
however imagine a bunch of naked people rocking out. sweaty. as
i was at piano's, i realized that stellastarr* was also playing
that night. i had totally forgotten about that. i couldn't stay
for their set, but i'm sure it was spectacular, though i think
most of their fans (except for moi) are in indio, california,
prepping up for coachella, cuz it wasn't too crowded and cops
were circling the club for some reason or another. i am not too
sad about skipping coachella this year. it sounds like a bummer
of a lineup compared to last year. who wants to spend $1,000 on
that lineup? not i...

hello, thoroughbred
fare thee well, right bank

jinners
the lovely ladies
of thoroughbred rocked out at the right bank last night. how weird
that the right bank was all, like, closed up and shit. many are
sad to see it go, though i have to say it had a shitty sound system,
but it was nice to lounge around by the water and see the cityscape.
with a few technical difficulties, the thoroughbred fillies set
the pace for the rest of the night, which i didn't stick around
for. the tall boy girl kept screaming random things like "where's
the drummer's mic?" i realized that i've seen her around!
she was at the moldy
peaches show i put together at luxx, and she was also at,
duh, the show last week with the panthers.
i also see steven's roommate around everywhere. she's cool like
that. and yes, she was there last night. but where, oh, where
is steven? still throwing around band names, i'm sure! ok i feel
a little burnt out. jinners needs a nap, for sure. so i'll let
the pictures speak for themselves. check out the photo
gallery.

finite shite stripes?

like my meg white
pigtails?

like my new panthers
tee?

ok, before you all
cuss me out, i want to say, just kidding! i don't think they're
shite. definitely not shite. but jack definitely thinks it's finite.
quote from jack white:
"Oh, [a long life for the white stripes]
probably won't happen.
I'd rather have it be a finite thing
and when we feel that we're
not relevant to ourselves anymore,
then we just...stop. It'd be a
lot healthier, I think, instead of beating
a dead horse or doing
it just for the money, or becoming
caricatures of ourselves
years from now. There's just something
so of-the-moment
about the band -- there are so many
limitations to the White
Stripes that it has a finite aura
to it. But that's okay. We've
been very lucky." [cmj new music

now i see my misery and she's never ever coming back

went to see bishop
allen at starfoods. we thought it was just a regular show
or whatever, but it turned out that they were playing for some
birthday party of some girl that justin (of bishop allen) works
with or something like that. sounds like mass confusion to me.
rachel and katy noted
that everyone from the "birthday party" looked like
they were from hellay -- as in super-accessorized with lots of
frills and bright colors. what was even weirder about this birthday
party was that nobody was really partying. so
during bishop allen's set, i started dancing with rachel, and
we tried to get the party started! but alas, only two other girls
danced. however, justin did beckon me over to dance with him and
we got into the groove. check out the photo
gallery from the show. please excuse tha red eye. i'm still
an idiot with my camera.
so...what's up with
that lame-ay hellay partay?!? i think the fact that the star
spangles were playing might have had an effect. i mean, the
difference between bishop allen and the star spangles is intense.
and i think everyone in the room was too glam (not too hip, mind
you) to dance or show any sign of fun. like, whatta bummer, dude.
anyhoo, note the new addition to bishop allen, jack who adds lots
of fun to the already happy mix. and if you don't know already,
these talented peeps will be playing at the folksongs for the
afterlife cd release party at luxx on may 21. i would love it
if you all came to support my booking project on
the moon music. the more people, the more fun!
so is it just me
or are people deviating from the traditional rock venues these
days? panthers play kingsland tavern, a bar where a plate of cold
cuts (or was it kielbasa?) is not an uncommon sight, and bishop
allen play starfoods, a lower east side restaurant that fancies
offbeat drinks and meaty french comfort food. next thing you know
they'll be throwing shows at le cirque and gotham just to draw
the biznass, and the regulars will be wondering, "who the
fuck invited all the hipsters?" kind of like how they were
at kingsland tavern. kingsland tavern will also host your 16th
birthday party and your first confirmation. oh jeezus!

happy easter!

yes, we're down

yo, the stache...
i don't even know what to say about that. but i like your collection
of pins. and this guy really wants you to pleasure him, don't
he? some crazy fucked up shite. good good cd release party, but
where was the duct
tape?
people we saw: david
ahuja, that ron howard-esque ex-liar. that guy fitz who threw
the show who throws the junkyard
shows. adam from coup fourre. a bunch of dead baseball players
and kingsland tavern regulars on the wall as caricatures. anna,
the sexy, strip poker playing secretary. steven's roommate? i
think all the regulars of the bar were like, "what kind of
fucked up hipster shite is this?" it's ok, we were having
fun. happy birthday to jay, who did indeed smoochie smooch that
naked guy, and he grabbed the guy's jewels, if ya know what i
mean. jay is known for not being shy when it comes to kissing
guys, like his bandmate justin! when i talked to him, he told
me he had this
picture on his computer desktop and that it would soon go
on the panthers' site. it's one of my faves, too! justin gave
me a free cd and a hug. such nice guys, those panthers
new additions to
the panthers set, i think: trumpet and sax and keyboard. wow.
is everyone using keyboards now? i could barely hear the trump
and sax, but thought they were a kooky addition to the panthers
noize. BTW, PANTHERS ARE OPENING FOR PRIMAL SCREAM ON MONDAY AT
IRVING PLAZA. PANTHERS AT 9 P.M. GET YOUR ROCKS OFF!

and oddly enough,
i think the tall boys singer was more fucked up than jay. she
had this wild look in her eyes and would keep propeling herself
into the crowd like a wildebeast or something. why does everyone
in their band wear stripes?

shout out to thoroughbred
for finishing their recording today. woo hoo, girls! it's awwwwn.
i'm so impressed with all of your rockin' songs. the girls also
finished their first photo shoot with moi in record time. were
we even out there for ten minutes? good stuff. can't wait to unveil
the pix to the world.
