Just Jared: Jimmy Fallon Pepsi Commercial
Below is my ultra-ghetto recording of Jimmy Fallon and Parker Posey’s Pepsi commercial, which started airring this week. They filmed this back in September 2005 in Greenwich Village, New York

Executive Summary: When I Grow Up, I Want to Work in Advertising
Many thanks to Tim McHale for pointing out this hilarious ad from Monster spoofing careers in the advertising industry. It’s a new version on their theme of kids dreaming big about the lousy jobs they’ll have someday.

A short movie directed by Spike Jonze explaining how those stray shoes get in the street. And all this time I thought giant bears robbed a shoe store and left them there.

Jimmy Fallon’s Pepsi Ad
Jimmy Fallon and Parker Posey dancing around crazy after they drink their Pepsi.
One of the best things about going to a show at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ is that you can order food in the dining area of the venue. Which basically makes Maxwell’s the rock club where you can have the quickest dash from your dinner to your concert. It takes about 1 minute to cross the dining room, go past the bathrooms, and head into the performance area.
The other kinda mildly amusing thing is that usually a couple of hours before the main act is supposed to go on you almost always spot them pigging out in the dining area. It reminds you that musicians are people too–they have to eat delicious artery-clogging cheeseburgers just like the rest of us.
Anyway…Yeah Yeah Yeahs played tonight at Maxwell’s. It was SO freaking awesome and probably one of the most sweatiest concerts I’ve ever been to. Seriously, after it was over everyone looked like they’d just gone on the Niagra Falls tour–damp and sticky.
According to lead singer Karen O, they played 90 percent new material. People sang along to songs like the single, “Gold Lion,” and some old favorites like “Art Star”…but more surprising was that some people were even singing along to songs of the yet-to-be-released album. Hmmm.
“Phenomena” is absolutely one of my favorite songs off the new album. It’s a dark and sexy tune that you cannot help but rock out to. God, how can one band be so good?!
Karen was decked out in a red and purple frock that looked to me like a variation on the Christian Joy “Bean Dress”, a “Kamp Krusty” Simpsons t-shirt, some black sheer jester-style tights, and all-black Converse high tops.
SET LIST:
Turn Into/ Gold Lion/ Honey Bear/ Mysteries/ Art Star/ Phenomena/ Rockers/ Sweets/ Cheated Hearts/ Maps (acoustic)/ Miles Away/ Modern Romance/ Tick
I’m so tired, so pictures for now. More later. In the meantime, read about the show at Music Snobbery and watch some videos at Double Halo.

So yesterday the Raconteurs sent out an email announcing their UK Tour next month. But did anyone else love the two blank emails they sent the list before that? I know I did.

Hi all. I’m not very keen on self-promotion, but I just can’t help and be proud of this one.
Now until next Tuesday you can listen to streaming audio of me on Jo Whiley’s show from yesterday (2/21) right on the BBC Radio 1 Web site! Click on the “Tuesday” audio link and you’re set.
If you skip to about 1 hour and 40 minutes in you should hear me gabbing away about things like the NYC snow storm, MisShapes, The Editors, NY fashion week, and (of course) Karen Elson and Meg White. Or you can catch some great music by listening to the entire broadcast.
AAaannnddd, you can also listen to Monday’s broadcast which features Jack Johnson singing “My Doorbell” by the White Stripes in the Live Lounge.
In honor of me talking about Meg on the radio, how about I post one of the most recently revealed images of Meg’s Marc Jacobs campaign? Posted by SilverStar on Candy Cane Children via ONTD, I present Miss Meg with funny frames and a latchkey-kid look:

Ultimate Rent Experience: See Where It All Began
See where it all began! You could win a trip to New York, see RENT on stage and attend the after party with the cast members. Enter now!
Ok, I’m being a little bit dramatic here, but you mark my words, this is only the begining. Pretty Girls Make Graves, Matador Records, and YouTube are having a contest. They want you (yes, you) to go out and make a video for the song “Nocturnal House” off their upcoming album Elan Vital and the winner gets 1k and a trip to NYC to see the band play.
Let your creativity run wild! As long as you are a US resident.
The tabloids are sure to be producing a nuclear-plant worthy smoke stack due to the amount of heat being generated regarding “When You Wasn’t Famous,” the first single off The Streets’ new album, The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living. The song centers around a supposedly true tale of Mikey Skinner trying to date an unnamed female pop star. (He also alluded to the pop star on the “Banquet” Remix (Bloc Party) he did as an apology for stealing Jo Whiley’s microphone during a 2003 interview.)
But hold up–it’s not all fuzzy wuzzies and romance. Skinner blames camera phones for impeding his ability to snort a line of coke in front of strangers and he remarks how “amazing” the pop star looks on CD: UK after a night spent having sex and doing drugs with him.
Want more? Grab the kids ’round the computer and check out the stylish video for the song which features Mikey checking into (and eventually out of) a rehab center. See him wear “Miami Vice”-worthy white- and an orange Creamsicle-colored suits, go to a group therapy session, try to pick up a pretty lady, text message for his getaway car, and have his manager scream “Stop f-ckin pop stars, Michael!” via his mobile phone.
Ok, don’t grab the kids.
