Stream Belle And Sebastian’s “The Life Pursuit” From The Blogosphere | (0)
Insert lengthy diatribe about the wonderful Belle And Sebastian band and how the album is the best new release of 2006 so far. Follow it up with something about how they've grown more diverse and less depressed as they've gotten older. Mash up something about new record being downright groovy, bearing stonerific bisexual anthemic allegiance to Minnie Ripperton, The Byrds, T-Rex, The Supremes, The Rolling Stones in '66 and Petula Clark, turn volume on full, and begin to bounce head repeatedly and excitedly. Tell the kids that you love B&S, then publish the review with a high-bandwidth ...

Petition To Rename Our Newspaper ?The Conservative Appeal? From The Blogosphere | (0)
I remember when my father used to, jokingly, call our local morning paper “The Comical Appeal”. Now that I’ve seen their recent handiwork, I’ve been outraged, like many progressives in Memphis, about the Commercial Appeal’s downward spiral into a conservative rag, frequently and openly portraying itself in a way that makes it unfit even to perforate and place on a roll for appropriate usage. Autoegocrat over at The Flypaper Theory reprinted the cover of Monday’s C.A. for everyone to see, along with a fairly accurate commentary about how the paper has devolved into a candidly biased and ...

?TV Junkie? Appears To Be A Contender At This Year?s Sundance From The Blogosphere | (0)
Ok, so I haven’t been updating. Sue me. I’ve been resting and catching up on movies from the past year that I missed so forgive me if I haven’t just been sitting breathlessly at the internet waiting to type. Quality versus quantity is my motto, and with that in mind I want to tantalize you about a new film that sounds totally amazing. TV Junkie is a gripping and painfully honest documentary about Rick Kirkham, the former “Inside Edition” reporter who meticulously collected thousands of hours of video footage from his own life starting at the ...

HI I?m Live Blogging From The Golden Globes! From The Blogosphere | (0)
…..in Cookie’s living room. Geena Davis just told a funny story, she is wearing red. I laughed. We are eating pizza, Cookie and I are trying to keep our eyes open after the most torturous commercial ever filmed in the history of commercials. Sandra Oh gave a touching accceptance speech for her role on Grey’s Anatomy, I even teared up a bit. Reese Witherspoon’s dress makes the thing Bjork wore at the Academy awards four years ago look more like true high fashion, ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Lackawanna Blues got stiffed for the ...

Hey Writers! Join The Million Lie March on Insanity: First JT, Now James Frey? From The Blogosphere | (0)
The Smoking Gun yesterday blew the lid off another literary scandal. Apparently fictionalizing your entire life story into something worse than what it is has become the new chic, completely unbeknownst to me. James Frey, author of A Million Little Pieces is, according to TSG, fabricating or wildly overstating large portions of his life story. The book has sold over 3.5 million copies since Oprah Winfrey included it as an official selection of “Oprah’s Book Club”. Hell, even my roommate Jen told me just the other day what an incredible book it was, and ...

JT Leroy: A Work Of Complete And Utter Fiction From The Blogosphere | (0)
For many years, I was understandably allured by the, by all accounts, fictional and mystical novel Sarah, a story about a boy who grows up living the life of a “lot lizard” working the truck stops of West Virginia. I was equally disturbed and touched by The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things, a story of an abusive relationship between mother and child that goes beyond explanation here. There was the Yahoo! group called Terminator2 which I joined in hopes to learn more about the author. There were two films, one of which was finished and one ...

Andrew Jackson, All I’m Asking:Show Us The Wheel And Give Us The Wine From The Blogosphere | (0)
So here I sit in Nashville with my dear friend Cookie. We are trying to out geek each other by literally sitting laptop to laptop, both IM-ing, updating, reading emails. It’s a very class act, let me tell you. I’ll be here for a couple of days doing a commercial for some car company or something. I don’t know, I only know I get to be here with Cookie and her kitty cat Kinsey for a few days. Although, truth be told, we will be off doing the commercial so much I’m sure this is ...

What I Listened To The Most From 2005 From The Blogosphere | (0)
Ok, I know, I know. I haven't been around nearly as much in the last half of the year as some of you would like. Besides working on two movies and a commercial, I've had a slough of other things going on. Does that mean I stop listening to music? Hardly.2005 has been one of the best years in recent memory for new music. Putting together a best-of list for the year has been a daunting and frequently difficult task, honestly. I want to thank the readers for sticking with us through the curves ...

I hate lists From The Blogosphere | (0)
I'm not big on lists, which is probably why I'm constantly forgetting stuff at the grocery store. Regardless, here's a list of some of my favorite songs that I DJ'd in 2005. They're not all from 2005, but how many of us strictly listened to only albums released in 2005 last year?gogogo airheart - When The Flesh Hits These guys were doing dance funk and dub before you were listening to Incubus.Chromatics - HealerThe sweet scent of fresh flesh in a mesh dress.Glass Candy - Life After SundownI NEED Glass Candy to play my birthday party. ...
