Cream Taylor Swift in L.A., The Dead Weather on the Cover of SPIN: Newsy Bits
Posted by Steve Haruch on Tue, May 26, 2009 at 11:57 AM
* The other night I had this funny dream, where I was walking outside the Green Hills mall and ran into Taylor Swift. In this dream, we were pals. Not call-each-other-late-at-night-and-gossip pals or anything. She was like, "Hey, nice to see you!" And I was all, "Yo, what's shakin', Tay?" And we kind of small talked for a bit. She was wearing big clunky glasses--the kind they put on "hot" girls in movies to make them look "nerdy" so then we are "surprised" when they take them off and become conventionally "hot" and therefore acceptable booty for our male hero to bed--but soon someone recognized her, and then there was this big crowd and it was kind of embarrassing, so I wound up sitting in some sort of tour village they had set up to shield her from the seething masses, and finally she was just like, "Eh, sorry about that. I guess I'll run into you some other time?" and went off to sign autographs. Anyway, Swift played L.A.'s Staples Center the other night and decided to test my fandom by singing a duet with John Mayer. And here I thought we were buds. (CMTT.)

* SPIN managed to get The Dead Weather to talk about themselves, and Jack White didn't know what to say for a minute: " 'It's a climax...of the last few years, of everything, it means so much more, um, I dunno,' he says, his words running together. 'I don't know whether to cry or laugh out loud when I think about it.' " (SPIN.)
* Lilith Fair strikes again: According to Grimey's, today's Butterfly Boucher in-store performance has been canceled. "Sorry, but Butterfly has had to cancel her instore, scheduled for Tuesday, May 26. She was offered the opportunity to play bass on Sarah McLachlan's tour. We'll still have her new album, Scary Fragile, for release on the 26th and Butterfly has promised to reschedule her instore when her schedule permits. Stay tuned."

And I had a dream about Jack White last night! I was a preacher at some old clapboard, dirt-floored church and after my sermon there were performances from parishoners Metallica, Motorhead, and "The White Stripes" but it was really Jack White and a bunch of random people. He had brown hair and may or may not have done only cover songs. I am sure everyone finds this as fascinating as I did (ie not at all).

'It's a climax...of the last few years, of everything, it means so much more, um, I dunno,'
That's why nobody interviews drummers.

in other news, congratulations to Little Jack and Meg White who got married over the weekend. But not to each other.
