Last night, New York Magazine hosted it's "Indie Rock Trivia" party with and Les Savy Fav. I went in expected retard hard questions that went something like, "What is the name of the studio where the Halo Benders recorded their frist single?"

Instead, we got questions like, "What Columbia University band just appeared on Saturday Night Live?" The question were relatively easy, except for the retarded final round that was called "Kanye or Ney," where you had to figure out if a lyric was by Kanye or not, which isn't really indie but was a dig at host Zach Galifianakis, who did a Kanye video.

I wanted to name our team "Zach Galificantpronouncethisfuckingname" or "Zach Condon Got Fat & Married," but instead we ended being "The Shmashmortions" (taken from Knocked Up), which was all Halified's doing. Anyway, Team Smashmotions was made up of Halified, Product Shop NYC and Stereogum.

At the end of the night, low and behold, the bloggers proved they are champions! We won! First place! We got all but one question right (and I'm positive it was from the Kanye round). Halified gave the most ungracious victory speech and we got booed by the audience, who likely had no idea that we were a group of bloggers. Ha.

So yeah, not the best questions, but Zach and Les Savy were highly entertaining. Nice to see them dance in their underwear together.........


and our cash money winners jackpot.....
