It’s a very sad day in the neighborhood... Mr. Rogers has died. I'll miss him. Today tell someone you love that "You Make Each Day a Special Day". I think Mr. Rogers would like that...
Attention all students! Please direct your attention to my friend's hilarious essay, "The Dangers of Living in Residence". The brilliant and talanted writer, Miss Meghann Proulx, wrote it in less than 10 minutes... And I'm in it... So it's bound to be a classic!
I love these pics taken after the Longwave/OK Go show because they cropped out the crazy drunken guys who tried to get in the pictures and Burleigh looks psycho (as does everyone else)! Ah what a great night it was!
The Grammys? We’re lovin’ the tribute to Joe Strummer, Norah Jones performing and sweeping the awards, John Mayer looking sexxxy, Gwen not having any boobies, Lou Reed and Elvis Costello still looking hip, crackhead Erykah Badu's hairy armpits, and Dave Grohl and his yummy sideburns! Not a complete waste of time after all.

NEWSFLASH: The Music are currently stuck at the border! And it’s not for drugs!
A little birdie just informed me of such drama after Rob called her for a wee chat whilst in detention at the Canadian border after their bus driver stole gas or something. Hrm. Free The Music!
I’m baaack! Fresh off the banana boat! And apparently I haven’t missed any exciting music news! It's no surprise the music industry stops when I go on vacation! Ha! The Free Nick Jago campaign was a success! Nick Jago is finally free! I guess if you wanna get anything done you need Bono on your side.

Damian and Tim from OK Go (and some random guy we don't know in the middle) working the snow-bunny look at Sundance… If those boys don’t stop it with those silly poses than perhaps their bodies might permanently stay that way! Wooo woooh! My vacation’s been upgraded for the inconvenience of the delay and now we’re staying at a five-star beach resort in VIP suites! Now that’s what I’m talking about! Yeah! Now I’m just killing time until we go to the airport… This is waaay too much fun! Amuse yourselves kids!
Kids, I just wanted to let you know that there will be no updates for the next week because I am fleeing the country in a few hours for a much needed vaca. I know you're upset right now and worried how you'll make it through the week but I encourage you to a) have a good cry, b) check out some of my foxxy links and c) send me love letters telling me how much you miss me. Stay beautiful.
NME’s gone all crazy/different. They should’ve warned us. I thought my computer was broke or something. OK so I had to sign up for online personals to see it but, in the end, it was worth it! I *heart* Carlos… It’s kinda odd that even though he’s in one of the foxxxiest bands on the planet he’s still searching for Miss/Mister Right (on an Internet dating service!) AND he likes Sophie Ellis Bextor! Bless!
Dude! The “Dude, You’re Getting A Dell” guy got busted for pot.
The funniest part is that he got ARRESTED for possession… when will those wacky Americans realize that wacky-tobacky is the least of their problems! Young lesbian pop-tarts cover The Smiths classic… Where did it all go wrong? Fuck Hair is a fucking star. And today he was wearing the emo’est argyle sweater.
On sports: “Badminton’s a fine sport. I’ve played it 7 or 8 times in my life and enjoyed it each time!”
Oh and, before I forget, I should mention that he wore leg warmers last week.
Woooo Wooooh! Last night was the OK GO / Longwave end-of-tour, all-star, spectacular!
Longwave kicked out the jams with Dan joining them for the last two songs of their set before Steve and Dan indulged in some cautious crowdsurfing. OK Go put on the most poptastic, energetic show I’ve seen them play thus far! Besides Damian’s premature drum-kit bashing I was uber-pleased when they did old favorites like “Its Tough To Have A Crush…” and “Unrequited Orchestra of Locomotion”. The best bit was defiantly when both bands joined forces for a cover of The Smiths “Panic” (which everyone seems to be covering these days) with Steve Longwave on lead vox followed by a stage-trashing conclusion of “Get Over It”!
Post-gig socialization was at an all-time chill. It was nice to be remembered but the whole scene felt very deja-vu. I introduced The Lyn to Damian (whom she proclaimed her undying love to) whilst Alana macked Steve. Miscellaneous observations included Dan making mad eyes at me, Burleigh’s newly shaped eyebrows, Andy’s 70’s pimp-stylee ensemble, and the end-of-tour photo ops. The “party”, if you can call it that, continued at the pub down the street where the anti-climax of the night was he Christopher Walken vs John Travolta impersonations where Damian’s challenged them to “compare and contrast fashion and the National Rifle Association” in character… Oh those wacky popstars!
And God how I loved my bed at 5am this morning!

Is Noel Gallagher the new Nostradamus? - Dull pub rocker predicts shuttle disaster!
Noel Gallagher's music may be more boring than ever, but he may have an exciting new career as a Prophet of Doom. As the blazing pieces of the space shuttle fell to Earth, Oasis fans were waving their copies of the Definitely Maybe album and hailing Noel as the new Nostradamus. Just look at the track listing from the album:
Live Forever Up In The Sky Columbia Supersonic Bring It On Down
... Freaky!
Aaah!!! Forget war with Iraq - THIS scares me! (It’s bad enough I can’t get her bloody tunes outta my head!)
I’m still alive. Just give me a moment to catch my breath. Note to self: apologize to my liver for the abuse and toxins I've directed towards it these past few days. Please forgive me Liver. When I read the headline "Fan launches egg-based protest against Bruce Springsteen" my heart leapt and I was so proud a fellow Canuck would do such a noble thing... Unfortunately, as it turns out, no eggs are to be thrown directly at Bruce – just his tour bus (er, for now anyway)… Consider this my warning... Watch your back Mr. Springsteen. Not all of us Canadians are so kind! Hurrah! iDLEWiLD are coming!!! Fathers, lock up your lonely, depressed daughters cos Roddy’s sure to win their hearts and steal their innocence!
I’m currently *hearting* : "24 Hour Party People"… Mmmm… Madchester… Jake Gyllenhaal. I want to have his babies. Oh and he’s the true star of "The Good Girl" (a film that I would most certainly recommend to geeks like me who had a crush on the Holden Caulfield character when reading The Catcher in the Rye).
