I Went to an Indie Rock Show and All I Got Was this Stupid Picture

Tonight I went to the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah show at Bowery Ballroom. When I wasn’t up front jumping around and dancing with everyone else, I was leaned up against the wall off to the side. It was then that I noticed two people next to the band equipment full-on making out. I couldn’t [...]

Thoughts On MySpace

The free MySpace Franz show had me thinking…
I’ve developed this theory that anything you write on MySpace instantly becomes 150% more idiotic just by the mere fact that you are writing it on MySpace. Example? When you type “E = MC2″ into your profile it is automatically is converted into “1 + 2 = 3″ [...]

April Fools

Is it just me or is April 2006 kinda not awesome so far? I’ve officially given up on this month. The weirdest stuff has been going on like every day for the last few weeks and I seriously am making like a Kit-Kat commercial and saying “Gimmie a break!”
When a lot of wrong things pile [...]

Why No Love for “Love Monkey”?

Last night I also caught 1 1/2 episodes of the canceled tv show, “Love Monkey,” on VH1. Too bad this show was on CBS (a network I never watch) and didn’t seem to attract the ratings it was looking for because from the little I saw, the program was great.
Sure there were over-the-top artist placements [...]

This Movie Trailer Is Bumming Me Out

Last night I saw a movie trailer for Hard Candy and it totally bummed me out. It stars Tony winner Patrick Wilson, who I absolutely adore, but he’s playing a child predator and that makes me creeped out. Uh, hopefully this movie doesn’t have any tie-ins with the Hard Candy cosmetic company, which was really [...]
