I'll Take "Things That Are LAME" For $400, Alex

Last night at the Rosemont Theatre, there was a several story high banner for a limited engagement...with this exact picture:



OMG PONIES!!!1!  Matthew Morrison from Glee!

Oh...but wait...he's not actually IN the touring cast. What? Where does it say that on this ad? That's right...it doesn't.

Do you know what that is?



That's crap.


Dear Kelly,

Thank you for an utterly amazing show in Chicago last night and for being one of the coolest, most down to earth artists I've ever met. Also, thank you for rocking the Patsy Cline like no one else...




(not from the show last night, but almost exactly the same thing but better quality)

If I should ever marry, you have a standing invite to sing this at my reception. In the meantime, let's go drink some margaritas and watch Glee.

xoxo, you're future BFF,

Liz

IT'S KELLY CLARKSON DAY!!



And I've decorated for the occasion! I wish a very happy Clarkson Day to you and yours! May today be the day Kelly realizes she's my bff and we sit down to a hilarious discussion about Edward Cullen over a few margaritas. Anything is possible on Clarkson Day.

While I'm busy jumping up and down, clutching my friends and screaming along with the songs, anyone at home and bored can watch the Scream Awards on Spike tonight.
Let me know if I missed anything SINCE I'VE BEEN GONE!

Heh. Kelly Clarkson Day. Woot!

10/26/09 Earworms

Yikes, I just realized I've been remiss in posting my earworms, which are usually what I've thrown into my on the go playlist that week, and my current list is threatening to swallow me whole!

"Bad Guy" - Mindy Smith
"Am I just someone you call when you need someone to keep" & "You tell me that I'm crazy, you tell me that I've lost my mind but you're the one behind the wheel, driving me across that line" seal the deal with me on this song
"Wiggley Fingers" - Patty Griffin
I just rediscovered Griffin's "Flaming Red" cd. I firmly believe it's a must have
"You're Gonna Want Me" - Shane Dwight
Momma loves a little dirty blues
"The Royal We" - Silversun Pickups
This might be the earwormiest of them all, I've developing a serious music crush on Silversun Pickups, they sound different enough to stand out but familiar enough to be completely addictive
"Drive" - Gary Go
One of the best covers I've heard in a long time, Gary Go elevates The Cars tune to a beautiful new level
"Fearless" - Taylor Swift
You may have noticed I love Taylor. This is my current favorite off her disc of the same name. Just makes me smile
"Clockwork" - Mutemath
Mutemath (Mute Math? I still don't know) was introduced to me through the Twilight soundtrack, but their latest cd "Armistice" is fantasti. I air drum with this song, sad but true
"I Shall Believe" - Sheryl Crow
Another oldie buy goodie, still a little haunting, still extremely sexy
"Boom" - Anjulie
Great combo of slinky and danceable that makes it perfect music to get ready to
"Friends" - Band of Skulls
Exactly why I was so excited when I first learned BOS was going to be included on the New Moon soundtrack, I love them and can't wait for everyone else to love them. My fave song on the soundtrack (at least today)
"Junebug" - Robert Francis
Perfect driving with the windows down song, even if it's too cold to do that anymore
"Beautiful Is Gone" - The Ruse
The only band to ever randomly start following me on twitter that I found I really really love. I don't understand how this isn't a #1 song.
"Through & Through & Through" - Joel Plaskett
Kind of retro, late 70's feel makes it a lazy Sunday song
"Happy Ending" - Mika
I admit, I make up elaborate movie scenes in my head to this song on the el in the morning
"Feeling Good" - Muse
What Adam Lambert was aiming for when he did this song on American Idol

Monday TwiHard Report


Eclipse filming is a wrap and New Moon is rapidly approaching (huzzah!)

The media meltdown for New Moon is starting to bubble, so far the holy Twinity has been booked for the Today show and Regis & Kelly (hopefully Reeg has learned Kristen's name by now) but Ellen may have scored the crown jewel...booking Rob Pattinson all by his lonesome. Let's see if he brings the whole family back to sit in the audience again.

If you somehow missed the new "Save Her" spot...here you go!




Have I mentioned lately I'm excited? I am...a little...I hope I don't piddle on the rug.

Those kids at Summit know the second New Moon premieres, the Eclipse onslaught begins in earnest. So via the @twilight twitter acct, they treated us to the title treatment for Eclipse:




Ooooh ominous! Well, as ominous as a few words can be, but I like it, it's a start! There is going to be a LOT of time to fill before Eclipse hits theaters in Summer of '10. New Moon was somewhat balanced with Eclipse filming tidbits (and the uberstalking of it's cast), but if they don't film Breaking Dawn in whatever way they're going to do, it's going to be a long dry winter.

Whenever, and however they approach Breaking Dawn, it would be nice if the cast didn't have to hideout...most notably Rob & Kristen nee Robsten.  My friend Tracy (@rosenfie) but together her first video about just that topic. Pretty damn good for a first shot!  :)

Thursday TwiHard Report

The hits just keep on coming! Yahoo has posted a new fight scene with the Volturi, when Edward intervenes to save Bella. I don't care what anyone says, this makes me want to see the movie MORE not LESS! (The thumbnail links to the video since they've disable embedding.)


New Moon - Volturi fighting scene @ Yahoo! Video


Bad. Ass.

Never Fails

Signs of life! Right after I say nothing is going on. Of course.

From the Twilight twitter page (which you should be following, see post below) -
The first #NewMoon TV spot called "Event" will debut tonight on Access Hollywood and will be available online on Fandango!!

I'm assuming it will appear on the Fandango New Moon fansite so if you want to see more, check it out...if you're holding out for the full monty, Godspeed to you.

UPDATED: Link directly to the new spot on Fandango here.
