   Joseph Nebus to All   
   25 June 2007 - Drew Barrymore, Marc Maro   
   25 Jun 07 23:44:32   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Drew Barrymore:   
   	- It's the perfect end to her publicity tour.  She likes   
   Valentine's Day.  She was listening to music in the snow and watching   
   the store windows; it was like this snow globe of happiness.  And   
   someone took her wallet.  Los Angeles shuts at 11 pm like they were   
   getting pillaged.  She throws great parties, more than just nachos in a   
   bowl.  They had a toga party.  People came up with interpretations.  The   
   next will be a Prom party.  She'd like Conan to come to do it right.   
   She didn't go to the prom either.  Conan agrees to come and she declares   
   it'll be the best ever; that puts some pressure, as he can't just show   
   up with a whale cake.   
   	   
   	- Music and Lyrics: Finally, a movie that riffs on the silliness   
   of early 80s pop stars.  She was a big fan of Duran Duran.  Conan has   
   this thing about 80s TV show jingles, particularly waking up to the   
   Charles in Charge theme.  She likes Greatest American Hero and Knight   
   Rider despite that being instrumental.  She found it sexy.  She couldn't   
   get the Growing Pains song out of her head.  `Show me that smile again'   
   gets creepy after two hours.  Drew felt insecure about singing as people   
   kept telling her to stop singing.  She's on two soundtracks, but is bad.   
    She loves Conan's voice.  Hugh Grant is completely cynical and dark on   
   set; he was warned about her.  He'd do things like chop salad alone in   
   his trailer.   
      
      
   Marc Maron:   
   	- Happy Valentine's Day.  There's new apology hearts candy like   
   ``Don't Leave'' or ``I Need Help'' or ``I Was Drunk''.  Now that he's on   
   Air America do people expect him to talk politics?  His mother asked   
   what he thought about this new guy, Sabu?  He guessed correctly she   
   meant Barack Obama.  He's not sure what to be more disturbed by.   
   Myspace is good for re-creating the high school experience: have no   
   friends and put yourself out for criticism by angry 15-year-old kids.   
   Why is Razordog so irascible?  He's waiting for Myspace to turn into   
   Friendster, a sad digital graveyard; someday aliens will find it and   
   learn how every member of the human species thought they were important.   
    And women could live to 100 and show no signs of aging.  Razordog liked   
   that.  If he could make friendship with Razordog it was something   
   worthwhile ... Razordog just hates him again.   
      
      
   The Apples in Stereo:   
   	- 'New Magnetic Wonder' album, and it looks like a for-real   
   record.  I think they're going for a quirky image, based on the guy in a   
   rainbow-striped silver potato robe and sunglasses.  'And the world ... '   
   as a song?  Fun song; I imagine they've heard They Might Be Giants in   
   their past.
