another (hot) mess of a post


Are you going to watch the new American Idol? Being frank with you I never do. I'll watch the outtakes on the news shows or what have you (Scooter Girl! remember her!!!!) but I think this time might be different because we have new judges including JENNIFER LOPEZ and STEVEN TYLER. I don't know how it will function without the antics of that crazy pilled-out bitch Paula Abdul but we will find out.

This summer is shaping up to be a good one for the Chautauqua Institution thus far. I haven't mentioned it before but homegrown talent Natalie Merchant (jealousyyyyyy) and banjo-plucking comedian extraordinaire Steve Martin (THAT one) will be doing shows for reasonable prices (like 39 dollars? I don't think that's too bad!) there. here are the deetz:

- Steve Martin: July 1 2011
AN EVENING OF BLUEGRASS AND BANJO
touring with the Steep Canyon Rangers

have you ever read one of his books? he's a damn fine writer. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE LUCK. he also hit on Tina Fey when she was a writer for SNL. SOME PEOPLE HAVE ALL THE LUCK. I'm gonna go pretend I'm Tina Fey and let him hit on me. then I'll write about it here.

- Natalie Merchant: July 8 2011
her new album was supposed to be very good. I refused to listen to it. SORRY NATALIE I LIKED YOU WITH 10000 MANIACS

oh, here's something weird: according to last.fm, Lykke Li and the remaining members of 10000 Maniacs are playing a show together. okay, ????

> - WHAT DOES THAT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH LYKKE LI? I DON'T GET IT. seriously that's like oh hey Robyn, do you want to do a show with Hootie and the Blowfish, we hear the Blowfish aren't that busy lately? I HOPE THAT'S SOMEONE'S IDEA OF A SICK JOKE.

new albums that are so fast coming out:

- THE SOUNDS- Something To Die For- March 29
track listing as follows
“It’s So Easy”
“Dance With The Devil”
“The No No Song”
“Better Off Dead”
“Diana”
“Something To Die For”
“Yeah Yeah Yeah”
“Won’t Let Them Tear Us Apart”
“The Best Of Me”
“Wish You Were Here”
they are certainly not the best band out there, but they are fun. and attractive and Swedish. isn't that enough?

- THE DO (ep out now)

- THE BOXER REBELLION (not the Manchurian political movement, the band)
who are
Radiohead
+ Editors
+ Australia
- some talent
I like them anyway, but I always feel a need to be real with my readers. always.
THE COLD STILL will be out on FEBRUARY 8, 2011.

---- (more serious)

at 11 AM tomorrow there's supposed to be a moment of silence for the recent tragedy in Tuscon, Arizona. presidential decree and all. please do it. and keep those affected in thoughts/prayers. thank you.

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
