you can't spell STAR without A & R

andrew mcmahon [jack's mannequin/ something corporate] is so more hipster than he makes himself appear to be [disclaimer: i am using this term ridic loosely. thanks]. should've known when he said he goes to cinespace + spaceland. and then one time, when i confided in him that hipsters are intimidating sometimes.. "you just have to remember they're [just people too]." wise words. except i made up that bracketed portion.. mostly cos i can't remember what he said.

interview posted on livejournal yesterday:
One band we should look out for or listen to.

This band called the Cold War Kids out of California that I was trying to sign, but it looks like I missed the boat on, they’re great. Street to Nowhere from San Francisco- very, very, very cool band. They have a record out now called ‘Charmingly Awkward’ that’s really good, and they just signed to Capitol.

then of course ultragrrrl had blogged about Cold War Kids playing a show in NY on friday.

and of course rock insider posted mp3s of Cold War Kids and Street to Nowhere in this entry a few days ago.

so.. of course i had to check them out. btw hang me up to dry [cold war kids] is avail on rock insider's blog and that one is my favorite.

AND PS. GUESS WHO IS GOING TO THE SOLD OUT PANIC!/ DRESDEN DOLLS/ HUSH SOUND SHOW ON WEDNESDAY AT THE WILTERN. YEP. ME. YAAAAAAAA I'M SCREAMING LIKE A 12YR OLD.

so more scene

I’ll be honest with you–none of the music I write about on here is going to end world hunger, or create peace in the Middle East. Some of the music might not even be very good. But the most important thing about this stuff is that it makes people happy. Some of the music saves kids’ lives and gives people hope. Have you seen anything more joyous than a sea of 1,000 kids simultaneously jumping up and down at a Taking Back Sunday concert at Irving Plaza like it’s the best day of their lives? I know I haven’t.
