1:49PM Jess McGuire | Remember the other day when I went to visit Wes Carr and listen to his new album with him? Well, it’s time for us to talk about this glorious event. Have you braced yourself? I am going to do this thing in point form, because I have a short attention span and the idea of writing a long and well thought out review makes my heart and my head hurt. I know you don’t mind. You get me. That’s why our relationship is forever. More »

11:36AM Jess McGuire | After mentioning Josie & The Pussycats earlier, I feel I should introduce those who never bothered seeing the movie to the boyband wonder that is Du Jour.
Brilliant.
Also, the movie stars Parker Posey and Alan Cumming, so if you haven’t seen it… DO IT. DO IT NOW. More »

10:59AM Jess McGuire | Remember the Taylor Hanson/James Iha/Adam Schlesinger/Bun E. Carlos supergroup we discussed the other day? At the time I said that I thought the song only sounded okay…
I now find the chorus completely intoxicating in a Josie & The Pussycats OST kind of way. Which is totally fine by me, I love (and own) that movie.
I still think the band name is stupid in the extreme though.

9:43AM Jess McGuire | Good lord. This may explain a few things about my own personal life.
Young women who think drinking to excess makes them more sexually attractive to men are mistaken, a study shows. Women taking part in the US study commonly overestimated how many drinks a “typical guy” would expect them to drink.
Hmmm. I’m starting to think that perhaps my standard night out of several jugs of beer, ten vodka-drys, a bottle of champagne, and as many shots of tequila I can consume before vomiting all over myself at the bar may be the reason I’m not married with babies.
Do go on, scientists behind this fascinating study! More »

8:24AM Jess McGuire | Oh, joyous and glorious day! My hoping and praying seems to be working, as the papers are reporting that Chris Martin is dropping hints about delivering the You’re The Voice goods with Australia’s own Big JF at the Sound Relief concert in a way that is making us all believe it’s possible, it’s really possible!

And what’s Chris Martin telling journalists with a “knowing smile”? More »
