Leftovers: The Day's Stray Links
As you may know, I was on vacation last week. I barely looked at the web. And that, ladies and gents, was AWESOME. But it also means I missed a lot of pizza news. This link dump is, therefore, loooong and may contain things you've seen already. Deal with it. —The Mgmt. Video: Albert Grande, on a pizza tour of the East Coast, finds "the next rising star of pizza" (above) in Stefan Ambrosch. [Pizza Therapy] Movies: Bruce Willis films a motion picture at Brooklyn's legendary L&B Spumoni Gardens. [Pizza Therapy] Celebs and Slices: Blake Lively (Gossip Girl) at Bleecker...Pizza Tunes: Personal & the Pizzas
This, from FOS Bill P., via Twitter: @slice, have you heard Personal & the Pizzas? "Baby give me just one slice!" http://www.myspace.com/pers... @soundbitesnyc: Until your tweet, no, I had not heard Personal & the Pizzas. Sounds very Ramones-ish, which isn't surprising, given that their MySpace page lists the Ramones as an influence. As fans, they must be aware of the Joey Ramone pizza connection. After the jump, a video of the band playing "I Don't Wanna Be No Personal Pizza."...Happy 50th, Morrissey
As a morose teenager, I found no small comfort in the music of The Smiths and the lyrics of their frontman, Morrissey. I'm a little less mopey now but still love listening to those early Smiths records—if not so much solo Mozzer. Anyway, happy birthday, Morrissey. What's this have to do with pizza? Not much, but here, peep this....Happy Birthday, Joey Ramone
Jeffrey Ross Hyman, aka Joey Ramone, would have been 58 years old today. Happy birthday, Joey! A trip down memory lane: Joey Ramone and pizza....Quote of the Day
"I used to sing for my supper in a pizza restaurant in SoHo. I got 50 quid, a bottle of wine or two and a pizza. I learned my chops, so that's why I have the confidence now to go onstage in front of 50,000 people and do what I do, because I've been waiting long enough." —Mr. Hudson, British singer-songwriter...RZL DZL: Another Instance of Pizza-Themed Music Packaging
Someone on the message boards of Knock Knock Records points out another instance of pizza-themed music packaging. Here, Strictly Saucers, from a Michigan-based hardcore band called RZL DZL (warning: that link is a shitty MySpace page that autoplays music)....In Videos: Jamie Pugh, Pizza Delivery Driver, Wows Audience and Judges on 'Britain's Got Talent'
In another knock-your-socks-off moment on Britain's Got Talent, part-time pizza delivery driver Jamie Pugh conquered stage fright to floor the audience and judges with his rendition of "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables. Prior to Saturday night's performance the story on Pugh was that he had a crippling case of stage fright. The 37-year-old from Blackwood, Wales, auditioned for last season's show but couldn't muster the courage to even sing for a producer. But Wales Online reports that that's not even the half of it. Pugh's triumphant performance (judge Simon Cowell even seems to almost well up a bit...Dear Slice: 'Regarding the Album Packaging by Horse the Band'
Looks like the Jonas Brothers pizza video post started a cascade of email. —The Mgmt. Adam, Although the packaging by Horse the Band was fairly enjoyable, it was sorta already done years ago by Gainesville, Florida's Less Than Jake.The record was called Rock and Roll Pizzeria. It was put out by No Idea Records and came in a hand-silk-screened pizza box with a magnet, guest check, and menu.Around 1996.Just a heads up.—James...Dear Slice: Forget the Jonas Bros.; Here's Horse the Band
I knew I was going to get some crap about the Jonas Brothers post from yesterday morning. Slicester Josh G. writes in with this. —The Mgmt. Photograph from Talk About the Passion Adam,If you're going to have The Jonas Brothers showing up on your blog, you should also know about the Pizza EP by Horse the Band.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pizza_(EP)I purchased the record when it came out because the packaging is awesome. It comes in a pizza box, looks like a pizza, and there were coupons and even one of those table things that keeps the cheese from sticking to the box.http://www.tatp.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/horsethebandpizza.jpgThanks, Josh...Slice is part of the Foodblog Ad Network.
