Members of Seattle’s The Staxx Brothers, hard at work on their new record. Knowledge is POWER yo…

My favorite West Coast Soul Strutters, The Staxx Brothers (and sisters, represent!) are currently in the studio with Scott Colburn (think Mudhoney, Arcade Fire and Animal Collective) working on their new record, due out on May 8th. You can catch TSB at Nectar Lounge tomorrow night opening for N.A.S.A.. N.A.S.A. is out supporting their 2009 album, Spirit of Apollo. Apollo features collab’s with everyone from Tom Wait’s to Chuck D.. Both bands will then head to Austin to play at SXSW.

Lemmy, 49% motherfucker, 51% son of a bitch. Not an alcoholic…

An uplifting Journal called Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research concluded that drinkers who frequent establishments WHERE YOU HAVE TO SHOUT TO TALK, drank more than their boring wine bar counterparts. One of the key researchers, Nicolas Gueguen PhD of France, reinforced the findings saying that if the music is too loud, you can’t carry on a conversation so you drink more.

In other news, I am happy to report that one of the reasons I drink is because I love loud music. Not because I’m a rummy. Take that Vodka/Tequilla/Makers (rocks)/Rum (no Captain’s thank you)/Beer/Champy (but only when I completely loaded at a party and there’s nothing else to drink at 3:00 am)! You’re not the boss of me…
