Hungry Like the Woof

{mosimage}A really smart girl here at the Weekly calls Wolfmother “Crapmother,” because the only song she’s heard is their radio single, “Woman.” If that were the only Wolfmother song I’d ever heard, I might not call them Crapmother, but Poopmeiser would be a definite possibility. “Woman” is tiresome and repetitive......

Ma Ma Ma Ma Monkey!

FIRST THINGS FIRST: I’d like to thank Keith Richards for keeping it interesting. A few questions, however, remain: How does one fall out of a coconut tree? Or, rather, how does one get into a coconut tree in the first place? Or should I say onto? To the best of......

Morning Becomes Sifl & Olly

Bad news. I just got an e-mail announcing that Evanescence are not only together, but have a record coming out in October. (I would have written “Rocktober,” but Evanescence don’t really deserve that, do they?) In other bad news, I want to point out that the post-emo band Hawthorne Heights......

I’m a big American Idol fan, and also a fairly decent-size Dodger fan, and so, at the moment, I am one very fucking happy American girl. I’m telling you: After a deeply awful season last year for the Dodgers and a pretty lame one for Idol, the pride is back......

The Weather Babe

I enjoy watching Jackie Johnson read the weather on Channels 2 and 9, and so do many, many other people. But judging by the predictably salacious comments she garners among Internet losers, my brand of appreciation may not be standard. (Shocker!: There’s an entire Web site dedicated to rating the......

She Contains Multitudes

When Linda Perry first played her song “Beautiful” on the piano for Christina Aguilera, Aguilera knew she wanted to record it right away — and Perry’s heart sank. “ fell into my stomach,” Perry told a reporter in 2003. “I was just inside myself going, ‘Wait, wait, hold on! This......

Gods and Idols

A small part of me died last week when Mandisa, the fertility goddess/gospel mama, was voted off American Idol. It’s one thing to see the mediocre singers go: Like any death, it’s sad, but also reassuring. In your heart, you know it’s the right thing. That’s the beauty of Idol......

Bye-Bye Barrett

For many Indie 103.1 listeners, waking up just hasn’t felt right since Dicky Barrett, host of the Mighty Mighty Morning Show, disappeared last week without a trace, leaving in his place a series of fill-ins –including Dave Navarro — who haven’t exactly rocked anyone’s world. The conditions of Barrett’s departure......

Mighty Mighty No Mo

Indie-103 FM listeners got a surprise Monday when morning host Dicky Barrett wasn’t on the air for his usual Boston-baked punk rock wake-up call wingding. According to a press release sent out Friday, March 24, by his publicist, Barrett was fired from Indie “without an honest explanation,” despite the apparent......
