Some genius posted a clip of Kelly Bishop et al singing "At the Ballet." I love that genius.
So I've been listening to Radio1 and this year is their 40th anniversary so they're doing all sorts of little special things, like odd cover songs, and looking at major albums, etc. They're also doing something called "Radio1 Legends" where at 9pm every night, a "legend" comes in and plays DJ for an hour and talks about his/her influences, etc. They started off last night with Paul McCartney, who played a really cute set and you know what, I don't care if does use drugs and what not, because he's kept an otherwise spotless profile and maybe Heather Mills was trying to smear him after all.
Anyway! Tonight was Dave Grohl, who I love for some reason, and he played some Zeppelin, some Beatles, some Bad Brains, Fugazi, No Means No. A pretty eclectic set, and then, for his last song, I didn't catch the beginning of the explanation but I heard him say something like "Carousel 44" and then say that he wants that particular song played at his funeral. The whole time I'm thinking, "What the fuck kind of name is Carousel 44?" And then it hits me...he's going to play "Care of [m-fing] Cell 44" by the Zombies. I kind of squealed. RF kind of looked at me funny. And I'm all, "no, you don't understand. I love this song. I love Dave Grohl six ways to Sunday for playing this song." Bottom line: High-fives and ass slaps to DG. I wish he'd get a haircut, though.
Do y'all know how badly I want "Oddessey and Oracle" on vinyl? Really badly. I'm guessing it's pretty hard to find and procure for under $40. Honestly though, I'd pay. I'd pay to be able to hear those harmonies cranked up to a lot.
Lastly: a moment of silence for the old layout of Television Without Pity. None of "my shows" are really there anymore, so I don't have the OMG MUST SEE mentality with it as much as I used to, but the new layout is horrible. They've officially gone corporate, and I hate it. I'm not boycotting or anything, but I'm disappointed that they would so drastically change the layout. Especially after they said that Bravo really wouldn't interfere with content, etc. The old layout, as several readers pointed out, was unique and cute and humorous. And now it looks like any old entertainment site, and it's actually quite jarring. I don't want to open the page and see a giant picture of "The Hills" bitches. I want to see the little hula girl and the football!
I love that none of the "Good Luck Chuck" commercials give you an idea of what the movie is actually about...it's just Alba being "adorably" klutzy, instead of the movie's horrible premise. I hate our culture sometimes.
