There’s a heated debate and discussion about Tall people vs Short people at concerts over at wnp?. As a member of the “short” camp, I have to say it sucks being a midget.
Hey Cali people- anyone going to the Fillmore soon? Get up to the front where the tape is running around the stage carpet and see if someone inscribed “JULIAN KICKS FAT-ASS” on it. Rumor has it Mr. Casablancas left his mark after an all-night b-ball session with DJ Aaron Axelson and Nick Valensi inside the venue.
NME flaps their yap about the Charlatans/Starsailor Irving Plaza gig. I still can’t believe I got into that show!
Andrew WK knocked out some chick when he crowd-surfed at the NME Carling show. What a tool.
I’ve mentioned it before, but I’ve never illustrated the eerie resemblance between Joaquin Phoenix and James Walsh
My mom sent me this link to a feature on Starsailor from Newsday.
Meg just totally pointed out the weirdness to me… The Faint are gonna be touring with No Doubt. Oh daaaaamn.
Starsailor still hasn’t aired yet on KROCK. It’s coming up very soon, so you still have a chance to tune in.
Andrew WK @ Bowery, March 26. NOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.
So did you figure out I got into the Charlatans with Starsailor show? Uh huh.
The show? Starsailor was so ON. The Chars were fun. It got good when everyone started moshing toward the end.
Quote of the day: From a completely SMASHED Barry Westhead’s dialogue with Jenn:
Jenn: James ate 3 of these candies
Barry: You know why? Because he’s a fat bastard! … ::looks behind:: He’s not around, is he?
Word- Starsailor, Irving Plaza, March 5, 2002. Tickets on sale now. $16.50. Also, listen for the band doing “Good Souls” on KROCK today at 1:30PM.
On the way back to my apartment, some drunk guy in my building got in the elevator, followed me off and proceeded to follow me down the hallway as he mumbled incoherent blather. I started to walk faster, hoping that he wouldn’t catch up with me before I could shut the the door in his face. I succeeded.
Speaking of incoherent blather….EW Kelly Jones! Who do you think YOU are? The Strokes rock harder, faster and better than your stupid band. Hey- aren’t I seeing the ‘Phonics next week? Hahah.
In local concert news… Friday March 29, 2002: French Kicks and The Vue. Brownies. $10. Sunday February 3, 2002: The Faint/special guests. Maxwell’s. $12.
This Friday is Beck day on WFUV…. more radio news… John Peel is obsessed with D-Town. That’s right- a D-Town docu!
Music of the moment: “You’re So Pretty, We’re So Pretty,” The Charlatans, “The Way Young Lovers Do,” Starsailor
The NME just scraped the bottom of the barrel, serving up the lamest Strokes story to date. The *shocking* story that “Ze Newie” still doesn’t have a name! OH MY GOD. What will happen now? I just ran around my apartment like I was Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who’s birthday is 5 days after mine) at a Moldy Peaches show. Ok, maybe not, but about the “story”? I don’t think anyone really cares.
A better newsbite would have been about how everyone went ape-shit crazy in LA on Monday. Reported shoving, pushing, and overall whoredom. And the band isn’t even THERE yet! No word on whether any Chucks were trampled on in the crush.
This weather is out of control. Not like I’m complaining, but JESUS. It’s JANUARY. It’s WAY hot for January. Awesome.

Mmm. Thai food.
I was reading Catherine’s pita and she mentioned Scratcher. Which made me remember that Karl Geary owns it.
That’s it, I’m going to Filthy McNasty’s. Chris Martin, wait for me!
