Our favorite punk band is coming back to town. Mika Miko. They'll be playing at my worldwide unknown dance club called No Kontrol @ The Whistle Stop. Kill Me Tomorrow are going to share the stage as well. Andrew Miller and I are going to lull your dancing shoes to sleep. Start saving your shekels cuz it costs 5, count 'em, FIVE dollars.
Here's a Mika Miko video for their fucking Business Cats song. From 2007, man.
Me and Sir Charles playing records ranging from DC punk to Detroit soul, z90 ignorance to obscure underground snootiness. Think Tiger Beat meets Maximum Rock & Roll.

FRIDAY
You know what? Take it easy. Relax with a loved one. Should be FREEZING this weekend so snuggle up with your old man/lady or pal and just take it easy. There's nothing out there people believe this. Fridays BLOW.
SATURDAY
Oh dear. Two options. Do both or don't.
Ikah & Dimitri (Booty Bassment) have started a new party at Beauty Bar. It's called Shake Appeal. It's nuts It's also 5 dollars. 21+
And over there in Hillcrest is a big ol' goddamn house party. The ladies of The Slaughter House are having a winter wonderland kegger. The Sess, The Muslims and Jeremy Jay are all playing LIVE and shit. Myself, Sir Charles, Brandon Welchez and Jeff Graves are djing the following dance party. This should be a monster. There will be a fee of 5 bucks for the keg, rentals and bands. But it's worth it cheap skate. Find The Slaughter House.
SUNDAY
The Lord's Day, show some respect. Oh! And then after you do that go to the Whistle Stop for Dan Wise's Night Of The Cookers. Listen to jazz and tell Dan your problems. Free. 21+
And evidently Joe Strummer's past is BORING. Fuck me, man. Snooze ALERT. The Future Is Unwritten is so fucking boring I fell asleep during the "good" part. The Clash portion. I almost want everyone to see it so that I can get a little feedback.
Man oh man the preview made it look good. And directed by Julien Temple?? What the hell happened? I'll tell you what happened. Joe Strummer was a boring ass son of a gun that had an incredible voice and even more incredible lyrics.
Let me break down some notables.
Johnny Depp (??) interviewed in full pirate's regalia. Why Johnny Depp? And why in pirate's garb? You're really going to force me to watch those double chin braids dangle while trying to get a lil' info on The Clash?
Steve Buscemi, Anthony Kiedis, Martin Scorcese interviewed? Why? Fuck it, let's trot out Bill Cosby, Duane "Dog" Chapman and Paula Poundstone for their take on the dude.
Listen to me. STOP interviewing Bono for these films. PLEASE. I've had enough. Do you know he said the exact same thing in the Morrissey doc that he said in the New Order doc? How lame is that? He called both Ian Curtis and Morrissey "an orginal of the species". Fuck you Bono Vox.
Ok, biggest notable. No Paul Simenon. Says a lot if you ask me.
Here's your trailer, but don't be fooled, the trailer rules. The movie SUCKS.
For better examples of Julien Temple's good work see The Great Rock & Roll Swindle, The Filth And The Fury, The Babyshambles "Blinding" video, and the "God Save The Queen" promo video.
