I guess I couldn’t get enough local music last Wednesday, because after the Treehouse open mic I went over to Justin’s open mic at Bamboo Bernies. His photolog provides evidence that it’s not usually as dead as it was that night. I played 5 or 6 songs but broke a string during Built to Spill’s “Big Dipper.” The crowd seemed to be somewhat into the new songs I’m working on, so that was cool. I only caught sets by Justin and Keith, because I didn’t stick around for too long.
What was up with the bamboo bernies staff? There were two bartenders and they could both bring you drinks, but only one could take your money. I guess they didn’t trust the other one.
And seriously, $5 for a fishbowl? There’s so much alcohol in those I might as well pay them $5 to beat me up and throw me in a Lawnside ditch or in a dumpster behind the Pathmark. In other words, they’re not safe for weekday consumption and I stay away from them.
Update: I forgot to mention this. I accidently told the crowd that my name was bengarvey.com. I’m such a loser.

Last Wednesday I went to the Treehouse open mic and was happy to see the musicians turning out again. John Shaughnessy, Johnny Miles, and the Forest Greens all made appearances. A guy named Jeff played some interesting blues tunes, and Rob made me one of my favorite sandwiches ever. If you go in there and he’s working, you should definitely order it.
Ingredients
chicken
yellow mustard
swiss cheese
roasted red pepper
on a spinach wrap and grilled
Also at the open mic was Harice (sp?) the comedian. She made Johnny Miles sit with her on stage and arrange 5 or 6 chairs around her, which she never used. Harice told jokes like, “What did the saggy booby say to the other saggy booby?”
It was that kind of night.

Even though I got tons of traffic from google about my y100 post, I didn’t get any hate mail from y100 fans.
This guy got plenty.

If anyone was planning to go to the Interpol show tonight, it was postponed to March 27th.

You have to try this awesome flash game called Hapland. It took me forever to figure out how to beat it. The object is to get the little stickfigure guy into his home on the right so he can activate some interdimensional portal thing.

The word on the street is that y100 is changing formats. This makes sense considering Grape Street’s Tuesday Night Music Club switching to WMMR and some of the DJs moving there, too.
The last station I liked in this town was WDRE (103.9) which switched to a hip-hop station when I was in high school. It was bought by RadioOne and they just bought y100.
Originally, y100 was a replacement for the old top 40 station, Eagle 106, when they decided they could somehow make more money playing shitty elevator jazz. When WDRE changed formats, a bunch of the DJs left to work for y100 which then changed to a modern rock station.
Update: I tuned to 100.3 today and they are playing hip hop. More on this.
Update: Here’s a link for anyone who wants to bitch about the loss of y100.
Update: According to FMQB, the last song they played was Pearl Jam’s “Alive.” They should get their FCC license revoked just for that cheesey stunt.

A View to an Autokill has reached the final four! We saw an impressive number of kills for the third round in a row with 4 of 8 players biting the dust. A final four round is significant because it is potentially the last round of the game. If only two players are left standing then the game is over.
Mr Mocha leads with 12 points and no shots against, followed by Mr Khaki, Mr Indigo, and Mr Rust. Only Mr Rust has ever risked shooting himself this game and all players have taken a shot every round. Stay tuned for the exciting conclusion!
Since this game is almost over, make sure you join the next game: Shoot and Let Die

I borrowed my Dad’s minidisc player and microphone today. Guess what that means? I finally got around to recording a rough demo of two songs I’ve been playing regularly for almost two years now, plus a brand new one. Here they are.
99% – The story of a guy who gets abducted by aliens while driving down Route 206 in New Jersey.
All My Dreams are in Cartoon – My brother Jake once said that most of his dreams were in cartoon and I thought that was pretty funny. The lyrics walk around different areas like a dream, but there is some sinister (animated) stuff going on in there.
1% – The story of a guy who is put in charge of watching over a human transport ship in space while everyone else is in suspended animation.
Let me know what you think, especially about the new song (1%). I have another song in the works that I’m pretty exicted about. I’ll try to finish that up soon.

The latest game of Odd Man In has been the complete opposite of One Shot is Not Enough. Most players were surprised when A View to an Autokill went from 25 to 15 players in one round, but then tonight they went from 15 to 8, the maximum number of death without an AUTOKILL! Currently leading the pack is Mr Bronze with 12 points, but usually that means he’ll be next.
Remember to sign up for the next game, Shoot and Let Die, which will be the last of the games with bond titles.
