Thursday Night Dancing… Get Your Dancing Shoes On

Ooo lala, both Rapture and OXO are flirting with me again. Why? I do not know, but I like the attention. Thursday night looks exciting to me. Between cocoNUT milk, dancey pants and Chilean DJs I’ll probably be heading out and about. Get your dancing shoes on folks and continue reading to figure out what’s going down.

Week in Review: 2/25/2008 to 3/02/2008

legs spring charlottesvilleAh, the last week to feel winters wrath. I’m glad it’s gone. It sure did get cold last week; down to the teens! I digress.

Last week we reached a new monthly record. At the end of February, despite being a short month, we had over 10,000 absolutely unique visitors and 140,000 page views! Between working an extra day (because God forgot it) and our heated debate over spamming, things were mighty fun this week. I think everyone was pissed that we have to keep waiting for spring to show her sexy little legs.

We sacrificed Tofu to the spring gods in hopes that spring would come faster.

Satellite Ballroom’s Lease Rumored to Not Be Renewed

Heard this from a birdie this morning:

Satellite Ballroom’s lease won’t be renewed.  No clue on when it’s up, just that it’s over.  Wonder if Coran will put the push on finishing renovations at The Jefferson, to fill the void?  Came from another music person in town.  Trustworthy.

Who knows when this will happen or more deets to this rumor?

Weekend Preview: Feb 22 to Feb 25 2008

Van Halen got canceled (or so we heard), so there have got to be some more things to do this weekend.

In no particular order, my top 4:

  1. UVA Dance Marathon Party - Friday, 10PM to raise money for UVA Children’s hospital.
  2. Old School Freight Train - Friday, 7:30PM at Gravity Lounge.
  3. Ryan Shaw is playing at Outback at 8PM TONIGHT. He was scheduled to open for Van Halen. Read more at 106.1. D/R told me that 106.1 auctioned off Ryan to the highest paying venue this afternoon.
  4. Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit/Will Hoge @ Satellite 8PM on Saturday

Jim Waive and the Young Divorcees album release party, Satellite Ballroom, Charlottesville, Va.

[written by colfer]

Jim Waive and friends were phantasmagorically fun. I don’t think there was a person there that did not at least have to suppress their joys of having fun. The fun was skittling around the plank floors and running out the light poles. Fun was riding the air and surfing sixteenth notes down the breaks of the Waive of humanity.

Now I have not been out anywhere the last few years where people really let loose, that’s hard to do when everybody’s got a video camera in their phone & there’s a senseless war spilling blood with our names on it. But at times at these events, you do get a community vibe & a sort of contagious mellow beauty that is different from the nineties. Some of these kids brag about their “second generation alternative thinking” or whatever, but let’s get to the music.

    Introduction

    Riding down by the auto parts store in Waybo, with a skinny girl in a big Rita Heyworth bullet bra riding shotgun… but I digress. If you’re going to write about Waynesboro being a different world while not coming off as a snob, you’re still being a snob– unless you mention the lesbian in the waiting room.
