DJ Tankboy + Old Oak Tap = Friday funday!
It is the first Friday of the month, so that means I will be curating the music within the walls of the Old Oak Tap this evening. It’s supposed to be a relatively nice evening, so come on out and enjoy it before the weather turns icy and you find yourself hunkered down on your couch with only the television (and possibly your partner if you have one / if they can still stand you after months of cabin fever) as company.
As usual I have a…

My inner ten-year-old’s hormones just went into overdrive.
Princess Leia and her stunt-double catch some rays.
In other news, check out my review of the new Prairie Cartel album, and don’t forget to catch them at Angels & K

The Indi-Bro
Main Entry: indi·bro
Pronunciation: \ˈindy-broh\
Function: noun
Date: 2009
: An attractive male person who enjoys independent music and/or culture, but still persists in being a bro (see bro). A hipster male may befriend an indi-bro, but mostly because said bro/hipster hybrid can get free tickets to shows and/or knows where all the parties serving free liquor are located. Often mocked behind his back for his use of hair gel/rippling pecs/secret love for power ballads, the indi-bro, in turn, uses the hipster to up his “authenticity” factor.
Notable indi-bros:
Gabe Saporta (possibly ironic pop/punk star who enjoys wearing plaid and silly sunglasses; also enjoys exclamation marks and is widely known for being a “babe”)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (reclusive film star who started out “cool,” appearing in such sleeper hits as Brick and Mysterious Skin, and then lost a measure of cred for his role in the aggressively hipster-marketed 500 Days of Summer. After appearing on the cover of Nylon Men, JGL officially sealed his indi-bro status, but managed to retain some respect for looking like a pale-faced Midwestern bartender who just took a dip in a swimming pool filled with whiskey and poor life choices.)
Chuck Palahniuk (formerly subversive author with a penchant for penning cringe-worthy stories involving everything from lullabies that kill to pool-cleaning hoses that suck out one’s insides. Loved by hipsters for, like, two seconds before publications like Men’s Fitness called him out for being quirky and that “first rule of Fight Club” joke was pulverized like the proverbial dead horse. Plus, check those guns.)

Obligatory “Sorry for the skimpy posts” post.
So I’ve got this thing where I force myself to do at least one post a day during the week. I’ve been doing it for years, and it helps keep the gears churning, even in dry periods. I am currently not in a creatively dry period, but I am in the middle of a time-strapped stretch.
So yes, you’ve seen more photos and videos and less words. Why is that? Well, GalPal and I have been searching for a new apartment, and that has been incredibly…

Weezer with Kenny G
“I’m Your Daddy”
AOL Session 2009
Rivers Cuomo has Lil Wayne guest on his record, jams live in session with Kenny G, and is selling his new album as a bonus gift with a Weezer-branded Snuggie. He exists in a continuum of irony and non-irony so hilarious and confusing that if he’s not the new Andy Warhol, he’s at least rock’s answer to Jeff Koons.

So is Josh Freese drumming full time for Weezer?
I hope not. I mean, he’s obviously excellent, and on the new disc his style adds punch, but I like pat’s heavier, steadier style better with the band.
