Cultural Affairs
I went on a bit of an insound binge, and thus far, I can happily recommend the long-awaited Mascott album as well as The Wrens and Jason Collett.
Should you come into a large sum of money and decide that you'd like to take me on a wee trip, may I suggest that we follow my boyfriend Joe Pernice and local faves The Belles around Europe? Just a thought.
When Erica was here a few weekends ago, we were at Love Garden, and I found a copy of Matthew Sweet's Girlfriend, which may, along with the majority of my stuff, be residing in a storage unit in the Bronx, but I bought it again anyway, and I've been totally feeling the early '90s since. Not that I'm not feeling the early '90s all the freaking time. And hey, all this talk of Matthew Sweet reminded me of his Lum tattoo (sadly, what probably attracted me to manga in the first place. So here you go, Matthew's tat in all its glory.
And while we're talking about the early '90s, during my telly coma of a few weeks ago, I happened upon Lisa Loeb's cooking show. Okay, it's actually Lisa Loeb and her husband, Dweezil Zappa, with the creatively named Dweezil & Lisa but you know, it was sorta cute. The episode I saw was a "deception dinner" for Dweezil's sis's (who of course had some Zappa name like Astroglide) birthday, so all the food looked like another food item. I thought the cupcake lasagna was pretty rad. Plus, they've got a pink KitchenAid mixer so we love them!
Zach Braff from Scrubs was on Martha last week, and it was pretty great. They were building a "dog dining station" for Zach's new puppy, Roscoe (ooooh!) and during the segment, there would be these little Scrubs-style voiceovers which were hilarious, considering that one of them was Zach waiting for Martha to help him with something, so the voiceover was something to the effect of "She's Martha freaking Stewart and she can't help me with this?" Say what you will about Martha, but the woman does have a sense of humor. It's hidden deep down, but she has it.
I'll admit it, I was a little sad about the ending of Ed. Go ahead, roll your eyes. Ain't no shame in my game. Here's something more cogent about the great characters on the show.
I haven't caved in to many of the reality television shows (unless you count MTV's Rich Girls) but there's a disproportionate amount of KC ladies on the tube these days, which amuses local media outlets to no end. The Pitch weighs in with "Hurl Power" on this very topic.
