Laugh a little bit!

Alison and I sightly have an obsession with animals and if you never heard of the website, I Can Haz Cheezburger. You should right now.  It is simply a silly website that utilizes pictures of cats in strange situations and a language entitled LOLspeak.  According to Wikipedia,

“(often) broken English—a dialect which is known as “lolspeak” or “kitteh” and which parodies the poor grammar typically attributed to Internet slang

Here is one of my favorites from today!

Our Lives As Billiken Club Managers…

As you may already know, when we aren’t busy being students we also volunteer much of our time to The Billiken Club (Yes, It is where Salsarita’s resides).

If you didn’t already know, but your beloved campus throws on free shows to the you and the rest of the public almost on a weekly basis.  The acts are relatively well known and meant to appeal to you!, a new music seeking outgoing SLU student.

There is a lot of time that goes into throwing a show, but as long as we know that we are making a difference by offering a place that students can go to find free awesome music, we would not have it any other way. But the club would be pretty much nonexistent without the help of our supervisor, Chris Graubau.

So we beg of you to come to a show and chat with us a bit.  We always take recommendations and you can email them to info.billikenclub@gmail.com.  Check out our current semester lineup at thebillikenclub.wordpress.com.

Tomorrow, November 19th is going to feature local Kansas City band, The Republic Tigers who’s been featured on tv soundtracks such as Grey’s Anatomy and Gossip Girl. The show starts at 9PM and it’s FREE, all ages and open to the public. We will be rocking the quad tomorrow with tunes by the band and please feel free to stop by or listen as you walk to class.  Also playing is Malpais and St. Louis local, Grace Basement.  Check out more info on the Facebook event, HERE.

Toe Taps and Spastic Claps Guestblogging Begins…NOW!

Hello everyone!

Sanita and Alison, here to give you our points of view and lives at SLU.

First and foremost here are our FAQs:

What was the inspiration of the name of your music blog, Toe Taps and Spastic Claps?

Our friend, Irum Javed initially said the name Toe Taps and Hand Claps for a dance theme so we took it, ran, changed Hand Claps to Spastic Claps, and never looked back.

What is a Spastic Clap?

It is simply any song that features clapping or quick clapping.  The clapping is often so intense that the person’s body convulses. You can check out one of our favorite hand clapping songs below…and link to post – Super Spastic Claps Playlist.

How did you guys decide to start a music blog?

We both had our own personal blogs and were both frustrated by it so we decided that we both loved music,  figured St. Louis really needed a current music blog, had somewhat an ability to write and so became the birth of our blog.

What is the mission of you guys’ blog?

It is to feed music to the people of the world as if mounted through the skies of success as though on the wings of six dragons…
