AHHHHHH! VACATION....

Before I get into anything heavy, has anybody seen that show "scarred", on MTV? I saw it last night and basically had a gaping mouth-open-wide look on my face for the whole 1/2 hour. They show guys getting injured skating, blading, biking , whatever. It's quite gruesome and definitely not for the faint of heart. The height of it was when a guy tore his sack open sliding off a railo skateboarding. I really don't know if I can watch again.

So anyway, before I leave on a well deserved vacation I will update this beeeach. Since I last spoke I saw Andrew WK at the Starlite room. It might be a little late to do a review but a guy named Mcduffe insisted. It started innocently enough, with Andrew playing a couple of songs from his first album. He was wailing away on the keyboard, shaking his hair, nothing too surprising. Then, inexplicably, he asked the crowd to come up on stage and "party" with him and his dj (it would have been nice if he had an actual band). So, slowly but surely, half the crowd jumped on stage and they continued with their set. From then on it got weird. You couldn't even see WK anymore and the sound kept dying because people were jumping off speakers, hanging from the rafters. It was almost surreal. Granted, if I would have been a little more in the mood, I would have been on stage partying with the rest of the hooligans. So, we left that show shaking our heads, wondering what we just witnessed.

Another thing on my radar has been this whole facebook phenomena. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then you might as well crawl out from under that rock and become my friend. I've literally become a friend whore. My only reason for logging in is to try and get new friends and little else. I'm "friends" with people I haven't spoken to in like ten years! I've already become bored with it. The women can't seem to get enough of it, though. I don't even wanna talk about it anymore.

In other news... has anybody seen this year's Lollapalooza lineup? It's like Coachella on crack. check it out @ www.lollapalooza.com.

And another live act I saw this week was Interpol at the Edmonton Events Centre. First of all, they've spruced up the old Red's and it does not look half bad. If you get past the stale canned beer, I was quite impressed. The show itself was quite good. The sound was fantastic and the band was spot on. It wasn't exactly the most exciting stage show I've ever seen but most fans would have been impressed. I doubt they inherited any new fans, though. And Carlos D's creepy pedophile mustache didn't help matters, either.

And in NHL news...oh well, who really cares. Do you? That's what I thought.

So long folks, I'll be thinking of you while I bask in the beautiful Cali sunshine.
