LIVE BROADCAST Sat 06/11/11 ON THE STREET

Savage Severe Radio Show
06/11/11
4-7pm
Bedford Ave btw N9 & N10
Brooklyn


Super psyched to announce that members of Savage Severe will appear on the street this Saturday, broadcasting live from the Williamsburg Walks street event. We'll be out there in a booth LIVE - look for it...or listen for it....come take part.

This one came up quick and we decided to lean on what we know. This will be like the LIVE LA Broadcast from the Open Center and a slight return to MARZ RADIO. We have to keep it kid friendly but I also want to make people drop their grocery bags on the street in shock.

SHOCKED SHOCKED SHOCKED SHOCKED

WALKING FLAG OF ETHIOPIA

WELL WELL WELL

HEAVEN OR LAS VEGAS

Ivan Navarro

Sorry I missed this show. Last saw some of his work in Pittsburgh of all places. Steve, thanks for the reminder...

TAMI LEE BABY

THINGS ON THE STREET

CHRISMA

The more I learn about this group the more I like...

First recordings date to 77' at Vangelis' studio Charisma / Chrisma had the sound of their times down. Italy in punk 76/77 had pockets of a unique style for sure. This LP I picked up will pair perfectly with AVIDA and lots of red red wine....

LSWDL

Had a lot of fun at the show with my friend J.C.

Great to see all the behind the scenes magic. They really have a tight pre-show machine running there. We were seated in the Ed Sullivan theater much like one would board a plane. The program staff staged us at Roseland Ballroom. Once we entered this room, J.C. realized he had been there 15 years ago at a rave. Imagine 3000 people in here with another 2000 outside trying to get in.

Daves guests were Kelsey Grammer (ZZZZZ) and Amar'e Stoudemire (YES!) the Knicks hero ushering in new days. He joked that it only took 10 years (laughs).

THE LATE SHOW

Ive been a fan of LNDL since 1989. I must confess I have not been keeping up with my late night talk shows (I don't have a TV or cable) but when I was in HS I watched the show religiously for all the (at the time) wacky humor and visits to the lamp store, and throwing things off the roof, and Biff Henderson, and the swearing lady, and top 10's.

Recently I sided with Letterman during his blackmail scandal. He's getting older and will likely bow out at some point.

Tonight I will go to the Ed Sullivan Theater to sit in the audience at a live taping of the show. REALLY PSYCHED! I'm taking this piece of SAVAGE SEVERE history for an autograph...we'll see...

BILL MURRAY

CHECK OUT THIS BRIEF SPEECH OFFERED BY BILL MURRAY AT THE RECENT NATIONAL BOARD OF REVIEW AWARDS:

"They told me I have two minutes. I'm going to pop this Red Hot [candy, pops in mouth] so I'll be finished in two minutes [mumbling with candy in mouth]. Why do you give this award? Why? Because you have to throw a party. Because you have to compete with the Golden Globes. [Cheers.] We all asked that question. You're able to get out tonight, celebrate — without your relatives — you earned, you deserve it.

But why do you give it to Sofia Coppola? Why? Because you want to encourage her, I think. I think that's the real reason. Look at her. Look at her! She comes from a family, mother and father both very successful, creating entertainments, amusements and thought-provoking work. She wrote a spec script for The Virgin Suicides. The ambition of these young people! Can you believe it? The ambition! She got the job as the director. She directed Lost in Translation in another country in another language, and got a prize for it. [Pause.] God, this is a hot, hot Red Hot. But I'm not going to quit on you people, because I've got another half in my pocket. [Pulls out of pocket and puts in mouth.] I got one-and-a-half in my mouth right now. [Mumbling.]

Then she decided to work in France to do Marie Antoinette, a woman who was beheaded. Not a sympathetic creature, you know what I mean? A lot of directors would pass on that. Who do you root for? You know? She did a beautiful, beautiful movie. And now she did this Somewhere, which takes place ... somewhere. I know — it's the West Coast, Southern California based.

So why do you give this person an award? You give them an award because they need to be encouraged. You look around this room and you can look around the world of film, and you can see people that had great success early in their career. Some earned it, some were lucky, some got it, but at a certain point they live life. They get into life, like Sofia has gotten into life. She's married. Now she's got a French lover, [Phoenix front man Thomas Mars]. She has two beautiful children by this French lover. And I, for one, am sick of these directors with the homely kids. I can't stand it anymore. She's got beautiful children, and she lives with a man who is the only Frenchman that could play rock and roll, ever. Fuck Johnny Hallyday! [Audience roaring, gasping.] Pardon my French.

So why do you encourage these people? Because now she's had this success, she's had this work, she has this life, she has this family, she has this thing going, and now is when people like you have chosen well to say, 'Let's give this person another boost, let's give this person another boost to say keep going, because now life will come to you hard, like it's come to everyone that's lived long enough. It comes hard and it gets in the way of your career; it stops your career, it stunts your life — not necessarily your life, but it definitely will make your career go left. You show me an actor doing a shit movie, I'll show you a guy with a bad divorce. [Audience laughs.] Right? Right? [Looking around the room.] You know who I'm talking about.

I want the best for her because she's a lady. She acts like a lady, the women in her movies are ladies, they have strength and power and they're strong. Even the pole dancers in this latest movie have enough of themselves to call the lead actor a moron. As all you women should call your men this evening, I think, pole or not. So we'll give her a boost to say, go on, you've made it this far, push her out into the deep water, push her out into bigger and deeper films, more and more films. She has a beautiful eye. She has great taste in the people she chooses to work with. She's a kind and thoughtful director and editor and producer. She's all the things that we hoped we could be when we were like this. She's been lucky so far, and she's been strong so far. Let's keep her going. I appreciate your asking her to receive this award for filmmaking achievement. Ms. Ms. Ms. Sofia Coppola."
