Aah I remember when she used to be a co-host of Cheez TV back in the day...

Pretty cool that she's doing the solo music thing now; her songs are so fun to listen to. Definitely planning to get her album soonish.

Polls / Do you have an accent?
« on: January 31, 2009, 08:58:02 pm »
I'm pretty sure everyone would technically have an accent.
I have a sort of Australian one, but it's only really obvious if I say words like "Australia" or use aussie slang.

i wouldn't put them with power pop necessarily.. actually, that's a good question.. back in the days of insomniac, i'd probably called them punk rock (not punk.. punk rock. there's a difference. imo). these days... it's rock, but it's also pretty pop.. rock pop if you will. (not pop rock).


exactly, punk-rock would be an appropriate genre to place them in.

God, I hope they don't turn into the Jonas Brothers. That would be horrifying...but also kind of hilarious.

People who blame The Inc for how the album sounds are blaming the wrong person.

Irv gave her 100% creative control. He didn't make her do anything with that album.

If you want to blame anybody, blame Vanessa.


word up.

'Luckified'?
Has she been 'Galindafied'?

ahahaha. Reading that got a part of "What is This Feeling?" in my head, the bit that goes: "Poor Galinda forced to reside / with someone so disgusticified / we just want to tell you we're all on your side!"

aanyway...it's awesome to finally hear from V. Can't wait to hear what she's been working on, whether it be album related or film scores :D

Completely Off-Topic / Customer Service....

YA author Maureen Johnson wrote this bit in answer to a customer-related question on her blog. :P don't know how much actual help it would be though, lol.

Quote from: "Maureen Johnson"
I have held many jobs in which I dealt with the public. I remember well dealing with bitchy, longwinded, annoying, unfriendly people who have come to take your time and ruin your life. This kind of customer is impossible to dismiss. They don’t care about you, or the other people, or common decency. They’ll scream, they’ll throw money in your face, knock things off shelves. They’ll make twenty people wait in line behind them while they rant and rave and announce that they don’t care. You can never be rude back, sadly, as that just adds fuel to the fire (and see the above questions for where that will get you).

This kind of anti-Cheer behavior must be stopped. I used to employ many methods for doing this. Here is one of my favorites. It never failed me.

Say you work at Target, at the customer service counter. For the last twenty minutes, you have watched a horrible woman screaming about the fact that the store has run out of the Hannah Montana Rockstar Powerdrill and Bake Sets that were advertised in the circular. She has been taking out her wrath on an innocent checkout girl. The checkout girl, reduced to tears, pointed at your counter in defeat. Now it is your turn for punishment. But no. You will not go down quietly. You need to be one step ahead of her. Before she even gets to your desk, run around so that you are standing in front of her on the same side of the counter. Bow low at the waist and pretend to take off a hat.

From this point on, speak entirely in Renaissance Fair speak. Wring your hands together and say something like, “Please, good madam, speak to me that I may absorb the gist of your need!”

This should set her a little off-balance, but she’ll keep rambling on. Whatever she says, just look shocked and exclaim “Most injurious, sweet lady! Most assuredly injurious!” Offer her a chair. If there is no chair, offer your own back as a bench. Say, “Fie on this! Fie, fie! Come. Together we shall investigate this injustice and rectify all that seeks rectification.”

Lead her away. Make sure to keep stopping and bowing and that you always walk a few steps behind. Go to the toy section, but to the wrong aisle. Proceed to take every single toy off the shelf and ask, “Doth this be the object of merriment?” Whenever she looks like she is tiring of you, jump up and down and exclaim, “Curseth my pumpkin head! I have possessed the knowledge all this while! I will bring the bauble henceforth!” Disappear. Come back with a toaster oven.

After an hour or so, when you have exhausted all the objects in the aisle, scream at the top of your lungs and say, “Fair lady! Fair lady! Do you hear the sound of carriage wheels on the road and the steps of a hundred mighty horses? I THINK THE QUEEN IS COMING!” Run out of the store and never come back.

I cannot wait for their new album!
Have you guys heard 'Halloween' yet? I think it's featuring on a compilation CD and they also posted a myspace video of them playing it acoustic in their bathroom, lol.

I'm kind of obsessed with 'Hug Me til You Drug Me' at the moment :D
