SYFFAL: If you were a flavor of Chapstik brand Chapstik which flavor would you be and why?
KF: Original, because it’s a time tested sturdy flavor. None of that flashy here today gone tomorrow taste business.

Download it from Largehearted Boy, who have linked a download to this cover of The Ramones classic, played at the Serious Business Revue last week at Littlefield. Our theme was New York City, so we had to include this one.
Benji Cossa’s cover of “Nights on Broadway” is up on Soundcloud.
Benji played this one at our third Serious Business Rock & Roll Revue at Littlefield a week ago — the theme being New York. Benji’s take on this Bee Gee’s classic is remarkable.
Dig this hot hot Soundcloud set culling a bunch of rehearsal recordings from preparations for this Saturday’s Serious Business Rock and Roll Revue III: NYC at Littlefield in Brooklyn. We’re talking big-time set-list spoilers here. HAHA! Dig it! This Saturday night we are celebrating the music of NYC. What better excuse to work up Television, Ramones and Velvet Underground covers? This is just a small taste of the party. Note on fidelity: These recordings sound SWEET. Don’t fear that I record these things with my iPhone and toss the shit-mess on the internet. These are full-on hi-fi versions. of the studio magic I normally conjure for BTR.
Money doesn’t weigh that much honey, but it holds a lot of weight on me. So if you’re gonna be a broke little bunny, better get on the floor and dance with me.
Three beautiful stripped down songs by Josh and Annie that we put on the Free Music Archive in 2009.
Guess what?
It’s seven minutes in heaven.

The Return of the Return of the UNSACRED HEARTS: Sat Sep 24. Fort Useless. Brookyln.
<
This show was supposed to happen on August 27 but there was a hurricane so it has been reschuled for this SATURDAY NIGHT 09.24.11. It’s been two years since our pal Jeremiah started a DIY event space in Brooklyn (36 Ditmars Street, one block from the Myrtle Avenue/Broadway stop on the JMZ trains) and named it FORT USELESS. This was flattering to us since our first LP was called In Defense of Fort Useless and was exciting since we knew Jeremiah to be a great guy and a keen rock lover. But hence, around that time, the Unsacred Hearts’ activity as a live entity began to dwindle, what with our regular bass-man Andy Bean becoming fully ensconced in his mission to fill the world with two-man-music, Joe and I making babies, all of us getting married, Dave working on his doctorate, Joe becoming a lawyer, etc etc boo hoo. But all this time we were slowly broiling our greatest achievement which is the album called THE HONOR BAR. Now that it is done, we have resolved to resuscitate our always visceral rock-show which at its peak has been known to melt faces, break hearts and build beery bridges of sweaty communal love for the-rock-and-roll. For this show, Dave and Joe and I are lucky enough to play with Misters Chris Buckridge (bass), and Michael Quoma (guitar).
So come to this celebration on Saturday Night September 24th at Fort Useless. It’s the space’s 2nd birthday. I’m not certain exactly what time the Hearts hit the stage but it doesn’t matter because the mighty GOLD STREETS, WEIRD CHILDREN and SHARK? need to be seen and heard by your eyes and ears respectively. Don’t slack. Show starts at 7 and we play at 10 at FORT USELESS. There will be beer.
