Razorlight opening, Gratitude not, Jimmy Eats World Presale today

The Ticketweb presale for Jimmy Eats World at Webster Hall on November 8th starts at 4pm (EST) today. (Will this one really sell out that fast?)
Password: robc
The hyped up band from the UK, Razorlight, is opening.
Unfortunately, a band called Recover is also opening. I won't be going to this show, but I would have if Gratitude was opening. Gratitude finishes the tour with Jimmy Eats World and Razorlight in Pittshburgh, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
Jimmy Eats World also plays Warsaw in Brooklyn on October 15th. Tickets are already on sale for that.

White Magic @ Bowery Ballroom - Pics & (Fiery Furnaces) Review

White Magic opened for The Fiery Furnaces on Saturday (25 September 2004). I wasn't too impressed.
Filter Magazine published a bad review of the whole show.
I think the reviewer was right on with this comment:
"Opening act, New York’s own White Magic, had no idea who they were. Their lead singer looked about as happy to be onstage as I was happy to see my newly crimson pillow the morning after getting my wisdom teeth pulled – and that’s not too happy"
BUT I'm "dumbfounded" with the reviewer's opinion of The Fiery Furnaces. He writes:
"But what I ended up getting at this concert was a dumbfounding, counterintuitive mess. I’m still scratching my head at their performance – essentially one long medley, with few cohesive songs actually being played."
"After an uninspired encore, the medley was over. And I left the bordering-on-condescending show along with a mass of similarly disappointed fans."
Strange that he failed to mention the 5 minute pause in their set when Matt broke a guitar string. The crowd didn't stop clapping the entire time. They couldn't. They were blown away by what had they just heard. I wonder if those are the dissapointed fans he's referring to.
And by the way Chris, you really should check out their first album.
Here's a review more in line with what I saw.

Keane @ Irving Plaza
I just got back from the Keane show at Irving Plaza, but I didn't go in. Too many shows in a row. Too many shows coming up. Too much demand for my 4 tickets outside Irving Plaza.

Oasis Sanctuary Benefit @ 2 Rivers - pics

The benefit for Oasis Sanctuary (28 September 2004 @ 2 Rivers), though a bit unorganized, turned out to be an interesting event. The crowd was split about 50/50 between animal activists & Playboy bunnies (and their entourage). They advertised that "two-legged bunnies" would be in attendance. I didn't quite know what that meant till I got there.
Edie Falco showed up for a few minutes and donated some autographed memorabilia for the raffle. Peter Max also donated a bunch of paintings and prints.

The Playboy Bunnies were on hand to help raise money for Eddie Lama and his amazing efforts. They were selling raffle tickets, posing for polaroids, and mixing it up a bit.


Eddie poses with the girls.



You can catch this girl (shown holding the Marc Jacobs boots she won in the raffle) in the November issue of Playboy:

9 Cyclists Arrested in Protest

Nine people were arrested last night and 40 bicycles were seized as about a thousand cyclists hit the streets in the monthly Critical Mass bicycle protest ride, the police said. The cyclists filled the canyons of Park Avenue and Broadway in a smaller replay of the ride that led to hundreds of arrests on the eve of the Republican National Convention.

Blondie, The Strokes, Sonic Youth...Ramones Cancer Benefit

Be Well - The Ramones Beat on Cancer
Here are the details for the Ramones benefit concert you've been reading about...
Blondie, The Strokes, Sonic Youth, CJ and Tommy Ramone, Daniel Rey, Andrew WK and special guests to appear at benefit concert at New York Nightclub Spirit - Friday October 8th (doors 6PM).
Location:
Spirit New York
530 W. 27th Street
New York, NY 10001
Tickets are $50 (before the ticketmaster service charge) (but it's for a good cause with lots of headliners).
The biggest problem is deciding whether you want to go to this, or Rilo Kiley at Bowery Ballroom or Explosions in the Sky at Mercury Lounge or The Mountain Goats & John Vanderslice at Knitting Factory.
Also, I'm a little leary about the whole nightblub as a concert venue thing. Spirit holds 2000 people. Anyone been to a show there?

San Genero Festival Cannoli Eating Contest - pics

Friday (17 September 2004) I took off of work. I was walking around the San Genero festival (which is still running by the way) with a friend from out of town. By total chance, I was there for the 3rd annual Cannoli Eating Contest - sponsored by the International Federation of Competitive Eaters. They're the same ones who do the Hot Dog eating contest in Coney Island. So of course I took some pics.
Last year's winner (Cookie Jarvis) kicked off the event. He holds the world record in Cannoli eating: 21 in 6 minutes.




















Badlands Booker takes the prize with 16.5 Cannolis in 6 minutes.

For a better recap of this event, read:

Rape Attempt in Greenpoint
Here's a disturbing story (not about me) that will make you think twice before walking home by yourself late at night.
"i was attacked last night at about 4:30 in the
morning on nassau near mcguinness (greenpoint). a car had
been following me for a few blocks when it pulled over, and
this guy got out and waited for me to walk by. i thought i could
just tell him to f*ck off and walk past him, but he wouldn't let me
pass. then he grabbed me, and i couldn't move. i was
screaming for help, and a couple actually walked by and did
NOTHING (seriously, i hope they go to hell). he was trying to
cover my mouth (i'm pretty sure i bit him), and he was trying to
force me into his car. he had a gun in his car. i'm almost
positive he's a rapist. luckily, i finally broke free and kicked
him in the face with my heels as he was bent
toward the car. i think he was bleeding, and i ran
away. i made the foolish, drunken decision to walk home by
myself (though i was warned against it), which i'll never do
again. sometimes i feel like greenpoint is really safe, and it's
fine to walk home. i've realized it's never fine to walk home
alone at 430 am. i filed a police report. i remember that the guy
had really short blonde hair and was driving a cheesy, black
sports type car. i would say he was around 30 and really
muscular and definitely Polish. the police are looking for him,
but they told me to make sure i told everyone i knew to be
careful because these type of crimes are never isolated
incidents. please don't walk anywhere alone late at night, look
out for this guy (his face is probably f*cked up right now), and
BE CAREFUL!!! please repost this or email it to people you
know in the area or just tell people to be safe."
RightRides wants to help you avoid a similar situation. If you want to help them, their next meeting is Wednesday, September 22nd at Triple Crown Bar (N11th and Bedford) at 7:00

Type O Negative Fall Tour Postponed

from Type O Negative's Management:
"Type O Negative postpones fall dates.
During a recent medical exam, undisclosed anomalies were discovered and it was suggested that Peter Steele, lead singer, bassist and songwriter, undergo further tests.
As a firm timetable for the tests and the subsequent results is indeterminable, it has been decided to postpone the fall tour to a later date when there will be no foreseeable conflicts with scheduling.
In the meantime Type O Negative continues to work on the forthcoming release, the first for new label SPV, due in 2005."
I hope it's nothing serious. Get well soon Peter.
