The Virgins have to be one of the most entertaining bands to search for on Google. The results offer up a large array of topics dealing with anything from Christianity to pornography. Hmm... it was quite interesting to see "The Blessed Virgin Mary" above "Hot Teen Virgins!" in the results. Hyped with deserved acclaim, New York's latest four-piece slides in somewhere between the two. Enjoyably enough, they compete with the irresistibility of "Hot Teen Virgins!" quite well, employing a slick musical delivery mainly consisting of catchy art-rock, rhythmic funk, and dedicatory soul. At this point in time they lay [...]

So if you fuck with all this internet blog nonsense, then you might have noticed these ad's for Wakeyz in the sidebar under sponsored ads. Or you might not have. I was under the assumption that my attention doesn't even begin to encroach on those dedicated "sell you shit" spaces. I figured I just had blinders on from sheer conditioning at this point. Statistically, I'm pretty sure that the auto-filtration of any sort of casual ad-related ANYTHING is pretty collectively developed by this point at least on a conscious level (unless you are your grandparents or something, which [...]

Ok, so not sure how I feel about these guys supporting Jet on tour, but this song from their upcoming EP is pretty chill. Light-disco-Strokes. Might be good for sexin'. There, I said it. A-booya! I bet the EP gets a 5.5 on Pitchfork. The Virgins - Rich Girls The Virgins official site The Virgins on MySpace
I keep meaning to talk about the Virgins on this blog, especially since I think every other word out of my friend Piper's mouth lately has been something about this band. They played a residency at Pianos and I totally suck and missed every show. BUT I have been digging their music for a while now, and they are going to be touring around the country with Jet for a couple of months, including an April 5th stop at Webster Hall. Ideally I still want to see them rock out at a smaller [...]
This clip's been a tour in the making. We first caught drift of the clip during +/-'s Knitting Factory gig last year, when the band interrupted the regularly scheduled program to warn us we were to be part of a...
NYT' SUNDAY PREVIEW: Suze Orman Reveals She is the '55-year-old Virgin' By E&P Staff Published: February 23, 2007 2:20 PM ET NEW YORK In an interview for The New York Times Magazine this coming Sunday, financial guru and TV host Suze Orman gets on Deborah Solomon's case for not looking out for her own money, partly because "you are a woman." This inspires Solomon to ask Orman if she is married. Orman says she "has a relationship with life," so Solomon presses her, and Suze then reveals that her [...]
