It's A Pentatonix Monday...

PTX on The Tonight Show

In case you missed it, the PTX gang rode in on Santa's sleigh this past week and landed on The Tonight Show stage.

Their present to Jay Leno's enthusiastic audience was yet another great arrangement of a classic Christmas song: "Angels We Have Heard On High".

Smashing job as usual gang.

With Christmas a week and a one day from now, let's kick off Monday December 17, 2012 with some
PTX!

Christmas is coming people....are you ready?

Have yourself a Merry Little PTXmas: http://www.ptx-official.com/

KROQ + No Doubt = Almost Acoustic Christmas

So for my Holiday season yuletide almost friggin Christmas Friday treat to you all here they are, almost acoustic, No Doubt - singing the title track off of "Push and Shove", called...WTF do you think?!

"Push and Shove"...don't be a doubter, just say "No".....

15 Minutes: Honey Boo Boo

One day while I was having a conversation with my friend Jennifer DiMartino one half of the band "The Drews" and the topic turned to "Reality TV" she said she hated to admit she was a fan of Honey Boo Boo.

Cut to me, WTF is a Honey Boo Boo?! As she proceeded to explain all that is Boo Boo - the imp was in my consciousness, and all of the sudden it became Boo Boo's world, I just lived in it.

Andy Warhol, who must have been psychic stated it best: "In the future, everybody will be world famous for 15 minutes"....Yeah Andy knew his stuff and apparently saw the Internet coming.,

That's what writer/artist and fame whore Michael Troy captures in his dead on comic "15 Minutes: Honey Boo Boo".

It portrays the Boo Boo and her family the way they were meant to be immortalized, as a comic book.

Michael Troy

Troy employs his astute sense of humor and considerable artistic skills with great aplomb.

Yep, when all is said and done Andy Warhol, Honey Boo Boo will be remembered as she should be, a cartoon.

So, pick yourself up a copy of this sure to be collector's item.

As Porky Pig would say "That's all folks"...!

MARGARET CHO’S  “CHO DEPENDENT- LIVE IN CONCERT” 

NABS GRAMMY NOMINATION FOR “BEST COMEDY ALBUM”

CHO READIES HER 2013 “MOTHER” STAND UP TOUR DATES

MARGARET TO GUEST ON THE LATE LATE SHOW WITH CRAIG FERGUSON AND THE RICKI LAKE SHOW IN JANUARY

Los Angeles, CA – December 2012 -  Critically acclaimed comedian, Margaret Cho  is set to return to the road in January for a string of dates in support of  her brand-new stand up show bringing audiences her unflinching brand of comedy called MOTHER.   MOTHER offers up an untraditional look at motherhood and how we look at maternal figures and strong women in queer culture.  It’s probably her edgiest show to date, filled with riotous observations on race, drugs, sexuality – gay-straight-everything in between, celebrity, culture, politics – nothing is sacred-least of all this MOTHER.

The cornerstone of MOTHER revolves around Cho’s long-suffering Korean mom and a staple of her shows, Seung-Hoon Cho.  “It’s great because I get to put a lot of emphasis on my own mother,” Cho explains.  “My mother did not prepare me for the world.  First - I was named the poetic korean name "moran" which was perfect for the kids at school to call me "moron" and set me up for a good quarter century of therapy.  However, I can clean a fish with my bare hands.  So there are pros and cons of being from an Asian immigrant family.”

Margaret toured various U.S. and UK markets in late 2012 with Bust magazine attending her show in Paris.  “Ms. Cho put on a hysterically funny 90-minute set.  It was the most explicit and painfully honest performance I’ve ever seen from her giving it 100%.”  MOTHER  will visit intimate clubs & theatres beginning January 23 in Asheville, NC.  All dates are posted on http://www.margaretcho.com/

Margaret was also nominated for her third Grammy Award this past week.   Cho Dependent – Live in Concert  nabs a Grammy Award nomination in the Best Comedy Album category.  Cho was also nominated for Grammy’s for her 2010 Cho Dependent  music cd release and for 2004’s Revolution concert cd release.  The Grammy Awards will be handed out on February 10, 2013. 

In addition, Margaret will make various television appearances in January.  Look for Margaret to guest on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson Thursday, January 10 and The Ricki Lake show in mid- January.

Have Yourself A "Ponyboy" Christmas

After their last dark foray "Pussy Killer" which  gave us a dialogue about the sensationalism of violence and man's desire for fame at any cost, as seen through the eyes of gay porn star and serial killer Luka Magnotta.

The "Ponys" are back to the levity of their "Little Dick" EP with a Christmas song that the whole family will love! OK, maybe not the whole family "I'm Gonna Kill Myself On Christmas"

Put across with their sly wit and usual commentary "IGKMOC" is the funniest Holiday song since "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer" - although not nearly as sophomoric.

So this Christmas when someone says they want a pony, go one better and give them a Ponyboy !

"I'm gonna kill myself on Christmas, just to spite you"....
