The Spanish Moon - Velcro

January 7th, 2008 by Tabatha

velcro.jpgThe Spanish Moon has a new thing. I’m not sure about it, but I plan to go check it out. Star 80, their 80’s night,  is pretty decent. It’s probably the best 80s night around because the DJ has good taste. I wonder if you can get any free drinks on indie dance night. Thats half the awesomeness of Star 80. Chicks drink free ’til 10pm and end up drunk on a table singing ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ at closing time. Now that’s entertainment.

Wed Dec26 is the birth of our new brain child, VELCRO : The Indie Dance Party featuring the best in indie dance, Electro & Hip Hop. It will run for a 6 week trial period.

Also, didn’t Red Star have something just like this? Not that I’d know. I’m a little claustrophobic. Is this a replacement indie night? Also also, can someone explain the name ‘Velcro’ to me?

A volcano in the ocean.

I have an interview Tuesday at 4. At H&R Block. Not exactly my idea of a perfect job, but it’s obviously only temporary if I get it. I don’t even remember applying. It’s way better than that one place I went to in the ghetto. That place was filthy and scary.  AND if I get it and they train me, I pretty much have that going for me every year around this time. Hopefully I don’t need it after plans are acted out. You can never know with plans, though.

My favorite band has changed. That’s what you get, The Elected, for not putting out a third album soon enough for my huge musical appetite. Maybe this year. Maybe. My musical tastes make me feel like an island. I’m not sure if that’s good or bad, but I do miss sharing! Oh, how I do.

New Jack Johnson Album. Yay!

December 15th, 2007 by Tabatha

Jack Johnson’s new album comes out in February. I heard the song If I had Eyes today on XM channel 47 (Ethel). It’s pretty good. He hasn’t totally flipped style like I’ve heard and like some bands I really liked the way they were have done. It’s nice. More awesome Jack Johnson-ness.

Visit JackJohnson’s web site for more information on the new album, including the entire tracklist. There’s a new song on his MySpace, too. It’s also good, as if I have to mention that. Jack Johnson has never done anything that I thought was less than amazing.
