Take 'em to the Tube

After Au Revoir Simone, we headed down to the Tube for Tuesday's No No No Disco night.  Greeted by the tunes of Le Tigre and then Daft Punk's 'Robot Rock', the night quickly progressed into hip hop after I requested Uffie and the DJ put on 'Hot Chick'.
I knew that if it was my last night in Portland, I was going to go out in style and I was not missing having gone to the Tube on a Tuesday night!  Can you say cool?  It was!  Dank little bar, pictures adorning the walls, and only a hallway to dance in, but dance everyone did.  Oh my god-cue me being there every Tuesday night, which I can now say, because of as of 11am this morning I got myself a two month sublet off Alberta.  Yayness!
Mr. Brace Paine is taking a sabbatical from DJing there while the Gossip get busy on tour, but that is no excuse to not go.  The Tube really brings the talent in terms of spinners--who get this -- use vinyl.  Not a laptop in sight!  A rare feat indeed.

'Give It To Me' Timbaland feturing Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake

They spun this Timbaland track the other night. Here's the thing-why can't Pharrell's solo stuff be this good? Why does he NEVER save the good stuff for his solo attempts or even N*E*R*D* (except for 'She Wants To Move'-that track killed)?
 
Also-in related, unreleated-I only just realized that when Timbaland is giving directions to Justin in 'SexyBack' those lines are totally ripped from James Brown's 'Sex Machine'.

The other day I was in Miss Sixty on West Broadway with a friend and Pharell came in, looked around the room, picked out one girl and started talking to her. Then he left. One of his entourage came back in moments later, gave her Pharell's number, and walked away. It was very weird.
