02.15.03
-- ok, enough of the mushy stuff. time to move on to more music news.
pat on the back for longwave -- mtv2 hearts them. from their pubbies: I'll tell you what's up -- the new Longwave
web site: Starting next week, you'll be able to pre-order the Longwave album, "The Strangest Things" from the site. If you order from the site you'll receive some bonus prizes -- more information next week. Some other news: Longwave was just recently named in Alternative Press as the 100 bands you need to know. MTV You Heard It First interview took place last week and should be running very soon. MTV2 will be playing the video for Everywhere You Turn in the next couple of weeks. Also we're pleased to announce the CMJ -- MTV2 Advance Warning tour. Longwave will join the Raveonettes, Mooney Suzuki, White Light Motorcade on this tour of mostly college campuses. Go to www.longwavetheband.com to see all dates. The tour starts March 13 in Austin, Texas and ends in April in Los Angeles. After this tour the band will play dates back to the East Coast. Finally thanks to everyone who attend the Donnas and OK Go dates. Both bands have asked Longwave to tour with them again. ****** ooh, i just experienced something weird. i was watching mtv's made (the one about the nerd who wanted to be a bull rider), and i heard the beginning chords of the walkmen's "wake up". how weird! then i heard the french kicks' "close to modern". is made really just a commercial for startime artists? miker gave me startime's new compilation, super cuts! the rad cd includes hot tracks from the high strung, pas/cal, the witnesses, fiery furnaces, the capitol years, the joggers (the latest band to join the startime family), the realistics, etc! |
|||||
| lots of luv to all my peeps. you know who you are. ;-)
pucca pucca pucca!
drunken, late-night karaoke to "wake up" by the walkmen. can ya dig it? |
02.14.03 -- oooh, valentine's day. happy valentine's day, k! big up to bk! i'm going to be passing out conversation hearts all day. woo hoo! on another high note, my new tony & tina lipgloss is effin' bright. but it was free, so i'll wear it loud and proud. check it
i was reading the
editor's letter in the latest spin mag (the one with dashboard
confessional on the cover), and it really made me mad that they're all
like, we're so proud to see a band like the strokes get so successful,
so we've decided to come up with a list of artists we think are gonna
be successful this year. whatever! their list is completely retarded,
too. it's like we know that most of these people (with the exception
of 50 Cent, who broke a billboard record this past week) are never gonna
get close to strokedom. and since when was spin really in touch
with anything indie? i mean, now they have articles all over the place
on what cds you should have if you're into indie rock... but it's the
same boring stuff everyone knows to have. why not come up with a more
interesting list, like bands that people say are indie but are just
annoying. or top 50 overrated bands. or top 10 artists most likely to
do a levis ad this year. c'mon people, get with it. stop being such
pr rags. nobody over in the states cares about ms. dynamite. a couple fun valentine's
day links. be notty!: Supergrass |
|
||||
| i want this raveonette hair! like now! does that make me some sort of twinkie? for sigur ros fans, there's a dvd coming out. check it. after
we bought tix to walkmen and realistics show, jco, rachel, and i went
to eat at boca chica, mexican restaurant. i forgot how good sangria
is. yummmm.

02.13.03 -- saw daredevil last night, and it wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. first off, jennifer garner kicked some serious ass. but there was not a drop of greek in her, which is disappointing -- she could have gotten into character more -- perhaps taken some inspiration from colin farrell, who completely fell into his "bullseye" irish rogue (or maybe he really is that psycho). ben affleck wasn't annoying until he actually spoke or tried to act. i think i enjoyed the actor who played him as a child more than big ben, but it was an OK effort on his part. keith saw the movie with me, and he's posting his review of the movie on his site, ontheshelves.com. he'll give you all the inside jokes, and believe me, there were plenty. ok, moving on... check out this pic of purdy fab and drew at a victoria secret's party! we're not sure how we feel about the disco-rama on nme.com... donkey show, anyone? derek, i think you should give me your unicorn tee shirt for free. c'mon! davy's sister lucy
woodward is gonna be performing at the bitter end. check the deets: |
|
||||
| we are pleased...thus far!
from the French Kicks message board: MORE WALKMEN PICS ON affordable justice. CHECK IT! His other site has more pics: Realistic Records. Also, Derek is this you? |
02.12.03 -- i'm really digging this san francisco band the pleased. i've only heard their one song "another disaster", so i will have to investigate further... find out if they have any local shows coming up... i know they've toured with the vines, the walkmen, and the french kicks. also check out ontheshelves.com for the ultimate information in toys! (this is a plug for my bf's new site, we all know how toy-obsessed he is!) HAPPY VALENTINE'S
DAY, INSOUND? whatever, free gift certificate! and now we know where
they live! here's an excerpt from their newsletter:
|
Oh boy, and you
thought emo was bad. here's a press release from ArtistDirect:
|
||||
| they are super duper!
who's your socialite? we've been *reading* laura from the modern age go on and on about this tee... and we want it to stop. fiona spotted this tee many moons ago. check it! and then, get over it! |
02.11.03 -- joe millionaire sucked, but supergrass is great. check out the photo gallery! here's the photo gallery for the fiery furnaces show. brother and sister furnace's tension was thick throughout their performance. sister furnace forgot the words on their last song, and she jokingly (?) added a verse: "and this is where the brother kills the sister", while brother furnace left the stage without a word. yikes. she had a good voice tho, and he looked like a brunette nikolai (of the strokes). drummer didn't seem to fit the "hipster" vibe, not that it mattered much. i left crashin' in before dj startime (also known as isaac green) went on. the scene was creamin' with indie rock and newsboy caps. next time, i'll come with ammunition. where are all the
photo galleries, you ask? good question: bobby gillespie tee on apc! wtf! fiona's launchcast station. tune in today! fashion week starts today -- busy, busy, busy! how will we keep on top of things? |
|
||||
| they should definitely add "crack is wack" and "plastic surgery wasn't invented for michael jackson". check out my launchcast station. let's call it rock it to the moon. ;-) |
02.10.03 -- ok, kiddos, it's been a while, but i'll be back today with more stuff about what's going on in my life. i've got plenty of stuff to talk about! coming up: supergrass, fiery furnaces, jason lowenstein, dj startime, the joggers, and more! stay tuned! tonight i'll put up photo galleries for the above-mentioned bands. i've been busy lately which shouldn't surprise ya. but i'm looking forward to joe millionaire tonight. hopefully that will relieve some stress. we went to pianos to eat yesterday after the supergrass show (which rocked). when we got there, tinkle was over. but at some point in the evening david cross walked out the door. of course, i missed him. while they were walking out, some people said to us: "it was nice meeting you!" the strange part: we never met them. could it have been another margaret cho mistaken identity? that sounds vain, but it only occurred to me this morning. |
oh
my gosh, peter
walkmen writes me back. i hope he didn't see my pete townshend caption: Wow, is Mike
Realistic spinning solo on Valentine's Day? Awwww. Someone should
go pick him up: |
||||
| hey, fuckface, don't call me pete townshend ever again. ever. |
02.4.03 -- what is there to do when you're just sitting around on your butt watching american idol? uh.... well you can pretend to write silly captions for photos on the walkmen site. ok i'm gonna go and spend some time working on putting together some shows. wish me luck!

How
To Get Over My Band Obsession: |
||||
| carson heart french kicks.
turing machine, amazing.
brooklyn's new power couple, as deemed by jin,
their adoring fan... |
02.3.03 -- welcome, hugh. the new french kick! oooh, shout out from derek. will have to try that hotel phone microwave trick. genius. going to try to see turing machine at 10 at luxx. hopefully it will be fun! will keep you posted...
here's the update: turns out everyone and their mother was at luxx last night. i think the bottom line was that it was a free show. and also turing machine is fucking good. but i met up with anna and deron. then i saw steven and his roommate. then i saw dan and mike from oxford collapse. then i saw jco's friend david a. then we ran into claudia from onairlibrary.
then some guy approached me and asked if i knew the owners of the club. i said no. then he said he saw me at dusk the other night. i never thought i was that recognizable that someone would remember me from four night ago. weird! and then there were a gaggle of girls dancing to funk music, all emotional and shit. word em up, y'all!
anyhoo, we left shortly after the last band spirit world (they were as anna said, a bad version of the black crowes.) and went to bqe lounge where ropstyle of semiautomatic was spinning. (see pic below.)

|
||||
| this is me looking like an idiot next to kimya after their cmj show in october (and yes, i'm holding ricola). she's so cool! rachel, i want my pictures with steven! |
02.2.03 -- fuck, the groundhog saw his damn shadow! puxatawny phil sucketh. arghhh. this is a great blog to read for walkmen fans right now -- affordable justice -- by derek. he is currently the walkmen's west coast "tour manager". so to hear tales from the west coast road, tune into his blog! the latest entry: last night back at the hotel there was a bassist vs. bassist rumble. pete from the walkmen took on dustin from the hot hot heat in a greco-roman throwdown and barely lost. this was after he defeated their drummer, paul, in a depressingly short push up contest. both bands are fighting for the honor and perceived supremacy of their home countries (HHH are canadians) and while the score is tied right now i am sure that the usa will prevail. all this went down after we microwaved a telephone. |
is it just me or does this sounds like a walkmen video? derek, are you coming over to the east coast any time? if you do, let me know! sounds like you know how to party. i heard that adam might join the moldy peaches side projects show i'm putting together, which may mean the show is gonna be longer and start earlier. yikes. gotta work out the times and stuff!! but if he's there, there will be a bigger draw! i'm so excited about this. i also found out last night that babs knows the owners of north six and warsaw, which might be great venues for bigger shows! on the moon presents is all set for takeoff! almost. i think i'm going to start coming up with a bunch of text for my section of the star time site... |
