Sounds like Future Of The Left torturing Howlin Pelle Almqvist" MUSIC WEEK – “Switching between twisted pop sensibilities that scream Talking Heads and a bass driven heft that takes more than a little from Queens Of The Stone Age" ARTROCKER - "On a mission to make The Futureheads look lethargic" BBC ONLINE – “Like Franz Ferdinand coming out of prison and losing faith in humanity, Baddies are every A and R man’s dream” RECORD OF THE DAY – “If In The City 2008 ‘belonged’ to any one band by virtue of how excited people were by them, then Baddies were that band.

the laist's comments are funny

Gwyneth Paltrow Goop http://goop.com/ from laist.com For those of you too busy standing in line for unemployment checks to snark at celebs online, former LA resident and occasional actress Gwyneth Paltrow is now the full time proprietor of GOOP, the most unintentionally hilarious guide to better living since the 1970s edition of the Joy of Sex1. Each week, Gwyneth sends out a GOOP newsletter with helpful suggestions on how to live the good life. Clearly they're culled from a time capsule she prepared about a decade ago because one might think from reading that she has never even heard the word "recession". Or maybe she subscribes to The Secret and believes that if she pretends everything is great, maybe it really will be!2 For this week's letter, Gwyn's finally turned her razor dull sense of class and timing back to her former Los Angeles shopping grounds, and the result is pure Epic Fail. She begins thusly: Los Angeles, where I was born and partially raised... Okay, I was going to let the statement live free but right out the gate we're already hip deep in silly. I give you the following True Lifetm LAist conversation: Beth Kopley: which part of her was raised in L.A.? snark, snark. Elise Thompson: what part of her remains unraised? Ross Lincoln: her brain God: Zing! DISCLAIMER: God didn't actually exist in time for this article. Everything else is true. In the midst of a terrifying economic downturn that always seems to happen whenever Republicans are allowed to fuck up the country, there's nothing in the world quite like a well meaning but clueless person who comes from a ton of money and affects a bohemian outlook!3. The type of person who treats conventions that arise from relative poverty like an optional lark ("you should go thrifting!"4), offers career advice that assumes that everyone facing the end of their unemployment benefits can simply call up their Dad's tycoon friends and land themselves a plum job with the New York Times5, and most infuriatingly, assumes that their experience is common and will insist until the cows come home that they aren't rich at all. The purest, most distilled form of this person is Gwyneth. Los Angeles, where I was born and partially raised, will always hold a special place in my heart. Not the L.A. of Hollywood, but the old-school seventies beach vibe that which still lingers in corners. As strange, spread out and flatly lit as it can sometimes be, Los Angeles, with its bougainvillea, sea breezes, avocados and eccentric inhabitants, is like no other place and will always be in my soul. What the hell is she talking about? I love LA a lot, it's my favorite place in all the land, but LA in the 70s was a terrifying dystopian nightmare. The economy sucked so much it tore a hole in the fabric of spacetime that led directly to the Hair Metal scene of the 80s. Smog was so bad CHiPs looked like it took place on a prairie. Fuck man, The Crips started in the 70s. And the beach vibe? We're talking about the Dogtown and Z-Boyz times, when the laid back beach people would beat the living shit out of you if you didn't know the territory6. Then again, LA was and remains one of America's drugs and sex capitals, so I can see how, if you weren't suffocating, being thrashed with a skateboard, homeless, or being shot by gang members, even in the 70s was a pretty sweet place. And Gwyneth should know, since she was 8 when it ended. She's right about one thing though - that old school 70s vibe still lingers around the corners, particularly in MacArthur park after midnight. Anyway, Gwyneth proceeds to the newsletter proper, and though the whole thing is just... too... long... to reprint here, we're happy to summarize. First up, some recommendations on places to stay: Shutters on the Beach 1 Pico Blvd. Santa Monica, CA 90405 http://www.shuttersonthebeach.com Quoth the Gwyneth: Shutters is my favorite place to stay in L.A. Make sure you get a room with an ocean view. It has a beautiful, breezy vibe, big bathtubs, good sheets. I return to it again and again. Look, I bet Shutters on the Beach is a great place to stay. I also bet nobody reading this will ever find out, you know why? Here's a quote from their website: Rates From $425 Awesome! Thanks Palmar!7 The London West Hollywood 1020 N. San Vicente Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069 http://www.thelondonwesthollywood.com I haven't actually been here- You haven't? Thanks! Guess I don't need to go. Things Gwyn hasn't done that she recommends also include: Deserving an Oscar; having a convincing English accent. Another thing she recommends without first hand experience is where to eat8. Let's see where she sends us! La Scala 434 N. Canon Dr. Beverly Hills, CA 90210 http://www.lascalabeverlyhills.com Gwyn tell us that I am obsessed with chopped salad, and this place knows how to do it Italian style. These two thoughts do not appear to belong in the same sentence. I'm going to leave it at that. Chinois on Main 2709 Main St. Santa Monica, CA 90405 http://www.wolfgangpuck.com Chinois is another Los Angeles classic, one of Wolfgang Puck's first restaurants. It is what it sounds like, an amazing fusion of French and Chinese food. I'm sorry, but did anyone out there read "Chinois" and think "fusion of French and Chinese"? If it is what it sounds like to me, then it's probably a French brand of Khakis. Unsurprisingly, her taste in food isn't bad, so it's hard to really tear her apart except for the fact that she tends to say stupid things like: For some reason, all great sushi spots in L.A. come in a mini-mall Sure, that's what I think of when I think of "Little Tokyo". A mini mall. This place constantly tests my friendship with [Restaurant Proprietor] because I am always asking for a table for myself or a loved one. Translation: I make my friend angry because I act like a spoiled hollywood diva. Good to know. Nate'n Al is THE place in L.A. for authentic deli food... Great quality and truly delish. Is she saying "delish" as in "delicious" or "delish", as in "Like a deli"? You make the call! Unfortunately, she ruins whatever goodwill built up by her taste in food by turning her gaze eastward. As she wraps up her e-mail, uncontent with the west side, she now commands her legions of readers to ruin the East Side as well. Scoops 712 N. Heliotrope Dr. Los Angeles, CA 90029 (323) 906-2649 Dammit Gwyn, you stay the hell away from here! Scoops is practically the best thing in LA and it's already next to impossible to get in after 6 PM. DO NOT start sending an Army of zombies to ruin one of the last remaining things that still feels like that part of LA, pre-housing "boom". Alegria on Sunset 3510 W. Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90026 (323) 913-1422 http://www.alegriaonsunset.com No. NO! NOT ALEGRIA TOO!!! Clean, fresh, delicious Mexican food in Silverlake – don't be afraid because it's hiding in a mini-mall! Alegria is very good and while I hope this brings business to it, that doesn't change the fact that Gwyneth needs to cut back on the hash-brownies. The rest is more of the same. Lots of sooper expensive Beverly Hills/West Side haunts with the occasional east side location (nothing west of Micheltoreno tho!) thrown in for good measure, and reference after reference to mini malls. Apparently, Gwyn really wants mini malls to be the new thrift stores when it comes to slumming it for the Bo-Ho set9. I predict that she'll be hipsterizing food stamps in 2015. Look Gwyn, we at LAist appreciate your love for our city. We do. Most people spend their time dissing LA indiscriminately, usually without any real experience here10 aside from breezing through every 4 years or so. But sometimes, it just doesn't work out. Sometimes, you have no choice but to look at the "free spirit" hippie girl staying on your couch, who just brought home a crazy methed up biker guy without asking permission, and say "Look Riele Hunter, I mean Gwyn. It's not me, it's you. Specifically, they way you keep ruining everything I love." Or in the wording of LA's abbreviated night life11: You don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. Fin. (LMA0)

ah,ok.........

can i ask you how old are you ?

Blur's gig next summer on July 3 in London's Hyde Park http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1670076655/bctid4319131001 When Blur announced plans to make their 2009 comeback yesterday (December 9) they gave just one interview - to NME. Speaking jointly for the first time in almost a decade, frontman Damon Albarn and guitarist Graham Coxon invited NME along to discuss Blur's gig next summer on July 3 in London's Hyde Park, their original split, their reconciliation and their future plans. You can read the interview in full in this week's issue of NME which is on newsstands across the UK now (December 10). In the meantime, here is a free extract from NME's cover story interview with Blur: NME: Have you rehearsed yet? Damon Albarn: "Nope, we haven't rehearsed at all. We've [pointing at Graham] played together a bit, but not all of us yet." Graham Coxon: "It's odd, I suppose, but it's quite a nice feeling that that is around the corner." NME: How did your jam together go? [both look at each other and giggle] Damon: "Er, it went ok [laughs], it has its moments! We were just mucking around, we just went through many different thoughts playing together." Graham: "It wasn't exactly pop music, it was sort of meditation music." NME: When do all four of Blur get together? Damon: "We better do it pretty soon!" Graham: "That's going to be funny, that's just going to make me laugh. It will be funny to see our four faces again in such close proximity in such a positive way because the last time there were four of us together it was really weird." Damon: "Plus we don't even know what we're going to sound like yet!" [laughs] Graham: "It should sound better, I can play the guitar better [laughs] but that might be a bad thing! When we started I could hardly play the fucking guitar." Damon: "Well I certainly couldn't sing. We couldn't do anything hardly when we started." Graham: "We know we can do our jobs now, but don't want to [be] automatons. In order to give anyone else something out of what we do we have to get something out of it too, you know we have to be nourished. As long as we feel that is going to happen, yeah!"

Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has called his former rival Damon Albarn a "great artist". The star, embroiled in a bitter war of words with the Blur frontman during the 1990s, has finally laid their feud to rest in an interview with The Guardian, branding it "pathetic". Of the feud, which centred on the chart battle between their rival singles 'Roll With It' and 'Country House', Gallagher said: "Looking back now that fight's all so pathetic over two really quite shit pop songs. He's a great artist. "He's different from me. I'm not an artist – for me, it just comes out. He does Chinese operas and that kind of thing, he's got more strings to his bow than I'll ever have." However, asked whether the pair got on, he admitted: "There's always been something between me and him, and I don't know what it is."
