I present to you…
J.D. Fortune! Winner of RockStar INXS and the band’s new lead singer!
Good thing - I would never pay to see INXS live if they picked scary Marty.
Hooray for hot-as-all-Hades J.D.!
He’s a 31 year old Canadian vegetarian and former Elvis impersonator - and on top of all that, he recently quit smoking!
Who could ask for anything more?!
A week or so ago, a certain someone gave me a a copy of this Coldplay CD, not the new one.
And I like it, A LOT.
Except now, every time I listen to it, I hear the line, “You know how I know you’re gay?” from The 40 Year Old Virgin and then I can’t stop laughing.
I can’t take the music seriously then, either.
You know how I know that you’re gay?
How?
Cuz you’re gay… and you can tell who other gay people are.
You know how I know you’re gay?
How?
You like Coldplay.
I used to make fun of Coldplay any chance I got - I was so sick of that damned “Yellow” song that they used to play on the radio all the time.
Damn. I’m not freaking out about big important tests anymore (I used to cry/throw fits, I swear).
I’m moving on/away from no good relationships (no more superficial for me, thank you)!
My new mantra has got to be “I am not a doormat.”
And, I’m listening to Coldplay.
I must say, I’ve never felt more gay!
This one pointed out the following website to me the other day.
I just spent a good 20 minutes listening to random sound clips from it - I’m in love!
You must check it out!
Some of my favorite clips on the site include:
an “Apples and Bananas” cover
“Masturbating in a Dressing Room” (work safe, actually)
“JIBBERISH FREESTYLE WHAT WHAT”
“I am slightly awesome”
AND LASTLY
“Reverse Escargot”
Sadly for me, the site does not have an RSS feed.
Woe, alack.
Also, like many other indie-film-lovers, I’m incredibly smitten with Me and You and Everyone We Know. I’m also in love with the soundtrack and big thanks go to AimeeG for posting the link. Take a listen yourself, right here.
And my current screensaver?

forever.

You know it!
Lately I’ve seen about one good movie for every third mediocre movie. I need to up my ratio by seeing Happy Endings and Broken Flowers, and soon.
As it is, I watched Mortal Kombat (not my choice) at work today and am going to see Must Love Dogs with a few friends from school on Thursday.
There’s no hope for me.
I’m on a Black Eyed Peas kick - don’t stop me!
Actually, I’m not… but I did check out their CD, Elephunk from the library (in the small town where I work), and I enjoy parts of it.
In fact, the other day on the drive back from this monument to consumerism, the teen that I work with and I were rockin’ out to the song in my subject line up there.
Quite a fun way to spend rush hour, I must say.
Now, I’ve always taken issue with their song “Let’s get retarded.”
Call me sensitive, call me a bleeding-heart liberal, call it what you will - I can’t stand the lyrics.
My least favorite lyrics are “bob your head like epilepsy” and “let’s get ignant (ignorant).” Retarded people are not ignorant - they may be uninformed on some things, but it’s not by choice… it’s by design/situation.
The song? - Nice beat.
The message? - “Retards are… retarded. Let’s be like them.”
Nice.
Anyway, I thought i’d do a bit of internet sleuthing (what better to do with the next hour - I got out of class early and am stuck on campus with a suitcase) on the Black-Eyed Peas and their songs.
Here’s what I have found:
*”Don’t Phunk With My Heart” is on their latest album, “Monkey Business” - I haven’t decided yet if I love or hate it. Right now it’s verging on mild annoyance.
*Fergie is creepy!
*In this interview, one of the members (will.i.am) not only talks about “Let’s get retarded” but he also mentions that one of the earlier versions of the song sounded “kind of gay.” He’s a winner.
*The Black Eyed Peas are essentially what the The Poet Tree (local/Minneapolis group) would be if they sold out. Like hard core. And had crappier lyrics. And less talent. Yes.
about that… The Poet Tree — still together? have a website? I’d love to know!
One of my favorite things on the Elephunk album is the song, “Shut Up.”
The best line is (and it’s repeated throughout the song):
Shut up
Just shut up
Shut up [3x]
Shut it up, just shut up
Shut it up?
Really? Is that the best you can come up with?
If someone told me to “shut it up,” I’d laugh in their face.
Destiny’s Child also has a song called “Shut Up.” Correction - it’s called “Dot,” but should be called “Shut Up.” It’s on the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack.
My favorite lyric from that one is as follows:
“Shut up
Noone said to open your mouth.”
Brilliant! The lyrical craftsmanship is astounding!
In other music news, R. Kelly’s song, “Trapped in the Closet” is most certainly not music (to my ears). Did you know that it’s 10 hours long? Feels like it. The video version that they play on MTV is short, but sadly the kid that I work with has the entire dang song and LOVES IT.
Sad for me.
I’m trapped in the closet!
My lyrics are crappy!
I’ve got no career left!
I’m off to St. Louis for the weekend, where it’s supposed to be 101 degrees! Dear god no! I can’t take that kind of heat — isn’t 93 hot enough?!
I really will be a pile of sassy, dang. A melted rainbow-colored, tastes-like-flavored-tofu pile (puddle, really) of sassy by the end of the weekend.
Save me!
