OK, sorry. Check out Communique over at Scenestars...good shiz. Rachael, who runs Scenestars with the help of the other cool kids over there, is so cool. Seriously Valerie, I may try to make her my new blog girlfriend. I don't think she'd have me though. Maybe we can three-way blog.
My little Rock Snob, Val, gives me a shout out at least once a week. She's awesome like that. I totally want to blog out with her.

Hey, I want to give a shout to Source Victoria again. I don't know how many of you checked them out, but do so. I'm not really keen on the band's name, but the music is good stuff. They are an Arizona based band, influenced by bands like Elbow, Wilco, The Beatles, Elliot Smith and such. The site will stream their latest EP for you.
Finally, go download the Radio-C Mix

I don't know, don't ask me...The Lovely Wife is always going around impersonating JLo from South Park. It really is quite hilarious, but you probably have to be there. Anyway, it's stuck in my head. "Taco kisses for my Ben..."
I hate American Idol. Kelly Clarkson is like the only one ever with any ounce of talent crossed with any ounce of interest. I wish she'd pose in Playboy. I want to see her "nikid" (KY speak for naked). I wonder what her boobies look like. hmmmm... Clay is a funny one, but only because he's that total religious guy that is really gay and if he ever came out it would be hell to pay. I know one of those guys actually. He's so gay, but will live his life in misery simply because he's too scared to tell Pops. Get it over with and sooner or later everyone will get over it...geez. Has anyone who reads this ever tried out for Idol? Please tell me about it!
Also, here's some more Interpol from their first album Turn On The Bright Lights:
Pete Yorn is kind of an unappreciated guy these days. He looked destined for stardom after his release of Musicforthemorningafter, but sort of fell off the face of the planet not long afterwards. He toured, I saw him, was more impressed by the Detroit City Cobras and kind of forgot about him. Musicforthemorningafter was a good album though. I used to listen to it over and and over for a while there. He followed it up with Day i Forgot, but the it was more like the album I forgot. I just didn't have the same level of excitement. Anyway, he's good so hopefully he'll come strong with some new stuff soon. He's touring and put out a live album as well as having been on quite a few compilations and tributes since, so he's staying busy.
Personally I have the belief that if you've heard one Jack Johnson song, you've sort of heard them all...actually, that's J-Bobo's thought on JJ, but I agree for the most part. I guess the difference is that I generally still like him and his music anyway. He didn't really break any new ground on his latest album, just kinda stuck with what worked the first couple times around. I think his latest is better than his second effort, but just not as interesting as Brushfire Fairytales. I've was hanging out on the beach this past week, so maybe that's all this is.


Today is The Lovely Wife's birthday actually. Tell her she's sexy and still as cool as ever. I got her an iPod Shuffle...she had been wanting one. I think I would lose it, it's little! Tomorrow is Dodge's birthday...so we are going to Florida with four friends to celebrate both and get out of this Indiana cold for a while. That's her and one of Dodge's super-bestest friends, J-Bobo.
He's got a very laid back, bluesy, whiskey drinking, lonesome cowboy feel. Kind of a Jack Johnson meets John Mellencamp meets Bob Schneider. There is a nice edge of Rock n' Roll Mexicana in his sound, but with the sweet voice of a Chris Isaak or Lyle Lovett .
How is it possible?! I mean, the freako is up against child molestation charges and he just roles his freaky ass in whenever he wants. What happened?! I mean, how can a guy go from Thriller to this?! I am just so baffled by him, his family, all of it. What the F#$! is Thanksgiving like at the Jackson Family house?! That would be the best reality show ever. Just get them all together in a house for a month. That sh!t would really be Survivor. Survivor 20: Jackson House
Seriously, could anything be so bad and so good?! Actually, there is tons of stuff like that. The Lovely Wife for instance. (Just kidding, Honey...sort of...No, I'm kidding...maybe) Anyway, back to the point. I go home for lunch most days. Today, You Got Served is on. I mean, it just yanks me in. Omarion and Marques Houston are hilarious, not really in that they are actually hilarious, it's more in that unintentional comedy kinda way. Like, so bad I can't help but laugh and like them. The ultimate is Wayne though, the white boy who doesn't know it. His angry facial expressions can carry the movie by themselves. If these kids never spoke, it would be the greatest movie ever. No talking, lots of dancing and Wayne making angry facial expressions: keys to success. If you've never seen this movie, you have to. It's not good, I'll tell you that upfront, so you have to know that going in, but as long as you do, it rules. Lil' Kim is another outstanding addition in this movie. The Lovely Wife and I have had actual battles over whether Lil' Kim is hot or not. I love being married, I really do. I mean, It is an on-going battle. Every time Lil' Kim pops up on the TV at any time it's like we pick up where we left off in the last arguement. So, help us here: Lil' Kim, Hot or Not? Now, this is just physical attractiveness. She's a hoodrat skank, we all know that, but is she a hot one? Does the fact that she is a hoodrat skank make her hotter?
The exact nature of the dispute remains unclear but fear not, the Neptunes production team will remain intact-- future collaborations are scheduled with Rosco P. Coldchain, FAM-LAY, Vanessa Marquez, Clipse, Slim Thug, N.O.R.E., Beanie Sigel, Mariah Carey, P. Diddy, Mary J. Blige, and Omarion. Shay will go back to doing whatever it was he did in the first place. About the state of the Neptunes and the possible future of N.E.R.D., Williams told Whiley: "Me and Chad still do what we do in the studio, Shay is still our best friend, you know, perhaps we'll do some music for our fans and leak it to the Internet or something, who knows? I've been very quiet about it for the last two years. I'm not here to slander or throw dirt, I'm just not happy so therefore N.E.R.D. is expired."
