Lazyboy - Underwear Goes Inside Your Pants
"Lazyboy is the brainchild of producers Johnny Douglas and Soren Rasted. The comedian that is doing the dialogue is Greg Giraldo."
I don't know the whole story here, but apparantly KRock is playing this "song," and that's pretty cool. Check it out.
Watch the Lazyboy video here or here.

NYU's Next Vegan Dinner - October 12th
I love October because it means the start of vegan dinners at NYU. With the help of SEAL, NYU turns one of their dining halls completely vegan for one dinner every month. Pizza, entrees, un-chicken nuggets, ice cream, salad, soup, etc.... All you can eat in a real school cafeteria...even if you don't go to school there (even if you're not vegan).
Here are the details for the next one:
The first vegan night is going to be next tuesday, October 12th in:
Hayden Dining Hall (located at Washington Square West between W4th St. and Washington Pl. )
The hours are: 4:30-8:00 pm
It is $7.95+tax (or NYU meal plan)
and, best of all.... ALL YOU CAN EAT!!!
And is open to the public, so come one come all and load up on
tasty vegan food...
plus come and see what SEAL is all about for our new and
improved 2004-05 year!!!
ps sorry for the short notice, our new head chef is working very
hard to accommodate for us and our needs and this first vegan night
was just a bit rushed for his schedule. ... but it is happening, and
that is what counts!!
pps. no pre menu - COME AND BE AMAZED!
These vegan dinners are part of the reason NYU was voted one of the most veggie friendly schools in the country.

David Lee Roth & Juliette Lewis to Rock Tribeca
In related, but unrelated news, both Juliette Lewis & Diamond Dave (sort of, maybe) are coming to the Tribeca Rock Club in NYC.
This Saturday, 10/9/2004, is "Diamond Dave's 50th Birthday Bash!"
'David Lee Roth is turning 50. And he's STILL twice as cool as two 25 year-old verisons of Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone COMBINED. So come on down and celbrate the man, the myth, the LEGEND with a healthy dose of VAN ROTH classics as well as some gems from the Diamond Dave solo catalog. We'll have a boatload of surprises as well as some surprise guests, and who knows, if we're lucky Diamond Dave himself will grace us with his presence!'
Unchained, a Van Halen tribute band, will be performing.
Then on Saturday November 13th, Juliette and The Licks rock Tribeca Rock. Juliette Lewis of Cape Fear, Kalifornia, and Natural Born Killers fame, is the Licks' sexy, punk-rock frontwoman.
Stream Juliette and The Licks tunes on their brand new website.
And check out these pics from various California performances.
Tickets available here.

Bloc Party @ Tribeca Grand Hotel - pics
The Bloc Party show at Tribeca Grand wasn't as good as the one at Knitting Factory 2 nights earlier. Maybe because Knitting Factory was their first U.S. show ever. Maybe because Knitting Factory is a better venue. Maybe because they were tired from 3 nights of partying and playing in the U.S.A. (Philly the night before) Maybe because they didn't go on until two hours after they were advertised to go on. Maybe because most people had to wait on a long line to get into this 'free' party. Maybe you don't agree. Anyway, they still rocked...short set or not.
Rumor: Bloc Party signed to a major U.S. label @ Tribeca Grand.
Here are some pictures from this event (2 October 2004).

Who thinks the Scissor Sisters won't take middle america by storm? (haven't they sort of already?)
"They sprang from the scuzzy bars of New York's East Village, blossomed in the UK, and now they're about to seduce middle America. Can Scissor Sisters survive with freshness and honesty intact? "

Franz Ferdinand @ Roseland Again
![Franz Ferdinand at Roseland](/img/roseland.jpg")
I went to Roseland last night(3 October 2004) just to sell my Franz Ferdinand tickets because I had too much to do, and I didn't really feel like seeing them again. I had four tickets. A friend was taking one of them. Another friend was meeting me outside to help "scalp" the other three. I only wanted face value.
I got there around 8. I figured I'd be out of there and on my way back home in 5 minutes. An hour and a half later, after having my life threatened by "professional" scalpers for competing with their business, Franz Ferdinand was going on. I still had 2 tix in hand. The best I could get at that point was $10 for both from other scalpers. In I went.
The show was pretty good, but I wasn't really feelin it. I stayed out real late the night before (Bloc Party...Tribeca Grand...pics soon), stood all the way in the back of Roseland, and needed to be home to finish some work. The friend who came with me had never heard them before though. Now they've got one new fan.
I don't have any pictures from the inside because Roseland confiscated my camera battery at the door. That never happened before. Coincidentally, that was one of the only times in recent history that I didn't bring a second battery. Luckily, I did get the battery back from Roseland security before I left. The pictures would of looked exactly the same as the last show anyway.
