Allan: I just saw Jenny Lewis at her Coachella warmup show in Sacramento. Jenny was great, but her drummer Barbara is my new favorite musician ever. Has anything like that ever happened to you?

when i worked at e! a long long time ago i worked with a young lady named hathaway who was crazy about this band called rilo kiley. shed watch them play anywhere, never missed a show. no matter how hard she hyped them i didnt like em then and i dont like em now. but i just saw jenny lewis from coachella and she completely won me over. have i ever fallen for a musician while watching them play? ive seen the donnas several times. i think ive fallen for each of them at different shows.

katie: how do you get over a broken heart?

ive never gotten over anything, ever. matt welch says im more like a teenage girl than teenage girls.

BobD: Do you think former NFL running back Travis Henry has taken the lead as most messed up former pro jock?

other than OJ? probably todd marijuanavich.

dvl: i’ve got the tomdog…. who wants a lick?

had the pleasure of hanging with the former bassist of rogue cheddar saturday night with aj, jeanine, a gentleman who makes toys, and a woman who worked for metal blade in the 80s. we ate at the delicious kanpai and then had a couple rounds at the custom hotel bar.

Keira-Anne: You go on a lot of really cute, sweet dates. What was your best/favorite date ever and what made it so rad? P.S. Like how I said “favorite” instead of “favourite”? I’m culturally sensitive like that.

ive had some amazing first dates in my day. some wild and exotic. some crazy and extravagant. some totally like hi i just met you and youre naked? but cute, sweet? that would probably have to go the first time i kissed my first girlfriend. we saw “wargames” and i had totally planned on seeing if shed let me hold her hand in the movie, but the movie was so good that i completely spaced out. so the next week we went to “the man with two brains” and even though i love steve martin, i was able to remember to try to hold her hand, and after she let me i had the courage to kiss her in her driveway when i dropped her off, and there you have it.

vinny: Which movie did you like better, dumb and dumber or old school??

i think everyone was shocked at how good dumb and dumber ended up being, but old school is one of those absolutely perfect movies. an instant classic.

Mike: your thoughts [on this]?

theres a lot wrong with what went down there. as far as im concerned, they’re simply a search engine. they dont host those torrents. but if you rely on big businesses or even the courts to understand breakthrough technology, its your own fault. meanwhile record companies should just give it away, have ads on the ends, and make money off dvds and singles.

Ophelia Mourne: What would You do for a Klondike bar?

not much, they always taste like freezer burn to me.

Kris: Do you want to start an 80’s hair band with me?

i do but i want my wig to catch fire during the encore as i bang the flaming gong behind my drum set.

meets a mcdonalds cashier who is a fan of the adult star who takes their picture and posts it on twitter via her iphone

but even thats not my favorite story of tonights show
which i didnt attend.

my favorite was when flavor flav said “we’re going to play the entire It Takes a Nation to Hold Us Back right now”

with a live band.

the songs called “let the beat build”

and the video was shot in one take, live.

step two: listen to lou reed’s “perfect day”

step three: think about how lou had a great career with the velvet underground and wrote and sang all those classic VU tunes, then think about his even more successful solo career. songs like “walk on the wild side”, “satellite of love” and this one “perfect day” – all three which came off his solo record “transformer” (which also has the great tune “vicious”) which was produced by david bowie and mick ronson of the spiders of mars.

step four: enjoy the VP Team’s cover of “perfect day”

step five: try not to have an awesome weekend.

a LOT.

because this is my second purchase of such a device in less than 5 months,

i think im going to invest $5 in an app like “Undercover”

because something tells me this wont be the last time this happens.

good thing i dont have any kids

even though hes hollywood tony this weekend

sorry i didnt call you back last night. i ended up getting into an emotional phone call with another and it upset me a great deal.

sometimes i hear myself and i think thats not me. sometimes i see myself and i say who the heck is that ugly fool?

and after awhile i just assume oh i guess thats me now. no longer the high school football star. no longer the marching band stud. no more the afroed college skateboarding poetry dude who is in the paper twice every day.

but then something will happen and i will get a glimpse of myself in the mirror and im all hey i know you! and im back.

last night someone else was talking on my end of the line and on the other end of the line. it wasnt pretty. also my sushi was aging on my tv tray. also Lost was being tivoed. also dogs were barking outside my mirror.

and also you were trying to call me. and i was there but not really.

i was somewhere else. not sure where.

maybe a few stories above me looking down on whoever was on the phone being all mean and ornery. needless to say you didnt wanna have to talk to me after that call. and probably not today neither.

what should happen is this, you should come out here on saturday afternoon and we go to the beach and drink 40s and eat some fish tacos and then take in a club show in silver lake.

then you should head into the desert and take in coachella.

the one bright spot of yesterday was actually two-fold. first my maid came while i was working, so it was nice to come to a clean home. also she cooked me dinner and for the first time ever didnt leave it on the dining room table, but put it in the fridge: progress!

the other thing that made me smile was Lost was about Miles who is now my favorite on that show.

to thank obama for cutting their taxes

disney however would have argued that taxes help us stay free.
