Why won't it stop snowing in Niagara? It's been like this for a week now. I'm tired of digging my car out. I took a picture from my balcony on Saturday afternoon. It's the best I could do considering by Saturday night there was such a big snowdrift on the balcony I couldn't open the door.... Oh Canada...
I'm the new Jesus.
Today I lunched with superhero and former blogger Lyn Kenney today. She's ridiculously hot and you wish you were her. NEWSFLASH: I AM WAY HOTTER THAN COURTNEY LOVE. AND SO ARE YOU. UNLESS YOU'RE A DOG - AN UGLY DOG. I fucking wish I was there at the NME Shockwaves NME Awards Tour instead of hibernating in a small apartment in Canada. Ian Brown lashes out at John Squire and plans a Greatest Hits collection for later this year. Listen to new albums from Feeder, The Others and And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead over at NME. Check out The Futureheads new video for the Kate Bush classic "Hounds of Love". It's fun. This film, "Nine Songs" sounds awesome... Check out the trailer! Dynasty goes down tomorrow. Go and party hard on my behalf. This is old but still good. Napoleon Dynamite does Letterman's Top Ten list. Hot. I really love getting the T-Shirt Hell newsletter. This week they justified their Brad and Jen break-up tee: "... I hope he did leave her for Angelina Jolie. I mean, Jennifer Anniston is nice, like a new Mercedes S Class is nice. She's elegant, expensive, and if your friends saw you with her, they would think you were doing pretty well... But Angelina Jolie is like a Ferrari, but a rental Ferrari. You know you aren't the first, you know you won't be the last. Sure, it's dirty, the backseat smells of semen, it has a few dings in it, and a hell of a lot of miles on it. But it's still pretty sexy and you want all of your friends to see you in it. And best of all you could let your friends ride in it and not worry about it. Next week I'll explain why Courtney Love is like a Greyhound Bus pass." Awesome.
I have the best Professor ever. Today she tried to teach English majors about semiotics by demonstrating, These are two chairs... Not a "CHAIR" and a "SNUFLU" ... She also taught us that French dogs do not say "Le Woof" ... University makes me laugh.
NME has more details on the Ian Curtis biopic. Ultragrrrl gives Idlewild some much-deserved praise and encourages everyone to check out their new video for "Love Steals Us From Loneliness". The Kaiser Cheifs new video for "Oh My God". Awesome. Canoe reviews the Scissor Sisters recent live assault on Toronto. The Osbournes have arranged a charity single to benefit Asian tsunami victims. The cover version of Eric Clapton's "Tears In Heaven" will include Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne, Elton John, Gwen Stefani, Pink, Velvet Revolver, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler, Rod Stewart, Andrea Bocelli and Robbie Williams. GAY. Napolean Dynamite meets The Postal Service. (Thanks to Duarte for the link.) Portishead have almost completed their new album after an 8 year hiatus. I still love "Unconditional" by The Bravery so you should go download it from Scenestars. Basement Jaxx are releasing a awesome collection of their singles! The tracklisting is killer! They are, without a doubt, the fucking best dance act around these days! Newsweek takes on homoeroticism on The O.C. They even talk about "HoYay!" meaning "Homoeroticism Yay!" to describe awkward glances or sexually ambiguous dialogue between guys. Loves it. The Gay Bomb... Still funny after all these days... Oh and please don't use my cell phone number when calling for cabs in Toronto. I don't live there but if I ever do I'd like to be able to get a cab if need be. (And yes, I am mad about the cabbie calling my cell phone at 3am to tell me he has what he thinks is my cell phone.)
According to television reports, Micheal Jackson wants to fuck people in the back. Consider yourselves warned.
Belle and Sebastian have been voted the best Scottish band of all time in a public poll beating out compitition from Idlewild, Travis, Primal Scream, Franz Ferdinand, Snow Patrol, Teenage Fanclub, and the Cocteau Twins. Franz Ferdinand singer Alex Kapranos is to give a lecture on Scotland’s contribution to modern music in Edinburgh next month. The Killers are on the cover of the new issue of Spin and even though Brandon tries really hard to look like his idol Morrissey, he just ends up just looking like a goon. NME Faces of 2005. British boy-band Busted have split. I deserve an award for my amazing alliteration abilities. Geri Halliwell is being paid £500,000 by a playboy to be his date at a posh ball. Billionaire Dickie Lugner, 72, has coughed up the whopping fee to have the former Spice Girl’s company at Austria’s world-famous Opera Ball in Vienna. Dickie — whose previous dates include the Duchess of York, Pamela Anderson, Sophia Loren and Grace Jones — said last night: “I chose Geri because of her wonderful smile.” Join the campaign to stop Star Jones! This 4-year old German girl's #1 hit song is good shit! Sing along with me now... "Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp"...
