Thursday, March 14, 2008. The Boy Bathing. photo by foto47.
The Boy Bathing headlined the first day of the party (The DLAY day), which also included Goldcure (show post to come), Language Room, The Will Evans Project, and Dertybird in support. For me specifically, this is a very memorable gig, as I ended up meeting a lasting, close friend that day. The recording came out of it really well also, with 7 great tracks altogether. Some of them from the new record, which I believe is still a twinkle in David Hurwitz's mind's eye.

Manhattan. The last place music goes before it goes off.
Don't get excited. Close that other tab. There will be no need to go to insound.com right after this. Just relax. Most of the stuff I write about here will be safe and sound, away from the cutting edge. The frightful edge. I am going to write about music, in Manhattan. By the time it gets to me here, you can rest assured that the band responsible will already have toured your borough, perhaps on a multi-borough tour. They'll be big local stars in the Red Hook used-car warehouse district by now. I am sure banana vs lucmo has a 2 pager in the archives, images exclusive for 3 weeks. Their mp3's are abundant, in need of thinning-out. Even the amateur iso-hunter should have no trouble bagging a few. About this blog: nepotism, favoritism, narcissism, all the tools required to do something this self-indulgent.

Disclaimer
I might occasionally post some content from naughty sources. As very few people read this blog, I can theoretically get away with almost anything. Most of the time I DO get permission from the copyright holders of all of these MP3s, but just to avoid conflict, I will remove anything that anyone doesn't like. Although I hate the term, Sitcom Serf is an "MP3 blog" and as such exists solely to promote the artists on its pages. If for any reason there is an issue with posted content, please email hater@sitcomserf.com and the content will be removed from the site.
I used to do album reviews for a different blog, one that promised to review everything. What a soul-killing promise to make. An eternal deadline hangs over you and makes you despise records you would otherwise not mind. We have a different policy: I will not review anything unless I like it - that is A MUST. Negative reviews just bring the whole world down. So email us for the mailing address, and include some mp3's or a link to some for us to preview (myspace is fine). Then I will send you the address if one of our reviewers likes it (right now there are only two). If you send in a record, and we don't review it for some reason, I will mail it to a blog that guarantees to review everything on your behalf.

If you want to be a reviewer of records (out of goodness or for free booty), send a couple of examples of your writing. Be funny. Be smart. Be knowledgeable.
