Happy Birthday to Top Ten!

Scott Kempner celebrates a birthday today. Here’s some extremely rare vid of him during his brief reign in 1980 as the guitar god in the Helen Wheels band. Thanks to the videographers at the Local East Village blog for hanging on to this stuff for 30 plus years!

Leader: “Ah, Agents K and S. Report on your plan for Dictators World Domination. As I recall, 2011 and 2010 were very quiet. Was 2012 more of a success?”

Agent K: “Yes, Leader, in previous years, the stupid, stupid humans were resistant to our message, and activity was limited. But we consider 2012 to be one of the best years in many, and it promises future success, which will affect us in the future.”

Leader: “Elaborate.”

Agent S: “2012 saw the formation of the band Manitoba, which brought the loud message to people of the Northeast, Canada and Spain, and which will surely continue to spread the gospel of Faster and Louder. They will ring out 2012 with a huge show at the Bowery Electric on Dec. 31.”

Cub Reporter Wanted

Are there any Jimmy Olsen wannabes in the crowd? If so, then we’re here to make your dream come true. Due to scheduling conflicts, no one from the DFFD staff will be able to attend this Saturday’s Manitoba show at Café Nine in New Haven. We need someone to cover the night.

Job requirements: Review(s) and picture(s). Make it fun, and no bad words allowed. This is a PG site. My mom reads this.

Job perks: your own byline, use of the executive parking space at DFFD headquarters for a full week, your own bow tie (clip-on only), and a 25% off coupon for the DFFD cafeteria. Alright, 50% off, but that’s as high as we can go.
