House Of Cards

We saw the Apple Matrix Group (rhymes with Shmadioshmead) this evening. They were excellent (and jovial!), and we highly recommend that you get a ticket. The stage setup is their Wachowskiest, yet. Our most favorite aural orgasm moment: the drum roll cymbal crash 2 minutes and 41 seconds into “Bodysnatchers.” Fffffffffffpower.

Top Shelf

Padma… Come. On. Herve Leger? And red?! Alright, maroon. Anyway, that is not appropriate for a regular people wedding*. Show the bride (and groom) a little mercy! What are we supposed to say? At least it wasn’t see-though? It’s a goddamn underpants tightener… Ours. We know you’re not wearing any. Ooooooooouch!

*For the internet, however, it’s totally not inappropriate enough.

  • Wonder if John Mayer’s rich enough to date Padma, yet. Yeah.

Go, Speed Racer!

sfgate: “The Wachowski brothers have tumbled into a matrix of their own with “Speed Racer,” one which has rendered them completely out of touch with the outside world… In adapting the 1960s Japanese anime television series, writer-directors Larry and Andy Wachowski have created a noisy, overlong, mind-numbing extravaganza that seems tailor-made for nobody but themselves and their twisted sensibilities… “Speed Racer” is, of course and unfortunately, mainly about the races -a never-ending blur of lights and color, an overlapping cacophony of drivers and announcers, flying car parts and flailing crowds.”

If that review doesn’t scream cult classic, then we don’t know what.

Greczyn Beauty

According to the internet, Alice Greczyn, 22, is an American actress from Walnut Creek, California who starred in the 2006 NBC television series Windfall, playing the teenager Frankie Townsend. (crickets) She has also appeared in the films Sleepover, The Dukes of Hazzard, Shrooms, and Fat Albert, as well as the television series Phil of the Future and Quintuplets… Okay, we have never heard of any of those things, but we are going to take the internet at its word.

You Know How I Know You're Gay?

They’re doing the whole faux-royal Adam Ant thing this time around. Ugh. Hey, Coldplay, Panic At The Disco called. He needs his jacket that he borrowed from Julian Casablancas back. Yeah, the one he stole from Liam Gallagher, who nicked it from the cover of Sgt. Peppers. Maybe Klosterman was right?

Interesting

TEGAN: “I saw a clip of a live performance and downloaded “Oracular Spectacular” (Columbia) from iTunes a minute later. I love this record. It’s so hooky. The lyrics are so interesting. They really should have called the record “Interesting.” Sometimes in order to get out of bed in the morning I listen to them. Everything I’ve read or seen of them and their artwork is really strange. It’s not the lyrics that draw me. It’s something about their voices and the energy. I like how it does feel a little electronic, but it still feels like a band. Like I don’t wonder how they’ll make that sound live. Everyone in pop music is just selling the chorus, but this is a band that has hooks all over the place, and sometimes their hooks will only happen once, then disappear. There’s so much going on. You have to listen again and again.” (via nyt)

Chungk It

Rigorously unsatisfied with the Blueberry after-taste, Goldenfiddle Hogye 1065-2 correspondent Divad Q. Nead has graciously offered to serve up a fresh report card on Wong Kar Wai’s melancholy minorpiece of 1996, Chungking Express. So, with just a little further fuss…

Happy Trails

Sports Illustrated: “Big Brown backed up his trainer’s boasts with an explosive finishing kick and won the Kentucky Derby on Saturday. But the cheers of the crowd were cut short when the filly Eight Belles, who finished second, was euthanized on the track minutes after the race with a fatal injury.” (ie: broke both front ankles)

Aw, that’s a bummer… But how about those HATS?!

Quotability

  • Meghan Asha on Red Eye: “They have the best comedic timing of any news program on air putting a spin on relevant (and irrelevant) news stories.”

  • Gabriel Delahaye on John McCain: “I read in the paper a little while ago about how John McCain should select Condoleezza Rice as his running mate…”

  • Tom Cruise on Katie Holmes: “I can’t even articulate it, to be honest. That feeling, that connection. Just who she is and what she means to me.”

  • Scott Weiland on the nature of the Stone Temple Pilots reunion: “I got a phone call from Dean [DeLeo] when I was on tour with Revolver, and he said, “Hey listen, are you sitting down? There are a handful of festivals trying to reach out to us, and the money is pretty ridiculous.” I never thought our first reunion would be a tour playing our hits. Although there’s definitely nothing wrong with that.”

  • Scott Caan on Scott Caan: “I want to create a little chaos and make people’s heads turn.”
