Hi kids. Happy Wednesday. Hope your week has been smooth sailing so far.
We’ve recently updated our songbooks and all of our available selections are included.
As you browse, you might notice that there are some songs that were previously available that were removed. Honestly, this is mostly due to the fact that we’ve been at this for 15 years or so and we’re just tired of hearing the fucking things. If you’re looking for a song that you’re sure you’ve seen available in the past, that’s probably the case.
Other times, there may be a case where we feel that certain songs are inappropriate for the venue and/or audience. In that case, we may deny the request while offering the choice of performing another song.
In either of these cases- pestering us or whining about it isn’t going to get you anywhere. (And threatening us is liable to get you arrested.)
As always, we constantly work to keep our selections current- so feel free to make requests for new music. (Also, don’t be surprised if we don’t know the song you’re talking about, because when I listen to the radio, it’s for the ball game or news.)
A few other things to note:
- We don’t allow drinking while you’re singing. Drinks spill, and things get messed up. You really don’t want to buy any of this stuff.
- We only allow one turn per person, per rotation- and duets count as turns- so please turn in one slip at a time. When you are called to do your song, turn in your next slip.
- Don’t be a dick to the people brave enough to get up and sing. I’m better at it than you and I will call you out on it.
- Have fun!
Actor Edward Norton is such a big fan of Radiohead and activism that he’s launched a sweepstakes to win a trip to see the band with him at Madison Square Garden on next Tuesday. All you have to do is donate $10 to Conservation International.
The grand prize is round trip airfare for two to New York City and two nights in a hotel, along with tickets to the band's Moon Shaped Pool tour stop in the Big Apple. The winner will also get to meet Radiohead backstage and receive a signed, limited edition vinyl box set of the new album.

The set will act as a companion piece to the new Ron Howard film The Beatles: Eight Days a Week: The Touring Years, and will contain four previously unreleased songs and a booklet with an essay by music journalist David Fricke.
I have a copy of the previous release. It's not a particularly good recording, but you can definitely hear the "mania."
More than two dozen works from David Bowie’s private art collection went on preview this morning at Sotheby’s on George Street in London- the first stop in a world tour that will travel on to Los Angeles, New York and Hong Kong before returning to the British capital for a full public exhibition on November 1. Those previews will culminate in an auction held on November 10-11.
More than 200 works from Bowie’s collection of modern and contemporary British art will be represented.
Simon Hucker, senior specialist in modern and post-war British art at Sotheby’s said "it's quite unusual for us to do this with a 20th century art collection. The main exhibit will be on for 10 days, instead of the usual three. Bowie had a huge fan base, and we wanted to make sure as many people can see this as possible.
The Pearl Jam/Soundgarden mashup Temple of the Dog is reissuing its 1991 self-titled album and will embark on their first ever tour to celebrate their 25th anniversary.
