Having just seen Jay-Z in Champaign and borrowing all his cds from my cousin Meezy, I thought this was U2 playing with Hova was neato. I don’t know if I would call Jay-Z the mayor of New York, but those Irish like to think they’re clever. Via Berkeley Place.
Those Darlins are coming back to Chicago. Normally I would say, “hey, there an awesome band, but I just saw them,” but not this time. They are opening up for the amazing King Kahn and BBQ Show. Tickets are $15 and its at the Logan Square Auditorium on Dec 2. Who’s in? Norah, you’re back in town, right?
Julian Casablancas apparently doesn’t care what the calendar says, cause he put on his myspace a cover of the SNL song “I wish it were Christmas Today.” Stereogum adequately described it as sounding like an early Strokes b-side. Yup, that goofy song Horatio Sans, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan and Tracy Morgan did a couple years ago that was Neil and Austin’s favorite for so many years. Julian probably does care about getting as much press as he can for the solo album released two days ago, which is most likely the reason for the release. And if you want to listen the rest of the album, its streaming in it’s entirety on his myspace also.
