Julie Garcia Bio
Julie graduated with her Bachelor's in Broadcast Journalism and a Minor in Theater and Music from Utah State University in December 2006. She started with Palestra.net as a student reporter in October of '06 and signed on full time in February '07. Since then, she's reported from Sundance, South By Southwest, Rothbury, Warped Tour, and more. Julie loves interviewing and meeting new musicians chronically. The girl is quite fond of their beautiful brains. Poetry, family, besties, art, robots, and her cuddly mini schnauzer make her smile. She also enjoys eating peanut butter and strawberries simultaneously.

Black Keys singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach is releasing a solo LP in February called 'Keep It Hid.' I told you on Music News I'd tell you who guests on the album. So here's the list according to NME.com:
'The album features guest spots by his uncle James Quine, who contributes vocal harmony and electric guitar on the track 'Street Walkin'', as well as Jessica Lea Mayfield, who sings on the track 'When the Night Comes', and Bob Cesare, who plays drums on 'Whispered Words', written by Auerbach's father.'

Payback's A Biznatch

Aw yes.... we all know how Prince loves to sue, but this time he's the sue-ee.
Perez Hilton reported this: 'Prince is being sued by perfume company Revelations to the tune of $100,000 for providing no assistance in promoting a "3121" fragrance which utilized his likeness and the title of his 2006 album.'
So, it's just chump change to the brilliant 'I'm as sexy and pretty as a woman, but still a man' rockstar. Still, the premise makes me smirk in a smug sort of manner.

There Are Better Looking, Less Stupid Girls To Smooch

Read this excerpt from a Fox News article:
"according to People magazine, Johansson inspired the mega-hit “I Kissed a Girl” by Katy Perry.
"In a new interview with Allure magazine, the sexy “Lost in Translation” star, 24, says she is flattered but that her lips are “kind of taken,” as she recently wed actor Ryan Reynolds."
Oh come on Katy! You couldn't choose a better looking less-dumb girl to write that song about? Before Scarlett decided to go all 'indie rock' and take herself seriously as a musician doing Tom Waits covers, I might have slightly respected that.
In an interview with Steppin Out magazine in August, Perry said:
"I was with my boyfriend at the time, and I said to him, 'I’m not going to lie: If Scarlett Johansson walked into the room and wanted to make out with me, I would make out with her. I hope you’re okay with that?'"
Esstoopid.
Love, Julie 'I would kiss Scarlett if you paid me' Garcia
