Fab Moretti

“I tell you this, I don’t know what’s going to happen man, but I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.” Jim Morrison on astrology

It’s a pretty good week for new releases. The debut album from Strokes’ drummer Fab Moretti’s side project Little Joy is the best of the bunch. Moretti is joined by Los Angeles native Binki Shapiro and Rodrigo Amarante (Los Hermanos). The band is playing December 7th @ The Troubadour. Tickets are still available (Buy Tix $15). I assume this show will sell out soon; hipsters paradise. That said, I just bought tickets.

Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan’s album Sunday At Devil Dirt is great.

Anathallo has created quite a buzz. Some bloggers are calling Canopy Glow one of the best albums of the year. I wouldn’t go that far. The musical arrangements are nice, but I still need to give it a few more listens.

I haven’t heard The Doors album, safe bet it’s good. Ditto with Belle & Sebastian.

From The CBC:
British actor Sacha Baron Cohen has returned to gate-crashing in the U.S., this time bringing his flamboyant gay fashion reporter character Bruno to a California rally calling for a ban on same-sex marriage.

In December, the Los Angeles-based Cohen told a U.K. newspaper that he was retiring Ali G (the dim-witted hip-hop interviewer) and Borat (the uncouth reporter from Kazakhstan) because they have become too well-known and he was increasingly unable to dupe new interviewees.

My Morning Jacket’s cover of the Pet Shop Boys’ “West End Girls” seemed like a strange musical choice for the southern-rock band at the time. It turns out that Jim James has always had a penchant for pop music. He finally had the confidence and label support [ATO] to express this side of himself on Evil Urges. I look forward to seeing which direction James explores on the next album.

The Conchords’ “Inner City Pressure” is a flawless parody of “West End Girls“. It showcases their talent and strength as singer-songwriters. I expect them to record a serious album once the series ends.

I’m really disappointed that I did not have the opportunity to catch one of Mitch Hedberg’s live shows. There is no question that he was the smartest and funniest comedians of his generation. He’s been compared to Steven Wright, but I think that Hedberg’s act is edgier and more entertaining.

I’m warming up to Mitch’s new comedy LP Do You Believe In Gosh?, but I prefer Mitch All Together.

I originally thought that this advertising campaign was clever. But it has officially jump the shark. The new ad from The Most Interesting Man In The World is on grooming.

“Those Who Spend too much Time Shaving Below the Adam’s Apple Have too much Time.” Huh? Sage advice from Captain Creepy. This is the point where you make sure he hasn’t roofied anyone at the table and say your goodbyes.

Eric Roberts

Entourage is killing it this season. The writers and actors are hitting their stride; even Vince is likeable. The casting directors were the true stars of last night’s episode. Guest star Eric Roberts playing the role of the mushroom dealer was genius. He joins the ranks of Hollywood wackos, Gary Busey, Val Kilmer and James Woods of stars that have made memorable cameos in the HBO series.

Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane has a set of brass balls. He based last night’s entire episode on The Trashmen single “Surfin’ Bird” and Jesus’ Resurrection from the dead as an used record store employee. I imagine some people hated it, but you cannot overlook his homage to Office Space when Stewie and Brian smash the 45rpm “Surfin’ Bird” single. Bravo.

“Cause you’re so beautiful…
Like a tree. Or a high class prostitute.
You’re so beautiful.
You could be a part time model.
But you’d probably still have to keep your normal job”
