A place for me to share my musings on music, entertainment as an industry, and the cultural Zeitgeist at large...
Yeah, that and a way for me to bitch about why my album isn't out yet! :P
...about 10 miles away from me in a few hours (at the HOB Anaheim), and it is so sad to me not that I wasn't able to get tickets, but that I just don't care as much as I used to. I mean, don't get me wrong, Brit always will be my ultimate idol, but until she gives me a reason to obsess again, I simply will not be obsessed. Problem solved *brushes hands clean I also truly cannot decide whether her absolute REFUSAL to break the 4th wall during her performances either intrigues or infuriates me; on one hand, I understand that it is part of her theatricality, and that by remaining distant, seperate from the audience she maintains a certain mystique, but on the other hand I absolutely HATE standing a few feet from an artist in concert, giving them just as much energy as they are giving me (if not more, in Brit's case), trying EVERYTHING you can do just to get a mere glance in your direction (knowing damn well she can see you), and feeling completely dejected as she ignores you...grr
...Can you tell I am still a bit bitter about my only Britney concert experience? (Little Rock, Arkansas, Dream Within a Dream Tour).
sigh
This clip of her show last night in San Diego doesn't seem to be quite as common on the internet postings right now, and it is a bit longer than the other one;
Quick question for you all, were I to release my album on my own, purely hypothetical, independent label, what should I name such a record label? :P
Corey suggested Hoboshique Records as an homage to my personal clothing style, but other than that I am a bit stumped.
Again guys, STRIIIIIIIIICTLY hypothetical...I swear...
Wink wink ;)
So this video changed my life today. Martin De Thurah will officially be directing every video I ever make
My brethren, we gather here today to discuss the beauty, the complexity, the fine-tuned tact and subtle comedy that is Strangers With Candy.
I was first exposed to the genius of Amy Sedaris and crew a little over a year ago, and my life has truly never been the same. Like a fine wine, the short-lived Comedy Central series gets progressively better with age it seems.
The series, in summation, is about a woman in her late forties who (after a life of drugs and deliquency) returns to finish the life she so eagerly left behind in her youth and re-enrolls in her old high school; the aptly named, Flatpoint High (a name that, in a way, sums up the entire series' brand of humour).
If you have never indulged, I urge you to run, not walk, to the nearest Borders and buy the entire series on DVD, you will be ever thankful for my recommendation I promise!
Tried to find some more clips on Youtube, but this is all I could find!
And don't worry, I'll get to all of that music hoohah tomorrow or something :)
Here is the trailer for the not-quite-as-hilarious, but-still-darn-funny movie
and just to show you that she does not, in reality, look like the crypt-keeper's daughter, here is a rather delightful little clip of dear Ms. Sedaris hawking her book on Amazon.com
and here is the infamous PSA clip that inspired the character, Jerri Blank...you will not believe this woman
Well that is all for today folks, I promise some music-related news here tomorrow and perhaps a little more insight into the crazy, crazy world of Simon Curtis :P
So as you all can clearly read, I, Simon Curtis, purveyor of pop and stalwart slayer of salacious smut (not really, just wanted to say that :) have decided to make the foray into the world of blogging. To what ends this will lead, if any, I do not know. I can say, however, that I vow to at least make daily attempts at entertaining the poor saps who happen to stumble upon this den of depravity, and try to thoroughly reshape the landscape of their minds...
...so in the meantime here is some other shit I wrote for Paul over at my beloved Zapping, not to mention a stellar video of my idol that I am sure you have all seen a hundred thousand times, but I just can never seem to get enough of it...plus the most disgusting thing you'll ever see (and NO the Britney video and that one are two seperate things!)
And maybe if you're good I'll throw in a little Whitney Houston commercial that just gets me every time :P
BAHAHAHAHA no matter how many times I see that, I just can't ever seem to get enough
"My Jawl hurts"
"You ever have butterbeans?"
"You ever seen Back to The Futures? You believe in that? Ti-time trakspeedtravel?"
Just absolutely too much to list
Now HERE is THE SINGLEMOST DISGUSTING THING YOU SHALL EVER SEE IN YOUR LIFE, and the reason why I refuse to eat at the restaurants in my neighborhood! :P
Here she is, the diva herself, promoting her upcoming classics collection, ladies and gentleman, I give you the one, the only, Ms. Whitney Houston;
