A mere week ago I was a lowly unknown blogger with dreams of being discovered for my cunning wit and keen observations on pop culture. I mean really, there just weren't enough people talking about indie rock and the exploits of Britney Spears. Thanks to an undemanding day job, I was able to fill that void with daily posts for almost a year. But now that too has left me feeling empty, so I’ve

All the links below now take you to the trailers for these movies since a lot of the ones opening this week I haven’t really heard much about. Plus it’s foggy here this morning, and I love watching trailers on a foggy day. Opening this Week Exorcist the Beginning I’d rather watch the E! True Hollywood Story behind the filming of the Original Exorcist. Mean Creek This is Rory Culkin (Macaulay

According to Amoeba staffers, the Rilo Kiley instore last night brought in more people than PJ Harvey, Queens of the Stone Age, Franz Ferdinand, and anyone else they have ever had perform there. I had no idea the buzz on this band was this big already. If you don’t already know who Rilo Kiley is, you soon will. The band sounded great, the new songs are already classics, and Jenny Lewis is the

Monday, 8/16 The Music @ Troubadour This band really needs to change their name. Gram Rabbit @ Echo PJ Harvey @ Knitting Factory She is also performing on Tuesday, but of course, both of these nights are sold out. Tuesday, 8/17 Rilo Kiley instore @ Amoeba Their new album is easily one of my favorite albums of the year. Liz Phair/The Cardigans @ House of Blues Wednesday, 8/18 Liz

Opening this Week Alien vs. Predator My money’s on the Predator just because he reminds me of Boba Fett. The Princess Diaries 2 What’s the difference between this and the Hillary Duff movie? Yu-Gi-Oh! I think it’s a Pokemon spin-off type thing. We Don’t Live Here Anymore (Limited) The cast is great (Mark Ruffalo, Peter Krauss, Naomi Watts and Laura Dern), it won at Sundance, and

So I said I was going to give a recap of my first trip out to the great Mid-West, but this week has gotten away from me so I’m only getting to it now. At this point, if you know me, I’ve pretty much given you all the details which included getting laid over in Chicago, traveling around and in Detroit, seeing old friends, meeting new friends, and wishing someone a Happy Birthday. Basically, it

Some of you might be familiar with the Billions Booking Agency. They book tours for some really great bands such as Idlewild, The Standard, New Pornographers, Sea Ray, and Wire. I’m mentioning them because one of their agents lost their house in a fire this past Friday because of arson. Below is the full story with ways to help her, her husband, and young son who lost pretty much everything

UPDATE: Unplugging Bush just got a little more affordable. Tickets to the ReDefeat Bush fundraiser tonight featuring Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Michelle Shocked + more is now $22.50 opposed to $50. Buy them here. PJ Harvey is doing an instore performance at Amoeba this Thursday. You’ll want to get there early. Show starts at 7pm. (Thanks Mo for the tip). Also, a zombie movie is being

Late update because I was actually expected to work this morning. The nerve. More later on my first trip to the D. Monday, 8/9 Gram Rabbit @ The Echo It’s a monthly residency kind of thing so if you miss this week there is always the next one… and the one after that… and the one after that.

Opening this Week Collateral I’m pretty sure this entire movie is about Tom Cruise having white hair. Little Black Book It’s a movie about a palm pilot, but Little Black Palm Pilot doesn’t have as nice of a ring to it. Open Water (Limited Release) This one is about two scuba divers who get accidentally stranded in shark-infested waters when their tour boat leaves them behind. This sounds

Monday, 8/2 Gram Rabbit @ The Echo Someone was just telling me about this band and how I should check them out, so now I’m passing along that message to you. Elefant/Ambulance LTD @ El Rey This is the show to see tonight. The Hives/Sahara Hotnights @ Henry Fonda You forget how good this band is until you see them live again. This is the first of two nights at the Fonda. And it’s only fitting

Opening this Week The Village It must be tough to continue to surprise your audience once you become known for directing movies with plot twists. Garden State (NY/LA) I’m really hoping this lives up to the hype. I would hate to have to dislike a film with such a great name. The Manchurian Candidate People are talking Oscar… Thunderbirds What the heck is Ben Kingsley doing in this crappy

The Amish are America’s punch line. They’re a little sect that somehow still exists, despite the rest of America trying to “save” them from themselves. We joke about them, look down upon them, and at times, pity them. But then we put them on a television show with some of us regular “city kids,” and who looks foolish? Yup, we do. It’s the classic switcheroo, where you think you are going to

Because they pass on nuggets of wisdom like this: "You can know the cost of your watch or your car, but if you're looking for value, that's not the place to look. There's value in friends, having a kind demeanor, keeping a positive outlook on life, being a good person, and watching any episode of 21 Jump Street in which Hanson and Penthall go undercover as the McQuaid brothers... just something

Opening this Week The Bourne Supremacy Who knew the first one was successful enough to garner a sequel? UPDATE: The Bourne Supremacy was the #1 vhs and dvd rental title of 2003. (thanks to MDG for the tip). I guess that warrants a sequel. Catwoman They picked a good weekend to put out a mediocre movie. There isn’t much competition, and all the comic book freaks already saw Spiderman 2.

I went to a premiere party last night for the MTV show “The Assistant.”  Defamer has the story here.  After going home, I watched Entourage for the first time.  I hated it.  Watching that show after going to the Andy Dick party was like the opening scene of the Goonies where Corey “Mouth” Feldman is watching a car chase on TV and his father tells him to turn it off, but when he does he continues

Rupert Murdoch says that not only isn't he interested in trying to match Sony's reported $5-billion offer for MGM, but he can't understand why anyone else would, either.  Um, haven’t you heard of a little film called Bubba Ho-tep?  That’s worth 1 billion, easy.  Its tagline is “The King of Rock vs. The King of the Dead,” which basically says it all.  Zombies and Elvis?  It doesn’t get any better

At the Chuck Palahniuk Q&A last night, Chuck P revealed that Trent Reznor will be working on the music for the Fight Club musical. Scott doesn’t think this is will actually happen, though. Now I love Trent, NIN, Fight Club and the occasional musical for that matter, but the idea of combining all these things makes me slightly apprehensive.

No, the people getting married weren’t Amish, but the groom is from the middle of nowhere Pennsylvania, somewhere next to the place that time forgot.

Method Man is charismatic. The Simple Life should be a full hour. I just saved a bundle on my car insurance by switching to Geico. Blow Out on Bravo is my new favorite show. Syndication is a beautiful thing. DeLovely wasn’t that good of a movie, even though it has bi-sexuality, loss of a leg, and cameos by Robbie Williams, Alanis Morissette, Elvis Costello and Diana Krall. (This I found

This weekend was emotional. First things first, Jess left LA. Now I have to go to the bathroom alone. Second, I saw two movies: Fahrenheit 9/11 and The Notebook. Fahrenheit was as good as everyone says it was. No one can deny that Michael Moore is one of the best documentary filmmakers of our time, but please, all you tree hugging hippies (which I consider myself one of), watch this film

So the line outside the century city mall for Bill Clinton's book signing is at 4500 people. INSANE. They are expecting another 3000 to show up, even though only 1000 are going to get their copies signed. People came prepared too, equipped with lawn chairs and umbrellas. I wanted to talk to them about why they are in line, what they thought of the book, etc., but Chris wasn’t having it. So

David Bowie was recently pelted with a Lollipop while performing in Norway, and the sucker got STUCK in his eye! It happened 20 minutes into his set. Some concertgoer threw the lolli at Bowie and the stick got stuck in-between his left eyeball and his eyelid. (Note: It’s the same eye that is permanently dilated because of a childhood fight.) According to Norwegian press, Bowie started

Went to a screening of the Metallica documentary, Some Kind of Monster, last night thanks to the roomie Mo. It was showing as part of the LA Film Festival at the John Anson theater, which is an out-door venue just off of Mulholland Dr., tucked at the base of the Hills, and probably the most serene place to see a film ever. The crowd was a mix of fans, film industry types in town for the

While driving into work this morning, I saw a handmade sign taped to a pole right near the Beverly Center (it’s a mall) that said the following: Missing: $40,000 Spent on shoes: Malono Blahnik, Jimmy Cho, Prada… etc. Can you sympathize? The sign had tear away contact info at the bottom, kind of like the ones you see when someone is selling something or posting about their garage sale. The

First off you should read the article in today’s Wall Street Journal about hybrid automobiles (subscription required). Since gas prices look like they may never drop, you might want to make your next car an environmentally friendly one. And if that doesn’t sell you, then well, I drove to Vegas and back on one tank of gas in mine. Second, the band The Fire-Ups have the best promotional band

While typing away in cubical-land this morning, it sounded like a parade was going on outside my building. It turned out to be the Olympic torch. I didn’t even know that was happening right now, let alone in my neighborhood.

If someone ever asked me what Vegas is like, I would say it is the kind of town where you can see a 70-year old woman hunched over a garbage can, waiting to throw up, and refusing to take the cigarette out of her mouth until the very last second. Basically, it’s awesome. Monday, 6/14 Modest Mouse on Jimmy Kimmel. This was supposed to be on Friday, but I heard that it’s tonight instead.

This morning, they had a new one from Rilo Kiley on, whose lyrics made stop what was I was doing and listen closer to the song.

Since I’ve been very vocal about my obsession with the undead (or is it dead?), people from time to time send me things that are related to zombies.

I don’t know what it is about The Stills that makes me so crazy, but I get around them or their music and I just go insane. I went to the show tired and lifeless. I left wired and ready to go to the next show. Which I did. But I’m getting ahead of myself… back to the Stills. They were tight, captivating, and seemed to have made the transition from small clubs to theaters well. Emily Haines

Morrissey has decided that Bush should have died instead of Regan.

While I loves me some Harvey Danger (so much more than a one hit wonder), part of The Long Winters' brilliance was the chemistry between frontman John Rodderick and Sean.

Went out last night, and had a little run in with the LAPD, thanks to the pursuit of the ever elusive free parking in Hollywood. My friend, who will remain nameless, was driving. We had just left the Standard Hotel downtown because the Fader party was boring, and decided to meet up with some friends at Nacional and check out the Death from Above after party at Star Shoes. To preface, my friend

Some awesome Billboard charting this week: Modest Mouse up 11 spots to #23, Franz Ferdinand up 42 spots to #65. Tell me blogs had nothing to do with this. Go on, tell me. Kerry (John Kerry, not me) and Nader to meet. Kerry said he is not looking to talk anyone out of running for President, though he does intend on targeting Nader supporters with his campaign.

So I went to the Ben Lee show last night, and though he was good, The Like just blew him off the stage. Watch for them. They’re like the Go-Gos meeting Sleater Kinney at the junior prom. But, back to Ben Lee… He did a cover of Modest Mouse’s “Float On.” That was pretty cool, and inspired a sing along to the original while driving home with friends. He also finished with a song that had

The party was fun. Thanks for all 3 million of you for showing up. Loved the drinks some of you brought: Country Club 40’s, Bahama Mama Breezers (the only drink that was left funnily enough), and boxed wine brought by the one and only Jess Blueprint which was taken from its box at one point and squeezed into various people’s mouths like a medicine bag. Yes, we were a classy bunch. Things

Since when do you let people decide your opinions for you? Top of the Box (Office) Van Helsing I’d still rather see a movie about zombies. Mean Girls It’s no 13 Going on 30. Man on Fire I’m tired of

I went to the premiere of Saved! last night, though I had promised myself I was going to go straight home from work. I caved at the last minute and went. I think it was the free popcorn that put me over the edge. Anywho, I was really excited to see Macaulay Culkin. Ever since Party Monster, I’ve wanted to be his best friend, which probably marked the most welcome comeback since John

I woke up late for work, not because I went out last night, but because I had some vicious zombie dreams. Yes, I’m still dreaming about a zombie invasion. When will this madness end? I get told by IT that I’m no longer allowed to listen to KEXP while at work. WTF?! At least I’m not banned from Whatevs… yet. My cousin Bobby sent me this link.

The Supersuckers’ cover of Hey Ya just played on KEXP. Yet another reason why that station rules. KEXP makes me proud to have never changed my cell phone number from a Seattle area code to a LA one, though I’ve already lived here twice as long. They are also in the middle of their pledge drive, so do the right thing and donate. And since those in the blogosphere seem to like the sauce, here’s

U.S. Rep. Pete Stark shows his lack of class by phoning up Staff Sgt. Dan Dow, a member of the National Guard, who faxed in a letter to show his disapproval of the legislator's recent vote against a resolution condemning the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. In this already infamous voicemail, Stark accused the Sgt. Dow of not being able to spell or write his own letter. No word yet on whether or not

Changing your template is the new pouring your beer over you head. Seems to me that Ultra started both of these trends. McDonald’s reveals “adult happy meal,” which is a salad and some exercise tips. Sounds like a desperate act of a dying food chain reminiscent of Kentucky Fried Chicken only referring to itself as KFC ever since we learn that fried food isn’t good for you. It’s weird to

I could get all philosophical about my visit home and the marriage of my best friend. I could tell you how weird it is to see her pregnant and visiting her new home that she just bought with her new husband. But that’s not interesting to you. It’s not even interesting to me. It is what it is. But going home and having a virtual high school reunion at the local bar with people you haven’t

Opening this Week Van Helsing: Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale star in this ultimate good vs. evil showdown. Dracula, Wolf Man, and Frankenstein star. Hhhmm… sounds really similar to the 1980’s hit The Monster Squad. Remember that one? “Wolfman’s got nards!” I think I’ll just watch that instead on VHS.

Man has 6 nails shot into head with a nail gun and survives. I’m speechless. The x-ray shot is worth clicking through to the link. There is some sitcom ending tonight. I can’t remember which one it is, but I think it might be Everyone Loves Raymond. I don’t know.

I just saw Ashton "I'm really 30" Kutcher shooting something on Vine and Santa Monica. I was in my car, driving to a record label that will remained unnamed to pick up some shoes from a friend. Traffic slowed due to some filming. At closer inspection, there was Ashton, outside some restaurant type looking building taking directions from the director. The light turned green, and I had to go.

FOWSSI heard on Kroq this morning that Mischa Barton was getting rep for being a diva and a brat and that she was spotted rolling around with her boyfriend at "a Coachella party" after a massive public fight. Me thinks someone at Kroq reads blogs. In other related Coachella news… I finally got some pictures to post courtesy of Uncle Grambo. Enjoy. Here is a Grambo sandwich. Stacy’s on the

I’m starting to understand why David Hasselhoff is so popular in Germany. (must click on the David link for a really awesome video.) Check out their form of entertainment. Rumor is these kids will be headlining Coachella next year.

Where to begin? I kind of alluded to the fun that was had on Thursday meeting Mark and Damore for the first time in person, seeing Snow Patrol on Kimmel, and staying out too late the night before the Coachella festivities. But on Friday night, we kicked it up a notch and turned a bad party into one of the best times ever. See Filter has this kick-off party every year, and usually they are good

Also, Ryan tells me that Ian Mackaye's new band The Evens are playing tonight at Self Help Graphics fresh off their performance from Coachella. He describes them as Fugazi unplugged.

Monday, 5/3 The Stills in-store @ Tower Records in Sherman Oaks (8pm) I actually still want to go to this though I know I shouldn’t since I’m working on 3 hours of sleep and don’t even have my bed set up in my new apartment.

I think I used it all up last night with Uncle Grambo, Damore, Jessica Jazz, and of course, Nate, my new best-friend-forever. Note to self: kidnapping band members is a lot of fun, but better done on a non-school night. I hope to reacquaint myself with my old friend sleep, but now that

Opening this week Mean Girls I think Tina Fey wrote this. If so, then it can’t be too bad. If not, expect stupid-yet-enjoyable teen movie. Laws of Attraction “Two New York City divorce lawyers (Moore and Brosnan) breach upon love -- after waking up married to one another.” (from IMDB) Since when do sitcom plots become feature length movies?

But what the heck is Knoxville, TN doing on there? Matthew, explain! In more LA-is-awesome news, we’ve got a terror alert in our Westside malls. (Blueprint wrote about this first).

It’s weird having a presidential candidate who’s last name is your first name. I read headlines like “Defending Kerry,” “Kerry Blasts Bush,” “Mrs. Kerry’s Secrecy,” and “Kerry's Secret Sauce,” and can’t help but laugh because I think about what these articles would really say if there about me and not John Kerry. “Defending Kerry” I imagine would be something along the lines of a retort to
