In a five minute period yesterday I received three emphatic texts, each professing excitement (or desparate disappointment) over Black Rebel Motorcycle Club's sold out show at Webster Hall tomorrow night. Eyes lit up when I mentioned their name (and discussed their great third album) at last night's Slowlands / The Diggs show (both of whom were impressive-you'll be hearing more from me about Slowlands soon). With Elefant and The Morning After Girls opening, Saturday's show promises to be a barnburner. If you aren't familiar with BRMC, here's your chance: take a taste of the edgy, rockabilly stomp of last year's Howl.
MP3 Masala: "Ain't No Easy Way"-Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
For those without tickets and needing a Saturday dose of The Morning After Girls, they'll be playing a midnight set for the B.R.M.C. after party at R&R (to be followed by an Ultragrrl DJ set). Price is $10 and tickets are available here.
See you out there.
A few years ago, it was difficult to find synthetic motor oils, and equally difficult to find someone who admitted to using them. Nowadays, however, you can find synthetic motor oils on the shelves of Wal-Mart, and other retailers, and the number of people turning to synthetic motor oils, particularly in light of the recent events affecting fuel prices, has risen greatly.
So why do people use synthetic motor oils rather than sticking with the old petroleum based stand-bys which are admittedly cheaper?
1. Let's start with the cost per quart issue. Synthetic motor oils ARE more expensive at purchase. However, these oils last longer, requiring fewer oil changes. As a synthetic motor oil outlasts several changes of petroleum based lubricants, the ultimate out-of-pocket cost of the lubricant is less. This cost savings becomes even greater if you have someone else change your oil for you rather than doing it yourself!
