So the other night I had a first date with this girl...

I sorta knew her from her being a customer where I work (and where I used to work...I've know her for a couple of years as a customer, but we've never hung out.) I finally decided to ask her out since she's really into cool music...she also dj's at our community radio station....

Top 10 CD's of 2006!

It's time for David Jett's top 10 cd's of 2006! As usual, the criteria is a combination of many things...album quality, amount of time the cd spent in my car cd player, etc. Live recordings and best of compilations are not eligable (if they were, the new Oasis best of double cd would be right up there!) People always complain...

Be Your Own Pet canceled their show at the Young Ave. Deli in Memphis last Friday night. The opening acts had played, BYOP had set up their gear, but then cute little lead singer gal refused to come out of her van. The story is that she had a "lover's quarrel" earlier in the day, was in tears, kicked doors and walls at the deli,...

I just read my friend Jessica's blog. She's reading a Keith Richards biography and it included this entertaining story:


We ended up, that first night together, October 19, 1969, at the Yamato-E, a trendy late-sixties L.A. Japanese restaurant, where the atmosphere wasn't entirely friendly. As we were preparing to leave, a man and woman encountered Keith coming back from the toilet. "You'd be cute," the...

Randomness...

-Rumors are floating that Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip may not be on the air much longer. I hope that's not true. It's ironic that NBC execs recently stated that they are looking to do more reality programming...bigger audience, cheaper to produce. It's ironic given a lot of the storylines on Studio 60. I hope they give this show a chance. It's one...

Sandy West, R.I.R.

From the AP Newswire:

Sandy West, whose ferocious drumming fueled the influential all-female `70s rock band the Runaways, which she co-founded with Joan Jett, has died of lung cancer. She was 47. West died Saturday night at a hospice in San Dimas, east of Los Angeles, her manager Mara Fox said. She was diagnosed a year ago.

West was only 16 when...

This made me laugh...

A couple of nights ago I hung out with an ex-girlfriend who was in town for a friend's wedding. When I called her to figure out exactly where/when we were getting together, the following exchange took place:

Her: "what are you wearing?"
Me: "What am I wearing? ...what I always wear..."
Her: "Shit. Now I gotta dress up."

For no real reason..

Here is the list of weekly tv shows I currently watch. I've listed them by the days they air, but thanks to Tivo/DVR, I never watch the shows at those times/days. These are mostly the major network shows. I've left off things like Ebert & Rober and M-TV Subterranean, etc. So, here's a look inside my Tivo:

Monday: Heroes, Studio 60...

This week sees the release of not only the new Killers cd, but the release of the second disc by one of my favorite new bands, JET!

In honor of their new cd (I've heard the first single, and let's just say that the phrase "more cowbell" has never been more appropriate,) I'll tell the story about their first cd. I was working at Spin...

"Oh, dude! Do you know who you look like?!"

I've heard this question, oh, about three-gazillion times since I was the age of 10. Way before I even needed and wore glasses. Yes, I know who I look like. I look exactly like David Jett.

Ok, the answer to the question is "John Lennon." I've been told so many times in my life that I...

-Supernova (Tommy Lee, etc.) have changed their band name due to losing a court case to a band already named Supernova. So what is the new name? Rockstar: Supernova. Yes, they named themselves after the tv show title. Rockstar:Supernova is ok, but they don't rock nearly as much as The Amazing Race or Boston Legal...and Meet the Press is one kick-ass band!

-I got to...
