New Orleans has been dealt yet another blow this past week with Hurricane Gustav's visit to the Gulf Coast, but one of the best ways to help the city heal has always been contributing to its musicians. One of the most unique acts in the city, the New Orleans Bingo! Show, is visiting New York for three shows at Spiegelworld this week, and I can't think of a better setting to see this vaudeville/cabaret/carnival/lounge/performance art act. If you love old jazz, burlesque, theater, and of course,...

  VS. HBO's True Blood airs this Sunday, and if you are into vampires, get ready for alot of uber violent shenanigans and sexual tension between the main characters played by Anna Paquin and Stepen Moyer. I saw the first two episodes and did not fall immediately in love, but its fun and I think I need to watch a few more episodes to get the full effect. The story is based on a book by Charlaine Harris, 'Southern Vampire,' and takes place in New...

I just love John Stewart, and this is a great clip about the republican's hypocrisy. ...

I am kind of upset I didn't come up with some of those jokes. 'Turn your yeast infection into a jewel collection', that so could have been me that made that joke! I did give myself a good chuckle last night though. I went to the junk boat show I blogged about yesterday (my camera died but I will take some pictures of it soon, it will be docked all week and then it moves to Deitch) and someone asked me where my man...

So I gutted it out through the 2 hour premiere of 90210: the new season last night. Truly gut-wrenching, and not in a good way. I so fondly remember sneaking (yes, sneaking) to watch the original series, as everyone who's above the age of 18 does. So i promised myself that even if the new one sucked, i would watch it anyway. Holy vast disappointment! First of all, that Naomi chick drove me completely bonkers! What is with her? I can't put my finger on...

Chuck Bass just gets more foxy with each and every episode. Also loving the Nate and Mrs. Robinson storyline, since I have not seen Madchen since the Twin Peaks days. ...

VH1 TV Shows Music Videos Celebrity Photos News & Gossip I'm so excited for all the fall shows to start, and have seen the pilot for the Cho Show on VH-1, it is hilarious! I love Margaret, and can't wait to get into the rest of it. Check the trailer above. Oh and of course we'll have an interview w Ms. Cho in the next issue, natch. ...

  My band 3Pac$ is playing tonight at Bodega. Which is one of my new fav spots to cut a rug for various reasons, one being it is around the corner from my house. If you are in New York and you like to shake your ass you should totally hit this up. Check the pictures from the first Nasty Jam. Shit gets crazy, limbo on the dance floor crazy. We are playing with frequent BUST DJ, the booty bass master DJ Dirty Finger. THE NASTY JAM...
