Saw you in a mag

KttD IX

I attended my first Karaoke to the Death event this past Sunday night at Old Town's Rocket Grill. This grassroots event has a long (9 year) history and is basically a battle of bad karaoke "artists." The gist is this: If you can't sing, that's good. If you can sing, pick a song completely out of your range and give it a go. Whoever inflicts the most pain wins. Simple really.

In honor of said event, I went looking for a karaoke themed YouTube clip for this week. What I found wasn't what I was looking for, if that makes any sense, but it features Spoon's Britt Daniel singing Wire’s “1 2 X U,” backed by the Punk Rock/Heavy Metal Karaoke Band. Enjoy.

    I'm wagging my virtual finger at Jimbromski. At least Sacklunch can claim he's been making chocolate. Seems that Jimbromski has been spending A LOT of time walking in the park.

  4. Is that what they do at Rocket Grill on Sunday nights?

    The Obama field office I worked in last year was right next door, and Sunday nights were always... err... interesting. It literally sounded like people were dying horrible deaths inside that place.

  5. I can't say for sure what goes down every Sunday night, but this is what happens every President's Day Eve.

    I guess you were too busy getting someone elected to go and check it out... Nice excuse.
