Boys of Summer

I have it on good authority that John A. is coming to NYC in the next couple weeks and will bring additional copies of his CDs with him for me to give to the people who did not receive them in the mail. He DID have the right address...

Gossip report: Caramania and Matt the Giraffe will have their CDs ready this weekend. And they are both fighting over the SAME MAN!!!!

Meanwhile I think Brian and Christian are moving soon? John and I had a great time in L.A., I haven't seen Lynn in ages, and Hugo is moving away from us at the end of the summer.








CUTE FIGHT!!!



VS.

Shows!!!

Tonight John K. and I and Hugo and others?!?!? are going to see Janelle Monae, who if possible, is fiercer than Christian.


















Which reminded me of other shows I have seen recently. All of them of the non rock and pop variety.


Such as the musical Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, which actually sort of rocked. Literally.
And Andrew Jackson was sort of hot, in his tight pants.
Hoping you all took the time to see it.

And I have been seeing a lot of dance. So much dance! Johanna you would not believe how much dance I am seeing!!!





I am quite looking forward to a dance by this bloke:
Um...that's all. Really.

Brian Findley Made Me Do It

This weekend I saw Brian. And he said, "sometimes, when I am done looking at my favorite blogs, like cute overload and gawker and hotparkslopedads, i take a gander at steve's music club, which hasn't been updated in a long time, and has lost a bunch of pictures." (John K. - I blame you)

While one can take many things away from this, what I took away from this is that - someone still looks at the blog!!! So I WILL update it!!! if only for Brian.

CDs!!!
We are SO CLOSE to being all caught up. John A's CDs went out - and um...once again Donnie did NOT get them!!! John A, please come down to NYC, bring some CDs along, meet Donnie (who thinks you hate him) and let's rectify this weirdness.

Christian started his official CD launch, so everyone should have theirs soon if not already - lemme know lemme know if you need these as well!!!

And that means...Matt and Cara are next!!! yeah Matt and Cara!! Not to be confused with Matt and Kim!!!

Shows

Remember when Hugo desperately wanted to use this as a platform for saying what shows people are going to? Well, I am bringing that back. Sort of. This week, about 100 people have talked to me about going to Magnetic Fields, The National, or the neglected plays of Tennesee Williams. Which is not really about music, but whatevs.

Anyway - I wanted to let everyone know that SUNDAY John is thinking about going to see Darren Hanlon from the Lucksmiths at Bruar Falls.

And I see a heap of Classical shows. And dance. But really, I only want to watch LOST.

February Comes Late this Year

Poor February.

It has come to my attention that the track listings didn't come through on the CD. My computer is a liar! So click through the images above for the track listings.

Livin' On The Edge

Some explanation may be in order here.
Many of you have probably now received Hugo's 2009 CD (actually double CD). It was necessary that he make this (despite the Hugota CD sent in his absence by Jen, his neighbors, someone bored, etc) in order to be in the 2010 club.
So, there are some 2009ers who are not in the 2010 club that got these CDs, and some 2010ers who did not get them - because it is the last CD from 2009. Eh, if Adam can send out July in September or whatever, then Hugo can send out...actually I think Hugo's month kept changing a

Let's compare the faux-Hugo CD Hugota and the proper Hugo CDs, Livin' on the Edge and small figures in a vast expanse, shall we?Hugo's CD have great cover art, including pictures of penguins, mountains, waterfalls, and a guy with a really nice back. Hugota's cover art is maybe too clever?
Hugo's CD has a vast assortment of styles and genres and eras. Hugota has a vast assortment of styles and genres and eras. And also has the song Patron Tequila which is sort of hard to argue with. But ultimately Hugo's real CDs are actually made BY Hugo, so I guess they win on a technicality.

A side note - Ushuaia is the southern but of Argentina, sort of like the Yukon of South America. There is a music festival down there, and the wanted to use the Brooklyn Phil. I spent a few weeks of my life trying to come up with a budget for this, only to find out they really had no money to give us. Ho to the HUM.

Okay - the first CD of 2010 is coming soon! John is finalizing it RIGHT NOW!!!!!

2010 CD Club Has Begun!!!!!!!

Friends, Romans, Dan and Donnie -

It is a new year and with it new people have joined the club!!!
This year Christian S. (officially) joins the club, and I also excited to introduce Lynn F. to the group. I know none of you know who Lynn is...she is a quiet wallflower of a dainty princess, who listens I believe to a lot of Wilson Phillips. Please, everyone, be nice to her.

A few people have also left the club. Paul Wag2itz, one of the original members, felt it was time to move on. And Signe B., the only one of us with a child (Cara, having Matt as a roommate is NOT like having a child, despite your complaints) , has decided that time constraints don't allow her to spend the time necessary on this blog.

Finally, Hugo is IN, pending the arrival of his 2009 CD sometime soon - he is insistent this will happen, and I am hoping to resolve the situation. I am under the impression that Jen is out though Hugo was also the official mouthpiece for the two of them so I really have no idea....

John and I had a great time in Hong Kong. Pictures on facebook.
I have returned to work. When do working people do things like laundry???
