I may be doing more of these "quick" snippets, usually in three's. Nothing fancy, just news and notes:

Annuals - Sore

Item #1: Hey, I'll be attending Annuals' live show tomorrow (June 13^th) at the Varsity Theater. I think it's all ages, which means the show will start pretty early (5-6pm). Look for me if you're going to this show also.

Check out their other dates, you can sign up at Canvasback Music for a chance to attend the concert of your choice, runner up receive a free Wet Zoo EP. In addition, if you're in the Minneapolis area, the grand winner will also receive a pair of tickets to the Underwater Adventures Aquarium (I think it's in the Mall of America).

It doesn't cost anything to enter in the contest, so you might as well enter. The worst you can do is not win.

I will write a little more about the Annuals on my concert review, so that's scheduled for Saturday morning.

PS, I just entered into their contest.

Prototypes - Je Ne Te Connais Pas 14 comments

Item #2: Remember Prototypes? You guys love them. It looks like their song "L'Amour, L'Amour, L'Amour", from their third album, Synthetique (out on Minty Fresh), have been recently used in various commercials (iPod and Mitsubishi) and television shows (The L Word).

I got the chance to listen to the said song and it's very cute. Obviously, I still cannot speak French, but it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of complicated lyrics here... but still, there is something about the French accent that gets me everytime.

My question is, why weren't they on Eurovision 2008?

Prince Fatty - Gin & Juice

Item #3: I got this press release about Prince Fatty. I am only mentioning this because I laughed at just his name, as well as his album Survival Of The Fattest.

I listened to the MP3 that sometime comes with these things and it wasn't what I was expecting: it's reggae! Very interesting, I've decided to include the song here as well as mention his two dates he'll be playing:

July 16 Los Angeles The Dub Club
July 18 New York Hudson Terrace

(His myspace list more dates)

After doing more reading, it becomes clear to me that 'fat' might be in reference to pot (smoke a fatty) because the fatty himself, Mike Pelanconi, is a skinny white dude.

Mike and Fatboy Slim should have a duel. That's right, Survival Of The Fattest.
