Yes, rabid "Beverly Hills, 90210" fans have organized today (9-02-10) as their day to remember the iconic teen soap. Apparently, there are a ton of events planned. Larry King (no s---) is hosting a party in Beverly Hills. ESPN's Bill Simmons is doing a special 90210 podcast, although I don't think it's up yet. And, I suggest you check out the International "Beverly Hills, 90210" Facebook page--it's priceless.
I never watched "Better Off Ted," but I heard from more than a couple people that it was pretty awesome. I also heard fans of the show were pretty pissed about the way it was canceled with the final two episodes never airing. Good news, you can now download them at iTunes and Amazon. Or, you'll find both episodes streaming on Netflix.
You may have seen Nile Carpenter performing music around town with Afortiori and other acts. But not lately because a car accident recently sent Carpenter to the hospital with broken bones in both arms. The good news: He emerged fully healed with a new bionic elbow. The bad news: He has some serious medical bills to pay off. So tonight his friends in Lemia Belus, St. Moses the Black and Six Gallery (now featuring Carpenter's former Afortiori bandmate Daniel Erb on vocals) will play The Basement, 391 Neil Ave., to help him pay off those costs. 8 p.m., $5. RSVP here.
I sung Suckers' praises in the paper today. If you're enticed, see them tonight at Circus, 1227 N. High St. Doors open at 8 p.m., so you can keep one eye on openers Phantods and Maza Blaska and the other on the Ohio State-Marshall game. $10 at the door.
No, it's not some sort of "Lost" prequel. JJ Abrams is shopping a show about Alcatraz with former "Lost" writer and executive producer Elizabeth Sarnoff, who also co-wrote the pilot. That's about all we know, because if there's anything Abrams loves, it's being secretive. I just hopes it looks better than his new fall spy series "Undercovers."
I'll be driving to a beach Friday, and I'll be playing this song. The original version of "Another Day" will appear on Last Chants, Apache Beat's upcoming release. It's good. This remix is better.
Matthew Dear's impeccable electronics start in the ultra-lounge, but never stay there. Pretty much everything on Black City, his latest album, is solid.
Conan O'Brien today released this video about his new show. He's looking a little old and sunburned, but he's as funny as ever. I'm pretty stoked for the show, which airs in early November -- only 68 1/2 days from now.
Former Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan opened his own winery in Arizona -- probably the last thing anyone would've expected when Undertow dropped in 1993. The documentary about his vineyard and the passion needed to produce good vino drops on DVD Sept. 7.
