NOOOOO! MY BELOVED HUGH LAURIE!

End Of An Era of the Day: Fox announced today that its long-running medical drama House will conclude with a series finale at the end of its current season.

Deadline reports that creator David Shore told the network he felt it was time, creatively, to bring the show “home.”

“The producers have always imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one to leave the party,” Shore said in a statement. “How much better to disappear before the music stops, while there is still some promise and mystique in the air.”

The showrunner went on to suggest that House might live to snark another day on a different network.

The show, which has been on the air since 2004, is produced by NBC Universal, and the possibility exists that NBC might pick it up. However, NBC Entertainment head Robert Greenblatt all but dismissed that option last month when he indicated that the move would be too expensive to justify.

Still, some good news for fans of Fox’s Terra Nova: The cancellation of House makes a second season all the more likely.

Dive & Violens @ Bowery Ballroom

Wintersleep @ Glasslands

One of the artists I’ve been working with for Liz at Miss Management is a wonderful multi-instrumentalist named Matthew Hemerlein from DC. He has this amazing and intricate solo-looping show that builds and seduces, captivating the Lower East Side audience.

After his set, I bounced over to Bowery Ballroom for the sold-out Chairlift/Violens/Dive show. I ran into a friend who actually said, “Wait, is it 2003? Is Jinners out dancing at a show?” What is funny is that I was having the same nostalgic feeling building up inside of me as I stood inside, upfront on the floor. The space still holds a lot of magic. And memz. Ran into Matty Pickles and Stefan from Caveman, who sold out their Bowery Ballroom show last week. It has been a long time coming for those guys, and I couldn’t be happier for them! Saw Danny from The Big Sleep who told me their record release party is going to be on Feb 2 @ Knitting Factory Brooklyn. I also heard Violens is putting out an album in March on Slumberland! Congrats to those dudes! Met Zachary from Dive, who was the sweetest dude. I was LOVING his Seattle grunge style. Love them when they are getting rowdy on stage and flipping their pretty hair around.

Also saw Wintersleep at Glasslands. I haven’t seen a show there with the new stage setup (yeah it’s been a minute since I’ve really hung out a show in Williamsburg - I was stuck in a basement in Park Slope for a few years). It was actually pretty cool to see them in a punk rock setting, and the crowd was fun and dancing! Plus, I have a fondness for Canadians….

I don’t have any photos from it, but I finally went to see Sara Schaefer’s weekly comedy variety show at UCBeast called Hot Dang! that she co-hosts with Scott Moran. Had no clue UCBeast was in the old Two Boots Theater. Totally makes sense. The “Hot Chicks Room” aka the bar attached to the theater is cute with cute bartenders and comedians hanging around. Plus, supercheap. We got a couple beers for $6 total. They also sell flights of beers!

New song, “Happy,” from I Was a King featuring Robyn Hitchcock and Emil Nikolaisen!

I Was a King- Happy by Splendour

This latest 7” in Oslo-based label Splendour’s split series features two friends and collaborators that find themselves rubbing shoulders with the likes of Daniel Smith and Sufjan Stevens. I Was A King bring us their bright 60’s-pop style single “Happy,” featuring Robyn Hitchcock and Emil Nikolaisen (Serena-Maneesh). They also cover Half-handed Cloud’s “Baby Moon.” Half-Handed Cloud offers up a 5 track EP entitled “Blood Brothers” in four-and-a-half-minutes. The manic and lightning quick EP takes a look at the story of several Christian Missionaries in different geographical and historical contexts. It also includes a cover of I Was a King’s “California.” The split 7” will be released this week on January 10th. Splendour will also be releasing diskjokke’s limited edition “Now Dance” 7” single, due out on January 24th. More details to follow.
