I Must Get Young Again
The first year I moved here I bought tickets to Coachella because it was the Jane’s Addition reunion tour. When the weekend finally rolled around (it’s a weekend in the desert with like, eighty bands), I realized something important: I was too old for a weekend festival. The thought of going and sleeping in a…

If You Lived Here…
I was just thinking about you guys as I went for a walk. Well, I was thinking about some of you, with your “Siberian-like” temperatures and miserable, freezing conditions. I was thinking about you because I was walking along, all casual, wearing a tank top. It didn’t feel fair, exactly, but that’s why my rent…

“I haven’t talked to Michael in at least 5 years.”
Michael Jackson needs his “friends” to shut up. My favorite part is when Gregory points out that Santa Claus also has weird fixations with children, but that doesn’t make him a pedophile. Brilliant!

Wonder Killer
I no longer trust anyone using a pay phone. I realized that the other week, watching someone hunched over a pay phone, reading something off a crumpled piece of paper. Was he lost? What was he doing? Sure, not everybody can afford a cell phone, I know that. But homeboy’s standing next to a Pizza…

Almost Famous
Speaking of pretty music, why aren’t you downloading everything off the Damn Millionaires website? They’re gonna be super famous. “House on Fire” was on our holiday mix CD, which means it circulated around many parts of the country (and Canada). What have you done to help the DM’s?

It’s Like Having All Of My CD’s In My Car!
People of Los Angeles, turn your radio dials to 103.1 right now. Holy crap! Yes! Radiohead followed by Postal Service, followed by the Beastie Boys (circa Paul’s Boutique) followed by old REM and then the Pixies and then the Police and then U2, Social Distortion, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots and the B-52’s (from Wild Planet!)…

Sometimes I Don’t Want To Write a Title.
On the television yesterday morning was an ad for Cheaper By the Dozen boldly claiming, “The Number One Comedy of the Year!” It was January 9th. Perhaps it could calm down a little. Then, on the kitchen counter, stee had left open a Hollywood Reporter, where fans of Tarzan had taken out a half-page ad,…
