The Google and The Pea (brain)

Well Looky Here It seems even George W is a fan of 'the google'. I say, I say, this here inter-web thingy-majig is going to be huge. You might even go so far as to say it's the way of the future. Hotdog.

Song For Today: The Flaming Lips - You have to be joking (autopsy of the devil's brain)

The Killers and The Bravery Bury The Hatchet ...And just in time for The Bravery's upcoming record release. Phew. That is lucky (and convenient). At this point I feel we should ask ourselves "Do I care?" (Hint: The correct answer is no). It is a bit weird how people who are so similar always hate each other...You know, one media whore hating another. Call me old-fashioned, but I think they should settle this with a fight to the death. Huzzah.

Um..What else... I got nothing. Happy Halloween!!

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Turn Into



Because I feel like it today. Because sometimes it makes me feel better.

That's J.J To Y'all

The Spears baby has a name - and it's not Sutton Peirce as was previously rumoured. TMZ has got a hold of the birth certificate (pictured). I don't even want to know how they got it or if it's real, but apparently the new Spearderline kid is....Jayden James Federline. The fam calls him "J.J" awwww!

Good Lord! I hope he grows up to like fried food, stone-wash denim and Nascar. I kid, I kid. I'm sure it's a lovely name - Bless the little guy's cotton socks, I say. Y'all know he needs all the he'p he can git. Aiiiiiiight - that shit is wack. <-----that last bit was my street language for Daddy Federline, the rap superstar!

I'm so embarrassed for myself, right now. Why do I carry on with this rubbish? Actually, don't answer that.

YouTube YouSuck

Now that big business has taken over YouTube things just aren't as fun anymore. The party is over. It's just like when George W took over the United States....Yeah sure, it's just like that. YouTube is "pulling videos faster than a prostitute with Parkinson's, in a hand-job factory" ( at least that's how Alex Blagg from gawker put it - and it was such a wrong description that I just had to use it).

I can't believe they have taken down all the K-Fed on Leno videos. I can't believe that Mr Spears was important enough to warrant having his vid pulled. I can't believe that K-Fed has people who make this happen. It makes me lose faith in mankind - and I was one of the people who wanted the video. I feel so dirty! But, come on, it was hysterical in a 'so wrong it's right' kind of way.

I know you're a big rap star and everything but, BOO to you K-Fed; and HISS to you YouTube.

The Best Advice I Ever Gave...

...was to my friend upon reaching her 24th Birthday. It was, "Say no to K-Feds"! I'm just sayin' a lady has enough to deal with in the world of romance without a K-fed hanging around like, well like Kevin to Britney, really.

But to all my Brosephs and Brospehines....do treat yourself to this clip of Kevin Federline on the Jay Leno show. Another peice of sound advice: If you can stop laughing long enough to listen to the lyrics - you will be sick. So just keep on laughing.

God bless his cotton socks!

Different Strokes for Different Folks (or something)

The Strokes at New York show on the Oct 17








...And before...













Spot the difference!
Interesting haircut choice, no? Maybe he wants to join the red hot chilli peppers.

I guess you could say... 'What ever happened?' or I could "Take it or Leave it' or maybe he was Trying his Luck and it's 'Hard to Explain'. Don't worry, Mr bass-player, it will grow back 'Someday'. Oh I reckon I've got about a million bad strokes-related puns for this one.

Well "We all disagree, I think we should disagree. Yeah."

I really need to get some sleep, huh!

She's In Fashion

How about a 'best of' from the recent Spring/Summer runway collections?
Well okay then...

Alexander McQueen















To me it looks like a continuation of the theme he used in his autumn/winter collection, but with the addition of some colour and some of the new volume shapes. Very beautiful and the show styling is just breath-taking.

YSL

This collection was really strong and really wearable. I like how you can see a sort of 'bottom up' influence...you know where street-level culture has an influence on high fashion instead of the other way around.





There were heaps of other highlights, of course. A lot of people didn't - but I really liked Balenciaga...I even really liked those gold leggings and really want some. Anyway - you can check it all out on style.com

Regina Spektor - Fidelity

I know this song and video have been out for ages but I just felt like putting it up today.

I love the clip. I'm such a zebra...so it suits me perfectly. That's all.

Don't You Know Who I Think I Am!

I choose to beleive!

Check this out from theNew York Post, page six.

SIENNA SEIZUREOctober 12, 2006


-- SIENNA Miller continues to embarrass herself in Pennsylvania, where she's shooting "The Mysteries of Pittsburgh." Having apologized for referring to the city as "S - - - sburgh," she threw a fit Saturday night when she was thrown out of Penny Folino's Young's Tavern because she didn't have ID. "Sienna ripped off her hat and said, 'I am Sienna Miller. I am a famous actress!' " Folino told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Miller, denied her vodka and tonic, stewed outside for 30 minutes. Bouncer Dan Kovacs said, "She was going crazy out there, stomping her feet." Said Folino: "No ID, no entry - I'm sorry, we can't bend the rules for anybody."

I hope it's true cos it gives me ANOTHER opportunity to hate on her. Seriously Miller, you're a moron and most of your outfits are way off the mark. But most importantly you are not actually Edie Sedgewick, you tool. Take off the costume.

BTW do you like the pic I found. I just had to go there.

Wha'choo Talking About Willis

We've been talking a lot about guilty pleasures recently. They're so good and so embarrassing you wouldn't dare admit them in public. What's yours? Let it out.

We all have 'em. I may or may not have a bit of a thing for emo music. As in bad pop emo like, Panic! At The Disco and AFI. It's so fun and so camp how can you not want to sing it in your car at ear-drum bursting volume. I might (or might not) be really bummed that I can't see either of these bands live when they are in Australia as I would then have to admit to it (and spend a wad of cash on tickets).

I guess the emo thang ain't that bad or even that uncommon. But I swear as you get older they get worse and at the same time you have less and less shame. This must be why parents are never cool. I turned 24 the other week, which is getting into the scary 20's, and now I can't stop saying stuff like "Jeepers Creepers" and "Ah nuts".


Huh. What's this?


How did that get there? I have absolutely no idea how that happened!

Oh yeah, did I mention that I'm bringing sexy back! Shhhh.

Anyway, for real this week I've been listening to Ben Kweller and The Hold Steady and you should too. Also listen to this guy's myspace... Super prettiful, no?

Peace, Love and black side-swept fringes to y'all!

A Trap For Young Players

Here's a tip. Computers don't like to be dropped onto hard surfaces. I learned this (like everything else) the hard way when 3 weeks ago I dropped my computer on its face. It must have felt like one of Britneys chil'ren. Smack! I fractured it's LCD screen much like Sean Preston's skull.

But I'm back in action at last.

Shout out to Brit and the Spederline crew, especially Sutton Peirce. love.
