ALL NEW FREE SHOW, SATURDAY APRIL 7TH

Hammerkatz NYU is back already. Yes, we just finished a show, but we really really like sketch comedy, so we're doing another all new show on APRIL 7TH AT 9 PM AND 11 PM ON THE 8TH FLOOR OF KIMMEL! Although Silver can be a fun place to be, too many people really don't want to remember that class I took.

We at Hammerkatz thought of something that might be fun, take any random line of dialogue from a sketch and try to find a way to make it fit in real life. Example from March show, "You guys are lucky, there's a unicorn being raped across town." Choose your own in the April show.

Also, feel free to create as many facebook groups as possible about specific lines of dialogue from our sketches.

Montessori

Today in my performance art practicum (and yes, it's just as the title suggests), we had to think of a story when we first realized that boys and girls were "different." I was thinking about my childhood and the progressive Montessori preschool I attended, when I suddenly remembered the way the bathrooms were set up: boys and girls did their business in the same bathroom. Not only that, but there were no partitions on the toilets. So for a straight year, I watched every single one of my peers go wee wee. I would literally be sitting on the pot next to my guy friend taking a piss, and we'd just be chatting it up about Ninja Turtles. Looking back, the Tisch student in me is like, "Oh! Awesome! They were raising us in an embarassment-free atmosphere," but the more logical part in me wonders, "How was Montessori not sued?" and "Did this greatly affect/traumatize me in any way?" I don't remember getting to kindergarten and having trouble adapting to the sudden privacy of the "little girl's room," so I can rest assured that, traumatizing or not, my progressive preschool didn't hinder me from adapting to the more regular rules of society.


So...can I watch you take a piss?

I think I saw the girl who works at Other Music smile...

Well, I figured it was about time for Sime to do a good ol' fashioned music post, doncha think?
I think so. Here we go!

I was at the always reliable Other Music today with some friends from Cornell (that school with the...gorges) and I got a good recommendation from one of them for this cd:

It's actually a four song ep called Farewell Forest by Telepathe.
If you're into Gang Gang Dance and Animal Collective, you might wannt to check them out. They're actually on the same label as Gang Gang Dance. The label is The Social Registry.
The friend that made the recommendation also said that pretty much every band on that label now is quite good.
I suggest you check out their website here and see for yourself. They have plenty of mp3s from all the bands. I suggest you check out The Telepathe song they have there and also the band Psychic Ills. They're pretty rockin too.
And if you haven't heard Gang Gang Dance, give them a listen while you're there.
Go crazy!

Alright, that's enough of that. I hope everyone out there in NYU land had a fun and reckless spring break. Now it's time to work. Stop smiling! Go to bed!

Peace.

dude, we spaced...

So we have it on good authority that some people showed up to Silver Center last Friday night looking for a HKATZNYU show that wasn't there. We were forced to postpone the show 'till THIS SATURDAY the 25th, in Silver 703, 9 and 11 PM. We're deeply sorry if you were one of those people who came on Friday...HKATZNYU owes you some ice cream . Come up after the show on Saturday and be like, "Dude, update your website...and buy me some ice cream." And we'll make that happen forthwith.

Speaking of ice cream, Donald Glover, Dominic Dierkes and myself are gonna be doing improv with NYU alums THE WICKED WICKED HAMMERKATZ on Friday night at Red Room at 10:30. The show is called "Drunken Ice Cream Social," and you get free ice cream and a free shot (if you're, y'know, of age) with your five dollar admission. Jhyeah! It should be a blast.

Love

DC

Camera whores.

My friend took some pics during the show.

I am here to share them with you.

And make dirty comments to your mother. Don't worry, she likes it.



Here's just some guys standing around. They're quite boring, I must say.



Doctor Kalgore is actually a real person. He lives in all our hearts.




I'm vain. So what.




Yoga soothes the soul. Or some shit like that...





This family is happy because they're rich. And they have a lot of things.


My friend only seemed to take pics when I was onstage. That's a shame. I would've liked a pic of dolphin sex.

Alright, now I must return to finishing up my final project.
Actions are a sonuvabitch.


Merry holidays everyone.

Drunk yourself stupid. You've earned it.

Top 20 Top 20 Lists List

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that 2005 is no more so that I may post my Top 20 Albums of 2005 LIST!!

This list is only the opinion of me, Sime, and does not reflect the opinion and tastes of Hammerkatz NYU.



20. Awesomer - Blood on the Wall
19. Gimme Fiction - Spoon
18. Veneer - Jose Gonzalez
17. Runner's Four - Deerhoof
16. Picaresque - Decemberists
15. S/T - LCD SOundsystem
14. God's Money - Gang Gang Dance
13. Bloc Party - Silent Alarm
12. I Am a Bird Now- Antony & the Johnsons
11. Wind in the Wires - Patrick Wolf
10. Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs - Andrew Bird
9. Apologies to the Queen Mary - Wolf Parade
8. S/T - Broken Social Scene
6. I'm Wide Awake it's Morning/Digital Ash in a Digital Urn - Bright Eyes
5. S/T - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!
4. La Foret - Xiu Xiu
3. Come on Feel the Illinoise! - SUfjan Stevens
2. Feels - Animal Collective

1. Takk... - Sigur Ros
To go along with the top choice is a breath-taking video for Glosoli. You should check it out. It is utterly beautiful. So is the song, of course.


Yep. That's it!
If you don't agree...I don't really care. Again, it's just my opinion. I have all those albums and don't talk shit unless you've listened to them.

As the Romans say "Yo, Saturnalia" and see you in 2006!

Sime is a music addict.

Since DC is doing some music posts I think I'll folow in his freshly made footsteps and do a little post about music now.

First off, DC isn't kidding about Jose Gonzalez. That man is phenomenal. I bought his cd today, along with two others.

The other two cds I purchased at Other Music (where else?) were Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light by Bell Orchestre and Awesomer by Blood on the Wall.

Both albums are top notch. Bell Orchestre is a band that includes a couple or a few members of the Arcade Fire. How would I describe them? Well, it's instrumental "post rock". It's quite beautiful. They're serene at times, and cinematic, and joyful, and droney, and autumn. Very autumn.

Go here to experience what I'm babbling about.

Now, Blood on the Wall is a different experience. They're just an...awesome rock band
with a female singer, but she shares singing duties with the guitarist. They're from this wonderful city as well, so...I suggest you check 'em out.

Click here to download Reunite on Ice by Blood on the Wall.

Wicked.



Shit, my laundry has piled up to almost a place of no hope. I will pay someone a reasonable amount of money to do my laundry. I seriously have no time or energy for this shit.

I can't wait till I'm rich and I don't have to do this crap.
I'm sure by then there will be robot housekeepers.

Fuckin sweet...like the Jetsons and shit.






Ya know?
