| - First off, headlines: FIONA APPLE RETURNS FIONA APPLE will release her long-delayed third album, "Extraordinary Machine," on October 4th. The singer-songwriter began recording the follow-up to 1999's "When the Pawn . . ." with producer JON BRION (AIMEE MANN, KANYE WEST) in 2003, but the album was shelved by Epic. Though eleven songs from "Extraordinary" surfaced online, Apple continued work on the set with producers MIKE ELIZONDO (DR. DRE, SNOOP DOGG) and BRIAN KEHEW (BECK, EELS). The twelve-track CD will include new material, as well as reworked versions of the songs leaked online. (Longest six years of my life. I heart Fiona.) P. Diddy Shortens Name to Diddy Rap mogul Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs has unveiled his new stage moniker - he wants to be called just Diddy. Combs - who changed his name from Puff Daddy and Puffy before adopting the name P. Diddy in 2001 - announced his moniker change in New York City yesterday. He tells MTV News, "It's five letters, one word. The name is changed. We made it simpler. We removed the P. The P was getting in between us. We're entering the age of Diddy. A lot of my peeps in music been calling me Diddy, so it's not a drastic change for them. But people around the world didn't know what to call me. We was at (Madison Square Garden) rocking with Jay-Z. The last time I was there, half the crowd was chanting 'P Diddy', half the crowd chanting 'Diddy'. We gonna stop the confusion. 'Diddy. Diddy, Diddy!' Simple. To the point and it sounds strong. It sounds like something is about to happen. It sounds like something is about to go down in history." Combs plans a special "unveiling of Diddy" ceremony when he hosts the MTV Video Music Awards in Miami on August 28. He adds, "You gonna see that in the entrance. You gonna see that swagger. You gonna see how I'm gonna navigate you through the journey." (I was going to shorten that one, just leave the general gist of the article, but I didn't want to take away from one ounce of the idiocy.) - OK, so they're coming out with a 10th Anniversary edition of Toy Story. I feel old now. - Concerts. I. want. David Gray @ Radio City Music Hall Across the Narrows (Killers + Interpol) NIN/QOTSA @ Madison Square Weezer/Foo Fighters (where? when? Damn you, Pollstar, inform me!) Death Cab (tomorrow. Central Park. how much? must research) - All this stuff to do and I'll still be broke and bored by the end of September. :-) - Still need to make that Aristocrats list. Another time, perhaps. Now that I've got that out of the way... - Signed my lease on Monday and the 'rents helped get everything in. Nothing really got damaged, but a few of my posters got a little wrinkled up in the process, which I was kind of sad about, especially because one was the Porsche poster Joe gave me (still looks good above the TV though). Changed phone number to a local area code so if you've tried to call me in the last 24 hours you probably haven't gotten through. I'll send out an e-mail re: that ASAP. Finally changed address. Parents bought me a nice futon. And gave me cash. They really do kick major ass. Yeah, I'm a good son (and a good person) but I'm not worth all their tears. I feel so guilty because I can't return them... It's only been 3 days, but things are going better than expected down here. I do need groceries though; maybe I'll do that next. ... That said, I miss you. |
