Dragonette & Little Boots at the Fillmore
Mar 10th
Class Actress? Really? They were okay. The lead singer lacked any sort of charisma on the stage. The most she did to engage the audience was remove her outer coat and shimmy from left to right. Overall impressions: cute sound but won’t last.
Dragonette? KILLED IT. Seriously. From the moment, they walked out onto the stage, all eyes were on this band. They command attention. Martina and company engaged the audience, had the Fillmore bumping and jumping and every song was a musical treat. Everything was amazing until security interrupted me filming Dragonette on my iPhone during Easy. The best song ever. He made me delete it! What? Really? No talking during Easy! You Security Bitch. Dragonette is going places. Their first CD: not so strong. Second CD: killer. Martina better buy some big sunglasses because Dragonette’s time has come.
Little Boots? Enters the stage in a silver lame druid robe. Her backup singers/musicians arrived in black druid robes. The big reveal? A gold poof. An inverted gold Lacroix poof on top of a gold slip dress cut at the upper thigh. Particularly not flattering for a woman with a pooch. LB was way too nervous and awkward for the first half of the performance at the Fillmore. Of course, screaming gays can always melt away stress and soon she was in her moment. Using the Tenori-on LB was able to really get the audience engaged during Meddle and by the time Remedy was performed, LB seriously killed it. For an encore, she repeated a little bit of Remedy for a loud drunken giant standing next to me. “Play Remedy again!” Ugh. And she finished up with a new song Echoes. Should be another goody.
Props to Little Boots for mentioning Arrested Development and Gob the magician. Props also for having your brother film you from the side with his flip cam. Haha. Boo Boos to Little Boots for thinking there was such a thing as the “San Francisco Stadium.” Boo Boos also for having abnormally short arms sticking out of the aforementioned gold poof. Not so cuties.
Month in Media: January
Jan 31st
Let’s take a look at the things in entertainment that the D@2 bloggers loved most in the month of January!

Music Video – “On to the Next One” by Jay-Z with Swizz Beatz
This shit is soooo effing tight. I sweat for the girls drop-dancing and the druggie in the hoodie. Mami wants.
YouTube Clip – Jiz and the Mammograms
“This is the motherfucking dress I’m going to get motherfucking gangbanged in tonight.” On daily repeat. Don’t think I won’t make a ringtone of it.
Sports – Arizona vs. Green Bay
I literally like seriously almost wet myself over the missed field goal at the end and the completely random turnover to finish the game in overtime. I was banking on an AZ win for a pool I was in so I was really excited — too bad those queens went and ruined it the following week. Oh well. Go Colts!
TV Show – The Jersey Shore
I mean, seriously? This show killed me every feeeeeucking week. Snooki was goddamn hilarious. Who ever knew there were so many fantastic words for DBs? Grenade. Grenade Launcher. Hippo. Creature.
Album – Stronger with Each Tear by Mary J. Blige
I really played this album out this month. It’s very typ of MJB lately — and, let’s face it, the self-empowerment-I-can-do-anything-because-I-overcame-so-much-adversity thing is getting old — but you can’t deny that the bitch has an amazing voice. And her songs are so sweet most of the time! Aww.
D@2 Post – Dead at 2am: Part 2
This killed me. It made me want to die at 2 again! “Champaaaaaaaagne.” D@2 Blogger? ME! Feeeeeucking Safeway aisle 8 spill janitor.

Music Video – “Fixin’ to Thrill” by Dragonette
God, I do love my Dragonette. When I spotted this music video which I had never seen before, poop may have come out. …………………..Of my mouth.
Movie – A Single Man
Isherwood is a weirdo but I loved this movie. Colin Firth can be my silver daddy any day.
YouTube Clip – Cadbury Eyebrows
First, I love chocolate. Second, I love this song. Third, I love overly mobile eyebrows.
TV Show – Modern Family
This show is soo awesome. I am Cameron. That’s all I have to say. Go watch the episode called The Incident. Shelley Long plays the crazy mom. It’s so awesome. It’s worth it.
Sports – Nadal/Murray match at the Australian Open
Okay. If I’m going to post a sports highlight, it will likely only be tennis or figure skating. Anyway, Nadal is hot and the Australian Open is kick ass. The build up for this showdown was awesome. Too bad Hottie Nadal bowed out. Puss. Yeah! Not so gay now, am I sluts! L’Angie that post was for you.
D@2 Post – Nick’s Answer to a Question of the Week
Anytime you can get Nick to write an awesome post about you kicking him in his balls, you know that’s a media highlight.

Current TV: American Idol
Every January I go into American Idol mode. Sadly it is one of my favorite TV shows. I’m not so sure about Ellen yet, so we’ll see how she does during Hollywood week.
Classic TV: Roseanne
You really can’t go wrong with white trash. No matter how many times I see these episodes they are always funny.
Music: Ke$ha
This bitch is off it. Listen to this album will make you want to dance on stripper poles for money. Loves it.
TV Network: The Food Network
Hello!… Chopped, The Worst Cooks in Amercia and the ever enjoyable Unwrapped. It’s like seriously the best network ever.
Favorite YouTube Channel, and Video: Peach Diaries
Seriously.. Peach Diaries is the best channel ever! Princess Peach has never been more entertaining.
D@2 Post: Benutty v. Gary Jr.
This truly is the essence of who we are. It doesn’t get any better than this.
My top 10 songs of 2009
Jan 1st
This is according to my iTunes play count. Enjoy.
#10
#10: Madonna – Celebration (Benny Benassi Remix Edit)
Obviously I could not leave Madonna off this list. The original version of this song was pretty shitty, but thankfully this remix came out. It’s no wonder she used this for her video.
#9
#9: Lily Allen – The Fear
It’s too bad she is a coke whore, and decided to stop making music. Her last album “Its Not Me, It’s You” is pretty good.
#8
#8: Cobra Starship – Good Girl Gone Bad (Feat. Leighton Meester)
I typically don’t like stupid straight boy music, but this is surprisingly good. It helps that Blair from Gossip Girl is featured on it… love that bitch.
#7
#7: Dragonette – We Rule The World
Love love love this song. If there had been more time in 2009 I am sure this would have ended up a lot higher on my list.
#6
#6: Lady Gaga – Alejandro
First of all… Alejandro is my favorite name of all time. So cute. Secondly this song kick ass. Ale ale jandro ale ale jandro.
#5
#5: Lady Gaga – Dance In The Dark
This song probably wouldn’t have made it on my list if I had not seen her live. She opened the show with this and it was amazing. Every time I listen to this I think of that. So good.
#4
#4: Blake Lewis – Heartbreak On Vinyl
If you have not heard his new album then you should. It’s way better than his first album or anything he did on American Idol. Dance. Fun. Yes.
#3
#3: Lady Gaga – Monster
My new favorite song from Lady Gaga. That boy is a monster… mo mo mo monster!
#2
#2: Adam Lambert – Music Again
This is the type of song I knew he would have on his album, and it’s my favorite. This whole album is amazing actually. Even my mom loves it. Lots of his songs were in my top 20, but didn’t make it to the top 10 (For Your Entertainment, If I Had You, Sleepwalker, Fever and Broken Open)
#1
#1: Lady Gaga – Bad Romance
Duh! Obviously this was going to be number 1. The song = amazing! The video = fucking amazing! The performances = totally fucking amazing hunnneees yes! If you don’t like this song you are a damn mess and you die tonight at 2am.
