I think I want Hot Hot Heat to be my boyfriends now. Canadian boys are getting m-m-mighty f-f-foxxxy. The evidence = Sam Roberts + The Stills + Hot Hot Heat (again)… I s'pose 2 out of 3 hot up-and-comers ‘aint bad.

Oh Rob! You really are much cooler than Dave Grohl! Unlike you, Dave Grohl hasn't been in the backseat of my car!

Fuck yeah! XFM’s X-clusive: The Inspiral Carpets Reform! “Xfm can exclusively reveal that baggy jean, hooded top and bowl haircut sporting, cool as fuck Mancunian indie kings The Inspiral Carpets will be reforming for a series of UK dates next year.” It’s the Third (or is it the fourth?) Coming! Hurrah! Alas, I am saved!

Ryan Adams is picking on Jack White. I remember my Mom telling me that bullies pick on people because they have low self-esteem. Hmm.

Tenacious D finally admit the real reason why young men start bands.

So The Vines were kicked off The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night. I imagine Craig was just being his usual kooky self at rehearsal but the NBC people claim they were “causing general destructio” and alcohol was involved... Well okay Jay Leno, if you're gonna have a drink cart loaded with alcoholic beverages for your guests than maybe you should anticipate a little rock'n'roll mayhem. Dumbass.

Mariah’s gonna start an emo band since she discovered a name so emo-liciously perfect that it would be a tragedy to waste. Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you: “the carrot effect”. All lower caps please... Pretty clever… for a hippie anyway…

I want to marry Albert Hammond Jr. The picture is funny enough on its own - the quote below it just makes it pure gold.

Conversations on Exam Study Procrastinations.
Kid A: “I have to do well on this exam so I can continue on in University, earn my degree, and get into Graduate school. I need a good education so I can get a good job, make lots of money, and retire young enough to enjoy doing absolutely nothing!”
Kid B: “I’m already doing nothing! … I’m SOOO ahead of the game!”

This is funny! Albert is such a big star that even The Onion can make fun of him and get away with it!

How many times have I asked myself that same very question.

HALLALUAH! I SURVIVED EXAMS!
Where’s my drink?

What the fuck is Gruff Rhys (SFA) up to? Last night he DJ'd his “Silent Night” party in Cardiff and played nothing but silence (er, well, the silent bits from all his fave LP's). Yea, like I'm sure it was a real happening party. Nothing to dance to, having to communicate by writing messages on notepads and TONS of awkward silences. Hrmmm.

Har har har. Craig's such a clever bastard.

I don't think people realize how pretty The Datsuns really are. Photos don't do them justice. Months ago I remember Dolf saying he had a massive ego… Now, all of a sudden, he's making self-deprecating remarks. Whats up? I suspect that maybe he's sad that I didn't make out with him.

MERRY CHRISTMAS or, for those of you who work at The Gap, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I'm gonna miss NME's Advent Calender. I've tried to keep you posted with the highlights but there are a few I just can't leave without saying…
Shakira. I love that woman but first “Tour of the Mongoose” and now this?
Franny, try as he might to make the world a better place, is no match for capitalist scum...
Mike Skinner (The Streets) must've thought he was in The Libertines or something with all his rock'n'roll excess.
The Libertines try to prove that they're good boys after all. Sort of. We love them anyways. So charming.
