Jay Z – Dirt Off Your Shoulder
Jay Z is my hero. As a band we listen to this song in our van at least once a day.
Patty Larkin – Rear View Mirror
I think this is one of the best songs I have ever heard. I have seen Patty live about 10 times, but she has never played this song even though I’ve sat in the front row and screamed the title at her.
Peaches – Billionaire
The Teaches of Peaches are endless and always full of filthy glaMOUR.
AC/DC – Hells Bells
I bought Back In Black for the 9th time today. I’ve already listened to this song 3 times since I bought my 9th copy.
Fred Eaglesmith – Lipstick, Lies and Gasoline
When I worked in a jewelry store downtown in NYC, I listened to this song and record about 100 times. The alt country really confused the douchey bitches buying earrings.
Audrey Hepburn – Moon River
When I play this song for people they either say “Audrey can’t really sing” or they sob. I think this is fucking brilliant.
Patty Griffin – Icicles
I have listened to this song almost every single night as I go to sleep for 4 years. The only time I don’t is when I don’t remember falling asleep.
Semi Precious Weapons – Put A Diamond In It
Yes bitches, I’m putting my own song on this playlist. I’m just being honest, this is supposed to be a list of my 8 most played at the moment. Get into it.
Seriously, if you don’t have any mayjah plans this weekend, there is something fundamentally wrong with you. The irony is that I will not be attending any of these-work travels take me elsewhere. Shall we begin?
You might remember this first band from my balls-to-the-wall interview with them on their tour bus back in January. Well, motherfucking Semi
Precious Weapons are back in town, this time without Mother Gaga as headliners at 4 US show dates in L.A., Chicago, New York and Boston during a brief break on the Monster Ball tour.
They have their full-length album (You Love You) debuting in June on Geffen. These show are
not to be missed. I’ll only repeat myself once. Two times. NOT TO BE MISSED. For serious. Breaks my little black heart that I won’t be there tonight. You think that their dates on the Monster Ball were some bullshit debauchery, you just wait till they’re on their own. This show is going to be bananas and I for one am slightly pissed I won’t be able to witness them in all their glory.
Catch them TONIGHT at Subterranean-doors at 7, but do yourself a favor and get there in time to catch Nico Vega. If you’re not convinced, take a gander at their video for their single, ‘Semi Precious Weapons’ and scream that shit or you might get hurt.
And the Pussy Wagon.
Can you spot Semi Precious Weapons?
Testing my iPhones ability to build a decent mobile post. Like it? Expect more!
That’s all the adjectives I had room for.
Intr0vert may have reviewed Brooklyn’s dirty-glamorous Semi Precious Weapons back in November, but I wanted in on the action. So when the chance came along to interview them before their show on Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour, I picked my jaw up off the ground, threw some glitter on and rented a sexy Kia Spectra to get to Rosemont.
From ditching their Brooklyn apartment and hopping on a tour bus that follows my beloved Lady, their lives have been turned a bit upside-down in the past year. Lady Gaga actually opened for Semi Precious Weapons, back sometime between being Stephanie Germanotta and a 23 year old woman with her own army of Monsters.
Sitting down on the bus with SPW, I was expecting 30 minutes of me being awkward turtle while they stared at me blankly, wishing for a legit interview. To my utter amazement, it was just the opposite. Yeah, I did have four gorgeous rock stars staring at me, but to my relief it was just 6 people (including Justin’s mom for awhile) having a conversation about rock and roll, tits, blood, glitter-you know, normal stuff.

“I CAN’T PAY MY RENT BUT I’M FUCKING GORGEOUS!”
Recently signed to Perez Hilton‘s label and even more recently signed to a huge deal with Interscope, New York glam punks SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS are a quartet of handsome gents burning high energy Rock N’ Roll that will sting your ears and tease your nethers. It’s danceably infectious AC/DC-meets-Rocky Horror swagger has been lighting up clubs for the past 3 years with fabulously filthy/gorgeous frontman Justin Tranter tearing up stages and after parties like a platinum-blond transvestite GODZILLA!
“I GOT A DIAMOND IN MY POCKET AND A GUN IN MY PURSE SCREAM SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS OR YOU MIGHT GET HURT!”
Rounding out the group is the unstoppable trio of Dynamite Drummer Dan Crean, Wig-Afficianato Guitarist Stevy Pyne and Bass Beast Cole Whittle using every inch of every stage at every show. As an exception to the rule, typically you would find an act that rocks this hard and dirty and looks this good to be light on real musical talent but SPW actually met at the prestigious Berklee College of music in Boston.
“STICKY WITH CHAMPAGNE, THAT’S OK IT’S HER BIRTHDAY!”
SPW will be doing 2 shows at The Viper Room in November: Friday the 13th & Wed the 25th. An excellent review of a trio of shows at The Viper Room last July can be found on their blog. A recent interview by Sunset Strip Ambassador and Buzzfinder Brent X. Mendoza with Lead Singer and Daytime Jewlery Designer Justin Tranter (Fetty) can be found @ TheSunsetStrip.com.
“HER HAIR, HER HAIR, HER HAIR IS ON FIRE! SHE DON’T NO WATER LET HER FUCKING HEAD BURN!”
Semi Precious Weapons are currently recording their follow up to 2008′s We Love You with Jack Joseph Puig in Los Angeles and will be opening for Lady Gaga on The Monster Ball Tour (LA Shows @ Nokia Dec 21-23).
“PUT A DIAMOND IN IT AND BITE DOWN!”
“ROCK AND ROLL NEVER LOOKED SO BEAUTIFUL!”
