I mean really. Who is supposed to yell "todd has a cd" at all these shows? Not me. I'll be at jakes though. I'm thinking of yelling "Todd has a DIVX VCD" but I don't know if jakes is that kind of crowd. Rumor has it that before the show Motormike will be at the bar and if you buy him a beer he will talk to you at lenth about his "HOTTIE WAITRESS" blog. This is it if you want to take a peek.... www.hottieprovidencebarmaids.blogspot.com . Ok see you then.

So how was the show?

Will someone please give me a clue as to how the show went? I hear rumors of infighting over on the sizz guestbook..... Was this caused by something that went on at the show? How did mr fill-in do on guitar? Seriously i want to know. My mom just left town so I want an update. All we did was watch Gilmore Girls all weekend. The mom is cute but so is the daughter......... hmmmmm......

SHOW TONIGHT!

Yeah. Big whoopdee. My mom is in town so I can't go. But everone else have a good time. And btw, this ain't no "street team". Do people even flyer shows anymore? Gotta go my mom just showed up. Gilmore girls and meatloaf here I come.......

INTERVIEW WITH ROCKTHIRSTY BITCH.

Sothis interview was conducted via e-mail. I sent the questions out to one of the frontrunners for the open guitar position. His name is Dan. Here we go.

Me: So what makes you want to join bennysizzler?

Dan: Well I just got the boot from my band and was looking for something new to do.

Me: You do know they do a lot of drop d tuning stuff right?

Dan: Well i'm not sure about that but they do seem to spend alot of time tuning their guitars in the middle of the set so I guess so.

Me: Wow that's so funny. This is a great interview. I hear you want to call the first benny record "A Rainbow to Ride on". What's in a name?

Dan: Actually it's "A Rainbow to Rock on". Rainbows are magic and they make people smile. that's what I want to do. Make people smile.

Me: Scary. If this band signs, can you hang?

Dan: Come again?

Me: So do you have any words for the competition?

Dan: OK. I rule. I have the chops, the looks, the hot riffs, and the right attitude. I can practice up to three times a month and have all my own equipment.

Me: Thanks. I have no opinion on this subject.

BLOB HAMMOCK!

I hear this name is being thrown around for the new supergroup.

Big Interview with Motormike!

Yes that's right. Me, the BSFCP has conducted a series of one-on-one interviews with all the members of our fav local band. That's right GRANDMAS PAJAMAS! But for the purposes of this space I will give you the interview with MOTORMIKE! and here it is.

BSFCP: So, how are you?

MM: Sleepy. Are we done yet?

BSFCP: Just a few more questions. What's up with the lineup change? anything juicy to tell?

MM: Not really. Chil was writing all these songs about driving past the Stop and Shop and then Terry showed up with some songs that were all about walking past the Stop and Shop.

BSFCP: Wow that's fucked up. I'm surprised you guys are still friends.

MM: OK.

BSFCP: thanks for your time Motormike. Do you have anything you'd like to say to the fan club members?

MM: Yeah. I'm jealous of all the attention Gail gets and if people don't start writing about me I'm quitting. For good this time.

BSFCP: Speaking of Gail, I will be putting up parts of my interview with her over the next few days. You should check it out. She's hilarious!

MM: No thanks. See you on the 21st.

BSFCP: I cant go. My mom's in town.

Pats Win.

I remain unimpressed with current pats win streak. Untill they beat my "blades of steel" 27 game unbeaten streak I don't give a poop. There is no new benny news execpt to say that There is inside info that the fill-in guitar player sang backing vocals in a certain local bands Weird Al-style christmas tune "Police Navidad". GOd help us all if this turns out to be true. Eat shit non-believers.

The Rumor Mill grinds out another nugget!

Seems our old pal Chil has benny practicing up to three times each month! Is this in preparation for something? Is benny just looking for something to do on friday nights? Wll Motormike "hook up" with the bartender and post full details on his blog? Now I don't have any inside information but the guitar position seems to be down to the aforementioned infighting jealous axe weilders and a yet-to-be-named mystery date with all kinds of his own equipment. Newpaper gives benny cd glowing review. I didn't even know there was a benny cd. Review centers around Gail's time in seattle and has little critique on drum solos and whatnot.

TERRY IS OUT. Bitches clamour for prized position.

Still no reason known for sudden exit. Rockthirsy bitches aren't waiting for the body to cool before lining up for auditions. My sources tell me that the coveted job could go to a member of Neutral Nation. Remember them? They sounded just like stukas over bedrock. Also in the running is a recently ex-member of Ellison. Jealosy and in-fighting are in the cards for those two that's for sure.

Big Bennysizzler news!

Yeah that's right is seems like someone in the band has decided to call it quits. Complete info is not yet available but my sources say that either the drummer "MIKE" or the guitar player "TERRY" will leave the band soon if they haven't already. What does this mean for the upcoming show on the 21st? Well if it's the drummer they are screwed. Drummers are not a dime a dozen anymore. Either way let's hope the exit is not a result of furious in-fighting. As my friend who likes star wars likes to say "Let Qui-gons be by-gons". I have no idea what he's talking about.
