I know Whitney and I present a fairly unified corporate identity on this site. But we don’t really agree on everything. Take music — she doesn’t invite me along to see bands I wouldn’t be psyched for, and there are MP3s I’d probably email to J or J or A before her.

There is one kind of music tho that I really feel has belonged to us as long as we’ve been friends. It involves heavy distortion, high pitched noises, mumbled off-rhythm vocals (usually mixed way too high to way too low), and often a drum-machine.

Example bands are The Country Teasers, early Devo, the Coachwhips, the Fall and the Butthole Surfers. These are people I only imagine wearing very dark cheaters all the time. If Whitney and I had a band our one song would be her playing a highly amped and distorted kazoo while I screamed “NOW! NOW! NOW!” until I passed out.

So when I heard Cheveu for the first time I emailed the MP3 to Whitney with lots of exclamation points in the subject. I mean, on top of making our kind of music, they’re French: the effing people of sunglasses!

The point is they’re playing in Brooklyn tomorrow night on their first American tour. So we’ll be there and here’s an MPfree…

$2 beer! Uncle Paulie’s is totally a temporary structure built out of blue canvas and two by fours and plywood on a slab of concrete next to the huge under-construction death star minaret upside-down hot-air-balloon lookin’ sewage treatment plant in Greenpoint. During the daylight, men in hard hats eat fried food here. Totally patio, but totally inside! Easy to get to but so far out nobody cares! Noise & djs till the wee hours! $2 beer!
