The Hills Season Premiere


The two-part season 5 premiere of The Hills was complete entertainment. From a pissed off mother-Montag, to sobbing drunk girls on a yaht, to a bar fight over a promiscious bartender. The fake reality show left no dramatic stone unturned. The questions in my head are bubbling. Will Heidi dump Spencer? Will Heidi mend things with Lauren? When did everything revolve around silicone Heidi? Is Heidi going to be the season 6 narrarator? Is it possible that I've had more thoughts about their lives than they've had about their own?

Meg and Dia {Media Literacy}


Meg and Dia's final stop on their tour was in Albuquerque, New Mexico at the Launchpad. The opening bands were: Good with Grenades, Endless Hallway, Shoot My Cupid and Avenge Apollo. Besides the crude-pedophiliac comments bu the Good with Grenades guitarist and the high school girl passing out in the middle of a song, the concert was good. The small Launchpad venue provided an intimate setting. Despite their exhaustion, Meg and Dia's energy was amazing and inspiring. Check out their new CD "Here, Here and Here" which is available on their website http://www.meganddia.com/home for pre-prder and is available everywhere April 21st, 2009. Also, be sure to look up the artists I mentioned on http://www.myspace.com/ or on iTunes.
