It's About Freakin' Time!
So blogger started working again this morning, for practically no reason at all. We'll still be transitioning the site to a new platform/server, but at least we can update now. Thanks for all the help and advice. You guys rock.
NOW...
One thing I've been wanting to mention for the last two weeks is the Lolita Bras residency at Pianos. They have two more shows, tonight and next Thursday, and I cannot recommend them enough. The first two shows of the residency were nothing short of spectacular. If you don't go, you'll be kicking yourself by next year when they are the IT indie rock band. (Note: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah! had the January residency at Pianos last year.) Still don't believe me? Believe others:
Of course, we all know who said it first:
But, Carol, I need a sample! How else will I really know if I want to see them live?
Her Own Conversation
Finally, if you need anymore convincing, if you need one last little nudge in the right direction, I have one word for you: Patrick.
Do the right thing, kids. Come dance up front with me tonight.
THURSDAY JANUARY 19

11:30 - Mazarin
10:30 - The Comas
9:30 - Lolita Bras

- A.M. New York
"Lolita Bras is a regular on the local scene. The band's songwriting skill and onstage energy, however, set them apart from the rest."
Oh My Rockness
"NYC's Lolita Bras are a highly melodic band influenced by early U.K. bands...often, singer Patrick Harmon's vocals channel the emotive might of Morrissey. These guys have been playing all over lately and are being called by many 'The Next NYC Band.' One thing is for sure; Lolita Bras are entirely listenable and if you go check them out, you probably won't be reaching for the ear plugs and running for the bar."
Of course, we all know who said it first:
- Drink at Work's Carol "I Have Flawless Taste, Bitch" Hartsell
"Everything Lolita Bras does on stage and in their new EP Caught in the Open Too Deep is so direct and elegant, it elicits an almost embarrassing joy in the listener. A mature band that makes you want to bounce around the room, hug a stranger and hang upside down, Lolita Bras is going somewhere, and my guess is the first stop is your iPod."
But, Carol, I need a sample! How else will I really know if I want to see them live?

Hey! Glad y'all are back...
Glad you are up and running. With the site down, I was discovered a personal analogy, presented here S.A.T. style:
Medium Large:Sally Forth::heroin:methadone
Haven't decided between Movable Type and WordPress. In a fit, I went ahead and bought Movable Type...so I guess I'll try that. I mean, you know...all the cool kids use it.
oh i missed you guys!!
We SO missed your flawless taste, bitch.
Hey, I use WordPress! I ... I guess I'm not cool. *SNIFF* All those kids in 9th grade gym class were right and my mom was wrong! WAAAHHHH!
Seriously, MovableType is supposed to be wicked awesome. I'm just wicked cheap. I can see how in the wake of your crisis you might want something that comes with a support department.

Must look into this "tech support thing" I keep hearing about ...
I was at the Pianos show thursday night. I didnt see you carol. And Patrick did nothing for me. The blonde was cute. and the password was 'burrito' of all things.
hmm...we were up front. but the room was pretty packed. hope you enjoyed it. and yes, erica is quite lovely.
