“seriously, the house of representatives is filled with insane jackasses” – jon stewart
the hollywood chamber of commerce

today announced the 2007 walk of fame recipients:
Michael Caine, Matt Damon, Lauren Shuler Donner, Jamie Foxx, John Goodman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Robert Altman, Erik Estrada, Kiefer Sutherland, Jerry Stiller, Barbara Walters, Dick Wolf, Mariah Carey, Sean “Diddy” Combs, The Doors, Crystal Gayle, Willie Nelson, Tim McGraw, Leann Rimes, Shania Twain, Sir Tim Rice, Lily Tomlin, Rodney Bingenheimer and Stu Nahan.
Actually thats a lie, one of those people doesn’t have a star, even after that vote.
Meanwhile Scientifc American says that we here in LA are basically fucked as the Big One is coming any minute now. (And if it comes before i get a chance to say it, i loved most of you)
i was just telling matt that i need to join the la press club, and whattya know, word got out and tomorrow the mayor and larry king will meet with the press club.
sadly i cant make it as i have a lukewarm date. theres nothing better than hot dates but this chick is a little under the weather so… who wants to kiss a girl for the first time in that situation.
after a few 40s though who knows.
i did a podcast with moxie today that will be up over at her blog shortly its up. we’re going to start doing them poolside from now on.
today i also got some cds in the mail for me to review. one of them was the grates. its awesome. another one of them is guster. i didnt think i was going to like them at all. i dont know who i thought theyd be. i guess i had never heard them before, i dont know, anyway that one is great too. and the third one is also very good, darker my love. sounds like sonic youth my bloody valentine. very nice surprise.
ive been seeing al gore on tv a lot lately and maybe having that election stolen from him shook him up in the right way because hes way better on tv than ever before. for the glaring exception of the joke he tried to tell tonight on letterman. i bet he’s going to be your next president, america.
finally, pitchfork sends us to myspace so we can hear the best cover of the year The Go! Team doing “Bull in the Heather“.
pitchfork gives them two stars but theyre haters, i give them twenty-two stars, it’s definately better than the arcade fire doing “maps”.
ten days on the job and the critics agree!

the new LAist is making me want to move to another city.

Tony Pierce obviously has the lamest taste in music.

Grow the eff up! Ferchrissakes, how can a *paid* blogger be pushing such a tired, discredited storyline?
—
you are a hack writer for a franchised, corporate media outlet, and you wrote a tired regurgitation of factually-challenged talking points lifted from other franchised, corporate media outets. In short, not only are you wrong, you are unoriginal. You bring nothing to the table.

COBAIN IS DEAD DUDE, GET OVER IT. PEARL JAM AND VEDDER WOULD BE BETTER THAN NIRVANA IF THEY WERE BLIND, DEAF, AND MENTALLY RETARDED. NIRVANA WAS THE WORST BAND EVER. COBAIN WAS SO JEALOUS HE KILLED HIMSELF. YOU LOSE, PEARL JAM WINS.

an interesting exchange occurred was when someone left this comment:
my grandma has been a Laker fan since the Jerry West days, and she hates Shaq for being a big baby and not working it out with Kobe, not the other way around.
if it’s good enough for Grandma, it’s good enough for me.
to which i was obliged to reply thusly:
so because penis was good enough for your grandma, then i suspect it’s good enough for you too?
ah, the internet, the most powerful tool in the world that moonlights as the fanciest way for strangers to tell each other they suck.
my interview with a member of the south central farm + the ducks’ new look + betapundit
oh shit, raymi is on LAist
yesterday was juliette lewis’s 33rd birthday
and i blew it and didnt celebrate her birth on my blog
if she was my wife id marry her
and i would consider being a vegitarian
thats how much i love her.
you know how some vegetarians eat fish?
id be one that ate chicken. a Lot.
ashley doesnt believe i miss her.
but i do.
she writes about xboyfriends, but never me.
she links to all of her friends on her page, but theres no love for the busblog.
not anywhere in the world will you see more photos and stories and tributes to the daisy girl from vegas than on tonypierce.com but she doesnt care. and i guess i should be cool with that since we havent been together for years, but i have a near-perfect record with my exes, and i still care very much about her.
right before i started being the editor of the LAist i drove to Vegas to have my last weekend of “freedom” because i knew my life would be over once i took this gig. on the way out there i called her up to invite her to dinner at one of the fancy hotel/casinos. no answer, i left a message for her. she called back to tell me that she was actually on her way out to LA that weekend to hang out with her sisters.
while in the desert i accomplished everything that i wanted: i drew up a detailed plan for LAist, i wrote, i partied, i made out with a stripper with a tounge pierce. i even won at the slots. perfect.
so on the drive west back to the city of angels i called up ashley to find out if she too was on the road so that we could meet somewhere out there and not be two ships passing in the night. no answer. she called me the next day to tell me that her phone was off or something, but unfortunately i was on an xbi stakeout and couldnt chat.
i know we’ll be friends again. i wouldnt say we’re friends now. i know we’ll be friends once she breaks up with her dude. in fact i know the minute that it sinks in, once they break up, i will be one of the first people she calls, and she will be crying, and she will ask me to drive out to vegas, and i will, and i will forgive her for putting me on the back burner all these years. and for dissing the blog of love.
ive never claimed to be a smart man. ive never claimed to be handsome. and of all people i know what its like to be not-the-best friend. but i am idealistic and i do think that when you spend as much time together as she and i spent together, you really shouldnt throw it out the window just because some new dude is feeling you up.
but its 5:18am and im not even sleepy. i shouldnt be thinking about anything other than hitting the hay, but for a blog that swears that nothing in here is true, sometimes its hard not to tell it like it is.
tonight i wrote a headline on LAist that made me laugh for a full minute: Don’t Throw Your Baby in the Garbage. yes there is something very wrong with me for laughing. many things, probably.
and since we’re being honest with each other, allow me to share with you that i had prime rib for dinner and i eat chicken almost every damn day. very little red meat. so this prime rib fucked with my organs in a nasty way as it raced through me and i took a three-part shit as if i ate four prime ribs. and even though i had taken a shower before my dinner date, i excused myself from the hottie and took another after that epic dump. ok im out.
matt good’s blog is back and off to a hot start + raspberry + foxxy + pisan
have i wished you a happy first day of summer yet?

happy first day of summer, babies
men with socks on their cocks rule the world + my best headline of the day + panajane gets love
you really shouldnt try to attempt any of this at home
i have the weirdest schedule. last night i didnt go to bed until 5am, only to be awaken by a cuban girl who never really told me what she wanted. now here it is 255am and im not even close to feeling sleepy so im sipping rum and writing things for LAist and listen to my Mellow folder on the itunes which right now is bumping the pixies gigantic and im thinking about you, yes you, the one in the pink.
karisa pinged me at 9pm, by 10pm i had showered and was headed towards her miracle mile rendezvous locale, curiously near the xbi hq. she claimed to be “starving” which was funny because i had just gotten off the phone with my true love in africa who told me about a few of her experiences with truly starving people.
we decided on Swingers, the ultra hip diner on 3rd street near the Grove. the service was horrible, the food was eh, the company was amazing. even in the dark karisa’s a knockout. she plays these games where she tries to get me to check her out but i only have my mind on my money and my money on my mind so i only had eyes for LAist and took pictures of our plates of food so i can review the joint.
but they dont need any love. there it was 10:30p and they were packed. even the outside was full. the waitress never asked us how we liked our shit, never asked if we needed anything else, never asked us if we wanted dessert, never asked us if i was really tony pierce and if my dining companion who wanted the grilled cheese was truly The karisa j hotshit. so she only got a 19 percent tip.
before i left to go to dinner i dissed kobe on LAist which ended up with lots of readers of LAist dissing me. ME!
its been a funny week with me and the readers over there. they obviously dont understand the rules of the game which you kids follow beautifully. and those rules are simple “when tony hits publish post, you tell him how rad he is in the comments.”
several members of the peanut gallery seemed to overlook that rule and told me that my reasoning was indefensible and even vapid. big words i know. but i have a thesaurus around here somewhere. anyways kobe does suck, shaq has another ring, and lookatthat so does Riles. it was a win win for me because the Mavs are my team after the Heat so i was in hog heaven and Cuban will get his if he doesnt go bankrupt with all the fines, but its fine, its fine.
and this mellow mix keeps getting louder. dont people understand that 3:13am means shhhh it means
mmmmmm
it means
.
thats right it means so quiet you can barely hear it.
and tomorrow i have to rule the world again and see if anyone notices.
wonkette noticed + i put a green bud on LAist yesterday + dissed pearl jam today
