It Must Be Christmas

and I'm late as hell! Apparently the new single from The Strokes (Undercover of Darkness) dropped a few days ago, and I was no where near the awesomeness to put my two cents in. 

I like it. It's kind of what I expected to come from them after that long ass wait. I didn't want anything to be hard and intense, so this light and fluffy sound is really nice. It's just what I need. 

Now the mission presented to me is figuring out what the hell Julian is saying. I love him, but sometimes I swear he sings with marbles in his mouth.

It's About Damn Time!

I can't tell you how long I have been without my Strokes, but let's say it's been 4 years too many! How dare they!

Anywho, I just read on Perez that The Strokes are headed to the studio and releasing a new album some time in January. OOOOOOHHHHHH After 4 years this better be good!

Julian Casablancas: I think January. I was told not to predict anymore. But I’m pretty sure it should be out in January. For me, there’s something about recording in New York - I was just thinking about it literally yesterday for the first time, in terms of if I could have a choice, because everywhere I’ve ever recorded has kinda been like a logical choice or out of necessity. But there’s something about recording in a nice studio in New York. Maybe it’s just because it’s expensive, I dunno. Recording in LA is nice though.

I swear I can't contain myself. I'm dong the chair wiggles!

Happy Birthday Albert!

Albert Hammond Jr,my favorite Stroke, turns 30 today!

What happened to Ricky Martin?

 I remember rocking the self titled Ricky Martin album like nobody's business. It was my shiz. Now I can't tell you the last time I've seen it, but thanks to youtube I can listen to any song from that album any time I feel like it.

Today, I felt an urge to listen to some Ricky and reflect on a time when all I had to worry about was rushing home to watch MTV's Spring Break '99. OH! Those were the days. What happened to them? Damn! I wish they were here again.

Anyway, Ricky had it going on back in the day. I remember I used to practice writing Mrs. Ricky Martin in sophisticated looking handwriting on my trapper keeper about a million times. You couldn't tell me that I wasn't going to marry him. *snort*

Sometime after his 1999 explosion, Ricky released another album, but it didn't have the same impact on me like the first one. In fact, I didn't even buy the album, in a way it was a good thing. William Hung totally ruined it for me. Hell maybe that's what happened to Ricky Martin! William Hung killed his career! I hope that's not true and something that I just created in my head, because it would give me another reason to hate William Hung. I really don't need that; I'm trying to become the better person Conan told me to be.

Maybe sometime in the future Ricky will be back on stage shaking his cute ass at the camera. Until then, I don’t know what I will do…I’ll probably continue to listen to The Strokes, Kings of Leon, and MGMT so there would be no need to fret. However, I do wish there was at least one cute guy in those groups to stare at. Well there is Fab, but I’m really not into the heroin look. Oh well…

Conan O'Brien is an inspiration

 Dear Internet,

My cynicism is officially dead. While watching the end of Conan's run as the host of The Tonight Show, Conan tearfully pointed to the camera and told me (not really only me but I felt as if he were talking to me so shhh!!!) to stop being cynical, work hard, and become a nice person. While I feel that I am a nice person, I have my moments of undeniable cynicism. I used to be somewhat optimistic about life, but after moving to L.A. last year and having my smart ass handed to me, my outlook on life seemed to change. Conan has helped me see the light. I will no longer look at life and point out what's wrong with it. I will forever and always be thankful that I am still alive and blessed to be here. I am, from this point on, a positive person. I will wake up and smile in the morning, while I do a little dance to my WAKE UP IT'S MORNING! iTunes playlist.

Thank you Conan. FOREVER TEAM COCO!
