Here’s a track to get you hype for the weekend. Smooth enough to put on in the afternoon as you watch the second hand tick ever so slowly, but it also has enough disco kick that you can carry it over into your early and/or late night partying. Be sure to check out DFAers Holy Ghost! at one of their upcoming shows in New York, Boston, Miami, or Toronto.

[MP3]: Holy Ghost!  ”Hold On”
Single, DFA; 2007

For some Friday laughs, head over to two.one.five magazine for their “All Time Worst Celebrity Drunks” feature. Seriously, it’s hilarious and will waste a good chunk of your day, the Orson Welles thing had me rolling.

Just In Time for the Holidays…Hot Dr. Pepper!

I came across this at Retro Thing. It’s hard to believe Dr. Pepper actually promoted this. The ad is from the 60s and I’m guessing it never caught on cause who wants a hot cup of sugared soda?! Anyone ever tried it?

is it just me, or has nightlife in manhattan slowly degenerated into a party mecca for the top 40 craving congregations? i won’t bore you with a prolonged rant on the issue, but the good old days at misshapes and sweet paradise (which was just a month ago) have come and gone. so as posers and bankers spilled over from the meatpacking to the corners of the island, a few of us ventured out to greenpoint, bk for a night of free-spirited, though heavily spirit-fueled, revelry at studio b. put on your dancing shoes and join the exodus.

New Year’s Eve LOFT PARTY w/ special guest Valeze

Posted: December 14th, 2005 | Author: justin | Filed under: drinking, events, general, music, nyc | 21 Comments »

Valeze’s provocative shows are pumped full of raw energy. With a whirlwind of melodically-crashing songs, they command the stage with fierce guitar riffs and the wicked vocals of the flirtatious and classically-trained Tiffany Randol. Building on their influences from the seminial bands of the late Seventies – Blondie, the Clash and the Sex Pistols in particular – Valeze has cultivated a sound all their own. Live, the sexy Tiff may be the focal point, but the Valeze experience wouldn’t be complete without the infectious energy of AC Delco (guitar), Joe H(bass), Tim Grace (keys)and Miles Kennedy (drums). Dressed to the nines in their matching suits and tiny ties, these guys instill fervor into each and every performance. Valeze is guaranteed to light up the night and wake up the neighbors!

Come out and join us for our New Year’s Eve bash hosted in conjunction with the good people at 301 West 18TH Street. The bar will be stocked with unlimited liquor and beer, plus we’ll be having a champagne toast at midnight! One of New York City’s most exciting live bands, Valeze, will be putting on a very special live show before the ball drops, don’t miss it! As usual, the dancefloor will be bumpin’ from the sounds provided by the guys here at CrackersUnited. They’ll be spinning a wide range of music including indie, brit, new wave, electro, and hip-hop.

IMPORTANT: This party is RSVP ONLY. Follow the link below to RSVP, you can also prepay in advance through this link. There will be a list at the door of those who RSVP’d, so don’t forget.
