Hansel contemplates: So what if the The Big Bounce Dere-licked balls?
“Owen Wilson’s comic crime caper ‘The Big Bounce’ bombed with $3.3 million, finishing at No. 12 and averaging just $1,439 in 2,304 cinemas.”— You Got Served wins box office
I guess he really is the minus man.

But they’ll play obscure cable access shows like Late Show with David Letterman and Last Call with Carson Daly

spincover.jpgFrom The New York Post‘s On The Newsstand column:
“The fab four of the cover of Spin won’t be playing Ed Sullivan anytime soon, or probably any talk show you know.”
From Matador Records’ Interpol Web site:
02/03/03 — The latest
In the wake of appearances on ‘Late Nite With David Letterman’ and ‘Carson Daly Is On Daily’ (ed note: Nils, please fact-check this program name, I don’t want any of those TV booking people blackballing our bands for another 5 years again. I swear I’ll kill myself if that happens), Interpol have another round of US touring scheduled to start in mid February. [ironic ‘ed note,’ theirs.]
From BBC News, Jan. 9, 2004:
The Darkness‘ jump comes as they begin to promote the album in the US, with an appearance on David Letterman’s chat show on CBS lined up for Friday.”
