While Mario Batali’s iPod is stuffed with can’t-argue-with-these-picks classics from the likes of Led Zeppelin and the Clash, wild man Anthony Bourdain votes the punk ticket (well, except for a bit of classic soul). But—perhaps surprisingly—the star chef with the hippest music taste might just be the one with the largest teeth: Rachael Ray.
Ray not only has her own party at indie music showcase South by Southwest, but she’s also asked some pretty off-the-wall bands to provide the tunes. Holy Fuck is a Toronto-based electronica outfit that describes its sound on its MySpace page as “poo” (but which others describe as an exhilarating “ride of lo-tech, organic electronica.” No word on whether the band’s accepted, although there does seem to be a Rachael Ray–shaped hole in its tour schedule the night of Ray’s party on March 15. Whether or not Holy Fuck shows, Ray’s Austin guests will be grooving to garage-rockers the Ettes, who are confirmed for the gig.
“there does seem to be a Rachael Ray–shaped hole in its tour schedule”
i’d always make room for rachael ray’s hole(s) on my shedule
LOL. Careful, there’s a reason everyone quit over at her magazine and got dumped by her husband. =)
i did not know about that
could you expand on it a bit
i don’t want to believe that rachel ray actually listens to my boys in holy fuck and battles. no way.
Yeah. Two top level execs at her magazine quit within a couple weeks of each other along with 10 other lower level editing employees sprinkled in there.
There was also a rumor that she threw a fit on the set of one of her Dunkin Donuts commercials. But that’s unsubstantiated.
And her husband divorcing her is kinda old news, he was seeing other women and left her.
wow i thought the husband thing was a rumor
