The Culture City Live Review

The Long Blondes
with Drug Rub & Millions of Brazillians
May 23, 2008
Magic Stick

It was Friday night in the big city on the Day before the Movement festival get underway and all eyes are on Detroit for Stanley cup Finals and on the night before the Start of Movement there was a lot pre warm up gig for movement.

But all of the Detroit music scene was at Pontiac at big gig to help out a friend of the scene, but some how somebody did forget there was a gig tonight at the Magic Stick and it was a good show for those of us who brave all the pre movement crowds travel to point B is now $4.00 a gallon.

the main Act Sheffield lovable five piece indie band The Long Blondes put on a pretty good act they look were pretty up on stage as they play selection from there brand new album "Couples" and a lot of well know song from there 2006 Debut "Someone to Drive You Home".

the band played a really good set, as they was rocking to the small crowd [most of them fans like me], Kate Jackson look very dress down sporting her tough girl look while the two other female member Reenie Hollis and Emma Chaplin look very pretty as well last night.

most of the song i remember was from the 1st CD like "Weekend without Make-Up", "Separated By Motorways", "Lust in the Movies","Giddy Stratospheres" and "Once And Never Aging" and the new song like "Century", I Like the boys and "I'm Going to hell".

before they played the title track from "Couples" Called 'The Couples lead guitar Dorian Cox was telling the story of the last time the band played Detroit where he when to people records which was locale at Forest Arms Apartments near Wayne State U., which burn down in a infno back in February[FYI - it now relocate near Downtown on Woodward at Peterboro]and was happy to shop at a cool viney record store and was sad to learn when it was burn down, i thought it was nice to him to remember people at the Forester Arms.

And for once i finally to see the Boston base blues-rock Group "Drug Rug", although they told me after the show were not felling it after the show because of only five people in front of the stage, they played a short 1/2 a hour set of tracks off there debut CD which was good engouth to be on Last year Culture City Festive 50 Countdown.

they was really fun to watch live, i really like the happy goes lucky guitars playing of Sarah Cronin and great matching vocals of his boyfriend Apollo Sunshine [A.K.A. Tommy Allen] there was really great to see live and not only that they was real nice too talk too which was fun to see.

And Might i recommend the self-title CD it worth a listen.

But there was a local openers, Brand New band "Millions of Brazillians" this is the
1st time i saw them and thought there was O.K., nothing special it was three guys playing what motorcityrocks.com called "a form of assertive, guitar-driving rock with equal parts Fugazi, Prince, Johnny Greenwood and Bloc Party, incorporating infectious harmonies that maintain their retro appeal while staying brilliantly modern"

I have to see them a few more time and listen to there stuff on there myspace page to get a real good fell of there, but OK is better than so-so.

There Four gig you like to know

I know the last post was long with all the upcoming gig coming to detroit
but i decied to take a look at four gigs that is coming up to keep on the look out

The Raconteurs

The Frist gig that coming up shock the most hard core after thinking he would never do a show in the Detroit area aging after he move out of the area, but this was a shocker, playing at the Fillmore Detroit on June 7th and 8th, The Raconteurs will make it 1st ever gig to the detroit metro area.

it will also the First Detroit gig for any band that is fronted by Jack White since 2005 where he and meg play the masonic temple theater with the white stirpes, but since jack left Detroit he have not play Detroit metro area.

The White stirpes did not played in Detroit during there last tour and stop touring after meg acute anxiety problems during there "Icky Thump", and his other band "The Raconteurs" did played a show in 2006 at the michigan Theater in Ann Arbor

So have Jack and Company ease up on the detroit music fans after his bitter break away from the detroit music scene and will the music fans in the city forgive jack.
will see.

There 1st show on June 7th is already sold out, but there is tickets for is second show it will cost $32.50.

Recap of the Dancing finalie

well it now Tuesday Morning and i was so tired after spending 8 hours last night on my Home PC i coun'nt do a post last night and not only that "The Boss Martines was playing at the Belmont last night so i went down to see it.

so i am doing a little wrap at the library because i want to listen to audio be my PC is still missing a sound card, so if there any help out i would love to hear it.

Now on to dancing with the stars former Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi won the season six champ last night as she wrap up the show three great dances that earn her perfic score of 30 from the three judges.

he for any view who saw week one Kristy was on her game week in and week out and not only that begin ex-champ skater help a lot, she won the Judges, Crowd in the Dance floor and viewers as well.

So it was the right called to be 1st female champ since Soap Star Kelly Manico won Season one in 2005.

Pro Foot player Jason Taylor was Finish a close Second despite show view that big Football play can really know ho to dance as his last dance score a perfit 30 as well and the night before were he and his partenr burn up the dance floor with a steam freestyle number

and let not forget the third place finish Cristian de la Fuente who tough it out after injure his arm about a month ago during the show, but instead of dropping out do to injury he tough it out with only one arm so man up on the effort.

now with a network finale lasting two hours you know you get a lot of filler including a lot of dance from this year cast from Shannon Elizabeth, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Mario, Penn from Penn and teller and Steve Gunterbugh if only the members of the "Stonecutter" have not called in he would be in the final, and remember the "Stonecutter" made him a star.

but i thought a fun moment was they present the winner of junior Dance champ they did on the result show this season and one the junior was ask who be you celeaberd dancer s if he dance on the show and his answer was the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, which was a funny answer, so the Couple won it last night well guest who present it, you guest it Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

so that it for "Dancing with the stars" for this season and the reason i did the Finale of DWTS is i start a twitter site so i could do live blogging event i did it for about two days just as a test you can read the Full post at the Culture city news twitter site at www.twitter.com/culturecitynews.

and the stars of the night and a overwhening Fave to with the whole thing is Figure-skating champ Kristi Yamaguchi she step it up big time with her freestyle dance with a big time old school hip hop number and not only that she clean the broad with a prefit score of 30.

now it only the viewers agree with the judges she is going to win this thing hands down and not only that she have the hockey fans support, remember she is married to a ex - hockey player.

Big time surprise was who finish 2nd it was Cristian de la Fuente who did OK, but because of the bad Arm [which was injured a two weeks ago, and will have surgery on Friday]couldn't do any heavy lifting what every and the dance was OK

and finish close behind was Jason Taylor he did a very good dance with a Miami stely setting and not only that have a really good football body.

I'm Back



Well Good day to you all
welcome back to the blog site for the 1st time [regular]since December 31st

that is all a way back since New Year Eve

it's is great to be back doing the blog is all so long
i know it have been a long time since the last post [oh there was a lot of filler post in between 12/31/07 and 5/19/08]

but i am back to uphold the job of a indie Detroit in time of a big time scandal
[thank god i don't own a text phone]

For those of you are wondering what happened
i was in the middle of doning the grand countdown of the best music of 2007 the Culture City Festive 50 and then all of a sudden the computer i used for this blogsite began acting up and worst slowing down the PC

it took me about almost four months fingering out what the problem until i really that the PC was stuck down by spyware and malware so in a effoet to ruin the computer, because it was acting like something you would see in the Will Smith "I Am Legion" film, i decide not to post anything on this blog sight for almost 17 weeks form the middle of the hockey season to the Doorstep of Game one of the Stanly cup finals [prosuming the Red Wings beat the stars tonight[5/18].

but after the long time off i decide to take my sick PC to a friend of mine name August about three weeks ago and he and his roommate Mellow wipe the hard drive clean and reinstall Window XP and i got my PC back about two weeks ago i finally got my PC back a couple of trade off, here and there and the worst part off all no audio, ouch.

and after almost two weeks and a brief delay [my 1st post was going to be last week, but i was so busy with stuff outside the PC] the computer is working fine and it OK to say it time to go back in the Field to cover the indie regular TV would not dare to touch.

now before i mention what am going to do in the Next few days and a couple of week as i get on track. i would like to thanks to August and Mellow for taking good care of the PC during the week they had it and not only that all of you who read the blogsite and who have miss it during this very long break and now i hoped you read this sight aging now that i have enter the on ramp on my side of the info superhighway.

now all the regular feather you saw out the last two years will come out slowly but surely, there will be a Film guide Friday, this Friday that post will be the best movie that came out over the 1st four and a half months and the next week will be the regular Film Guide.

the weekly Gig Guide will return, but it will be spilt into two one for the indoor Gig Guide [TV, online radio, and Satellite radio] and the Outdoor Gig Guide to see who is playing every week in our fair city.

New Music Tuesday will be back with a extra long "New Music Tuesday with the 1st four and a half months.

and the weekly look up on what is play on the that only show that matters to you indie fans, it will be back the week after Memorial Day which will be in two weeks.

and after that update news and gig news to boot as i get back too normally after a long lay-off.

also there is a lot of great video show on the net that blogger can embed on the site so i would do more of that.

and there will be some live blogging with a special event instead of using this sight i will be using twitter.com, yes this sight have started a twitter micro blog so i can do some live blogging as it happened and you in luck because tomorrow is the last dance-off on "Dancing with the stars" as the last of the three couple battle for the Cheesy mirror ball trophy.

But if you are not near by a TV, can get update on the Culture City Twitter site for this and all other live blogging event at this address:


www.twitter.com/Culturecitynews

and one more thing before i go, and in my two years of doing this blog sight i have been ask this than more other, Steve i have been to you sight but the site is so slow in loading and it take a long time.

OK, when i do my sight at home it run well on my computer OK, but there is two factor in a computer one is speed of your Internet provider and the age of computer if you have good Internet speed and a PC or laptop you good, if you have a good speed for you IP on a older PC it may work well, but if your PC is old or the IP run real slow it won't at all.

and one thing i will admit because i do this a lot put a lot of video off of you tube and other site with a embedded code and i know it can slow down a PC, the Aricved on this post goes back the last 15 post so deepening on how many post i put it can go far back to four day or about a week, but i can set the post on blogger.com so i may experiment, maybe 10 post or 5 post but i want every body to read the site if you miss any thing.

So that is what is going on with this site
but the over all i am back doing what i love doing best
giving the most important stuff that matters.
