retrobuzz

so damore was having a rough morning today. running low again on glue sticks, i had to run to joann fabrics to buy 100 sticks to cover production. i decided to take a more scenic route to avoid bridge traffic on i75. i went downtown on fort street to take the lodge to i94. some douchebag driving like an ephing tourist is in the wrong lane, & w/out signaling, proceeds to cut me off to make the turn. this db had illinois plates on his 1950-something whatever. let's call it a mint black studebaker (sp?), which has like zero retrobuzz. i lay on the horn for like 5 seconds, giving the 'wtf yell w/ arms in the air'.

we both turn, he gets in the middle lane, he then realizes he again is in the wrong lane, needing to get in my lane to enter the freeway. he starts drifting over (again w/ no turn signal), to the point i thought he's gonna to hit my ghetta. i honk for like 5 secs again. he takes exception, gets back in the middle lane & stops next to me. he rolls down his window & starts yelling at ME saying 'you fucking dumbass! can't you see my fucking turn signals asshole?!' the nerve. so i roll down my passenger window & say 'fuck you, you fucking douche! you fucking suck, chris chelios!! your car has NO retrobuzz asshole!'.

yes, the douchebag i got into a curse war with was none other than red wings' defenseman chris cheliblos. it was pretty cool because i immediately recognized him once he stopped next to me--then to curse him out was best. it totally made my day in fact. i called in a 'whatevs watcher' to uncle grambo, but had to leave him a vmail account. seers, this account is all tru except for the 'retrobuzz' crack about his car. wish i woulda thought of that.

-another great line from letterman last night: 'if you're keeping score at home that's courtney love: 2, janet jackson: 1'


not much of a post today, i'm slammed. must say, dcfc show was excellent & it was fun hanging out w/ seantizz & lembeck at the show. dcfc went through mostly transatlanticism/photo album, & a early tracks (at least 1 from something about airplanes). for what i saw of them, they were great. i literally got something like 10 calls from work on my cell w/ an 'emergency' sitch. the production at the plant was running out of glue sticks. i shit you not. glue sticks for hot glue guns. anyway, i missed ~half their 50min set because of that, not seeing more than 10min of it uninterupted.

anyway, a funny story from the show is that i was getting all these work calls, & trying to find someplace quiet to talk/hear. i kinda spaced-out after having two $6.50 beers. so i'm on the phone & walk into the bathroom. someone tries to interupt me & i still am not really paying attention to them. then she says, 'what the hell are you doing in the women's bathroom?!'. i'm like 'sorry, it's an emergency call & it's quieter than the men's room'. i was pretty embarassed but i think i played it well. maybe not.

$6.50 beers & $3 waters=no buzz. some say the auto industry has even less buzz. bhears.

-be sure to check out dwinkerswinkers today--uncle grambo fields fly balls re: blogs, whatevs, pop culture, bynes & brit.

-later today, i'll post the pre-OC AP & USA Today No Buzz polls-'The Nana'.

how worst was janet's appearance on letterman last night? 1st off, she came out in full-on cleavage w/ a very revealing low-cut red dress w/ fully exposed mid-riff w/ a silver picture frame around her navel area. also the sides of the dress were cut-out. her attire alone begged the questions to be asked. why dress so provocatively on the late show if you didn't didn't want to be asked about it? good question.

letterman was sfbest, he just kept hammering at her about the 'malfunction' & whether it was intended or not, & how she didn't know about. was it that timberlake's fault, mtv, etc? she kept insisting that it was 'an accident' & not planned. dumbass, why not just say you made a bad judgement call, apologize, & it's end of story, no where to go. she was pissed off at dave for the asking of so many questions about it. um, you caused the biggest stir in the media, congress is still having hearings over it. obvs it's a big deal.

dave, listened to her pleas, then he changed the topic to jacko. has jacko gone wacko? what was britney thinking? is demi moore ready to be mrs. kutcher?


she became visibly po'ed again & said she couldn't talk about it. she even said she admired herself for having her mom's strength to get through these difficult times, as if she didn't bring it all upon herself. what a helpless victim, acting like someone close to her had died or something. for shame.

finally dave was like, well what do YOU want to talk about? i think they talked about her new crappy album for 1-2min. can't remember, didn't really care much about that.

your album is going to flop, bill laimbeer stizz. your hosting gig on snl is going to be the WORST. good luck w/ that if you couldn't make it through 15 min on letterman.

dave...sfb!

bret hart sues lloyds of london for $2.2mills for career-ending concussion suffered in 99 at the foot of goldberg. wrestling blogs...is there anything better? i still love the simpson's ep when mr burns goes broke & the hit man goes to buy his house, & the shrieking shiek lives in the neighborhood.

Old-man Stink: Mr. Burns goes broke and is forced to sell his mansion. One of the potential buyers? None other than wrestler Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

Real Estate Agent: And, I'm sure a pro-wrestler such as yourself will appreciate all the closet space, Hitman.
Bret: Eww. This place has got old-man stink!
Burns: Ooh.
Smithers: Don't listen to him, sir. You've got an enchanting musk.

The agent also reminds Bret that he isn't the only wrestler in the neighborhood -- the Shrieking Sheik lives just three doors down.

i'm excited for tonight's deathcab/ben kweller show in royal oak. i've only heard the rumors that folds & kweller have a bet going that they will be able to recruit ben gibbard to join 'the bens' (along w/ ben lee). maybe it's already been announced & i'm way behind & this is stale buzz. hopefully some details will be revealed tonight, or backblog style.

in the holy shit, i was so wrong dept: scooby-doo 2 kills lady killers, jesus henry christ, zombies, & a new jersey girl at the box office. $29.3mills over the weekend. when you're wrong, you're just plain wrong. it must have been the incredible acting of one matthew lillard. strong showing doesn't mean it was good, but i was expecting a children of the corn 8 type of debut.

in the 'no shit dumbass dept', it's great to again hear moz on the radio. even 89x is giving the new single 'Irish Blood, English Heart' strong air play. it sounds like the mozzer is back rambo 1st blood stizz. very rocking, hasn't lost a step. i'm very jealous of the lucky folks in nyc (not to mention la) who will be blessed w/ 5 shows in harlem at the apollo. cheers!

be sure to check the exclusive interview on dwinkerswinkers featuring uncle grambo from whatevs. i haven't seen the article yet, but rumor has it that it's cherry buzz cola in fountain form. mmmmBEST!

lastly, as clarification, the franz ferdinand 'no buzz' bit i posted yesterday was dark humor. a bit of a caricature if you will. i don't think you suck if you like ff, & i don't think your music taste sucks if you like ff. if you do, sweet. if not, sweet. arguing about bands has no buzz, so i probably have negative buzz. for the record, i like the following similar music: rapture, longwave, stellastarr*, walkmen, elefant, strokes, interpol.

if you took it as a dig on you, that wasn't the intent. it's kind of a pitchfork parody where they shit on anything w/ buzz because it's too popular. so i think that ff is shit--not my cup of tea. who ephing cares what i think? only me. bad taste, kwobvs. anyway, hope this help explain the basis. that being said i should stiil prob watch out for oj knives at coach. if you're out there in ps for it, we'll drink a big 40, & just party, deputy winston stizz. i've said it before & it won't be the last time, this site is all bs.

strangely i'm in a really good mood now, i just met the greatest band in the world & saw them in concert at clutch durstos. so consider this criticism to be toned down a notch, i'm still glowing from the buzz.

1.) franz ferdinand- wtf is this shite? after seeing this band cause multiple orgasms all-over nyc blogs, i decided to see what all the fuss was about. i picked up their self-titled lp debut a couple day's ago. i didn't even make it past 30 seconds into the 4th track, matinee(?) before flinging this ephing back-alley abortion of a cd out the window of my moving car going 75 on i-94. sounds like a worse version of every other good nyc band the past couple years. normally the shitty cd's i buy are used as coasters or as flying discs to amuse myself when i'm drunk. not so much.


just cos they're a new band w/ 80's retro sound, doesn't mean that they don't blow hermit crab genitals. it certainly does not imply that they have any retrobuzz, cos they don't. obvs i don't get the nyc centered infatuation w/ these ephing tourists. can all 5 strokes members no longer get it up? can some blogger hook-up julian & co w/ some enhancers, like viagra or the 2 other leading brands?

worst name evs as well--archduke, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian empire? might as well be called 'Hello Kitty' fcs. maybe bloggers are challenging themselves to see which crappy new bands they can inflate to legend status. maybe it's an inside joke on morons (like myself) to see if all their 'buzz' can induce someone to buy a mediocre band's cd. throw tv on the radio in this same class. largely unlistenable. terrible singer. whatevs. if you do like these bands, cool. if not, cool. it's not like my opinion that they blow means that you yourself do. it just means that your taste in music in these isolated cases suck leprechaun genitals. don't even get me started on the america jr bloggers (jr varsity canadians).


2.) scooby doo 2- the first one was hands-down the WORST MOVIE EVER. who's the genius who decided to spend another $50 some mill's to try & make an even worse movie w/ a sequel? probably the most unness sequel since men in black II , & the worst since caddyshack II. not even the lovely smg gives this movie any redeeming quality. 1st off her douchebag husband is in it, & 2nd'ly her douchebag husband is it. mmm mmmWORST



3.) WHAM!, the musical- the duo of george michael & andy ridgeley are shopping rights to a musical featuring the the music of Wham!. if this ever happens, please call dr. jack & get me one of his suicide machines. just the thought makes me reach for sharp objects laying around the house. sfdurst.




4.) richard simmons- for shame richard. you always seem like a good sport on letterman when all dave does is make fun of you the entire time. cited for misdemeanor assault 3/24 for slapping another passenger who made a sarcastic remark about one of his exercise videos: 'Hey everybody It's Richard Simmons. Let's drop our bags and rock to the '50s'. you're washed-up richard. you should have just followed that jerk's lead- laugh, & then yell 'c'mon everyone!' & kicked it right into 'sweating to the oldies', vol 3 stizz. you'd be shooting car-chase movies w/ dom deloiuse & burt reynolds as we speak.




5.) more zombie movies- while the world needs more rob zombie movies, it does not need anymore (non-rob) zombie movies. 'the dawn of the dead'--the title alone is a rip-off of the 2003 zombie cult classic 'house of the dead', which was totally best btw. resident evil, 28 days later, house of the dead, etc. how many more re-hashes of the exact same premise can we possibly need? i say none. unless it's a follow-up to 'house of the dead'.


6.) anonymous blogs- if you don't have the stones to bash peeps w/out the front of the 'blog dish', you have absopure'ly no buzz in my book. if you're going to call someone's stuff shite, do it it as yourself, not as some faceless douchebaggio. that being said, i think it's still pretty funny, & obvs it's done by an insider they're all friends with.


7.) ryan seacrest- not that he's ever had any buzz, he's just getting into the 7th circle of worstness. on 'american idol' & his talk show, he's been using the phrases 'seacrest in', 'seacreast out' & 'and we're live...that's your queue everybody'. trying to replace durst as worst.
