… but posted on sunday. Here are a couple things that I thought looked cool on Pop Candy but forgot to post about till now. You can get some free buttons from NBC to support shows getting emmys. Check it out here.
Bill Cosby’s daughter found sweaters sweaters Bill wore during the Cosby Show and is auctioning them off. Cosby sweaters! I keep telling people how cool it would be to have one, but I think I am the only one excited about it. Oh yeah, and they start at $5,000 dollars each.
I get a huge kick out of stories about how bizarre it is to work for Disney. Check out this story about being a Jack Sparrow.
I’m a sucker for comic book themed superhero movies and Ironman is no exception. While I was a little apprehensive about Robert Downey Jr. playing the lead I was pleasantly surprised by his portrayal of Tony Stark. Now this is a superhero movie so if looking for a bitchin’ plot twist or complex characters this is not the show for you. But if explosions and visual effects are your cup-o-tea then I highly suggest checking this out in the theatre. Be sure to stay til all the credits roll as there is a clip at the end.
Stereogum reports every movement of her, Pitchfork liked her album, and she hasn’t gotten so popular that theres any huge backlash against her. Robyn has great voice, but not being a huge “electro-pop” fan, she is just ok for me. So why would I post about her? Cause this song is hilarious…
Just like John Mayer’s ability to fluctuate the like-ability scale, the Foo Fighters manage to put out a decent song every once in a while and do something hilarious to keep me from not liking them anymore. The latest thing is from Stereogum, via gawker, via…. Anyways, its the Foo Fighters rider list, which is a list of things that a band requires of it promoter when it comes to a venue. There is a little rant about bacon that says “Bacon, I call it ‘god’s currency.’ Hell, if it could be breathed, I would.” Check it out here. Its a personal goal of mine to wrap a oreo or a chips-a-hoy in bacon and then deep fry it.
Head to Smoking Gun to check out some great other tour riders too. Rolling Stones required a snooker table, which is not to be confused with a pool table. Van Halen are famously know for requiring brown M&M’s, and actually refusing to play once when that wasn’t met. They are also very specific about their alcohol. I haven’t read that many, but another one is Britney’s Spears’ rider list includes a requirement of an “UNLISTED OUTGOING ONLY telephone” while also saying that “Publishing of this phone number and/or any incoming calls will result in a $5,000 fine payable by the promoter.”
