    Hey, hey, I don't work /Cos I don't have to /I don't have to work /There's no work to do

    Yay! It's Friday! The weeks go by sooo fast recently....
    I have sooo much shit to do.... craphole. I really need to start writing my research paper!

    Err... Set List from OK Go show yesterday.

    return
    don't ask me
    there's a fire
    you're so damn hot
    what to do
    hello, my treacherous friends
    the fix is in
    nite klub (specials cover)
    it's tough to have a crush
    unrequited orchestra of locomotion
    c-c-c-cinnamon lips
    bye bye baby
    hold the line (toto cover)
    get over it

    Yes, they fucking played Nite Klub. It was sooo awesome. Damian got all hyper and climbed up on top of the speakers and jumped off it afterwards. Fun stuff. I heart them a lot.

    Umm... I really need to see The Music SOON or else I think I'm going to die of deprived pleasure.

    YOU'RE SOOOOO DAMN HOT!!

    Yes, this of course goes out to the lovely Damian Kulash of OK Go. I saw him twice today!!! Awwwww....... He has the prettiest, prettiest green eyes in the world. Such a pity that they are leaving for England tomorrow. Poo. Anyways, I took tons of pictures of the show (mostly of Damian) and you can check them out here. And I did get them to draw on the other side of my lovely green bag. Damian drew my shoe cos he thought they were cool. He said that they are touring again in April w/ The Donnas. Yay!


    Pic of the Day: Damian Kulash - Aww... I think I'm going to have a heart attack.

    Song of the Day: OK Go - Return
    Now its years since your body went flat and even memories of that
    are all think and dull, all gravel and glass. But who needs them
    now -- displaced they're easily more safe -- the worst of it now: I
    can't remember your face.

    Return.

    For a while, with the vertigo cured, we were alive -- we were pure.
    The void took the shape of all that you were, but years take their
    toll, and things get bent into shape... Antiseptic and tired, I can't
    remember your face.

    Return.

    You were supposed to grow old. Reckless, unfrightened, and old,
    you were supposed to grow old.

    Return. You were supposed to return.

    All the Things You Said... All the Things You Said... Runnin' Thru My Head


    Pic of the Day: Interpol

    I hate you why are you going to Spain?

    Field trip to the Getty today was fun. We saw Bill Viola's exhibition. It was funny cos I had seen one of him pieces before but I can't remeber where. It might have been at the Art Academy @ Cranbrook.... Reminds me of sneaking into their graduation party w/ Natalia and Ewan McGreor boy. haha.

    I bought the Fader mag today. Article on a bunch of bands that I like. My favorite was when they claimed that Rob Harvey was the oldest member of The Music which is soo not true. Although he doesn't look it, Philbert is.... Get it right people!

    So apparently, if you are a true fan, you can download tracks from "Elephant" on the NME website. P.S. Vote for the eskimo Rob picture while you're at it.

    The Raveonettes are cool. I like them. I like Hoggboy too.

    Okay, I hate to admit this but I like the t.a.t.u song.

    Song o' the Day - C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips/OK Go

    C-C-C-Cinnamon lips and candy kisses, on my tongue. Fun!
    B-B-B-Buttery eyes, if only cries could come from those eyes. Oh!
    Have you landed yet and, if so, would you let me know?
    I'm tired of looking up into those starry eyes.
    Does it rain where you are? Does it snow?
    And, if so, remind me not to go there, the weather affects my knee.

    I've never felt this way before.

    C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips, go powder your cheeks and meet your
    new beau, oh...
    C-C-C-Counting sheep, if only sheep could put me to sleep, oh...

    I've never felt this way before.

    Some day (one day) you'll miss me.
    Mundane Sundays, when I'm gone.
    One day (some day) you'll miss me.
    One day when I'm gone (adieu and so long)
    One day when I'm gone!

    No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

    Have you landed yet and, if so, would you let me know?

    I've never felt this way before.

    I'm sorry but I'm skipping Russian cinema tomorrow to go see OK Go...
    P.S. Will someone write my Italian paper for me?

    I watched "Birthday Girl" today. It involved a British protagonist, Russians, a prostitute, money & sex. Yes, I like.


    Pic of the Day - Nikolai is pretty.

    Sooo.... I've been painting and painting and painting......
    ARRRRRGHHGHHHHHHH and I figured I needed a break.

    Anyways, the full lineup for Coachella has been announced!!!
    Blur was added to the bill. How exciting! Blur's new albummy is called "Think Tank."

    I put up pictures of the Ben Kweller in store here. Pictures of BK are all taken from low angle due to the fact that he made us all sit.

    Yay, yay, yay! I'm gonna go see The Streets @ El Rey on 3/11. Geeza's need excitement, although I'm not a geezer. haha.

    Everyone don't forget to catch Coldplay live @ the Grammys tonite.

    Miss Jackson by The Vines is still classic. I guess I was the only one that thought that Craiggers was saying "We say it's full of crap" instead of "We say it's full grown." I must be blind or somethin'. Thanks for pointing it out Brian.

    Stop, Collaborate and Listen/BK's back with my brand new invention/something grabs a hold of me tightly/flow like a harpoon daily and nightly!

    Awww.... BK rocks my world! I went to the lovely in store gigsy @ Virgin Megastore today.
    Brendan Benson sang a couple of songs first and the it was our Ben's turn. Ben is def. tiny. He's about my height and skinny, but adorable. So, what he wanted to do was for all of us to sit down and Ben would sing to us from the middle of the circle, campfire style. He called his backup vocal guy Josh (I think) and JK from Radish to sing w/ him too. Brendan Benson joined in as well. Fun stuff. It was kinda hard to take pixies cos the boy is v. hyper and moves around like no other and diggy cameras are stupid when it come to fast moving peeps. Anyways, there was a autograph session afterwards and I got him to sign a couple things and he drew on my bag. I think I'll try get the OK Go crew to draw on the back of it next week. Lovely day in the neighborhood. Cheers people. :)

    Songs BK sang...
    Commerce, TX (I think)
    Walk On Me
    BK Baby
    A song from his Radish days (Josh-I think & JK from Radish joins in)
    Family Tree (w/ Josh & JK)
    ?????? Girl (Brendan Benson joins in) - A song about meeting a girl @ an online chatroom.
    Cally (w/ Brendan Benson, Josh & JK)

    Fun Facts of the Day
    - 88.7% of the peeps there were wearing Converse shoosies including BK himself.
    - Suprisingly, there were lots of guys there as well.
    - Lizzy was there. :)
    - The gang went and ate @ Wolfgang Puck Cafe afterwards.
    - The Music's LP (Parental Advisory too) was displayed at the DJ Booth. So I went in to talk to the DJ and turns out he was British. I asked him to play something off their album and he said that he couldn't cos he had to play BK until he left.... Poo to that. But he told me that he was playing it tons yesterday and will continue throughout the week. Yay! Go cool British DJ's that like The Music! :)

    BK Song of the Day - Commerce, TX

    I got a bad flavour
    I got dirty clothes
    I got a strange neighbour who doesn't have curtains on her windows

    I got a pet hedgehog
    Drinkin� jager all day
    You got my Crate combo and a baby on the way but its ok

    It�s gonna take alot of time before I can cross that finish line
    And when I can�t take the fall I really wanna make that call.

    That�s my new best friend
    Ann Disaster�s her name
    We�re passin� out on the carpet and our attributes are the same

    It�s the slacker life style
    That we do so well
    Bills are due on Monday I�m oblivous cant you tell

    My brain is super fried it involves pain to look inside

    Watch the newly made vid for Commerce,TX.

    PLEASE PLEASE VOTE FOR HOT HOT HEAT SO THEY CAN BE ON MTV!!!

    New pics on their website as well. You can check out the Troubadour madness.

    A lovely review of Adam Green's LA show. Thanks Chris. :)

    On first hearing, former Moldy Peach Adam Green's simple, straight-to-the-heart songs were easy to pass off as the work of a sexually frustrated faux naif a la Johnathan Richman or Lou Barlow. Then again, the 21-year old was selling CDs at the merch table for a mere $5. Maybe Green is an actual naif a la Tiny Tim? Then again, his lyrics were simultaneously surrealistic, poetic, romantic and pornographic, with with protagonists who came on crackers and got blowjobs under rainbows while complaining about their bleeding hearts. "There is no wrong way to fuck a girl with no legs," Green sang. I can't say the thoguth ever occurred to me. No one ever said originality was pretty.

    BEN KWELLER & BRENDAN BENSON @ VIRGIN MEGASTORE ON SATURDAY!!!! I'm def. going. :)
    Speaking of Ben... The funniest thing I've ever seen.

    Ha! I took the Hipster Quiz and I was 76% hipster.
    That's hilarious cos I'm def. not one.

    How good is Seven Nation Army????
    Go Jack & Meg!

    Song of the Day: Have A Good Sleep - Hot Hot Heat

    Wake up! You do have a way words -at least with me- unfortunately.
    Please tell me this means what I think it does -but secretly- so he won't see.
    My dear, I fear that your scandal has corrupted many -disrupted many- anyway.
    Have a good sleep on your own. Have a good sleep all alone.
    Tape up your fingers they're bleeding now, so knock less hard. Wait patiently.
    Useless -they're useless excuses. So unnecessary -but not with me.
    Holding on, though I don't why. Holding on to your lullabye. My love is gone, but not for long.

    Did everyone catch Beck yesterday??? Cuteness. Beckster will be on Letterman on Monday.

    So The Libertines cancelled their US dates but they'll still be touring Europe. It makes a lot of sense.

    Oh, I want to go to the Q&A session w/ Kevin Spacey... I wonder if I can still get tickets.

    Just for you... You know who you are.

    Playground Love - Air

    I'm a high school lover, and you're my favorite flavor
    Love is all, all my soul
    You're my Playground Love

    Yet my hands are shaking
    I feel my body remains, themes no matter, I'm on fire
    On the playground, love.

    You're the piece of gold the flushes all my soul.
    Extra time, on the ground.
    You're my Playground Love.

    Anytime, anyway,
    You're my Playground Love.

    The Calendar Hung Itself - Bright Eyes

    Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head?
    And does he sing to you incessantly from the place between your bed and wall?
    Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes?
    Looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you.
    Does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched and does he cry through broken sentences like I love you far too much?
    Does he lay awake listening to your breath?
    Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes.
    Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?
    For every speck of tile there are a thousand more that you won�t ever see but most hold inside yourself eternally.
    I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death. In every city, memories would whisper, Here is where you rest.
    I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees and I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine.
    You are my sunshine, my only sunshine I kissed a girl with a broken jaw that her father gave to her.
    She had eyes bright enough to burn me. They reminded me of yours.
    In a story told she was a little girl in a red-rouge, sun-bruised field and there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed. And it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands.
    And it stretched for centuries to a diary entry�s end where I wrote, You make me happy when the skies are gray You make me happy the skies are gray and gray and gray.
    Well the clock�s heart it hangs inside its open chest with its hands stretched towards the calendar hanging itself but I will not weep for those dying days.
    For all the ones who have left there are a few that stayed. And they found me here and pulled me from the grass where I was laid.

    So I really can't sleep b/c my nose is killing me....
    I've taken a Nyquil but it doesn't seem to be workin'
    Anyways, I found something funny.... this is a song by a band called The Ergs.

    Ben Kweller (M. Yannich)

    I wish I were Ben Kweller
    Cause he writes those cool tunes
    And he uses those cool minor chords
    And you love the way he croons
    You love the way he plays guitar and the way he blows his harp
    If I were Ben Kweller I know I could win your heart

    I wish I were Ben Kweller
    Then I could be with you
    Cause he knows Juliana, girl And Evan Dando too
    He used to be in Radish Your favorite alternative band
    If I were Ben Kweller I know I could hold your hand

    I'd sit outside your window
    And sing the song that goes Sha Sha, Sha Doo
    Cause I wanna be with you

    I wish I were Ben Kweller
    Cause he writes those cool tunes
    And he uses those cool minor chords
    And you love the way he croons
    He used to be in Radish Your favorite sugar-metal band
    If I were Ben Kweller I know I could hold your hand

    Pic of the Day: Supergrass

    Phew... just in time for Supergrass on Conan!
    Gaz & Co. rock still rock the monkey's uncle. (maybe b/c they are related to him. haha.)
    I'm soo mad their Roxy shows are SOLD OUT!! Poo to that.
    Gaz reminds me of Benicio Del Toro for some reason... maybe the cold is affecting my brain.

    So the Phantom Planet show was AWESOME!!! I'm a big fan of The Like now as well.
    I'm exhausted so I think I'll watch the French Kicks on Last Call and go to bed.
    I'm extremely sick as well.... but at least I'm happy, going to gigs make me happy. ***sniff sniff***

    Coldplay on Jay Leno on Monday! Whoo Hoo. So it's official. Coldplay @ The Hollywood Bowl. May 31. $46. People...I have no money!!! Help!!!

    So, I guess I was the only person who didn't know that The Walkmen were on the car commercial....

    The Music's official site has lots of pictures. Check out the pic of Phil with long hair. It's hilarious, but I still love him.

    This is for you Chris. Little Bunny Foo Foo.... You rock my world. Thank you for the stories and the bunnies.

    "There's more to life than being really really good looking." Yes, I've watched Zoolander like 10 times in the past few weeks. I'm really awake now cos I took a reeeaally long nap. So I figured I'd sit and type. I just talked to my friend from high school. I hadn't talked to her in a while so that was nice. She goes to Yaley and it's like 4am there so she finally went to bed. She knew someone who cut herself. She tried to help her. But she still does. She was one of those pretty, intelligent girls and everyone loved her. I sort of knew her as well but you wouldn't think that she would do anything like that. I don't know why she does it but she says that she is fine. She is not. Personally, I understand why people self-mutilate themselves but I don't feel that it's necessary. I know someone who's had depression. She didn't go to school for about 5 years. I've been friends w/ her since kindergarten. She was perfectly normal up until her parents got divorced. It's sad how these events can affect you so much. She has no social skills and she can't talk to anyone unless, it's a letter or an e-mail. When she finally went to school, she fell in love with a boy, she is anorexic now. I've tried to help her but since I am not at home all the time, it's hard. I want her to go back to her old self. I think she's beautiful just the way she is. Compared to a lot of people I have been fortunate. I do not really have any problems. I am happy. I have a wonderful family and I have my lovely weird friends even though, I might not be able to see them. I'm really concerned for someone right now. I've become really close with him. He is one of my best friends b/c we are practically the same person although we grew up in a totally different environment. He is a very talented artist and a wonderful person. I have a lot of respect for him and I love him as friend. I know you have a problem. You would probably think I'm being self-righteous but I'm not. I hope you will be able to talk about it because I know you want to and I want to help you

    This is the first time, I've written something serious on this... It's kinda weird. But I had to...

    Words of brilliance by the Peaches...

    Nothing Came Out
    Just because I don't say anything,
    Doesn't mean I don't like you.
    I open my mouth and I try and i try
    But no words came out.

    Without 40 oz. of social skills
    I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity.
    I'm just a huge manitee.
    A huge manitee.

    And besides you're probably holding hands
    With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
    Talk about bands and
    All I wana do is ride bikes with you
    And stay up late and watch cartoons.

    Duck Tales, shirt tails, Talespin, Sailor Moon, GI Joe, Robotech, Ron Jeremy, Schmoo.

    I wanna watch cartons with you.
    Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Do,
    I want you to watch cartoons with me.
    He-man, Voltron and Hong-Kong-Fui

    I tried to ask you to your face
    But no words came out.
    I put on my hood and walked away,
    That doosn't mean I don't like you.

    And besides your probably holding hands
    With some skinny, pretty girl that likes to
    Talk about bands and
    All I wanna do is ride bikes with you,
    And stay up late and maybe spoon.

    Just becase I dont say anything
    Doesn't mean I dont like you.
    No...
    I opened my mouth and i tried and i tried.

    And besides you're probably holding hands
    With some skiny, pretty girl that likes to
    Talk about bands and
    All I wanna do is ride bikes with you.
    And stay up late and watch cartoons.

    I'm just your average Thundercats ho.

    Pic of the Day: Adam Green in his lurrvely outfit.
    Song of the Day: Anybody Else But You - The Moldy Peaches (yes, I'm infatuated w/ them. well, Adam in particular)

    Anyone Else But You
    You're a part time lover
    And a full time friend
    The monkey on your back is the lastest trend
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    I kiss you on the brain
    In the shadow of the train
    I kiss you all starry-eyed
    My body swings from side to side
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    Here is the church and here is the steepl
    We sure are cute for two ugly people
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    Pebbles forgive me
    The trees forgive me
    So why can't you forgive me?
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    I will find my niche in your car
    With my mp3, DVD, rumble-pack, guitar
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    do do do-do do do-do do do do

    Up up down down right left right left B A start
    Just because we use cheats doesn't mean we're not smart
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    You are always trying to keep it real
    I'm in love with how you feel
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    We both have shiny, happy, fits of rage:
    You want more fans,
    I want more stage.
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    Don Quixote was a steel-driving man,
    My name is Adam
    I'm your biggest fan
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    You squinched up your face and did a little dance
    Shook a little turd out of the bottom of you pants
    I don't see what anyone can see in anyone else but you

    do do do-do do do-do do do do

    But you...
