CLUBBING
Figure 1: Ugh…

The clubbing experience is, at its core, a very depressing one. When you arrive at a club you will be presented with an unfathomably vast cornucopia of bullshit that will assail your senses like crashing surf for upwards of four hours. So let’s go together, you and I, on an item by item safari through this social horn of plenty, starting with…

• The Guest List: To get into a lot of good clubs (at least in DC) you have to be on one of these goddamn lists, and this is the stupidest fucking concept ever because in DC it’s not even hard to get on the list. To get on the stupid goddamn list you either have to a.) know a promoter (or someone who knows them), or b.) print out one of those ridiculous flyers on the club’s website. This sucks for everyone because a.) promoters are usually idiots who simply put the names of their equally idiotic friends on the list, and b.) why the fuck do I need a stupid fucking flyer? If I ever open a club, the ‘door policy’ will consist of me letting in 10 hot chicks for every 1 dude who passes a ‘Dipshit Test’ (which 90% of men will fail MISERABLY). It will also consist of my biggest and strongest bouncer bludgeoning people I deem to be…

Corporate Douchebags: This is the jackass that just graduated from college, has a bullshit job, makes $60,000 per year, and thinks he’s King Kong because he just pulled up to the club in a brand new 3-Series BMW…

Trust me, the song goes good with this blog post.

Just read it…now you know why I miss Toronto [and hate D.C.] Btw, if you’re wondering, that’s a post written by a member of the shabooty dynasty.

Bush Booed At 2008 Washington Nationals MLB Home Opener

Bush met with loud boos in Washington DC. *link updated*

Nothing like breaking in the new Nationals stadium and the Nats’ home opener with the president and his accompanying boo-birds. There should be a study on the ceremonial first pitch, and pitch location, because I think you can correlate throwing the high-heat to being an asshole.

Artie Lange on CNBC’s “The Big Idea” with Donny Deutsch 03-27-08

Artie Lange On CNBC

Donny Deutsch is a big Howard Stern fan and had Artie on his show. Even though he was trying to give Artie good advice, Donny came across a little “Deushey,” if you ask me. And come on, making Artie do a blind-folded taste test for his cupcake, give the man a little more respect, no?

BATMAN vs. PREDATOR vs. ALIEN vs. JOKER Video

BATMAN vs. PREDATOR vs. ALIEN vs.JOKER in a short film.

Howard Stern mentioned this on his show on Wednesday. Apparently this is a fan-made movie short depicting Batman and Joker and Alien and Predator in a free for all. Apparently this was an independent effort, funded by the “fan” filmmaker, and basically put on youtube, since the creator(s) obvs don’t have the rights to the DC Comic , FOX characters. It’s basically very impressive work, and very professionally done. Much Props.

SHABOOTY’S MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Artist: Cage
Title: Depart From Me
Label: Def Jux
Target  Release Date: Spring 2008 [Summer 2008 is more likely]
Cover Artwork By: Alex Pardee [the above A-Pardee piece -isn't the cover]
Production: Daryl Palumbo, F. Sean Martin, [and in all, El-Probability]
Quoting Cage: Cage has told me that the album is coming along, and that it’s pretty different.

What…it’s been over 2+ years? (Sept 2005), since Cage’s last album (Hell’s Winter)? That was a long time ago. Since that time, the things that have happened in my life are countless: my 2G (2nd generation) iPod (which contained the said last cage album) died, I got a condo, stopped dating the broad of that time, interviewed countless artists, traveled to and fro’ [Vancouver to Toronto], went from zoom kobe 1’s to zoom kobe 2’s and am due for zoom kobe 3s, pimped da blog, n just outright doing my thing. What a departure from ME!!!

Anyways, any time this kind of time lapses between albums, I think it is fair to say, the quality will come correct. El-P and Amechi are doing something right over at Definitive Jux (DJX), because seems like whatever they sign off on, is a success on one level or another. Then again, what’s the overhead on saying, Hey Alaska, guess what? “You’re driving the tour-bus tonight, and hey, we’re all going to share the money from the door.” [I am assuming the artists get a piece of the door].

In the blogging world, such success stories are detailed here, but to use some phrasing out of context, see numbers and statements like: “The company does not appear to be staff-heavy, so it is imaginable that the margins on the business are 50%.  Would the business be worth 15x revenue or 30x operating profits? Could be.” Or, “Business should do at least $12 million and have a high margin, estimated at 60%. At a 12x multiple.” And, “The site is as much a personality cult as it is a destination. But, it probably runs with margins over 50%. That would put operating profit at $11 million. Founder is central to business. CPMs are low. Give it 8x operating profits.” To give you a clue, the latter statement is about PerezHilton.com. The point being, whether or not DEFJUX is the “Gawker” or “PerezHilton” of the indie record industry, it is definitively highly successful.

To further evidence this, I can think back to say… three days. Three days ago would be a Sunday. An Easter Holiday Sunday, and we have a DJX artist’s [Del The Funkee Homosapian] concert in Washington D.C. @ the 9:30 club*. To the point –and what do you see on a Sunday Holiday concert? A packed house was what I saw**. Them boys [@DJX] have a head of steam and momentum, and aren’t going to slow down. I think I am going to invite myself over to El-P’s Brooklyn studio and help myself to some of steamed lettucehead***, because well, I just wanted to make that play on words.

So, you have repeated successes, and the likes of Cage’s new album forthcoming; throw in the support of Daryl Palumbo and his Head Automatica/GlassJAw fanboys and girls, and it’s a wrap.
* P.s. the management at 930club are the biggest douchbags I’ve ever encountered.
** P.p.s. yes, D.C. does have a lot of degenerates, but I think they all work at 930club.
*** Head-of-steamed-lettuce-momentum-play-on-words.

In closing, I would just like to say that Tracy Morgan says, “my dick is shaped like the Darth Vader helmet.”
