Why I Love Technology
Last night I was firmly ensconced in my living room couch watching Gossip Girl (go ahead and laugh but I love every minute of it) on TiVo delay so I could skip the commercials. During the show, a song was played that I have never heard before but knew in an instant it had the makings to be my favorite song of the week. Much like the first time I saw "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and decided to dedicate my life to tracking down the song Oh Yeah by Yello, I knew I had to find out what I just heard, who it was, and how I could acquire it.
During the end credits, Gossip Girl's producers were kind enough to inform the viewer of the names of the bands that had contributed music to the show and I was off! Less than 10 minutes after the show had ended, I had found Sour Cherry by The Kills, on Amazon, downloaded the song legally for free (thanks Pepsi bottle cap promotion), dragged it onto my iPod and was listening to it on my Sound Dock.
If someone could just invent a way to download beer, I would never have to leave the house again.

The Most Swashbuckling Speakers I Have Ever Seen
I'm not entirely sure why someone would want these skull speakers. I guess they would nicely compliment a room's pirate themed decor.
Whatever the case may be, they give off a hardy blue light when in use and cost $71.75 for the pair. Apparently there is also a matching webcam. Click here for more info or to buy a pair for the pirate in your life.

Is anybody else having a difficult time getting out of bed in the morning when it's so dark out? I keep thinking it must be raining or something is wrong with my clock and it's actually the middle of the night. Well I have just what you need to make getting up on a dark morning a whole lot easier - Seth's latest podcast.
It's a funky fun number sure to get you in the get-up, featuring Sly and the Family Stone with just the right amount of Sethence added to the mix. Listen now at Seth In Brooklyn and enjoy!

Now I Know How Dick Clark Feels
Last Friday I posted a link to Seth's latest podcast, which is a mash-up of Britney Spears and that crazy You Tube fan, Chris Crocker. It looks like Seth is now climbing the charts because he was just featured on PopBytes' Mashup Of The Week! Check it out now at Popbytes

My Week In Review Part 1
After an exhausting week I finally have a chance to catch my breath, catch up on some sleep, and catch a good buzz. I can also recap some of the highlights of the past four days starting with Monday's True Colors concert at Radio City.
The concert, which was sponsored by Logo and the HRC, was a real fagapalooza, which opened with a performance by Amanda Lepore. If you don't know who that is, I'm afraid I just can't come up with the words to describe her so why not visit her site. After Amanda, The Gossip took the stage and kicked ass, followed by The Dresden Dolls, who were incredibly talented but not exactly my cup of tea.
Finally, it was time for one of the acts I was there to see - Debbie Harry! Although Harry is currently promoting her new album, she still opened with an oldie - 'French kissing in the USA'. Aside from 'New York, New York', French Kissing was the song I was most hoping she would do. Despite her age (she has to be in her 50s by now), Harry sounded incredible and the only way I can think of to describe her voice is that its like the soft half of Velcro, it feels good and grabs your ruff edges.
After Harry there was a short break followed by the evening's only disappointment - Rossie O'Donnel doing her "act". I tried to keep an open mind and forced myself to ignore the fact that she was wearing Crocs but after listening to her for five minutes, I had to retreat to the lobby for a drink.
Then the show really got exciting as Erasure took the stage. This is the band that I always wanted to see during High School but never did. It was worth the wait! They performed some of my favorite songs plus a few from their latest album.
The final performer was Cyndi Lauper, who came up with the idea for the tour. She opened with 'Hole in my Heart' and went on to sing most of her most popular hits including 'Girls Just Want to Have Fun', 'When You Were Mine', 'Goonies' (which I don't think she has ever done live), and of course - 'True Colors'. When Lauper finished her set, all of the evenings acts returned to the stage to sing 'Take A Chance on Me'.
The show was hosted by Margaret Cho, who would come out during acts and entertain the crowd. At one point, she said she likes women who are so butch that they roll their own tampons.
My nostalgia tour rolls on next week when Seth & I will be seeing Morrissey at the Garden. I'll be sure to tell you all about it.

True Colors Teaser
Unfortunately last night by the time I got home from the True Colors tour it was way past my bedtime. Seeing as how I had to get to the Javits this morning on time to see the new Mach 5 and Batmobile unveiled before heading to meet Miley Cyrus (yes, Billy Ray's daughter) I didn't have time to blog about the concert. As soon as I have time, I'll be back with a full report. In the meantime, I'll just tell you that Cyndi Lauper performed the song "Goonies" and it was incredible!

Is It Friday Yet?
This is shaping up to be one hell of a week and when I use the word "hell" I mean insanely busy.
Tonight I'm going to Cyndi Lauper's True Colors show. Cyndi, and a ton of other acts including Deborah Harry and Erasure, are playing at Radio City Music Hall, which should be a fun place to see a concert. The only other time I've been there was for the Christmas Craptacular.
Tomorrow, I'll be trucking my fat ass over to the Javits Convention Center (my least favorite place to go in NYC) for a trade show (my least favorite aspect of my job). After spending the day there I'm off to Bubba Gum's Shrimp something in Times Square for a party being thrown by Paramount. Talk about cheap, doesn't Paramount own that restaurant?
On Wednesday, I have a meeting with the producers, including Gelman, of Live With Regis & Kelly to discuss a toy segment we are producing for Thursday's show. I'm also meeting with Disney that day to check out their latest video games. Then Thursday its back to the Live studios for the actual show after which, I'll head back to my office to try and get everything I didn't do during the week done. Thursday night I plan to get good and drunk then sleep it off most of Friday.
PS. I should include here, for anyone that doesn't know, I'm very lazy and would rather hang out at home with a 6-pack than do just about anything else.

Beats & Treats
Speaking of how drunk I got last night (see earlier post) ... Seth and I headed downtown (is it still called downtown if we traveled there from Brooklyn, which is technically even farther down?) to the Cake Shop to see fellow blogger, Lioux, and his band Sister Kisser perform.
The show was great and both Seth & I were blown away by how much we liked Sister Kisser. The Cake Shop, a little place on the lower east side, is actually a bakery/coffee shop on the ground floor with a basement where the bar and stage are located. After the show we met Lioux, who also introduced Seth & I to Colleen of Cokane's bloggery. It was great to finally meet both Lioux and Colleen in person and throw back a few drinks together. On our way out, Seth bought some cupcakes, one of which is sitting in the kitchen right now looking delicious. Seth ate the Chocolate Iced Chocolate cupcake during the cab ride home and described it as "fucking awesome" and "superb". He is talking about going back just for a cupcake.
As usual, we capped off our night with a few more 6-packs back at the apartment and we are both feeling it today. The last thing I wanted to deal with this morning was a surprise visit from my landlord with some lady and a camera informing me that the building is being sold and this lady needs to photograph my apartment. Great! Anyone know of an available apartment?

A Man Of My Word
Some of you may recall that yesterday I was singing the praises of responsible drinking (much to the chagrin of my soused supporters). In said post, I also promised to atone for my night of responsibility with many evenings of irresponsible imbibing. Well I'm pleased to announce that I lived up to that promise last night!
Let me recount the portions of the past 14 hours that I can clearly recall. I met Seth for dinner at 6:30... I woke up in bed this morning. Just kidding. I actually remember the entire evening from my first cocktail to my second nightcap. After dinner, Seth and I made our way to the Knitting Factory for Kiki & Herb, where we met up with Seth's friends Aaron and Julie.
For those of you who have never witnessed the awesomeness that is Kiki & Herb, they are a lounge-style musical duo played by two guys whose names I can't remember at the moment. Herb plays the piano and occasionally sings while Kiki belts out the hits, does some fascinating dance steps and polishes of a bottle of Canadian Club. Last night's one-night-only performance was filmed for their upcoming DVD, which we will likely hear Seth and Julie shouting on. Words can't do this act justice, which is why I shot the following video for you. Enjoy!
