Saturday Night's Alright!

At least it is according to the Washington City Paper! Peep this shit:

In what many are calling "Punkgate," a pair of unnamed music bloggers recently posted evidence allegedly proving that Britain's latest dance-punk hype the Stalinistas were nothing more than a lip-synching front. Using documents, rough audio samples, and an unnamed source they call "Acid Burn" (in reference to Angelina Jolie's Hackers character), the stalwart bloggers reported that the Stalinistas have been performing and releasing long-lost Gang of Four tunes as their own. Thank God D.C. bloggers DJ Leafblower, DCSOB, WeirdCurves, and Seeking Irony come nowhere near such muckraking buzzkill. For them, it's just about the music, man—digging Hot Hot Heat, clinging to those crushes on Oasis and Buffalo Tom, and linking readers to corporate giveaways. (OK, so sometimes it's about the industry.) Tonight, said bloggers will turn off their PowerBooks and instead spin DJ sets. To judge from their e-diary entries, expect lots of authentic dance punk, projected photos of cats, Sin City raves, an iPod shuffle or two, and, because they're indie like that, fliers and crap. The spin starts at 9:30 p.m. on the Black Cat's Backstage, 1811 14th St. NW. Free.

Anonymous shout outs to Mr. Pink are so effing best. Cheers Jason.

And since I already know your next question, here is the schedule for Saturday night along with some of the other press we've garnered this week. I'm on from 11 PM until midnight. Expect lots of Mylo, some Echo & The Bunnymen and some Postal Service among others. I also have a super secret surprise 12 inch that will either have everyone going nuts or completely clear the dancefloor.

As if my head wasn't big enough right now, be sure to check out the mighty DCeiver's Cockblocking The Bloc Party (A Play In Three Acts) in which yours truly warrants a speaking role! So sweet. For the record I want Liev Schrieber to play me in the big screen movie version with David Fincher directing. I will of course be overseeing the soundtrack. Robvs.

Anyone else catch the Fandemoneum at Fenway last night? I thought it was pretty innocent but The Dirt Dogs disagree.

See you Saturday!
