All Roads Lead to Bush... the Band That Is
Ivana: did you vote? early and often?
Lenny: i voted early... working on often
Ivana: Rae Cline just im'd me: kerry is ahead in MI, WI, OH, PA & FL!!!
Lenny: this is good, i hope it holds. kroq also voted early this week
Ivana: do Bush have a new record?
Lenny: yes, all his exes live in texas
Ivana: with his 15-year-old daughter he just found out about
Lenny: i didn't know about that
Ivana: Yeah, gavin's "goddaughter" turned out to be his real daughter. whoops.
Lenny: bill gavin? isn't he still dead?
Ivana: and gavin macleod's son is way older than 15--he's been working at HITS for that long!
Lenny: who, bill gavin or george bush?
Ivana: it's the beginning of the column and we've already resorted to "who's on first?" pathetic.
Lenny: ok, let's talk about music, or in this case The Music
Ivana: Great song--Jane's Addiction-meets-Zeppelin
Lenny: could be a big hit
Ivana: I hope so, maybe Ted won't notice that the Clippers suck. Big week for him: ktbz, wgrd, wdyl, kbzt, wlum, wpbz
Lenny: he'll notice, but he may not care as much.... ted rocks… what else do i like this week?
Ivana: What were you saying about KROQ earlier?
Lenny: that they voted early, voted for Hoobastank as only add... Howie and Christine put it away this week with 6 biggies… let's talk about some of our other favorites songs, what checks came in today?
Ivana: Geordie had another big week with Elefant
Lenny: that band is HOT
Ivana: So you agree that Diego is the best-looking frontman in music today? hands off, bitch, he's mine
Lenny: never saw him
Ivana: you just know the check cleared
Lenny: have we talked about the killers, "mr. brightside" is my favorite song—is it #1 yet?
Ivana: Almost. Will be by Xmas
Lenny: cool. and how are things with joel and jacqueline, their follow-ups look good and what is this zu-tones thingy?
Ivana: Zutons
Lenny: them too
Ivana: They have a Levi's commercial
Lenny: that's helpful, good for that all-important callout issue
Ivana: fuck callout
Lenny: uh-oh, another HR problem
Ivana: (except for KROQ callout on Interpol, which we LOVE)
Lenny: i hear interpol is getting some strong callout and heading top ten
Ivana: yes indeed. Adds at KTBZ and WDYL this week.
Lenny: has there been an indie record that's gone top ten? this is big.
Ivana: The PD at KZON has been relieved of his responsibilities
Lenny: my chemical romance looks big, right? kzon added hoobastank, too
Ivana: So did 99X, KTCL, WEND, WLUM
Lenny: phil costello and lynn mcdonnell are getting hot. green day is another runaway
Ivana: Lynn is always hot
Lenny: true
Ivana: Pete Yorn is IMing me: Vote or Die
Lenny: i voted, so i live
Ivana: I hope everybody voted
Lenny: did u not talk about klaiman yet? he won't be happy
Ivana: Klaiman is a genius
Lenny: there u go
Ivana: Without him, radio would have nothing to play
Lenny: without him, there would be no business
Lenny: ok, we love modest mouse and franz.... that's obvious.... i also love the new coheed & cambria record, which is out next week, but already on at WBCN and KRBZ... strong.
Lenny: kingston calling, brb
Ivana: are you going to see tv on the radio and the faint with me next week?
Lenny: fucking kingston won't add my records
Ivana: he's still in radio?
Lenny: no, that is the problem
Lenny: tv on the radio is cool, but their manager is even cooler. that asif guy is a riot
Ivana: the main tvotr guy was at the Interpol show. Asif didn't tell me so I'd blush when I saw him
Lenny: is tvotr a typo meaning tivo?
Ivana: no, it's tv on the radio
Lenny: i like tivo. what about exies, what does that stand for?
Ivana: not sure, as long as it doesn't mean another fight about the band X, who are brilliant
Lenny: hate them
Ivana: do you still love the donnas?
Lenny yes, always have.... donna reed was a favorite when i was growing up and i love her in that christmas movie
Ivana: it was the Donna Reed Show, right?
Lenny: yes, and it's a wonderful life
Ivana: I hate that movie
Lenny: every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings, c'mon
Ivana: bums me out every time. bad santa-now there's an uplifting holiday movie
Ivana: KROQ is playing Interpol's "Evil" now--I must dance
Lenny: bad santa is an all-time classic. it is sooooo evil
Ivana: "I spent a life span with no cellmate.Tthe long way back.sandy, why can't we look the other way?"Lenny: huh?
Ivana: lyrics from "Evil"
Lenny: oy vey. who's getting the kzon job?
Ivana: my guess would be john michael
Lenny: that would be good. who's gonna win the election, since this will go to print before we know
Ivana: ever the optimist, i'm going with kerry. and therefore, AMERICA WILL BE THE WINNER
Lenny: i'll take kerry also, but we can change it online if we are wrong
Ivana: now fran from travis is asking me if I voted. do I look like a civic slacker?
Lenny: no comment
Ivana: i pay my parking tickets!
Lenny: that makes one of us
Ivana: i weasel my way out of jury duty! i AM american!
Lenny: and goodnight mrs. calabash, wherever u r.
