It’s always pleasant when you go to see an opening act and the act plays over an hour. This was what happened last nite at the Phoenix. The place was nearly at capacity for the opening act that is Ben Kweller, despite the fact that he is about 4′3 and has what appears to be a jew-fro, this little midget can carry quite a tune. The crowd seemed quite into it as he showed off his repertoire of talents which included a solo acoustic set, stuff with the piano and some bluesy guitar playin.

I thought the show was quite good, and aside from the fact that ‘wasted and ready’ was not played, the setlist was quite good. I did not stay for Gomez, as I was tired, did not want to wait 45 minutes for them to setup and my back was tired, which indicates to me that i shouldnt be sitting at a 45 degree angle all day.

4/5

not to really harp on the situation, but timbaland doesn’t really belong in this nelly furtado video

i mean i know he produced it and all, but he’s starting to suffer from puff daddy syndrome where he has to be in the background of every video, honestly he kinda ruined a decent lookin 80s homage video by doing his weird eye and head titling movement. if i was a producer, i’d replace him with a chocolate bar. the video woulda been better.

too good to pass up not posting.

apparantly, timbaland dissed scott storch in a recent song, so he came up with this video, which is pretty funny.

here is timbaland’s thing

Heroes - excellent episode. primarily because there was no ali larter story line. good back story on the dad and how he is what he is, presented a new enemy, who looks like he’s straight out of the 70s. overall, this is a show that lost has yet to do (a show that answers questions!). After a brief dull period, heroes has turned it up a notch.

24 - zzzzzzzzzzz. 24 season six has been the worse season by far. maybe because there is too much familiarity. i don’t really care for much of the story line and it has dropped off the must-see tv list.

prison break - it looks like this show is heading to a conclusion, which is pretty sweet. theres some decent writing on this show and, well, its going along. i just hope it finishes this season

lost- one of those side stories, that does nothing but generate ad revenue for the folks at ABC. i think the producers need to know that we don’t really care about these mini story arcs.

was just peeking thru facebook, man theres a lot of people with my name. its kinda discouraging. in fact, theres someone IN EDMONTON with my name, that knows people that I know (probably went to the same church i use to go to as kid). now that is fucked up.

personally, i think it’s my responsibility to kill everyone else that has the same name, and then i will become more powerful. however, they are pretty widespread, so i’d probably need a few sponsors. it’d also be hard to kill someone who has such great taste in names.

also, this facebook thing is addictive. mostly cos i can snoop around and see what people from my old high school are up to, its been awhile since i talked to alot of these peeps. most of them are still in edmonton, which is good for them. ..i guess.
