- Robert Carlysle, who played Begbie in Trainspotting, is going to be in the upcoming movie version of Eragon.
- I'm pretty entertained by this. Mostly, I'm entertained by the careful omission of that fact in the making of...book we just got in at the library.
- The ad cover of this issue is Disney Records' 50th anniversary.
- Hey! Lara nad I had that Children's Favorites record. I believe it was a 3 disc set. Awesome.
- oooo! And a trivia quiz!
- The first question is incredibly dumb.
- "Which of these 'performers' is included in the list of 20 most recorded songs in American popular music?" A. Elvis B/ Neil Diamond C. Jiminy Cricket
- Well, quiz, you're either insulting Elvis and/or Mr Diamond, or it's the cricket.
- My aunt used to say "Jiminy Christmas!" as an exclamation.
- "College Radio Killed in Canada?"!?!?
- What!?
- Cara, say it ain't so!
- "AOL and Microsoft target hipsters"
- Yeah, and that always works...
- Wow. There's a giant, full-page "For your Grammy consideration" ad for Neko Case.
- AOL's got one of the Upright Citizens Brigade helping them on that hipster thing.
- Did you know that Morrissey and Axl Rose have the same management?
- I am totally not making that up.
- OK, here's the Canadian thing: "Under Tariff 22...noncommercial radio stations would be required to pay a total of 7.5% of their gross annual revenure, or $200 Canadian ($177) per month, whichever is greater, for a license to broadcast online."
- That's not cool, yo.
- Oasis are releasing a Best Of this holiday shopping season.
- That's actually kind of exciting.
- I can't help but love Oasis.
- So, I keep watching "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" because I'm too lazy to get up after "Heroes" (despite that whole moving in 3 weeks and need to start packing thing), but it's so irritating.
- Like, seriously annoying.
- I never watched "The West Wing"; was it as "I AM MAKING A POINT. LOOK AT THE FUCKING IMPORTANT POINT I AM MAKING" as this show is?
- ew. The HP pavilion's ad is this extreme close up of an attractive woman (who may or may not be famous) and the copy is "Let's Spend the Night Together". ew
- Madonna sings on a giant mirrored (discoballesque) cross on the Confessions tour?
- Now Will.i.am is working with Michael Jackson...
- Oh! So Britney is divorcing K-Fed?
- See, this is the kind of thing I don't hear when our stupid filter is blocking Trent!
- Chris Isaak is covering "I Want You To Want Me".
- Go listen to this band called the Bon Savants. It's good.

dude, i totally told you about the divorce thing...
robert carlyle also starred in the full monty, which i'm guessing they're leaving out as well...
I can't stand The West Wing. I'm not sure if it's infuriating or just sad that people would prefer an idealized mockup of our government over the real thing. I had a recurring argument with my ex over whether to watch the evening news (real government) or The West Wing (fake government.) She always won.
Wait, you know a Lara? That's my real name! :)
Tiff, like with most Billboard posts, I "wrote" this a couple days before I posted it. And the book did mention Full Monty, which I think of as one of those wacky British slightly naughty familyish movies, and I guess the authors agreed.
David, damn straight.
Guinness, my sister's a Lara, too. Do you get all riled up when people spell it Laura as well? :)
YES. And particularly when people pronounce it like it's Laura (mine is pronounced with the LAR rhyming with "car", and then "uh". Easy-peasy). Wait...is your real name Lisa? Because if so, y'all are my & my sister's bizarro selves.
