SOMETHING TO LINK ABOUT
AND A PLUG FOR A SHOW
First of all, thanks to everyone who's been writing to The Tony Danza Show on my behalf. Please keep those e-mails coming (see yesterday's entry if you aren't hip).
Now here's some fun links:
* Eric Drysdale sent me this link to this trailer. Absolutely f'ing hilarious.
* If you're like me, you think the old Max Fleischer Popeye cartoons are genuine works of art. Catch a bunch of classic Popeyes right here.
* Everybody's blogging, even Condeleeza Rice.

WE'RE CELEBRATING ROCKTOBER WITH A SPECIAL GUEST BAND
The Domestics - recent winners of the Boys vs. Girls Battle of the Bands
AND OUR HOUSE BAND - A Brief View of the Hudson, a folk-rock duo that blows away audiences at every show they play.
Here's what the press has said:
* "BEST FOLK DUO"
It's rare that we like a band from the first chord. Yet the first time we saw folk duo A Brief View of the Hudson play at the Bowery Poetry Club we were hooked.
Ann Enzminger and Nicholas Nace incorporate many of the best characteristics of both country music and classic rock without sounding derivative. Their songs usually comprise one or two simple chord progressions with changes so well-selected as to generate an almost narrative sense of movement.
Enzminger is a tiny woman, a hair taller than five feet, but with an opera-trained voice as big and sweet as a bowling ball–size Hershey Kiss. Nace's twangy talk-singing adds a quirky and ear-catching roughness; we crave the combination time and again. - The NY Press
* "It is not often that a band sounds like nothing you've ever heard and still sounds good. That's what you get from A Brief View of the Hudson." - The NY Sun
* "A Brief View of the Hudson features Ann Enzminger's arrestingly powerful vocals, which are well tuned to the duo's graceful songs of indie-folk heartbreak." -Time Out NY
WHAT THE PRESS HAS SAID ABOUT "TELL YOUR FRIENDS!"
* Time Out New York called it a "DON'T MISS," and said: "With a slew of talented stand-ups . . . and folk-rock duo 'A Brief View of the Hudson,' Liam McEneaney's new show—and 'workout comedy room'—is sure to please."
* The NY Daily News made it a Monday pick of the day.
* AM New York put it in their "Best Bets" section.
* "Editor's Pick!" - clubfreetime.com
Produced by Mike Collins & Liam McEneaney
