IVANA & LENNY ON WORLD AFFAIRS, BIRTHDAYS, COMINGS, GOINGS AND THE NIELSEN-PEARSON BAND

Our Co-Hosts Discuss Breaking Benjamin, Sparta, Zero 7, IV Thieves, The Kooks, Lily Allen, Etc.

LENNY: What is the most important story this week?
a. israel and hezbollah fighting continues
b. iran rejects u.n. proposal on nukes
c. mediabase and bds battle rages over reporting
d. capitol has the #1 album?
e. it's your birthday on saturday?
IVANA: clearly "e"
LENNY: that's what i think as well.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY
IVANA: and also "f," which is: i'm going on vacation tomorrow so i won't even be here!

LENNY: what's your favorite birthday song?
IVANA: "birthday" by the sugarcubes, although “one man wrecking machine” by guster seems apropos this year.
LENNY: who sang.. "happy, happy birthday baby"
IVANA: the nielsen-pearson band?
LENNY: now they could ruin anyone's birthday
IVANA: but enough about me … jj grossman starts on monday as columbia's head of rock & alternative. he's in san diego today with pete yorn. sigh.
LENNY: did jj wish you a happy birthday? did pete yorn wish you a happy bday
IVANA: it's not til saturday--maybe they will, right before i throw myself into a volcano. besides, i gave YOU the best years of my life, not them
LENNY: which ones exactly were they?
IVANA: to think, i started at hits as a wide-eyed 28 year old
LENNY: wow, you've been with us for an entire year now?
IVANA: yes--it's really dragged--seems like almost 17 years
LENNY: has new island promo guru mark fischer wished you a happy birthday yet?
IVANA: he's too busy having the killers debut in the top 10 in its first week
LENNY: which is good
IVANA: and i expect that alan galbraith at wind-up would be wishing me a happy birthday if he didn't have to rush out the evanescence single yesterday
LENNY: i heard you on kroq being talked about as loving that song, stryker musta wished you a happy bday
IVANA: i used to be able to milk the birthday thing for adds, but if that's happening today, i don't know where to look to find them
LENNY: yeah, what's happening with the reporting problems today?
IVANA: clear channel is only reporting to mediabase. i'm reporting to my desk
LENNY: and in a few days, you'll be reporting to your chaise lounge at the four seasons kona
IVANA: i'll be trying to go cold turkey from my blackberry. bet i won't last 10 minutes
LENNY: yeah, i tried that when i went to mexico, then donnie + michele got fired and all hell broke loose
IVANA: so, as expected, geordie has departed from hollywood records with breaking benjamin in the top 10.
LENNY: geordie and howie miura are probably on some chaise lounge somewhere as well, not worrying about who is reporting to who
IVANA: have i mentioned that i've given you 16 1/2 years of my life, minus those 4 weeks i was in rehab in 1991?
LENNY: so, with all that experience under your belt, answer this question... if clear channel stops reporting to r&r, and citadel stops reporting to mediabase, etc etc..... how many records will there then be in the Top Ten?
IVANA: um, let me think… that would be... TEN
LENNY: eggselent... feel free to take some time off... take weekends til they add up
IVANA: and the chili peppers, audioslave and killers will probably remain in the top 10 til my NEXT birthday
LENNY: deservedly so
IVANA: fine, as long as there's room for arctic monkeys
LENNY:
and madonna will still be headlining the mtv vmas when she is 90
IVANA: ok go's "a million ways" should've been nominated for best video
LENNY: yeah, i need to see that, rick krim at vh1 is a huge fan of their videos
IVANA: and their new one, which is choreographed on treadmills, for "here it goes again," is even better
LENNY: i also hear that. can i see them online somewhere?
IVANA: www.okgo.net or www.youtube.com
LENNY: great, everyone should check them out
IVANA: and they're in the jc penney’s tv ads that are running everywhere
LENNY: yeah, i saw that last nite
IVANA: not that I'VE ever been inside a jc penneys
LENNY: so, what other music catches your fancy on this your birthday week? have we mentioned your birthday yet?
IVANA: i just got a big package of music from my friends at merge, so i'm excited to delve into that, and i'll be listening to the kooks cd, as well as lily allen, which is now coming out on capitol. and i love the new sparta record--it's my new fave, and i hope everybody gets to hear iv thieves on new west—it's nic armstrong's new record--it's fantastic. and i love the new zero 7 cd because it reminds me of the alan parsons project
LENNY:
is that a good thing?
IVANA: for me it is. what advice would you give those who are reading this while pearson is droning on and on at narm?
LENNY: to say goodnight, gracie? to wish you a happy birthday? always take fountain?
IVANA: don't you realize that people hang on your every word-give them some hope
LENNY: uh, Go Clippers?
IVANA: i'm not letting you off the hook that easily
LENNY: OK, how about this.... do what i do when pearson is speaking.... LEAVE THE ROOM
IVANA: ok, cool
LENNY: have a safe trip, and return older and wiser
IVANA: i'll be back next tuesday, for more of this riveting dialogue
LENNY: i cannot wait
IVANA: me neither
