Jarvis Cocker may not be the voice of a generation, but if I had to choose one voice to rule them all, for everything from books on tape to subway PA announcements, he would mos def shirley be the one. I am serious, and stop calling me Mos Def!! I don’t remember when I became smitten with JC and his former fellow cohorts of Pulp, but the smittens have never been liftedens from my body, my self. Well, 28ish years in, JC finally got around to releasing a proper solo album. And the results are purty much the same amazingness that he had achieved with Pulp. That’s why his ‘solo’ show, complete with a 4 man band, totally rocked the hizzle and the kizzle and the flizz nizzle. Honestly, I’ve never seen a singer on stage without an instrument be more entertaining than Jarvis. Not only is his wit wisdom, but the brother was born to hand jive, baby. The only thing missing from the beyond bestness fest was him mooning Michael Jackson, like it was ’96. Well that, and any trace of Pulp songs. And that’s why the evening was even mo special. He owned Webster Hall without leaning on his back catalog. So if he ever changes his mind, and reunites the boys and girls, I will pay top dollar to see them, and so should you

Snusic Mobbery’s gots last nite’s setlist and leg humpin details!
For butter or for wurst, Coney Island is changing. Astroland opened its amusement park for it’s last season ever yesterday, before some jerko co named Thor Equities turns it and a bunch of other bits of the CI into a year round Times Square on the Beach, complete with hotels, condos, and other things mondo (be sure to czech out these banana plans for redevelopment here). However, the famed and muss ride before you die coaster The Cyclone will live on. Same goes for the Wonder Wheel, although who knows what will become of the rest of Deno’s park, Shoot The Freak, or the horrid eateries that reside on the boardwalk. Some shiz is already gone. I almost cried AND died when I saw this
Since the future’s picture is so darn cloudy, I’m having a hard time forming an opinion. Like Michael Scott, I see this as a lose/lose, win/lose, compromise, win/win, and win/win/win [from episode ‘Conflict Resolution’ + vid bonus]. Boviously, when old things get torn down, and bits of history become history, it can’t be a good thing. However, lettuce be honest here folks, it’s not like all of these spots are worth saving. Coney Island has been kickin it as a destination for fun since the mid to late 1800s (that’s 19th century for you history buffs!), and hit it’s peak in the ’40s
But most of that ancient goodness has already disappeared. The things most worth saving are still and will be around for generations to come. And besides the Wonder Wheel & the Cyclone, every other ride is a bunch of unfun crap from the 60s on. While Astroland’s dumpiness certainly adds ‘charm’ to the area, I can’t say that I’ll really miss it when it’s gone. Then again, who knows what they’ll be replacing it with, but I hope for the best, as I prepare for the wurst. So before anything drastically changes for good, I’ll be Coney Island/Stillwell Avenue bound and gagged as many times as times allow. See you there for the Nathan’s diarrhea, the world’s bestest coaster, or maybe even for the sloppiest-jaloopiest boobies!
Remember Thighs Wide Year 1? We hadn’t the slightest idea as to what the fridge we were frazzen. Year 2 wasn’t much different, cept our penis outgrew our ego by something like 20 inches. And so here we here, Year 3. A lot has changed. We’ve gottsen lazyierer. You blame YouTube. I blame Valerie Plame. But lettuce not play the Plame game. Lettuce ketchup on all the poop that’s worth re-pooping!!!
