i could probably do MGMT's set onstage with them by now . . . .

****another bragging post alert****

Yeppers I did make it to see MGMT on wednesday . . .

MGMT were playing a secret party thingy @ the Avalon. I heard through fellow HellYa!Deejay Kelsea (who is always the one that finds out about all things secret and awesome / ala NKOTB!)

so it's the 11th hour, here are my 2 options - - which do you suppose i did?

a) not be a douche, suck it up and just go home and wonder what i am missing . . .

OR


b) be a total douche and ask for tix at the last minute. and it's super sold out. bonus.

so of course i chose B! haha.
if it was anybody other than AMANDA WALK @ COLUMBIA i wouldn't have been this stupid. so please kids reading this - - hard work does pay off - and if you stay in the biz long enough - you can make a request like this without getting your ass kicked or fired . . .
AWALK is a real friend, not just an industry hookup. I could probably call her from JAIL and she would bail me out - - - that's how much she rules. :)

this is amanda - if you see her - - give her a hug or a high five. cause she rules.



MGMT just keep getting better and better every time I've seen them. I started out as a hater - - then slowly turned - - but the 3rd show I was begging LIZ @ the Echoplex to let me DJ the MGMT/Yeasayer show. Which i did, and it was mindblowing! THANK YOU as always amanda - - how'd you like my Hell Ya! mix? (minus the tracklisting haha)

we ran into Mischa Barton outside and I walked right up to her and said 'you are really beautiful!' cause she is! (and NO MOM i'm still not a Lesbian) but thank goodness she was wearing pants, as i hear she has a case of some serious cellulite. WTF?
don't worry Mischa! it could be worse! Lucky you didn't get stuck with butterface! she's pretty much perfect, but i'm glad to know that she is flawed too! she should keep that shit under wraps! literally!

overall MGMT=awesome
HUGE props to MAUREEN KENNY is pretty amazing at her job - - she signed both MGMT and METRO STATION this past year! CONGRATS MAUREEN! It's so great to see women kicking ass in the biz. GIRL POWER!

(**sidenote - METRO STATION is now #9 on TRL!!! Damn!! Remember when I booked them to play Hell Ya! night and they played right after BECK?!?!? That was bananas. And since half of the band was 17 at the time, they didn't realize how cool that show was for them. they will always be able to say BECK opened up for THEM. HAHAHA. hellya.)

national record store day, jewish for the day, and i think i heard my mom say she's going to vote? wtf?!?!

YAY!

so not only is it my annual JBA day for me (as I'm Jewish by association!) my bf and legal eagle Leslie Frank (she also is referred to my hot lawyer, and most recently 'assistant wedding dj') always includes me in her family events - and I love it. I'm taking Evan with me today - - this will be fun. I won't be the newest JBA at the table!

so i guess today i will try to save my money unless i'm spending it on records? that sounds right . . .

i spent enough last night - - i bought 4 more pieces of vinyl (all the same 7" from ELI 'Paperboy' REED and the True Loves!) I'm such a nerdy vinyl collector. Well - - not just vinyl. I am a serious collector of Hard Rock Cafe Guitar Pins & Concert Posters.

me & kelsea had a kickass time seeing MGMT downtown then went to the OC to check ELI Paperboy REED since I missed his show thursday @ the Echo. *I missed the Echo show because I had to see Iglu & Hartly of course @ the totally 90's party (where I dressed like it was more 80's mixed with rainbow bright. haha) i wish i could dress like this every day!

:)


DUFFY is really hot. youtube video for 'Mercy'

(no mom i'm still not a lesbian)

#)$*&@#)$@^@#($&# OH Speaking of MOM - - looks like the shit is hitting the fan - - because yesterday I swear I heard my mom tell me she was going to vote this year - - - and that she was voting for either Obama or Hilary! DAMN! She is registered as a Republican, so she can't vote in this Pennsylvania Primary, but huge progress still! Both of my parents still live in PIttsburgh, PA. YOU GUYS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! keep it up!
Now i have to take my own advice and finally get off my ass and vote myself!
