I love the word "gorge." It reminds me of "gorgon," "gorgeous" and "engorged." Three of my favorite words.

I was there promoting my new movie The Rocker and one of those crop dusting planes kept incessantly circling the festival with a "Rocker - August 1" banner. I mean incessantly. I apologize to all concertgoers for the dizzying ubiquitous ness. [Rainn Wilson]

In case anyone got a mistaken impression from the caption above, Neko Case did NOT perform her solo stuff, just as a member of The New Pornographers.

So, I guess Zach Condon really is married, huh?

^^yes, zach looks married. but, to also address all the ridiculous comments of him getting fat, as if that matters one way or the other, seriously, looking at those pics, no way is that boy fat. look at those tiny arms.

Helllooooooo Ms. Kathleen Edwards. WOW!

That crack about M.I.A. taking a dump is stupid, unless your name is Beavis. Just stop. I'm trying to get some work done, and by work I mean I'm trying to consider M.I.A. in a biblical sense, and when you say she's taking a dump, well, that ruins it.

Kathleen Edwards is a badass, no doubt.

listening to MIA is like getting a huge dump right in the eardrum.
