There is a sudden storm of record release parties approaching along with the NYC DJs flooding the Future Classic roster in the next few weeks. This Friday at Revolution Rock Bar, LCD Soundsystem's latest album will be available while DJ Frank White spins.

Everyones heard of the rigged Diebold voting machines and the scandal surrounding them. It's LESS known there are some alternative voting machine making companies like AutoMARK. Recently, Massachusetts AutoMARK to tally the votes in the state. A lucrative 9 million dollar contract, law makers research and approve such spending. Not to mention here in Boston and the rest of the state, we want our votes to COUNT.
As it turns out, this didn't make AutoMARK's competitor or the corrupt and Bush loving company Diebold all too happy. Now they are demanding the decision be overturned. Demanding? What even gives them the right to do that?
Damn kids, April is workin' up to be a wicked fackin' pissah! No joke though, we've still got, what, over a week of March left, but Revolution Rock Bar to the rescue with their Future Classic Fridays. DJ Cat with her pussy-esque parties followed by Oxy Cottontail and... well... the obvious colorful pills alone make me wanna cream myself:
One parking ticket is one parking ticket too many, especially in Boston where parking is at a premium. Add in the demented form of "thought" my stoned hippie DMB loving neighbors are capable of, and sometimes you get this:
I missed the release party for the new Hearthrob DVD mix... back in February I think. I'm not sure "mix" is the proper name for this near seizure inducing collection of visuals and blood pumping beats, though. Don't take the tone there wrong, this "volume 1" mash pleasantly exceeded my expectations of the Hearthrob guys. Sensitive Hand, Redfoxx, Baltimoroder, and Morgan Louis all put toge-- actually fuck it. I managed to find a shitty copy on planet Google, so formulate your own opinions:
Wasn't that a fun 49 minutes and 5 seconds? They killed the Roxy when we had them for the Masquerade Ball and Fashion Show by 280 Studios. Not the normal scene for the Roxy, but we wanted them!
Every now and again in this industry, you actually do manage to stumble across a fairly talented photographer. Not the average "I like taking pictures, I'm a photographer," photographer. Someone whose actually got a decent eye for "nightlife" style pictures. Mike Howard has been doing a great job, so far covering the Masquerade Ball and Fashion Sbow plus the ?uestlove's Dj set at Underbar. These are two of my favorites:
I'll be honest, you probably missed an amazing night at The Roxy on March 1st. Clearly I'm behind with this one... but "Future Classic's Masquerade Ball and Fashion Show," featuring 280 Studios, Karmaloop, New Balance, the Hearthrob DJs, and Stingray Body Art (props sponsors), was killer. Again though, you probably missed out. Most real talent doesn't get the credit it deserves... and even with a few hundred attendants the 280 Studios collection didn't get close to what it demands. We are talking well over 300 of Boston's most hip and fashionable young adults. Next time I'm collecting tickets for these guys though I expect my hands to reek from the stench of dirty crushed up money you dug out from under your ex's futon... because that is what these cats deserve.
280 Studios gave me a visual orgasm while my fresh New Balance kicks left me looking for a post sex jog instead of a cigarette. Yeah, and I fucking love cigarettes. So for those of you sad fools who were stoned at home thinking, "huh, where was I supp-- ooh chips," I've got the next best thing for you. Check out our hottest new photo gallery at Future Classic:
Throwed Dance Party definitely threw it down at Harpers Ferry, when Andrew WK’s crowed surfing sparked a wave of surfers to try their own luck. To bad those nasty sharks we call “bouncers” chewed them up and spit them out on the sidewalk. Sorry kids, with the zero re-admittance policy once I walked outside for a butt there wasn’t much getting back for me neither!
