There comes a time when you have to ask yourself, have I been blogging way too much about a buzz band? Has our adoring, dedicated audience "had it up to HERE" with our over-the-top praise for Minnesotan quartet Tapes 'n Tapes? Are we boring you with our constant adoration? Well, I sure the shit hope not cause now its my turn to gush!!
Last night, I over-the-head clapped so hard at the ProductShop NYC show to both Sam Champion's and TnT's sets, I tuckered myself out and was forced to head straight home after some low impact indie rock aerobics at the Bowery for We Are Scientists. While they totes forgot to give TPM a promised shout out, those hairy/tight panted SC boys melted my face off. The Tapes team jammed out so hard they hurt each other, yesss! Big props to my herterosexual life partner Dana who slow danced with me to "Omaha" and lovingly lent me one ear plug so I am only deaf in one ear today. Dane, for that selfless act, I will lend you one and only one organ. As long as its not a cornea.
Hate to be verbose but seeing as the last time I posted was all the way back in 05, I feel the need to have a little "me time" with our devoted TPM readers. A few current "always the last to know" obsessions:
*Yacht Rock: The (completely untrue) stories behind the creation of the totally smooth music popularized by the likes of my faves Kenny Loggins and Michael McDonald. Adam turned me onto it and now its following has become cult-like at my office. If you like boat shoes (Chrashton!) and fightin words like "California Vagina Sailors" (Chrashton!), then you will love this brilliant online series! Watch em now.
*Chuck Norris Top Thirty Facts: Pretty much the best forward ever, with my #1 being "As a teen Chuck Norris impregnated every nun in a convent tucked away in the hills of Tuscany. Nine months later the nuns gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in professional football history." Oh, and this "Walker Texas Ranger" clip from Conan is equally priceless!
*Futurama on AdultSwim: I never watched it while it was on but I've been giggling a lot at Fry, Leela, Bender and the gang late night. Heard theres a rumor its coming back on ala Family Guy. Hellz yes!
*The Cheesecake Factory: Jay and his crew have Chili's, my vote for TPM's official chain of choice goes to Cheesecake. As I so delicately explained to Mr. Good Times, its not about the dessert, its about the amazing 25 page menu (with ads!) chock full of obnoxiously gigantic appetizers and entrees. Yep, I love me a trough of salad and a platter of pasta. Who's comin with me?
Oh and btw, my song of the day: Private Eyes by Hall & Oates!!
