Hola, amigos. I know it's been a while since I rapped at ya, but I been busier than a... well, busier than a very busy person. Oh, yeah. And sick. I'm sick, too. Which sucks ass.
"But, Matt," you might be saying, "how fucking hard could it possibly be to cut and paste some stupid crap you read about how George W. Bush invented Grape Nuts or whatever Karl Rove is emailing this week, and add some pithy comments or some pictures of hot chicks in bikinis?"
And to that I reply that copying and pasting is tough work. I totally had carpal last year, brosnan, so get off my jack. And if you want hot chicks in bikinis, well, then you can just eff right...well, actually, I can do that for you.
What was I talking about? Oh, yeah. Posting.
So, I came across this on P-dork this morning, and it might spark some debate, comments stizz.
Turns out the cool kids aren't watching "The O.C." or "Gilmore Girls" anymore. They're watching "Veronica Mars", a TV show on UPN about a teenage detective. This teenage detective happens to frequent a karaoke bar where rock stars show up and sing covers of classic rock songs. A couple months ago, Courtney Taylor-Taylor of the Dandy Warhols (who are responsible for the show's theme song, "We Used to Be Friends") crooned Nazareth's "Love Hurts", and coming February 1, Britt Daniel of Spoon will perform Elvis Costello's (you guessed it) "Veronica".
Ok, first off, "Love Hurts" was written by Gram Parsons, schmobvs. The stupid, metal version of "Love Hurts" we've all heard is a terrible, terrible cover of what's really a heartbreaking country song. And secondively, "Veronica" was written by Elvis Costello and Paul McCartney. Sheesh. Anywizz, the rest of the story seems to be about right. Cool kids do watch "Veronica Mars," and if you don't, then you're not cool. It's by far the best show on TV. And shut the eff up about your "Deadwood" or "Entourage" or whatever, cos swearing doesn't automatically make a show good. And what's up with "Gilmore Girls" being all re-runs lately? Weak.
I gotta go hork up a loogie.
