IVANA: are we there yet?
LENNY: where?
IVANA: xmas break
LENNY: ummm, i'm not sure, too busy figuring out when ozzfest is gonna start paying its customers
IVANA: it's the new model. give EVERYTHING away
LENNY: does that mean you will start working for free?
IVANA: instead of paying for the privilege of being here? i hope so. remember the days when musicians refused to be associated with any corporate sponsorship? now it's the only way to survive
LENNY: so, on a more upbeat note, i loved lily allen on saturday night live
IVANA: lily is the greatest. remember who told you about her, way back when...
LENNY: uhhh, nic harcourt?
IVANA: well, he told me about her, and then i told you!
LENNY: kinda telephone like
IVANA: never underestimate the power of peers telling peers about music. although i've always asserted that i'm without peer--it's how i've always gotten out of jury duty
LENNY: have we talked about bill carroll yet?
IVANA: it's been 5 minutes already
LENNY: he has about 14 more smashes on the launching pad
IVANA: korn is going everywhere. sick puppies is off to a great start. the almost was added at cimx, kpnt, wpbz, wrox, among others. k-os is buzzing. and then there are the other 11 records he and howard are breaking! 30stm's "the kill" holds the record for being on the modern rock chart the longest--52 weeks and counting--and it's #15 still. plus red jumpsuit apparatus is huge!
LENNY: yep, all good music. who else do i like?
IVANA: you've always said bullet for my valentine will be big. lorraine got a ton of majors on it this week, and mtv2 put it into “elite 8”
LENNY: they are about to get huge, and how come i am doing this column instead of ted volk?
IVANA:
you're funnier
LENNY: oh, i forgot. do i also like the arcade fire album?
IVANA: you love it. you're also excited for the 5 nights of sold-out shows next week in nyc
LENNY: yes, i certainly am... are they also free?
IVANA: i could probably get you in for free, but no, not like ozzfest. you're also still giddy from last week's shins' debut at #2, and psyched it’s at #5 on our sales chart this week!
LENNY: i love the shins, and natalie portman too, whattabout coachella, that has some really good bands, is it gonna be freeeee?
IVANA: you're on a roll with this "freeeee" thing
LENNY: i know, it's like the sit n sleep mattress commercials.
IVANA: you're killing me, lenny. can i tell you what else you like?
LENNY: i like incubus dig, i think it will cross pop
IVANA: i think the modest mouse song is their best ever, but i should be telling you what YOU like. so you love the shins, we’ve established that.
LENNY: ian montone is speaking at my ucla class tomorrow nite. he's their lawyer turned manager and does not work for freeeeeee
IVANA: god, you're annoying. and you're crazy about the cold war kids record, which was added at q101, 91x and x-96 this week.
LENNY: isn't that the one that got huuuuge phones at live105
IVANA: yes, that's the one
LENNY: see, i know stuff
IVANA: you also love peter bjorn & john's "young folks" (because whistling is the new cowbell)
LENNY: i have no witty retort to that
IVANA: drew barrymore was wearing a peter bjorn & john t-shirt on snl!
LENNY: are we nearly finished? i have to do a witty column with roy about the grammys next
IVANA: I'LL tell you when we're finished
LENNY: continue on then
IVANA: we haven't even discussed your love for amy winehouse, which was added this week at weqx, wgvx, wwcd, and wpbz this week
LENNY: do i like her more than mika?
IVANA: more than mika but not as much as klaiman
LENNY: klaiman is hot hot hot... who is this klaiman?
IVANA: and you love the kaiser chiefs. and you adore the hold steady on vagrant
LENNY: i have always liked the kaiser chiefs, loved their early funny work.... and the hold steady is on my hold music
IVANA: and you noticed that the kooks had another breakthru week at radio, closing ktbz, wpbz and whtg. you're very observant
LENNY: i have liked the kooks for weeks now
IVANA: so you know that the kooks record is also #1 phones at kvgs las vegas
LENNY: of course, who doesn't
IVANA: kroq is playing peter bjorn & john now as "catch of the day." i must dance.
LENNY: jewish girls should NOT dance, except to interpol
IVANA: i've expanded my repertoire. until there's a new interpol record, of course. for now, say goodnight, gracie
LENNY: gracie is FREEEEEEE
