VIRGIN MEGASTORE is closing. This is a personal attack on me! I met/saw Albert Hammond Jr. and Little Joy there. And Agyness Deyn. I wore the hazard orange plastic wristband for like six months after the AHJ show. It cannot be true! Wahh.
MISS YOU!
Other than that I watched the Jonas Brother sitcom thing on TV. Obnoxiously bad. Can't wait to do a video remix of the song they preformed on the first episode (Flight of the Conchords style.) Other things they knocked off include The Monkees' TV show and a few other pop culture references their target audience wouldn't even begin to understand: ex, Nick Jonas' love interest Penny was playing a gig at CBDBs. Yes, CBDB. I kid you not. Someone, anyone, punch a writer. Cue weird supplementary JB pic...
So last night the Jonas Brothers were the musical guest on SNL with Alec Baldwin hosting. I was especially excited this week to watch because I love the Jonas Brothers. Not their music though. I received most of their catalog from an actual fan/friend and can't listen to more than a couple at a time, because they're not very good. Screechy. Annoying riffs. Bad, overtly rhyming writing.
So how can I love them? I'm in love with their image. This is not to be confused with their appearance and metro-sexual style. I see them from a critical approach, I love why they're famous but not their fame. Perfect boy band recipe. Let's pretend we're record execs: we sign them. Sure, they're not that great, not really doing anything new, but look at them!
LOOK AT THEM! Millions of Disney Channelers would give anything for them! Perfect. Boy. Band. Formula. Who cares what they sound like!
Anyway, so Lorne was probably crying in his office last night since the show ran so short. And I feel like the writers put all of their effort into the Jonas Brother sketches. Even Andy hooked them for his digital short...
And Alec Baldwin as the fourth brother Gary Jonas for the first sketch of the show, I bet they had huge ratings early last night.
