So I missed Chromeo last night, and cried a little because of it. OH! And if you missed Madame Bouffante's Burlesque Show...you should cry a lot because of it. Granted I am biased, since I was in it and all...but the performers worked hard and it showed. FOUR SOLD-OUT SHOWS! Big congrats to everyone involved...
Ok, now with all the shameless self-promotion and Wesnews out of the way, let's get on to the really important things happening in the world...
Ok, I don't watch The O.C. I'll admit that I'm the kind of person who would, but my lack of a TV prevents me to do so. May I just say that this moment is CLASSIC..."I can't believe Seth is missing his favorite band. You know, it's one thing blowing me off ... but blowing off Death Cab? This comic book has totally broken him."
Am I a bad person for wanting this? I mean, The Breakfast Club and other movies of the 80s are cinematic masterpieces. But...indie music covers? Am I also a bad person for wanting to go to Lollapalooza? YES, I love Dashboard Confessional...and now I'm going to go cry in a corner because I know you're laughing at me now.
Buffy the Vampire Layer? Sarah Michelle Gellar goes porno on us.
I hesitate to believe that Johnny Knoxville of Jackass fame gets this much ass...I mean Jessica Simpson, Kate Moss, and Lindsay Lohan!?! NO WAY.
Jack Black? Portraying a Mexican priest who secretly moonlights as a masked wrestler in order to save an orphanage from closure? Somehow I'm not surprised. I'm a little insulted that he's appropriating the Mexican culture.
This is the third time we mentioned the Paris vs. Nicole business, but I sincerely want to know what Nicole knows she did.
My inner disgruntled comic book geek is no secret identity...but Nicolas Cage as Ghostrider? Isn't Stan Lee crying now? I guess not...as he shamelessly stuck himself in Spider Man 2 for a whole half a second...
SO MUCH HOMOSEXUALITY IN TODAY'S POP MUSIC! Featuring The Killers, The Backstreet Boys, Duran Duran, and a really hot picture involving The Libertines. Obviously, musicians are realizing that homosexuality is the new heterosexuality...Jump on the bandwagon so you can say you were into it before it went all mainstream!
Speaking of homosexuality...Johnny Depp is the new Mischa Barton!! Keep your pants on...it's just in the name of art!
"Wow Joe John, you totally outgayed yourself this time..." Get over it! I've gotten both of those last two pieces of news from Arjan and Pink. I mean, I guess this isn't a good time for me to mention that Donatella Versace nearly killed herself?
I MUST HEAR THIS!!! Le Tigre is producing a song for Paris Hilton's debut album. It's like my two favorite things colliding into one.
THE LOHAN WAS ROBBED!...and I don't mean of an Oscar for her performance in Mean Girls.
Mimi's doggy has a website...that's right, it's The Emancipation of Jack. I still haven't been able to find a link to the actual site. Mariah Carey is ridic. I did find these adorbs pictures of her and Jack.
TUNES!
The internet is littered with new MP3s by bands no one from Wesleyan would want to admit to liking without dying inside or feeling uber-stereotypical. For example...
Foo Fighters- Best of You (their new single)
Nikka Costa- Til I Get to You
Nikka Costa- Fooled Ya Baby
The White Stripes- Blue Orchid
Weezer- This is Such a Pity (word to ben)
Radiohead- House of Cards (live)
Radiohead- Last Flowers (live)
Nine Inch Nails- Sunspots
The Verve Remixed 3 just recently came out. I love anything involving the Postal Service and this is no exception...
Nina Simone- Little Girl Blue (Postal Service Remix)
For more Nina Simone remixes...go here.
ACTUAL new Kanye West...He pays homage to Andre 3000 in "Ms. Jackson" with this one.
Kanye West- Diamonds are Forever
So the Fiery Furnaces may not be playing at Spring Fling...but this band sounds a lot like them...
Architecture in Helsinki- It's 5!
Architecture in Helsinki- The Owls Go

I feel so terrible for Weezer. They went around saving everyone's life in high school and and pumping out future Interpol fans and all they get in return is a generation of college kids who are required to piss on everything they've done since 2000. Poor guys.
omg i hope they also stole her blonde hair dye lololol!!!
I've been telling people for so long "Cee-Lo... not Skee-Lo, unfortunately." No one ever thinks its funny.
honestly, i would rather see skee-lo. I fucking LOVE that "i wish" song. maybe we can just get him to play that song between sets.
woah woah woah, i also have lots of weezer feedback: the song starts just like an 80s song: at first i thought this was cool, but now it is just annoying, it makes the whole song just too fluffy. totally catchy though, i kind of like the chorus even though it is totally hollow and not the weezer we know and love. weird "the rentals" vibe with the lady vocals. "we should give all of our love to each other" is so close to a real feeling, but like, what? where is the awesome detailed verses about like, fucking crazy narrative stuff "cello, i'm jello" "molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide"? clearly that is what's wrong, all of the choruses are all abstract and vague, like "let me just hold you closely" "you pushed me over the edge" "we cant seem to get ahead" "what kind of future will we have?" ALL CLICHES! Ring ring ring HELLO, Creativity- i dunno what happened to your relationship with rivers, but i hope that you guys get back together sometime soon because he is just a mess without you.
GOOD: FUCKING HARDCORE COMMITED GUITAR SOLO IN THE MIDDLE. hahaha.
Maybe it'll be like that time people requested "Summer of 69" (a Bryan Adams song) at a Ryan Adams show, and he stormed off the stage. Or last year's spring fling when people yelled "8.2!" at Ghostface. Either way, it'd be obnoxious, and totally what spring fling is about.
It's raining.
i can honestly say - "weezer who?"
also, fucking with nina simone is just not right.
i love totesumbrellas.blogspot.com.
HELP ME, TOTES UMBRELLAS!
Who the hell is starring in the upcoming DOOM movie? Last I checked, imdb listed Karl Urban (of Eomer in LotR fame). I had also heard tell that it was Duane "The Rock" Johnson. Now, according to the site you linked to for the new Jack Black flick (awesome, btdubs) it's Doug Jones, but elsewhere on the same site, it's listed as Karl Urban AND the Rock.
WTF??? Help me! I must know! Do some investigative sleuthing and get back to me!
PS Weezer sux
Nat, if Karl Urban is in the DOOM movie, I think you'll have no choice but to marry him.
PPS Nic Cage as Johnny Blaze = GOOD AND YOU KNOW IT.
PPPS The title of the Lohan story says she was robbed by "burgulars." Heh heh heh.
Okay, last update. Karl Urban and the Rock are definitely both in _Doom_. Karl is starring as Space Marine John Grimm. I could only find two small promo photos, one each of the two men, but they're in the classic Doom gray/green armor, and there's a monster, and guns.
Yay!
PS Much love to www.karl-urban.com.
Interesting, blog, I'll say that.
Mine is new, but very eye-opening:
