handjobs for the holidays
mmmmworst. kelly osbourne cast in abc's dramabortion 'life as we know it', which will air for 2 weeks at 9pm thursdays on abc, before getting cancelled. between pink & kelly o, i'm not sure who's grosser. going up against tru calling in the same timeslot? no contest. duhvs. go back to rehab & die! speaking of worst, i saw the 2nd charlie's angels movie on cable & nearly threw up during pink's cameo at the dirt bike race. her stomach freaks me out.
how about calling it the 'yeah you're always, up to no good tour'? phantom planet contemplates suicide, will join hoobastank on tour this summer. i've been harshing on phantom planet since schwartzman bailed & since their most recent album came out in january. i'm thinking of buying the album, & potentially see them in concert. i can't get that song out of my dome. seriously.
went to the sloan show at st andrews last night. so many cannucks were there at the sold-out show, the d being a border-town & all. sloan sounded great, had a good time on stage, & the crowd went bananaz. a girl close to the stage passed-out at ~half-time & the band stopped & called for security/assistance. the girl was fine & as she was being carried out, jay ferguson said 'that girl was cute...why couldn't that have happened to some guy instead?'. they did a great job of mixing the set-up pretty well, playing power pop rock from most of their albums. sloan...quite possible the best export from canada since labatt blue light. they finished up their mini-us tour in june, then hit the road in july opening for jet.
speaking a good canadian bands, this week also features 2 shows w/ montreal's the stills & toronto's metric. they'll be stopping by the d thurs 5/27 for a show at st andrews & then fri 5/28 in checkago at the metro. tix are still available. the complete bill is top notch: sea ray/metric/the stills. sea ray & metric alone are worth the price of admission 2x.
canadian indie rock band broken social scene has also been added to the lollapalooza line-up this summer. hopefully the lovely emily haines from metric will be there too. i never heard anything by them (broken social scene) until going to coachella. since then i picked-up 'bee hives' & have been giving it heavy rotation on my ipod (in my mind). maybe they read peabs' blog too? a new song's working title is 'handjobs for the holidays'.
too much canadian speak for me.
