- Despite loving the Pet Shop Boys performance/tribute at the Brit Awards this week, my choice for favorite performance hands down goes to the Ting Tings and Estelle for their mash-up of “Shut Up and Let Me Go”, “American Boy”, and “That’s Not My Name”.
As a consolation, though, check out this grainy but still watchable version of PSB’s “Go West” from 15 years ago.
- In the “there might be justice yet” department, it looks like Apple might be helping PMN favorites Franz Ferdinand here in the US with a new iPhone commercial that utilizes “No You Girls”. Here’s a cool performance video of the track. If Feist, Yael Naim and the Ting Tings are the models, Franz Ferdinand should have a Top 40 hit in a couple of weeks.
- Inquiring minds apparently wanted to know more about the super secret (squirrel) mission last weekend. Well, I ended up back in San Francisco for another fun-filled weekend, including a midnight sing-along of Grease, complete with a drag re-enactment of “Summer Nights”. While both of our attempts to get cheap seats for Wicked failed miserably, I had a great time, and am looking forward to my next trip. Wonder when that’ll be…
Stumble It!

I’m Nigel Tomm – thanks for cool music.
No Wicked? Oh no! But still singalongagrease is always fun
And that franz song is wicked cool. I love it.
Singalong Grease does sound pretty fantastic! San Francisco is always a great place to visit.
Looks like somebody picked up on my secret squirrel code! Good for you. And you said “our” in there… are you not telling us something, SS?
Paul, I have a feeling I’ll get back there again to see it.
PG, it really is a wonderful town. The sing-along would have been more fun if I’d taken a nap. Damn, I’m old!
Yuri, I’m just a squirrel tryin’ to get a nut.
