rivercityvibe   “Puerile, smutty, schoolboy nonsense” – My Mom

Nowhere near here, though. Despite the fan base I have built with my own hands for them in Florida. Family-ties, see?

They are in Los Angeles currently, playing the Viper Room tomorrow (@8.45 pm), then they have a couple of dates in Austin, Texas (?!), one in NY (Joes Pub in East Village), then a final LA gig before flying back to New Zealand, the legends.

Midnight Youth. Double-plus Awesome.

It promises to be seminal, in nature. The tour in which they set the US music industry on its ear. Readers in NY and LA should make a point of seeing them. I dearly hope I have no readers in Austin, but if there are a few, more information can be found on Facebook (search Midnight Youth), or if you prefer to slum-it (and we all feel that itch, occasionally), they are also on something called myspace, with which I have barely a nodding acquaintance.

Sorry the video of their debut track, The Letter, is disabled on the last post about Midnight Youth. Presumably some record label Nazi took exception.

(Seriously, for new bands, looking to break into American Markets, some kind of liberal blogger policy might be in order. I mean, for fuck’s sake, it’s the 21st Century.)

All their music, available on itunes. Go their now. You won’t regret it.

We were all shocked at how Britney Spears’ behavior over the last couple of years managed to inadvertently rehabilitate the reputation of her ex-husband K-Fed, changing public perception of him as a money-grabbing layabout of limited talent, to  “the sensible parent”, rooted and clear-headed,  with only their childrens’ best interests at heart.

It’s been a long road back for Spears. Her new tour has just launched in New Orleans and she is looking good. K-Fed, on the other hand……. well, I’ll let the pictures tell the story:

"I wish I had a penis"

K-Fed now to be known as Well-Fed

I mean, what is it with these two? Do they share a groceries budget? One gets to eat and one doesn’t, at any one time?
