Um, you should all go see Hot Fuzz. It makes me love Simon Pegg even more, as if that were even humanly possible...

Sooo funny. I can't even add to this journal, I'm still laughing from too many scenes. There is nothing I love more than blood, guts, blowing shit up and zombies. British comedies might just be the best thing ever.

I feel like watching my complete series dvd of the BBC version of The Office, but I have to go to work in an hour. Sadness.

FYI: I have never seen an episode of Lost, Grey's Anatomy, The Office (American version), America's Next Top Model or Desperate Housewives. Maybe I am sheltered, I don't really watch TV.

So one of my good friends Erica works at a CD store in Toronto, Canada...and guess who freakin' came into her work today?

MICHAEL CERA - aka GEORGE MICHAEL BLUTH!

Ahhhhhh, I am tres jealous. I would have become super fan and asked him to quote some of my fave AD lines for me.

Amazing story #2: I definitely helped a transvestite pick out cute high heels at work on Wednesday. It is amazing moments like this that make up my life. Thank you. *bows*

Ok ok, crazy music post about to commence.

First off, I was looking through my parents cds yesterday and my father owns every Talking Heads, Blondie, Tom Waits & Clash cd produced. Even all solo projects related to those bands. Listen to your parents, they have awesome taste and you might not even know it!

Secondly, has anyone else heard Amy Winehouse? I LOVE her. She is like a soulful Lily Allen, kinda. Her songs remind me of old school motown music, I am totally hooked on her album. Go download it or buy it...whatever you do, just listen to it. Current favorite tracks: "Rehab" & "Me & Mr. Jones" - I mean honestly, anyone who namedrops Slick Rick in a song gets my vote.

I MAY be interviewing Say Anything in a few weeks when they play in Boston. It's not set in stone yet, but I will at least have a photo pass to take pictures of their set thanks to the lovely people at Vagrant Records. Super nice people, super sweet label.

Bright Eyes is playing a couple of nights at Town Hall at the exact same time I'll be in NYC..hmm, tempting. I haven't listened to the new record yet. I've heard mixed things.

Oh yeah, check out www.myspace.com/gregoryandthehawk - I really love her voice. It's one girl playing all the instruments and singing, very cool. I might be interviewing her soon as well, since G&TH have a full-length coming out next month. Hotttt.

Super excited for the new Wilco, Feist, Charlotte Gainsbourg & Ryan Adams cds coming out soon.

So, you internerds....I need YOUR help. I have a website, and pretty much I'm thinking a namechange for my .com is needed. I've been interviewing/photographing bands for about 5 years, since I was in high school, and I think it's time a cool, snazzy name was utilized. Originally, I didn't want to put "[my name].com" 'cause my last name isn't spelt like you say it - so that would be confusing and most people wouldn't get the address right. So, I used a lame nickname my friends gave me but I'm pretty tired of it. Brainstorm for me kids, anyone got suggestions? Something cool so I can be the next pitchforkmedia.com only WAY less pretentious. ;) Hahahah. But no seriously, something that will stick in peoples heads...and nothing cliche and emo sounding like "Bleeding Heartz" or that, people really do name websites that...and they suck more because of it. So yeah, something neat...think pitchforkmedia.com or like ohmyrockness.com - lemme know! I'm terrible at naming things. :-/

This is totally for Erica & Jessica since I was going thru SUPER old pics on my site:

Monty Are I...aka MONTY'S FAN CLUB. Feb 2004. Old school suckas. I totally remember when they'd close every show with their Bon Jovi cover...

I'm sick of the rain we've been getting these past 2 days, it was GORGEOUS out this weekend. I rode my bike around for hours, I'd like the sun back please.

My bff and I totally splurged and paid $168 for 2 tickets to see Morrissey in June. Does this up our indie cred, hipsters? Hahahaha. Or are we sellouts for paying that much? Hmmmm... Joking, of course.

"The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me" has been out for almost 5 months now, and I still listen to it everyday. Srsly. I can't seem to ween myself off it, it's too good.

Reccomendation of the day since Erica Are I reminded me when I read her book talk: Go read The Book of Joe by Jonathan Tropper. Incredible. 100 pages in a sitting, I couldn't tear myself away. If you are like me and have been out of high school for a bit, you will totally relate.

Um, how dissapointing was Red Sox opening day? Curt Schilling has got to go. Whatever, I got a brand new Jason Veritek tee yesterday in honor of the new season. Best quote ever by my mother: "That's Red Sox nation, we have ONE bad game and everyone is all 'well there's always next year...'" Truth. We are ruthless. The Red Sox are like that one person you always come back to even though they treat you like shit, you still love them year after year. They rip your heart out and stomp on it, but sometimes they give back and it's those moments that make it worth it. Plus singing "Sweet Caroline" during 7th inning stretch at Fenway Park might just be one of my favorite things ever. Loveeees it.
