Wassup. Adapted for the year 2008.

Ever wonder what happened to the Wassup guys? Well, they changed. That’s what’s up.

Now, all you have to do is Vote for Change. Vote right now if you live here. If you don’t , please make sure you vote on November 4th. Believe me, I am being much more polite about this than I should be.

Duh…

As if you didn’t know this yesterday (yeah, I’m talking to you Matt Drudge and your nine headlines about this fakery yesterday) Ashley Todd, a McCain campaign volunteer, admitted that she made up the story of her ATM assault. Todd initially reported the incident to police saying that her “attacker”, a 6′4 black man, became enraged when after robbing Todd at knife-point, saw a McCain bumper-sticker on her car. Todd said the man then beat her, told her she was going to vote for Obama, and carved a backwards “B” into her cheek. According to FOX “News”, both McCain and Palin called Todd to offer their condolences while the Obama camp was quick to denounce the attack.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that Ashley Todd might be the most stupid person on the face of the earth. Next to Sarah Palin of course.

Wendy O does not care about wearing white after Labor Day…

Okay, I’m running behind as usual so I’ll be brief. So where was I. Hmm…oh yeah.

Get The Fuck Out!

Friday, October 24th:

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Showbox Market
The only thing that might make Ted Leo cooler is if he were actually a Pharmacist.

Trannyshack!

Trannyshack Seattle
Chop Suey
Jackie Hell, Ursula Android, Peaches Christ and more Tranny’s than you can shake your stick at. Insert your joke here…oh wait, I just did it for you.

The McInros.

The McInros
Red Line (West Seattle)
The McInros say they admire the bands namesake, John McEnroe’s attitude on the court. Which of course translates to sometimes angry, sometimes sad but really good rock ‘n’ roll.

Champagne, Champagne and Grayskul
High Dive
I love Champagne and Champagne, Champagne.

John McCain says he is older than Frankenstein and dirt. Take that, uh…nevermind.

Frankenstein Double Feature! Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein

Sunday, October 26th:

Conor Oberst, Jenny Lewis
Showbox at the Market
You don’t really need me to tell you this is one of the best bills to roll through Seattle this year. I absolutely love Jenny Lewis’ new record Acid Tongue almost as much as I love the title track of her new record. Oberst, who also performs as Bright Eyes, released a new record with a new band called the Mystic Valley Band (which includes Nate Walcott from Bright Eyes) in August. The surprisingly upbeat track “I Don’t Want To Die (In a Hospital)” has lived on my iPod ever since.

Halloween Recommendations:

At this years Freak Night, you can catch Moby doing a DJ set and The Crystal Method live. If you loved the Moby’s most recent record, Last Night, and followed the press he did in support of the record, you know that Moby really immersed himself in the hip-hop/DJ club scene. You can hear the vocal styling of Grandmaster Caz, of The Cold Crush Brothers, a band that helped touch off all things, Hip-Hop on Last Night.

Neon Nights will be at The Comet Tavern and Dudley Manlove will be at The Sunset on Halloween. WowweeWowweeWowWow. Decisions, decisions…

Zombie Prom at the King Kat Theater!

Zombie Prom with The Staxx Brothers will be, without a doubt, one of the craziest events in Seattle on Halloween. Get your tickets now and then get to the historic The King Kat Theater for a night of burlesque, booze and awesome, soul-stealing music.

Dawn Davenport will kick your ass!

The Central Cinema will be showing  John Waters 1974 movie, Female Trouble. Also, if you are so goulishly inspired, make your own 10 minute Horror film and submit it to the folks at Central Cinema and it might get shown on the big screen.

Now that should be more than enough to give you a reason to Get The Fuck Out this weekend as well as be sure your Halloween is groovy. I’ll have some more in the coming days leading up to Halloween next Friday. Be advised, there won’t be a full-on GTFO next Friday as, well, yours truly is gonna be pretty fucking busy.

Now, Get The Fuck Out…
