Santogold goes on tour...but not stopping in Miami again!

Santogold is on tour in support of self-titled debut album. i saw her perform at ps14, back in july '07, and i've been absolutely crazy about her since, so i wasn't too annoyed when her songs were played in the background of commercials all summer long. she was supposed to play Lollapalooza, but bailed to open for Coldplay. you can check out her dates here, sadly she's not coming to Miami, but hopefully she will in the new year, or maybe, just maybe she'll play Langerado.

Scooting around town

"i want to kiss you all over [with black radiance,] and over and again. bum, bum, bum. til the night closesss in!"

ice cream man!

look how tough that scooter looks next to all those bikes. in the words of fleetwood mac it "goes it's own way!"

This is how we roll...literally

trailer trash- the secret life of bees

below is the trailer for "the secret life of bees." this movie looks really great and is based on a best selling novel. the main reason i posted this was it gives me a chance to indirectly mention the new "90210" that starts tonight, because i have a huge crush on Tristan Wilds, who happens to be in both. yes Tristan was also on the greatest show ever made, but he's just so damn cute i had to mention him somewhere.

Novak moves on to the quarterfinals

He just won a 3 hour 45 minute match and will play the winner of the Roddick/Gonzalez match, "whoever I play will be in better shape than I am." Keep on, keepin on Novak and congrats on the win!

trailer trash- how to lose friends and alienate people

i adore simon pegg. "hot fuzz" is one of my favorite movies, and i'm really to see whatever he and edgar wright come up with next, but for now he's co-starring in "how to lose friends and alienate people" with the unbelievably hot megan fox and the incredibly talented/handsome jeff bridges. kirsten dunst is in it too and i'm kind of surprised that she doesn't completely suck in the trailer, which was hard enough to watch. the likelihood of me seeing this movie in the theatres changes everyday, we'll see come october.

I love the US Open

It turns out that there's record attendance at the US Open this year. The tournament is expecting 780,000 people during the fortnight, which is 180,000 people more than were watching tennis 10 years ago. I'm just happy people are excited about tennis. Especially people aside from John McEnroe, who has apparently covered almost every major match that's happened since the tournament has started. He's actually spent so much time in the booth, the rest of the crew is wondering when was the last time he slept. "Sleep is overrated" was his response. Soon after a new stat popped up on screen:

MCENROE COMPARISON
Hours covered: 96
Hours slept: 12

And now he's talking about the air guitar championships & guitar hero, while they cut to the live music being performed out on the plaza.

I'm glad Venus Williams is winning 6-1, 1-1 in the 2nd set, so the team can shoot the breeze during the beating Radwanska is getting.
