Hey people — anyone have extra tickets to The Donnas and OK Go at Irving? E-mail.

The Divestar gals have up pics and concert review of one of Interpol’s Bowery shows from last year.

Get better Lee Southall – we don’t want to have to refund our tickets for the New York show.

Ok — if you didn’t want to believe that the Rolling Stones were crazy old men before, you have to believe it now. They’ve asked Starsailor to open up for them for their two London dates.

NEW GALLERY: THE RAPTURE WITH LCD SOUNDSYSTEM @ BOWERY BALLROOM, DECEMBER 14, 2002

Mmmm… concert photos. The Strokes, The Vines, The Datsuns, The Shining, The Libertines, The D4. (We just have to take this moment to mention that Duncan of The Shining doesn’t even look English. He’s the lost member of Phantom Planet.)

Check out the ROCKS on Timberlake’s ears.

So many crap band names, so little time to vote.

Let’s do a little plugging for our old friend Armando. He’s got such a great photolog. Check out some beautiful pictures he has of Chris Robinson.

Now a little plugging for ourselves… WE’RE STILL NOMINATED FOR A 2003 BLOGGIE FOR BEST WEBLOG ABOUT MUSIC. VOTE!


We’re 10x more obsessive than any of the other nominated sites. We think that’s a good thing? (But you should check the other sites out too — We mean, those people are pretty damn obsesive themselves: TexasGigs.com, U2log.com, Blogcritics.org, and Mermaniac. GIVE THEM YOUR HITS, BUT GIVE US YOUR VOTES!)



But let’s talk fo’ real — The fact is, out of all the other nominees, we have the most carefully crafted side-sweeping bangs. And with our winning hairdo, we really can’t see how you’d even consider looking at anyone else. That’s another one for our team!

WE ROCK HARDER THAN YOUR MOM ON A CLEANING SPREE! Hey — we just write in English… no one said we know what any of it means.

(P.S.: We were checking out East West’s amazingly comprehensive look at the 2003 Bloggies and caught this link to Gawker. Man, this New York-based site is great!)

Why is Bob Dylan trying to look like Brad Pitt? Blond Bob is scaring us.

From the Flaming Lips list: “The new video for “Yoshimi Battle the Pink Robots, Pt. 1″ is now available
for your viewing pleasure on the Lips’ site. It features furry animals,
flashing lights, confetti and mirrorballs. Kinda like a Jay-Z video, but
without people dressed up like rabbits.”

Noel Gallagher says Oasis is never breaking up…ever: “At 35, now, to leave Oasis would be like getting a new girlfriend – I couldn’t be arsed, dating.”

More proof that banning liquor from your awards show will put it in the crapper: Robbie Williams pulls out of a Justin Timberlake duet at the Brit Awards in order to hob-nob in America (he’s no Flaming Lips), Ms Dynamite can’t share the stage with Craig David, and Mike Streets says no to the geezers.

Mariah and Robbie lock eyes at Cannes. Too bad she probably has no idea who he is.

If you live in the UK, you can see Robbie Williams’ LA home on MTV Cribs. If you live in LA and have breasts or are remotely connected to a US record label, you can see Robbie’s home too.

Sophie Ellis Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor” was Europe’s most played song last year. Sadly the Kylie vote was split between three of her singles.

Ok, we knew Jamie Oliver played drums in his “band,” Scarlet Division, but god damnit — it’s fucking funny to see photographic evidence of it.

Save those jazz hands — There will be no Kylie musical.

Tony Fletcher at Plant Bar on Monday.

Not so shockingly, BRMC looks the same on every continent, during every season: North America vs. Australia.

The Bens tour hits Down Under.

Many feared that the “new” Rolling Stone would lose hard-hitting journalism, but an up-coming issue features an “investigative” story on men who long to be HIV+… but how true is it?

From Popbitch:

Don’t mess with The Management

Jennifer Lopez is famous for diva demands at
concerts and video shoots. What’s less well
known is that during these shoots, she only
refers to herself as “The Management”.

For example, if she’s asked to do something
she doesn’t want to, she gets out of it by
replying with the phrase, “The Management
doesn’t think that would be appropriate.”

We hear she wants to get back with P Diddy.
They are constantly on the phone to one
another, and he still refers to her as
“the love of his life.”

However “The Management” doesn’t want that
known, as it won’t do her career any further
good. Unlike, say, a liason with a famous
movie co-star such as Ben Affleck.

We love these pictures…with or without Anna Friel. There’s no explaining why. Kids really do rule.

Our e-mail server has been under the weather… so if we haven’t responded, it’s not because we don’t care, it’s because we just can’t.

Simon Baker makes it with manequins.

Are filmmakers showing teenagers only as they see them, not as they really are? A look at the spoiled, apathetic, shallow kids of Sundance movies:

These films do not reflect the reality of national trends, which, reassuringly, show drug use, smoking and drinking all declining among teenagers. Virginity is said to be increasingly common among high school students. But for some reason, a pop culture that only recently produced the saccharin teeny-pop of the Backstreet Boys and “Dawson’s Creek” is now turning to harder stuff.

The new films about teenagers more accurately reflect the anxieties of the adults who make them, say film historians and other experts. Just as the wave of juvenile delinquent movies in the 50′s exhibited society’s fear of the sexuality and independence of the baby boomers, then entering their teens, the Generation Y population bubble — which will peak with 35 million teenagers in just seven years — may be disturbing the dreams of today’s adults (who are the boomers grown up).

Kelly Osbourne is about to release her album, Shut Up in the UK. Join her on the press junket:

‘…I get that sometimes, these ridiculously good-looking men coming up to me. I’m like, what are you doing talking to me, fuck off and talk to that Barbie over there. I mean, did you see him winking? What are you supposed to say? “I hope it’s working out for you, walking around without your shirt on like that!”‘

Didn’t you fancy him, though, Kelly, just a little bit?

‘Oh my God, no,’ she shivers. ‘Urgh!’

Yesterday we watched 24 Hour Party People. Brush up on your Joy Division history.

The taping of The D4 on Last Call with Carson Daly is Monday 3rd Feb. E-mail lastcallaudience@nbc.com, “The D4″ in the subject heading, for free tickets. We feel you gotta love a band that has a song called “Rocknroll Motherfucker.”
