MEN is the new group formed out of the ashes of Le Tigre by your favorite mustachioed lady JD and cohort Joanna Fatemen. If you’re already rolling your eyes right now, I understand. The last few Le Tigre efforts were kind of bullshit and if you hear Decepticon at another party you’re going to punch yourself in the face. Not to worry, MEN rule. More of a production/DJ duo than a band, MEN bring back the glory of Le Tigre’s golden era and up the dance factor tenfold. Instead of sounding like over produced Go Go’s wannabes, the ladies have gotten back to their roots – simple, poppy, electro punk but with a little house thrown in. You can download their songs straight of their Myspace and catch them on tour. If you are in NYC, you can catch JD DJing her party U.N.I.T.Y with Lauren Flax every other Saturday at Huggs. It’s easily one of the best parties going right now with some massive sing-alongs guaranteed.

This is unfair feminist propaganda. If we like them they get compliments and if we hate them we say “men suck” and they still win.

The singing at huggs IS fun. Singing into a beer bottle like it is a microphone is the best too.

Monday nights at LIT, with Josh Wildman and Andrew Kuo? Its not trendy. Its a bunch of artfags and dirty kids doing blow off of Josh Hartnett’s dick with the regular appearance of Dash Snow pouring drinks. I just blew up the spot, but its the last bastion of NY and reminds us elders (me and my only two friends) of the Mars Bar, The Hole, and Cokies of when we were cool. Okay, you can crucify me now young commenters. Go nuts, I’m so old I’ll just masturbate to the fact that you even might know what I mean. HUGS vs H.U.G.G.S. : DO THE TASTE TEST.
Love,
Kuo n Wildman Fan

People are STILL talking about NY?!?!
NYC needs to get over itself. It WAS the only good thing about the USA until the 80’s when hiphop was invented and the place went to shit. I’m from the depression man. Clubs serving booze was a anomaly and social fau pas back in my prime. BUT hell I still read shit like this to stay at the top of my game. Black yourself.

I like posts which trumpet both places of my employment. Also, U.N.I.T.Y has easily restored my faith in saturday nights in new york.
