Monday Oct 10 2011 SPOTTED: Ted Alexandro Occupying a Wall Street Drum Circle
Monday, October 10, 2011 at 2:48PM What do Ted Alexandro and Todd Rundgren have in common? They both want to bang on a drum all day, of course. Ted was SPOTTED on Saturday at Occupy Wall Street, whipping the 99 percenters into a frenzy with some deep tribal beats.
Isn't all this loud drumming a little rude though? People are trying to sleep on the filthy ground just a few feet away!
For more updates and photos from inside the OWS police kettle, check Ted's twitterings.

Steve Jacobs and Steve Heislerare the infectious hosts ofThe Jukebox, an immensely fun comedic storytelling series punctuated with epic karaoke performances.
NOTES
--Dressed in personalized t-shirts from Steve Heisler's bar mitzvah, Steve and Steve kicked off the show with a lusty take on Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You." Each edition of The Jukebox has a theme, and this one's was The 90's, thus giving the whole evening a Mortified + songs kind of vibe.
--The Jukebox format goes like this: performer tells a story > performer sings song related to that story > audience either laughs, laughs and sings along, OR waits patiently for the performer to finish.
--Chipper Eugene Mirman Festival producer,Caroline Creaghead,picked apart her sad tween journal to tell a tale of unrequited puppy love, finishing with "Don't Speak." Does Caroline know Perfect Pitch? She simply must audition for the X-Factor. Not the TV show--the mutant superhero team because of her singing powers!
--The show was supposed to feature Mike Doughty from the seminal '90s band Soul Coughing, but Doughty choked at the last minute citing a sudden illness OR WHATEVER. It didn't matter because his replacement,Andy Ross, fucking slaughtered everyone with a slow-build story about the day he called upon his thoroughly terrified teenage crush to come on stage and sing the female part of "I'm Having the Time of My Life" at his middle school talent show. As he did back then, he sang to us BOTH parts of the song alone, going between a room-shaking baritone to the kind of falsetto last heard in the movie White Chicks.
--The next edition of The Jukebox is 11/29. If you can't wait that long to watch people brilliantly nail and/or butcher your favorite songs live, Celebrity Duetsmakes its promising debut at Union Hall TOMORROW NIGHT. Or I guess you can go see Rock of Ages.There's always that.

Thursday, September 29, 2011 at 2:40PM An example of what laughing ladies look like. A reader wrote in today looking for some advice:
> Hi Nate, My Aunt Patty is coming to nyc this weekend and she just texted me to see if I knew of any good comedy shows that she+work friends could go to while she's here. Do you have any ideas I could share with her? She's older, late 40s, mom, etc. But she's fun! And kind of a partier... and in the big city without her kids so wants to have fun. Where does someone with this profile go to laugh in NYC?
Great question! Where do you think Aunt Patty should go?? Do you want Aunt Patty and her work friends at YOUR show? She sounds pretty chill.
