Celestial Navigations
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) jblaque reminds me of something markbernstein and I have loved for a long time: the storytelling duo of Geoffrey Lewis and Geoff Levin, performing under the name Celestial Navigations. It is hard to overstate how wonderful this stuff is, and fortunately easy to demonstrate: Not to mention the incredible " Horses". Any good storytelling you've found lately to share? Audiobooks count. |

Tonight, tonight
One more and it'd be a Phil Collins reference. Now that you've had a solid day to scrape the mold off our skull buckle boots and squeeze the rainwater from your lungs, it's time to go to Shadow Gallery's fourth annual Christmas party! SEE the inimitable Leah Kahn dance with flames sprouting from her hands! HEAR the finest, darkest and most ferocious goth, industrial, swirl and death rock! DANCE the Mamuschka at 1 a.m. to compete for a fabulous $50 gift certificate from the good people at Wicked Orleans! All this and more upstairs at Maison Musique, 508 Frenchmen St., at 11 o'clock, for no cover. Here's a flyer. ( Click. I won't bite. ) Current Music: Twisted Sister - O Come All Ye Faithful. That or The Vandals - Oi To The World |

Benefit dinner
Looking for something to do Sunday night because the Saints are playing tonight??? JohnPaul's on Elysian Fields is having a benefit dinner and (aging) drag show to raise money for Slut Puppies alum T-Paul (aka Ken Gue). Ken was suffering from some internal bleeding back in October, when the doctors went in to repair some intestinal tears they did some bloodwork. The day after the tears were repaired, he lost his job (as a home hospice nurse). There were some abnormalities in Ken's blood, so the docs called him back for more tests. Two weeks after his 62nd birthday, he was diagnosed with lymphnoma. Lung cancer. Without treatment, Ken has six months. With treatment, he has a 40% chance of beating this disease. So! Tomorrow evening at 5:30 PM there will be a benefit spaghetti dinner followed by a drag show at 7PM. Bring your ones, fives, tens and hundreds to help raise money for Ken's COBRA payments and treatment. |

Divorce lawyers
Does anyone have any good (or bad) experiences with divorce lawyers in the New Orleans area? I'm looking for a recommendation, but also names of those to stay away from. Thanks! p.s. This is not for me, seeing as I'm not married. I'm asking for someone not on LJ (so don't bother speculating, those of you who know me!). |

Vertical House Christmas Party!
'Tis the season for Christmas parties, sales, food, friends, and fun! Join Vertical House Records on December 23rd for a potluck and an awesome show with Thomas Function, Puppy Hearts, and Geof Geiss (of Pizza and Big Whup)! Food starts at 7pm and if you bring a dish, the show is FREE! The show starts at 8pm and is $3 (without a dish).
I'm excited cause Jennifer, Andy and I are playing with Geoff again. Andy plays drums, I'm on xylophone and back up vocals, and Jen on keyboard. It was really fun last time, even though I was sooooo sick and I lost my voice after we played. Hopefully this time I'll be fine and geared up to go!

iRANT - EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING HER SO WHY CAN'T WE?
What do you call a leech that feeds on leeches because that’s what I want to be? Nothing more needs to be said of the sadness inherent in the rise of reality TV personalities and celebrity worship. Whether the country as a whole is sick of it or not (A debatable point as ratings don’t lie) there is one facet of the whole affair that cannot be denied; There are not enough fifteen minutes of fame to go around. As more and more space is dedicated to people who are merely personalities instead of artists, the artists get shafted. Though I wish nothing but love for Jack White, I think it would be refreshing to see his face on the cover of US Weekly. Aren’t the lives of rock stars wild enough to warrant coverage? We know that they are, but instead the pop media coverage continues to revolve around people who, well… don’t really do anything. Enter Lindsay Lohan, who actually has done many things, but currently is just another party animal making a living out of making a mess of herself. As I basked in the afterglow from the sell-out crowd at The Black Math Experiment’s reunion show, I check out my Youtube channel. I was delighted to have had almost 50 more views than I had the day before, a personal record. But in the bar next to me was a video of Lohan’s Muse photo shoot (The one with the nipple), and that video had over 40,000 views. Now, I know that none of my videos have any nipples that anyone wants to see, but isn’t there a middle ground that the musical voice of the next generation can set up shop on? Not that I think that highly of myself, but I think you’d be hard-pressed to find any band in Houston that people wouldn’t call more talented than Lindsay Lohan. Then like the Grinch I got a wonderful, awful idea. A little hunting around and a trip through Windows Movie Maker, and suddenly Lindsay’s little noir sexcapade became a Black Math Experiment video. Low and behold, I was getting 50 hits an hour instead of a week. Eight days later, with no promotion at all, it's my highest viewed video. This, my friends, is what we need to be doing. The vapid ones who drink and wardrobe malfunction their way into the finite resource of public attention must become our slaves. They must be chained and set to work building our temples. And when the temples are completed, they must be the first sacrifice. I encourage every musician in Houston to gather your Kardashians, Pratts, Hiltons, and Reids. Set your songs to their unholy warcries, and together we will take the attention of a nation that no longer remembers that they need us. -Jef |
