LOLCAT DJ MITTENZ IN THE MIX AT FAKESXSW 2009

It’s Saturday night and I’m giving it large on the second night of FakeSXSW boooooooooy!  Just finished up another 140-ounce and a big juicy yam hoagie – I love this event!!!!!!

Don’t have time for a long post, meeting the @fakesxsw crew and some other VIPs for yams and peyote (watch for my check-in, I’ll be sure to let y’all know who they are).  Did I mention I unlocked the Shameless Self-Promotion badget on @fauxsquared today?

But before I go: the tweets and texts have been pouring in about this, and now it’s official: YES that IS the heady mix of litter and Fancy Feast you smell on the air people….

Because the LOLCATS are in da hizzouse!

Wanna get with them?  Here’s a real-time map of where they are at the show.  I think it must work by hotsyncing the Twitters to their ID microchips or something.  Whatever – it’s totally rad!

Daryl Dragon & Toni Tennille, better known as mega platinum 70’s Yacht Rock hit makers Captain & Tennille put on a unique comeback show at SXSW that has them back in the center of the vortex of the creative cutting edge of the 21st Century avant music scene. In a bold career move that has shocked longtime fans, this legendary duo temporarily have left the comfort of the the Laughlin to Reno to Cruise Ship to Airforce Base Officer’s Lounge touring circuit to join up with Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips as their new musical & stage director.

Their gig at SXSW has set the blog-o-sphere adrool with chatter about epic revamped psychedelic reinterpretations of set staples like “Muskrat Love” and audience fave “Love Will Keep Us Together”. So far the early reviews say “Do That To Me One More Time!”.

In a much anticipated secret gig at a local Austin parking garage tomorrow, these two show biz troopers have also decided to collaborate in a groundbreaking project that honor’s the release of a new Captain & Tennile TV show retrospective DVD boxset. Wayne Coyne will personally press play on all 4 of their 76-77 variety show DVDs at once in mini-van DVD players dispersed in random intervals throughout the parking garage. “Some people will be watching the pilot from the 1976 season, and others will be seeing our last show from march 1977″ said an excited & slighty slurring Capt. Daryl Dragon last week from the Naked Turtle Lounge near Lake Havasu Az where he is deep into a bottle of scotch and preparations for this daring DVD playback event. The results of this experiment will then be remixed under Coyne’s direction and reissued as a new larger more expensive box next year in special packaging made of Dragon’s old drink umbrella’s & cocktail napkins from the Naked Turtle Lounge. “Look Wayne’s like the General now, I’ve been the Captain for close to 40 years now and just need a little break from strategizing on the battlefield”.

An A&R bidding war was rumored to be brewing in the parking lot of Stubb’s for the rumored new material , but it also just could have been a coke deal gone bad…at press time, no one was really sure.

OK, I’m live at Fake SXSW and I think I am the first to report on this breaking news. The conference just announced that Nora the piano-playing cat will be at #FAKESXSW on the panel “Existential Themes in Feline Music.”

Nora is a hot ticket on the Fake Conference circuit, having just appeared at Fake SES with her keynote presentation: “How to avoid typosquatting over the litterbox,” and earlier this year at Fake CES discussing touchscreen species discrimination.

I’m feeling it. Are you feeling it?

Back with more soon!

Okay, so you have no real idea who Justin Bieber is but you know you hate him, right? You see his name and you hate even his name. Then you see a picture and you’re all thinking like “Whoa, I KNEW I’d hate him!!! Look at his smarmy little face! And boy, I bet his music sucks worse than anything, ever. Can I fast forward to 2030 when he’s penniless and fat and run over by a flying car?”

We convinced his manager to let us feed him to a giant Hyena in the gym at the Hilton. His manager hates him, too.

One of them is just your avant-garden variety New York sax playing post modern noise composer and hero to the art community.

And the other one is John Zorn.

You won’t want to miss this performence – Saturday night, 10:30pm on the roof of Ruby’s BBQ.

Each year, dozens of thousands of millions of people flock to Austin, Texas for a unique convergence of music, film, beer, interactive media whoozits, BBQ sauce stains, margaritas vomit, sweat and tears.

You aren’t one of them.

But you’re good enough for #fakeSXSW – the virtual get together where you don’t have to leave your home in order to attend. You can host a panel. post your handle or smoke your sandal. It’s all free and and it’s all here and so are you so hello.
