It’s coming… it’s coming… THE REALISTICS @ BOWERY BALLROOM

And… THE SIREN FESTIVAL

Chris Martin. Uncontrolably nice. Embarrassingly rid of skeletons in the closet. Unable to hold a girlfriend due to being an “uncool fool.” Insecure about his abilities and afraid of being “that ‘Yellow’ guy” for the rest of eternity. And he loves kite flying. Jesus. I’m such a sucker for wussies.

Chris on the new album:

“The ideas behind the new album are all to do with love and death… It’s about not knowing anything and the freedom that gives you to try anything. And girls. It’s about girls, too. Isn’t everything?”

Everyone, collective swoony sigh right… now. Thank you.

Chris on… ahem… Natalie Imbruglia:

“Dreams come true… They really do! I grew up watching Neighbours and I was totally fixated by this one character, Beth. I really fell in love with her. Years later I’m in a band and who do I meet? Beth, Natalie Imbruglia, and she’s a fan. Of me, well, our music. That… that… that…That’s amazing. She’s a mate of mine. She’s my friend. It’s too strange. Tremendous, though.”

Collective mild groaning right… now. Thank you.

And cover your children’s eyes… Chris say… well… read on then:

“Romantically, I’m a complete cunt. Absolutely. I’m a complete loser and failure in all things romantically.”

Collective confusion right… now. Thanks.

One more… Chris on his non rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle:

“Well, I am odd, I suppose. You know, I’m in a rock’n'roll band and people think it’s weird because I don’t do anything remotely rock’n'roll – apart from playing it. People think it’s weird I don’t take drugs or drink. But for me, rock’n'roll is all about doing whatever you want. It’s about defying convention and being who you are. And that’s me.”

Oh Chris, you’ll do just fine.

More from today’s Guardian: North vs. South. Northern lights burn brighter? Women taking up “sorbet sex.” Why you should never find the man of your dreams.

Um… it’s disturbing to know that someone else is fond of Pez AND The Strokes. Well, what I mean to say is it’s amusing and slightly disturbing that someone has made a painting of The Strokes as Pez Dispensers… it’s hanging up at Luna Lounge. It frightens me a bit, the very thought. Thanks to Peter for the weirdest news of the day.

I love Alyse because she’s my crazy Cali girl. She goes to too many shows and she’s nerdy enough to actually like Phantom Planet. Go tell her how gay she is. Hahahahahaha. Yeah, or check out her new photo section: Rock Star.

Oh check it OUT! The New York Times’ William Safire goes for it- He does his weekly “On Language” column about… oh yeah, baby- BLOG!

Just this morning I was talking to Jen about my previous life as a RENThead ::shudder::. And then I read this nostalgic RENT article by Anthony Tommasini. In it he suggests to the producers of the 6-year-strong musical to pay attention to the subtlety of Larson’s work… something that seems to have been lost. Wow… has it really been that long? 1996 seems just like yesterday.

The pictures on The Strokes website are so cool, I don’t know what to do with myself. So many pictures. So awesome. I love The Strokes. See obscurities such as THE SKINNIEST MAN KNOWN TO..ERM… MAN! or A HAPPY SMILING JULIAN CASABLANCAS!

Maybe 2 weeks ago I was in the craft store and I saw fuzzy Pez dispensers. I wanted one so badly because it was so cute, but I didn’t get it because candy is kinda bad for you, and I thought I would look stupid carrying around a fuzzy pez dispenser… in addition to the 6-pack of plastic water guns I’d purchased. I’ll have to make due with my Yoda Pez dispenser. It’s supafly. Yeah I know, I too am starting to think I’m a 15-year-old girl.

Oh man, I totally love The Strokes, don’t I? How much does it RAWK that Albert ‘n’ Nick nominated The Moldy Peaches and Stereo Total for the Shortlist? And Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon nodded to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, baby! It rocks so fucking hard Brian Chase got a nosebleed just thinking about it. Link via Ms Catherine.

Hey now! Italian-speaking/reading Quinn was kind enough to translate that White Stripes South Park story for all of you to enjoy:

While the majority of international stars lend their caricature to the
Simpsons – or to Madame Tissaud – the White Stripes have accepted to
sing a
‘recital’ to Cartman and Kenny.



The debut will happen next week in an episode that will go on air only
in
America.



“They’re perfect,” comments Trey Stone, one of the creators of South
Park.
“Jack White is particularly happy with his portrayal because his nose
is not
stuck up like a little pig. Also, because it doesn’t have a nose!”

Lalalala. These Italian people are crazy. Lalalalalala.

Noel… why do you consistently act like a baffoon?
