Much to relate....

Frantic emails from Lynn's no-nonsense other half Kendra about how to put track names on CDS. WHY CAN WE NOT REMEMBER/FIGURE THIS OUT??!!??! anyone have advice?!??

But this means they are actually in process of getting CD together to send out..!!!!

This weekend marked the end of an era. Adam's wine bar has closed. RIP Total Wine Bar.
I look forward to Adam's next place, Total Beer and Fried Pickles All For Steve Bar.

I will be in Boston for part of this week to see this:

























And this weekend I will be in the land of Cara D.'s historical past land happy burrito times:


And finally, Hugo departs very soon. New York will be without our favorite midwestern Brit.

Hot town, summer in the city

John is currently listening to Celia Cruz and it is hot out. Still. Again. Always.

Couple updates...
First, club newbie Lynn has decided to take advantage of what I like to think of as the "Adam-Robertson-Delayed-Debut Clause." A CD is coming, she promises, it just ain't here yet.
Let's take a moment to discuss: who IS Lynn?

Lynn Fairy-uh
Status: Hot
Career: Awesome things like helping homeless people,
gay people, and I assume gay homeless people
Style: She is able to rock V-necks, vests, and cop
glasses. I am not sure I have ever seen her in a dress
or a skirt?
Trivia: For whatever reason, the person who
introduced me to Lynn liked to call her Beau.

All this to say: her CD will be awesome, when it comes.


Think number of people are attending Rufus Wainwright at Prospect Park on Tuesday July 20. Tickets are still on sale.

Myself, I am duty-bound to attending the Varese concerts at Lincoln Center Festival. Varese, for everyone who is not John Andress, was one of the most influential composers of the 20th century, despite only writing like 15 pieces. Though I am sad to not be joining Rufus in my backyard, these concerts are pretty f-ing amazing and though this is part of my job, I will be enjoying myself. In a very different way than watching Rufus croon though Judy's Songbook...



One last note - Hugo will be leaving NYC in August because he is a punk who places new experiences and new terrain above my friendship. Oh and also because he wants a Californian boy. Hopefully we will all get to say goodbye before he leaves us for this -------------->

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.
