July 12-18, 2002 music icepack
After ending last week’s Icepack with rumor -- a John Bolaris pec-shaving tip too ghastly to confirm -- I’d like to hear from you, my studio audience, as to the abzolutely dizgusting habits of celebs, local or national.

Rumor has Deep C and DJ Skip on board.… Sunday, after leaving 1616 Locust, Tariq Trotter, ?uestlove, Scratch, James Poyser and Glenn Lewis hit Alma de Cuba’s Soul Travellin affair.… Going? Club gal Donna Coghlan left management of L’Erbolario, Tribecca and Mako’s to pursue a position with the Philadelphia Kixx indoor soccer team. (Not right-center.) Her replacement at Tribecca? Nancy D’Orazio. Hello. The infamous Dana, over at Kaleidoscope Cafe left the klatch to head to Club Shakers in Wildwood. “My people need to know,” said Dana in an e-mail, with a P.S., “f#ck Kaleidoscope.” Transit’s fave bartender Roxy parts with Philly for L.A., but before, the Sparacinos will throw her a bash at La Tazza with Imri, etc., DJing.… Coming: first Jay Schwartz’s Spanish gal pal DJ Silvia, who’ll spin at Secret Cinema-related stuff at L’Hexagone and Tritone, and Aussie lady DJ Snezana, toast of South Beach, who’ll bring her big-in-Japan show to Taj Mahal’s Casbah and 32° for its Planet Love Sundays.… Yell loud when Balcony booking mistress Lisa Christ Superstar opens for Detroit’s Wayne Kramer on July 11.… The cast of Aida hung at Tritone to celebrate star Jeremy Kushnier’s self-released eponymous CD.

Dag.… Philly’s Flag of Democracy will lead a hardcore headcharge through Funrama (4103 Baltimore Ave.) on July 12.… Dark peeps from Pittsburgh cross Philadelphia borders in the guise of Circuits of Steel, traveling Steeltown electronic experimentalists whose two-CD set of the same name is a sturdy savage package of electro, glitchcore plunderphonic (think John Oswald) and IDM. The Rotunda hosts Xanopticon, My Boyfriend the Pilot, Manherringbone and more on July 13.… While we’ve been celebrating a teeny-tiny after-hour rebirth at the 238 Lounge on Market Street, Tommy Up’s been planning some Mummer-y after-hour stuff himself with Adrock and Double-A in tow.
