The Go! Team

not to be confused with The Go Team....


what's not to love about a lead singer who's name is Ninja?????


I went to this show last night not thinking I knew any songs by them, it turns out I knew one. The song from the honda civic commercial.


random thoughts and observations from last night:
UP with people!!
horrible mix
why are the lead instruments pre-recorded?
was that a mini bubble skirt?
why are there two guitars being played onstage, but I can't hear either?
where are the horns coming from?
I see a keyboard being played, but the rhythm the player is playing is different than the sound emanating from the PA.
if you are going to pretend to play the harmonica, it would be good if the audience could hear it.
pre-recorded guitar and bass feedback between songs is key to a great show.
Why was the last song played the only song which sounded like it was played live?

I was underwhelmed by their "overwhelming" performance.....
blah!

Monday Mornings are the bestest...

...when you get to clean your bosses shit off the toilet seat.

NO LIE.....this week is gonna be the bomb....

Fenty, Keep United In DC

"Thank you Kevin for this D.C. United jersey and congratulations on your terrific season, it is great to see over 20,000 fans here at RFK supporting D.C. United. It is my hope that your fans will soon be coming to your brand new soccer stadium at Poplar Point in Anacostia. World class fans, and a world class team like D.C. United, deserve a world class stadium. And I am going to make it a priority to help you build that stadium. Thank you -- congratulations and good luck to the Black-and-Red!"

-Adrian Fenty on Oct 29 2006 (right before a mayoral election mind you)

Words have never been more eloquent, go see Imperial China w/ J Forte and the Secret Pop Band at the Red and the Black October 20th 2007.

DOES JACK EVANS GIVE A CRAP?

Convention Center Hotel?? Up in smoke?

Keeping Shaw a SLUM?

Supporting RAPISTS? RACISTS? and BIGOTS? More!

Supporting Xenophobes by standing silent?
Crime Crime Crime!

Not Supporting Democracy? Supporting Black Market Trade? PHOTO OPS PHOTO OPS PHOTO OPS! 9th Street Decay! Library Fiasco! Double Parking Cultists!

Found this...

this was shot right AFTER he was accused of being a Judas, though not shown here Bobby replies/exclaims aside to his band mates "Play it fuckin loud" They then proceed to tear through (the good tear through) the most rip roaring version of the song ever.....

RIP ROARING!!!!!!

I think this was the first time since Buddy Hollies' death all were able to breath a sigh of relief. Music was not dead, rock and roll was not, as would be exclaimed by the cheep Dylan wanna be years later, Don Mclean.

Enjoy!!

Meanwhile BACK IN SHAW!! SHAW!!! IT'S A STATE OF MIND!!!!

Did you see the Washington City Paper's article on the Post's article on LeRoy?
What's the news?

Read it at the City Paper's website...I think what's more important here, is to point out that Leroy is a douche, not that the Post covered the wrong angle.

Douches Unite!!!!

I can has cheezburger?

Been stalking I Can Haz Cheezburger?, for quite some time.

I have also gone so far as to make my own ICHC? inspired pics, which I proudly display below.



Created this after I found out the St. Louis' prospect of an MLS team could possibly share United's name.


Created this by using Smith's early morning quote, from a time wasting website.


Created this pic when it was determined that the Red Bull supporter group ESC, where using Barra Brava & Screaming Eagles chants, cheers and songs.

Sweet Jesus, I'm famous!

Ninjamonkey3000 has been picked up for syndication!! Well sort of.....

New blog service, Shawington, has added Ninjamonkey3000 to its blogroll.

Since Shaw is the "Bloggiest" DC neighborhood, someone had the bright idea to "aggregate" 33 blogs into one super blog. über blog, if you will.

What does this mean for Ninjamonkey3000?
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to figure out how to add Shawington to it's own blogroll.
*Ninjamonkey3000 will have more posts about Shaw. (technically the Ninjamonkey3000 Batcave HQ is half a block out of Shaw, but who is counting geography, SHAW is really a state of mind).
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to start to type good!
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to post more often than our current one post every 5 years. The public have spoken, THEY WANT THEIR NINJAMONKEY3000.
*Ninjamonkey3000 will need to start posting more pics of thyself so random anonymous Shawsters can slap me on my back and say "HEY even though your NM3000 BC HQ (Ninjamonkey3000 Batcave Headquarters) is technically half a block outside of Shaw, you are awesome and you represent Shaw's state of mind, but can you fix yer typing? It's not good."
*More anonymous comments that say, "you suck!", or "shut up, fatass!"


Note to Shawington.........
Please fix your blogroll, the blog is Ninjamonkey3000 NOT Ninjamonkey or Ninja Monkey.

Thanks for tuning in!!!!

HAted by all...

loved by few!!!

Keys were lost, but now they are found....
Derbies were missed.
as well as a romp.
Played some footie... got hot almost passed out
Played croquet!!! Pimm's, Ikea Bisquits and more Pimm's.
Watched a game, won 1 nil
Played lackluster game of Trivial Pursuit.
Drank a beer.
Gave a ride
WE DON'T USE THE WORD FAG! (that's the royal we).

Found these, enjoy:

A little late as always

As usual I am late to game!!

I recently picked up the Peter Bjorn and John album Writer's Block. THough I'm not "into" all the songs off the album, they are a smashing groop. Ideal tracks for listening: Objects Of My Affection, Up Against the Wall and off course the crowd favorite Young Folks.

In other news I am job searching, but massive soul searching is needed before this can happen. Ever been in a rut and you are unsure of how to exit said rut? Possibly I am taking the rut stuckness out on the wife, which is unwarranted and unfair on my behalf. I need a big change!!! My pain should not be her pain!
Though I can't blame all my work issues on my employer, I just can't stand the fact that I am ignored on almost a daily basis.

Fireworks are the SHIT!!

4th of July, wow.

Explosions everywhere until 4 in the morning...

America FUCK YEAH!!!!!!



First we sat on the beach and viewed the above.

Then we sat on the crow's nest of Le Spot and watched the neighborhood EXPLODE!!!

Awesome!!!

Aweseome!!!

everyone else is, so I might as well...

A little late, but better than never

Got to thinking just a second ago, nothing is worse than having to pay for your own birthday dinner.

So it goes......

The ridiculousness of my work place

I just returned from the all purpose drug store that also sells things other than drugs (CVS), why did I go to the all purpose drug store that also sell things other than drugs?

Well I had to buy a condolence card for my co worker whose bird was murdered while being babysat by the "office manager". It turns out that the "office manager"'s mother accidentally SAT on the bird, affectionately named after a type of raw japanese food.

Ironic that the bird that was being birdsat (babysat) was killed by being SAT upon....

This shit is hard to make up...

ABSURDISM at its finest

A thought for Memorial Day Weekend....

What would Jesus do?

Park Illegally

Change that what would Sweet Daddy "I was a snake oil salesman" Grace do?

Besides take moeny from his poor parisheners to fuel his desire for earthly material items......

PARK ILLEGALLY....

Thanks to DC for all the parking enforcement.... YOU ARE AWESOME....

Shiloh owned buildings condemned, CENSURE THORPE

About time the city has started to to listen to residents of our neighborhood.

Found this article from the examiner, Leroy Thorpe does his usual playing the race card.

Hey Leroy, I'm still waiting for that riot!!

A commenter brought up an interesting item. Why has Jack Evens not censured Leroy Thorpe? He is dividing this neighborhood, he is the bigot, racist, sexist and rapist!

For more on Leroy Thorpe visit Leroythorpe.com.

CENSURE THORPE!!

chk chk chk & holy fuck @ 930

Amazing!

Did not know what to expect form holf fuck, the openers.l But their drum & bass with noise was reminiscent of some early shoegaze......

!!!, wasnt sure what to expect. I loved them the first itme I heard them while listening to KEXP, but really I had no expectations.

They are most definitly capable musicians, but I do have to take issue with Nic Offer's weak imitation of Mick Jagger. Nic needs to learn some more moves if he ever wishes to be clos eto the same league. His was but a weak imitation.

I have to say I have not danced as much as I have on a Monday night in a real long time. THANKS !!!

Note to the 930, if you are going to enforce no smoking or drugs, PLEASE ENFORCE THOSE RULES ONSTAGE AS WELL. !!!'s guitarist was openly smoking something (probably weed) out of handmade apple pipe. YES, edible drug paraphenalia.
