News: The Preteenth Floor Elevators.
After the success of the revival of bands such as ABBA and Devo with the A-Teens and DEV2.0, there is word brewing on crmanufacturing yet another tribute band of another semi-obscure band: The Thirteenth Floor Elevators. The Preteenth Floor elevators, as they will be called (with a none-too subtle nod to their primary audience, preteens too young to realize how bastardized these songs have been from their original versions), will be composed of five preteens, most of whom will pretend to play their instruments (guitar, bass, drums, and jug), and occasionally sing (primarily provided by a blond teenaged girl costar of a sitcom which shall remain nameless in this article, being as far removed from Roky Erickson as humanly possible). The actual instruments will be provided by session musicians, most of whom shall remain nameless, and some of whom include members of the original band who have neither died nor gone completely insane. When asked why such an outfit was ever manufactured for this purpose, St. Pancreas Records chair H.L. Allen said "I used to love the Elevators as a kid, and I just want other kids to have the opprotunity to enjoy their music, too." When asked why they couldn't just listen to the actual band, Allen fell silent only to say "This interview is over." Their first album, The Teenyboppin Sounds of the Preteenth Floor Elevators is due for a release sometime in the middle of next year.
Band Name of the Day: The Preteenth Floor Elevators. Go Ahead. Spread the above story. Make me an internet celebrity. Keep spreading the story.
Film Idea of the Day: Ceremonies of the Horsemen. At the 10-year reunion of a high school, a man finds himself torn between his fiancee, a popular girl whom he lusted after in years past, and her neurotic best friend who lusted after him around the same time.
Film Review of the Day: The History of the World Part 1. The last Mel Brooks movie that I have ever seen (since I have seen every other film he's done at some point or another by this point), it is certainly very good. It is by no means one of his best films, especially in comparison with something like Blazing Saddles or Spaceballs, but it's still good.
Quote of the Day: "If I got a paper cut, that’s a tragedy. If you fell down an open manhole and died, that's comedy."
