LARRY TEE LOVES DJ BARLETTA

As everyone should!
It's hard not to see Barletta popping up everywhere these days online. He's one of the most prolific up and comers on the blog scene. I was fortunate enough to catch his first (!) Dj set at Remix This (hosted by the tirelessly awesome Matt Medley)...and we promptly invited him to spin with Gangbangaz @ Supermarket for his second throwdown on the decks. It sucks that we all missed DJ Assault @ Circa, but we were busy making our own little history...

Barletta's remixes have obviously been getting to some good ears, cause none other than Larry Tee contacted our crew to express respect for the talented Barletta. Barletta and I chatted after his (bangin!) set, and he told me his goal when reworking a track is to take it to a whole other level..he is not afraid to fuck with it..and I greatly admire that in a remixer.

ALL THE BARENAKED LADIES STANDING IN THE LINE FOR THE BAATHROOM!

From Canoe:

TORONTO - Barenaked Ladies frontman Steven Page, known for his clean-cut image and goofy stage antics, has been charged in New York state with possession of cocaine.

Police said Tuesday that the bespectacled singer, responsible for such pop hits as "If I Had a $1,000,000" and "Be My Yoko Ono," was charged last Friday with criminal possession of a controlled substance after cocaine and marijuana were found in an apartment in Fayetteville, N.Y.

Capt. Bill Bleyle of the nearby town of Manlius said the 38-year-old Page was released Friday upon paying $10,000 bail on the felony charge.

Bleyle said the arrest occurred at about 2 a.m. Friday after patrolling police noticed a suspicious car with its driver's side door left open and found a man and woman in a nearby apartment with a white capsule in front of them. Bleyle said the pair were later found to be in possession of cocaine.

"In the process of making the arrest, the girl he (Page) was with identified him as the lead singer for the group," Bleyle said from Manlius, just outside Syracuse.

"He subsequently said, 'Yes, I play the guitar and sing."'

Stephanie Ford, 25, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, as well as unlawful possession of marijuana. A second woman, Christine Benedicto, 27, was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Bleyle said Page posted the $5,000 bail for Ford.

Page's manager, Terry McBride, said from Vancouver that he wouldn't discuss the matter but was confident the popular frontman would be cleared.

"We cannot comment because the matter is before the courts but we are confident that our client Steven will be completely exonerated," McBride said.

"Until that time it's business as usual for the Barenaked Ladies."

Page is to return to Fayetteville court Thursday.

Jesus, who'd have thunk it! What it does prove is that doing coke does not always lead to composing bangers...

From the Manufacturer:
The woman traveler stops by the security checkpoint. After placing her luggage on the screening machine, the airport employee checks her baggage. The traveler hands her spare change and watch to the security guard and proceeds through the metal detector. With no time to spare, she picks up her luggage and hurries to board her flight!

We're talking hours of fun for the kids!!! Plus the user comments are...sadly chock o' block full of unintentional humor.

TERRY POISON

Usually I get annoyed by cute voiced smart named chicks that rap like they don't give a shit and bands that list a bunch of high fashion cities as their location. In this case, I however, I must beg to differ.

Meet Terry PoisonFour sexy gals with enough balls to list the names of their stylists (cool!)..hailing from Oslo, Paris and Tel Aviv. I first heard the remix for their track "24 Hours To Go" I'm posting below, but when you peep their myspace page, you find some really developed melodies and some pretty tight arrangements, all in covered in a satisfying sugary layer of dirty sparkly production.

I am an incurable Euroslut, so...two thumbs up! If you like Peaches, Yelle, Lady Tigra, Le Tigre, hot girls dancing around in AA boycut briefs...well, get with Terry Poison!
