THE LATE SHOW
It looks like a normal, East Village hot dog shop.
It smells like hot dog water, there are ketchup smears on the counters, and the air conditioning putts and struggles to evaporate the sweat off the back of customer's necks. But, across from the wall of faux-leather booths, there's the strange, out of place, telephone-booth-style set of doors with pitch black windows.
The booth has a phone hanging on the wall with a single, lone button: "Call."
The conversation is always the same:
Japandroids
The Middle East
472 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge, MA 02139
Japandroids will visit Boston at the end of this month to give their fans a taste of good garage-noise rock. After an appearance on the Late Show with Jimmy Fallon, more than a month of European dates, and an almost non-stop transition to SXSW , (yes, these guys rocked Texas BIG TIME) they embark on a series of dates that will take them all around the U.S., to Canada and back to Europe. It will be the continuation of the "Post-Nothing" tour they started last June in support of their only like-titled album.
A guest on The Late Show last week, Alec Baldwin had a response ready when David Letterman asked him if he had any plans to expand his family. The 30 Rock star joked* that he was “thinking about getting a Filipino mail-order bride at this point... or a Russian one.” The studio audience thought this was funny.^ So did David Letterman. Not so much Philippine senator Ramon Revilla.
Blasting Baldwin for the “arrogant” remark, Revilla said that,
John Mayer is one present short this Christmas; girlfriend Jennifer Aniston gave her sole wardrobe item from her racy GQ cover shoot to Late Show host David Letterman last night. Aniston appeared to promote upcoming film Marley and Me and brought out a wrapped box when talk turned to her recent GQ cover in which she appears nude, wearing a strategically placed Brooks Brothers tie. Dave was thrilled and immediately threw off his tie so he could wear Aniston’s. I guess John Mayer won’t be missing a little tie when he can have Jennifer under the tree all for himself.
