I really like this bit of this
interview with Jarvis Cocker...
Q: Why don't you get contacts?
JC: I have got contacts. I wear them on stage. I had to do that because my glasses used to fall off. There was one incident at a gig in Sheffield where I was crawling around the stage for about 10 minutes looking for them – they'd fallen into the bass drum. I'm very shortsighted and people always say, "Why don't you get laser treatment?" But I quite like waking up in the morning and everything being soft and fuzzy. It's nice to choose when to bring the world into focus and start your day.
Nicely put, Jarv.
Last night's
Best Show on WFMU was a classic - Tom Scharpling turned his show into a testosterone-fueled locker room jock-rock talk show, like something off of an AM sports station. Bring it!
I must say that I'm a bit afraid to see next week's
Gilmore Girls, what with the story including Rory and Jess getting into a car accident which is going to hurt Rory and cause Lorelai and Luke to get in a huge fight that will last the rest of the season. It's depressing. I've come to love those characters so much, that I don't want to see them get hurt or upset - sigh. And I read the spoilers for the upcoming episodes - it's only going to get worse from here on out...
