I hereby declare ALL VOCODERS illegal. If I hear another song sounding like T-Pain I might kill someone.
R, or “Ar-ruh” as my people are wont to say, needs to pack it up and rely on royalties from “Step in the Name of Love” or whatever, because this shit is NOT the business. Chocolate Factory was so good that people forgot he was a fucking pervert pedophile and were steppin in the name of love and rocking the Ignition remix like there was no tomorrow. But this - NO! This is not good enough to wipe my memory of seeing him micturate on a 14 year old.
DO. NOT. WANT. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go directly to jail.
Imagine a Chicago with no Metro or Double Door or Schuba’s. Imagine a Chicago with no Royal George or Bailiwick or Athenaeum. Imagine a Chicago where local music is only heard in the suburbs and theater is limited to Wicked and Jersey Boys.
The Chicago City Council is attempting to pass an “Event Promoter’s Ordinance” that would make it very difficult for any but the biggest acts and shows to perform in the city. They are voting on Wednesday, May 14th. Please go to this website and leave a comment as a signature of your disapproval. The signatures will be presented at the council meeting on Wednesday and to all Chicago aldermen.
Some details about the proposed ordinance:
The “Event Promoters” ordinance requires any event promoter to have a license from the city of Chicago and liability insurance of $300,000, but that’s just the start:
The definition of “event promoter” is so loosely defined it could apply to a band that books its own shows or a theater company that’s in town for a one-week run.
“Event Promoter” must be licensed and will pay $500 - $2000 depending on expected audience size.
To get the license, applicant must be over 21, get fingerprinted, submit to a background check, and jump over several other hurdles.
This ordinance seems targeted towards smaller venues, since those with 500+ permanent seats are exempt.
Police must be notified at least 7 days in advance of event.
Please do your part to retain a vibrant artistic community in Chicago!
I sort of wish Evite didn’t show you the date that invitees read your invitation, because I get really fucking annoyed when assholes read invitations but don’t respond. I get that maybe you aren’t sure yet, you gotta check your calendar. I get it. But I mean, just commit or don’t. And none of this “maybe” junk either. I wish I could eliminate that option (ok, maybe that’s a little bit irrational). I hate nothing in this world more than people who play the “let me see what else comes up, then I’ll commit” game. I have a friend who does that shit all the time and if I could kill him I would.
In short, if you are reading this and have yet to respond to my Evite, well, get crackin’ assholes.
Kanye just dropped this over at his fake-tumblr. Kinda nuts. I uploaded it to senduit. Click the link, download should start (and it’s none of that RapidShare/Zshare crap either)
You know what’s funny? When RMXs are hotter than the orignal tracks. Download this.
I can’t lean back fully in my chair today. My cousin has one of those shiatsu massage chairs at her house and it fucked up my back seven ways to sunday. It felt great everywhere EXCEPT for my scapulas. Which is weird because, I mean, I’ve got a lot of cushion over my bones, if you’re picking up what I’m puttin down. But not over the scaplual region, I guess. It feels like someone beat me in the back with a meat tenderizer.
If I see another fucking tumblr thread about how much someone is grossed out by fat people, I’m finding where you live and taking my fat self and sitting on you.
Things That I Often Think About # 45 // Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna making out.
GGB and DL are a) too adorable for words and b) BFF. So of course, in my mind, they sometimes go to parties and have one too many cervezas, and passionately make out. I think about this often.
The video, a clip from Y Tu Mama, Tambien, is sort of NSFW, but 100% safe for life.
