New Juliette Lewis Album Out Tomorrow (Produced By Omar of Mars Volta) + Tour Dates

Gunfight, Live At Crash Mansion (Video)

Yesterday Gunfight played Littlefield for After The Jump Fest. They were awesome as always. Unfortunately it was pretty early when they played so the crowd wasn't jumping around like they normally do at Gunfight shows. On that note I wanted to share some video from the time they played the Brooklyn Ski Club curated show at Crash Mansion earlier this month. This band has quickly become one of my favorite NYC bands to see live, here's why:

"Woof/Howl" live @ Crash

"What A Rip Off" (Drunk Girl on stage)

Tonight: Sigmund Droid & Bottle Up And Go @ The Studio

Karen O & The Kids "All Is Love"

"All Is Love" which is the song that Karen O recorded for Where The Wild Things Are is streaming on MySpace. It's good, I like it. Take a listen.

**Update: The overwhelming consensus is that this song sucks. Here's the deal people, it was written for a kids movie. It's not a Yeah Yeah Yeahs song and shouldn't be rated as such. It's a soundtrack. You do understand that the goal when writing a song for a movie, television, art installment, or anything of that nature is different then when writing a song for an album, right? It's meant to compliment visuals and in this case for children. It's not the same as writing a pop song for a bunch of whiny hipsters. Please tell me you already know this. I'm not defending Karen O, hell I'm not a very big YYYs fan, but the lack of common sense is disturbing.

Video From The Todd P / Bikes In The Kitchen Show

It's nice that there's video from the later part of this show because I stumbled out drunk during the Juiceboxx set and never made it back.

Pics Of Wild Yaks & Cerebral Ballzy From 600 Bushwick

Wild Yaks and Cerebral Ballzy (amongst others) played the Todd P / Bikes In The Kitchen show yesterday at 600 Bushwick. It was hot as fuck and everyone was piss drunk, including yours truly. All I managed to get were shots of WY & Ballzy. Not even sure I saw anyone else. I kinda roamed the hood part of the day - drinking on roofs, eating at Popeyes, and other bullshit. But from what I remember I had a great time and saw a ton of friends, made a few new ones too.

So So Glos Not Playing Broadway Backyard Tomorrow

I knew it was too good to be true. Bikes In The Kitchen put together what looked like the perfect show. Then about an hour ago I found out that So So Glos dropped off the bill. Damn it! I bought a ticket and everything and now no So So Glos. This sucks...

Time Top 10 Greatest Guitar Players (Bullshit List)

With the passing of Les Paul Time decided to release a piece which ranked the top 10 guitar players of all time. Obviously they got the most suburban yuppie turd they could find to put this list together because it fucking sucks.

Link:
Top 10 Time

01. Jimi Hendrix (Of course, good call.)
02. Slash (#2, fuck off. Maybe 10, maybe.)
03. B.B. King (HAHAHA. Seriously? In the world of blues alone BB King isn't even top 10.)
04. Keith Richards (We love Keith, but #4. No way.)
05. Eric Clapton (Not a fan at all but Clapton could shred, should be higher)
06. Jimmy Page (Love the dudes style but not sure he belongs on this list.)
07. Chuck Berry (HIGHER! #7! Go fuck yourself Time. Dude perfected Rock N' Roll guitar.)
08. Les Paul (Look Les Paul could play and is super important to guitar but not sure he's top 10.)
09. Yngwie Malmsteen (Technically the best guitar player ever BUT fuck him. No soul, off the list.)
10. Prince (Again, HAHAHA. I know everyone loves Prince but I just don't get the guitar praise he gets.)

Now for the real questions. Eddie Van Halen?!?! Stevie Ray Vaughn? Duane Allman? Jeff Beck? Randy Rhodes? Dimebag? The Nuge? Brian May? I mean there are just so many dudes that are better then the cats on this list. I mean, fuck dude - SLASH at #2!!! That just blows my fucking mind.

Goodbye Summer Show w/ So So Glos, Team Robes, DeathSet, Ninjasonik, Wild Yaks, & More!

If you're a fan of the current Brooklyn music scene then this might be the best show ever (flyer below). My only question is where's Boogie Boarder and Matt & Kim? Oh wait, there's "special guests" - OK, I get it. The show is $10, which isn't bad at all for an all day thing and it's at the Broadway Backyard.

**Update: According to MyOpenBar there's going to be some kind of free booze too.
