SSPU on Letterman

I know I should post more. I have lots of stuff to talk about, just can't find the time to blog about it. This though, I have to plug.

The Silversun Pickups played Letterman yesterday with a shortened version of Panic Switch. They had to cut the song down to 3:30min because of TV airtime. It's still a great performance but Nikki looked really nervous! The end is funny too... Anyways, here you go:

As an early birthday gift I got a ticket to see the Boss at the Commerzbank-Arena in Frankfurt on July 3rd. It was a fantastic concert, he played for almost 3 hours! An unforgettable night with an all ages crowd. I literally mean ALL ages. You could find gramps and grans, their adult children who then brought along their children. It was amazing seeing a merely 5 yr old boy sing the chorus of "Waitin' On A Sunny Day" (check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pfuAgVdsgE)

Thanks to Kurt of .ca for that!

I also want to give a shout out to @JanayS (Rainbow Report), who introduced me to the radio station 89x which plays just the best of the best.

BTW, all you frequent AfterEllen readers know about the webseries "3Way". If you don't, you should check it out, it's hilarious. I hope it comes back soon but in the meantime they posted a full episode of "LadyCops"!

Ice Age 3

Ice Age 3 hits the theaters today! One advantage of working at a cinema is you get to see some movies before everyone else does. So after work yesterday some colleagues and I sat down to watch Ice Age 3.

I thought it was pretty cool and funny. The dinobabys were just too cute!
Some parts of the movie kinda reminded me of a movie from my childhood "The Land Before Time" with all the dinos and the "great valley"...

What really brings me back to watch Ice Age again is the little squirrel Scrat. Every time he jumps into the picture I laugh my ass off. The Scrat scenes are the best part of each of the Ice Age movies in my opinion and he did not disappoint in this new one. I just love that little fella.
