Uncle Jesse x The Black Keys

Apparently John Stamos is kind of a musician in real life. Am I the only person who didn’t know this? I mean – don’t get me wrong – I was completely convinced during the Full House years, but after that series John Stamos and music never collided again. Imagine my surprise when I found out that he’d be collaborating with none other than The Black Keys on their latest album.

On their newest album, John Stamos will actually be playing the drums for the band. (MULTI-TALENTED!)

“We’re working with John Stamos,” Carney of the Keys said. “He’s actually performing the drums on our album.”

Honest Words From A Musician

“We’ve definitely worked hard, but a lot of bands have worked just as hard. You just have to feel really lucky. Never feel like you’re entitled to it – because then you just sort of turn into a prick.” – The Black Keys’ drummer Patrick Carney

Time Person of the Year 2012

President Obama y’all!

This is the second time that President Barack Obama has been named Time’s Person of the year.

In a blog post, Time managing editor Richard Stengel explains that Obama was chosen because he is a cultural figure as well as a political one: “There has been much talk of the coalition of the ascendant — young people, minorities, Hispanics, college-educated women — and in winning re-election, Obama showed that these fast-growing groups are not only the future but also the present,” he writes. “If his win in 2008 was extraordinary, then 2012 is confirmation that demographic change is here to stay.”

Bow down.

From A Seattle Icon…

Boe Oddisey of the Boe Oddisey Scarf Dance and Art Company was spotted in leopard-print lingerie spreading his special kind of magic during Decibel’s sunny Do-Over at the Broadway Performance Hall Plaza last Saturday. Boe, who came to Seattle from Bremerton in 1971, gives out hugs and art and is available for private parties. He said, “Celebrate and seize the day… Exotic and/or all-age scarf dancing, comedy, abstract, acrylic painting, massage for you. Clean, sober, tobacco free, vegan option on life. Just do it. The time is now. We are here.”

The headline read “What’s Crappening?: News, Reviews, and Scarves” and that was all I needed in order to know that what would be outlined in the text below would include the infamous Scarf Man. Those close to me understand that I have a slight “inner Scarf Man” inside of me. Wait…let’s re-do that sentence. That’s definitely NOT what I”m trying to say. Scarf Man attends almost every major Seattle festival or event. He comes wearing very provocative and revealing clothing at times and is fully equipped with the most colorful scarves you’ve ever seen. There was one time when I saw him wearing a fuschia-colored puffy jacket. It was cold that day so naturally he decided to cover up a bit. Scarf Man is not a character, but he might as well be. He is that person that simply has no inhibitions about anything. He is the least self-conscious person I have ever met and even though I don’t fully understand him, I aspire to be a little bit like him. I aspire to someday reach a close level of carelessness (maybe not as high as his, but slightly higher than where I am now.) That excerpt above was from a recent Line Out post and I had to read his quote several times attempting to comprehend it.

I didn’t.

So Long Gallery Girls!

This past Monday, we all watched the finale of Bravo’s recent hit series Gallery Girls and boy, was it depressing. Maggie thought she was going to get a job, but then she didn’t and AMY came in and snatched it. Ouch. Neglected Liz wasn’t featured as much, but that was probably because she was still brooding about Maggie and Ryan not tipping the waitress and being commoner creatures. Claudia cried. Chantal didn’t really care. Kerri, once again, said absolutely nothing. I was rooting for her throughout the whole season…it was disappointing.

I never thought that I would enjoy this series, but I did. It was the biggest surprise of the summer and now that it is over – can I share with you some of my favorite quotes?

1. “I woke up, I did some yoga, I had a French press coffee, and I’m ready for work!” — Chantal, two hours late for work.

2. “Coriander is my favorite herb.” — Angela, who pronounces the H.

3. “Are you really drinking Michelob Light? You’re the love of my life!” — Drunk Amy.

4. “There are so many trees.” — Maggie, describing Florida.

5. “I need some real coffee. This tastes like Folgers.” — Chantal.

6. “I’m really inspired by moroseness … and cinema?” — Angela, describing her photography.

7. “Everyone runs and hides here because everyone’s, like, quiet little Asian people and scared.” — Liz, describing her School of Visual Arts classmates.

8. “This event is supposed to make me buzz worthy!” — Angela.

9. “I don’t trust anything from someone who calls himself the Sucklord. His name is probably Steve.” — Claudia.

10. “[Crying.] You need to get off the Adderall or something.” — Chantal, to her “business partner” Claudia.

11. “My family will definitely be excited if I get a paying job; they’ve wanted me to have that forever.” — Maggie.

12. “Your friend is a disgusting vile commoner creature.” — Liz, to Maggie.

Oh Maggie, how you slay me.

Politics + Music w/ Chris Walla

[On whether it matters that Obama is aware of pop culture and knows who Jay-Z is]: “I think it does. When the level of awareness of pop culture that the opponent has is limited to “grits y’all,” the choice is pretty clear.” – Chris Walla

Rolling Stone interviewed Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla recently to see where he stands on the issues and how he feels about Presidential candidates working with musicians and bands. It’s pretty short, but still a significant read – at least in my opinion.

Check it here yo.
