THE DAWNING OF A NEW AGE

While I'm no stranger to online blogging (hay livejournal!) I am a little bit of a stranger to the world of "professional" blogging. And I'd be an idiot to assume that's what this is, but I'm striving for something different this time. Something less personal and more atuned to what I enjoy reading (and other people I hope! my five potential readers, out there, in the great big internets).

what I'm aiming for is an A&E-driven blog, mostly music-oriented but encompassing all the spectrums pop culture has to offer (LIKE A RAINBOWWWW) from every now and then, with some history and news-talk thrown in for good measure.

so here it goes! I mean, honestly: the internet. if I can do it, it's too easy.

The Bird and the Bee- Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future

so I feel like I was kept in the dark for too long about this album! or maybe I just haven't been paying enough attention. that will happen.

first you have the title, which is like ..... so very Bird and the Bee. they just give me this late '50s - early '60s vibe, all cocktail parties and slight bossanova and sharp suits. seriously, I listen to them and I want to make myself a martini. which would help if I knew how to in the first place.....

here's the only song I've heard off it so far. for what it's worth, I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG:

things I have to do:

- learn how to properly embed youtube here
- FIND AN MP3 CONVERTER
- ....acquire MP3s that are can be converted?

YEAH, so.

in the mean time, I have a nutty week ahead of me. again. as usual. at least I have a cool interview lined up for Thursday.

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it

No Time to Fuck: The Goldfrapp Essay

Konnichiwa! This is Irina Cummings and I'm here to discuss one of the most brilliant, innovative, and creative artists in the entire history of mankind: Goldfrapp – or as I like to call them , GODfrapp – the fantastique, highly inspirational, and sometimes criminally overlooked electronic music duo from London consisting of Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, whose godly music has certainly influenced the vast majority of today's synthpop ladies, including Lady Gaga, Little Boots, La Roux, Annie and Florence + the Machine (not electro but still worth your while). They're primarily known for their mind-blowing music (which have spanned pretty much every style of electronic music – and some non-electronic as well), their abstract, sexually ambiguous – at times forthright – lyrics which are often not gender- specific , and their elaborate shows, not to mention the amazing visual aesthetics of their work, conjuring images that masterly complement

An Open Letter to the Actress: Milena Govich

Dear Milena Govich, Hey, how are you? What is up? Well, I assume you might get 5-7 fan letters a week, but I hope the glitter on my envelope stood out to you. In all seriousness, I have not been the most loyal fan of your filmography, but in the opening credits of the 2006 show, “Conviction,” I got to see you in your underwear. Ever since then, I have been one of your most active online stalkers (not a crime in all states I think). In the next letter, I promise to include an underwear photo for you, so we'll be even. Milena, I remember even back to the days when you worked on one of those other 200 Dick Wolf projects you did...what was the name of that show? “Law and Order.” Yes, that was it. You made history as playing the first female lead detective on the “Law and Order” original franchise for your role as Detective Cassidy. However, I will have to note your performance was strongly tainted when Chevy Chase guest-starred and gave you the nickname, “Detective Sugar-Tits.” At leas
