well¬ after over a year of covering the musical guest on Late Night with Conan O’Brien. I have decided to turn off my OCD a bit and slow down with reviews. Partly so that I can focus on the guests that I like instead of doing a write up on each and every act. More so that my DVR/PVR is filling up with conan’s to watch which is dumb.
I also came to a conclusion that my 1994 dream came true when Björk played on Conan this past year. It’s like two of my 1994 heroes together - the sweetest cake. why keep eating.
I’ll keep writing from time to time, but here is a definitive top ten list of performers in the last calendar - Feb 07 to today.
Jake Shimabukuro
Andrew Bird
Black Lips
Animal Collective
José González
Feist
Stephen Marley feat. Damian “Junior Gong” Marley
Explosions in the Sky
Of Montreal
Dr. Dog
Thanks to all my readers. I love you all.

song performed: WTF mate?
conan’s reaction: “fantastic *shakes doyle hand* thank you so much *shakes debbie hand* doyle and debbie everybody. together again *hand merging motion*. we’ll take a break, we’ll be right back, stick around.”
OMG the audio from last night’s show (courtesy of A Channel’s shotty NBC connection) was horrible. I missed most of the jokes and definitely the subtle tones of what I guess is part humor and part parody.

if you happen to be a telus cell person, on september 29th, they will apparently donate a small amount to charity for each text message you send. this i learnt from my latest bill (blip on telus site).

sorry for the delay in updates. I’ve been on a break due to traveling/visitation/sunshine schedule. postings will resume mid June including updates on conan shows from days missed.

Here’s where I attempt to give you some bearings. You probably came from whatever nonsense I wrote here (if not feel free to check and come back). pengruin
It contains my manifesto. you see, this is all starting in 2007. blogs are like old news except for the fact that they are everywhere and old news is actually welcome. I’ve been doing some “research” and there are whole communities of bloggers tackling political issues, sharing beautiful images of lastest kitchen creation, giving up pointers on how to change diapers, and even a blog based on the NBC show “The Office” (US version).
I noticed that blogs fall into a niche - a food blog, a tech blog, relationships, pop culture, etc. Well this blog is all about focusing on things to improve life plain and simple.
more on me…
- i ‘ve watched conan on and off since winter ‘94, which was a brilliant time for me. now i fake tivo his show everyday.
- i was in sixth grade when tight-rolling pants was in, so was billy ray cyrus
- i never got to go to space camp even though i saw the movie (with quite a star-studded cast) tons of times
- my favorite movies growing up were probably right along the lines of Spacecamp - flicks about braniac kids defeating lame enemies (goonies, iron eagle ii, real genius, toy soldiers) oh yeah, and the three amigos.
- you can take the beauty to the ranch, but you can’t take the bikini off the blond
Influences coming
maybe FAQ coming
