and yes, that chick from Bad Santa is crazy hot. what a great movie. I laughed til I almost vomitted...which would've fit nicely into the movie's plot line.

I agree, I didn't think it was embarrassing. It was funny. However, I just did not enjoy the show, nor the reason for having all these bands on. And all of these accusations of selling-out? Shit...playing CBGBs for free sounds like they're still down to earth, at least to me. Also, I don't think this was done for Coco...the band (T&K moreso) has always been upfront about liking these kinds of shows.
Also, afraid to admit this, but I've never listened to YLT. Were they the 3-piece with the woman? That was the only band besides the Sparks that got my attention other than SY. Except the old hippe guy. Oh yeah, and the girl that probably would write a song like "Smelly Cat".
