This is really cool.

105-1 Charlie FM not only delivers you awesome random music over the FM airwaves and streaming on the internet, now we’ve got a new idea.

From now on, current users of 105-1 Charlie FM can now continue to listen to our station on the radio, but we’ve decided to change the name to 105-1 Qwikster FM.  Those who currently stream the station will continue to listen to the station on the internet at 105-1 Charlie FM.

We at Charlie think this will revolutionize the way you listen to the radio and make it a much more user friendly experience.

Hold on a second…

….Netflix is killing the Qwikster DVD idea?

OK… Nevermind about that first thing I was talking about.  It was a stupid idea anyway.  We’re gonna stick with 105-1 Charlie FM after all.  You didn’t mind us milking the hype, just to get our name out there for a while? Did you?

Paul McCartney got hitched yesterday for the third time and being a long time confidant and very close personal friend of the rocker, I can say that I am pleased.

Seriously, when you’ve know somebody for as long as I’ve known Paul (or Paul-eee as I call him,) you need to make sure that he’s not getting himself into trouble. You know, that last marriage cost him some big money to resolve.

It’s not that my bro Paul is anywhere near the poorhouse, but he’s worked a long career and as his friend, I hate to see him lose all of the stuff that he’s worked for.

I was so relieved to hear this his new wife, Nancy is independently wealthy. That means they both brought a lot to the table. I truly hope that the third time is the charm for mi amigo, so he’ll never have to worry about marrying, divorcing and the hefty post-divorce settlements again. That’s a big burden on my comrade. He shouldn’t have to deal with that again.

I am also so glad that M-C (my other pet name for him) signed a prenuptial agreement too. …

What? Paul-eee didn’t sign one this time either? Arrrrrhhhhhhgggggghhh!!!

I’m trying to help you here! You’re killin me!

Side note to this story: I have never met Paul McCartney the singer. I am referring to the Paul McCartney, who I grew up with on the east side of Madison in the 80’s. Did I not make that clear?

This kinda surprises me.  Here’s what Netflix says is they’re Top 10 Rentals of All Time.

Nothing from before 2005?  Seems a little suspicious that two in the Top 5 have Sandra Bullock in them too. My bucket list includes never watching another one of her flicks.

Netflix Top 10 Rentals of All Time

10. No Country For Old Men

9. Iron Man

8. Inception

7. Sherlock Holmes

6. The Departed

5. The Hurt Locker

4. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

3. The Bucket List

2. Crash

1. The Blind Side

The King of Curmudgeons finally called it a show last night as Andy Rooney announced he’s stepping down from his 60 Minutes post.

He’s the type of guy that drove me crazy listening to, but like a lot of people, I still tuned in every once in a while.

His final commentary was a salute to his love of writing, but he left us with one last cranky old comment. Don’t worry Andy. If I see you eating at the same restaurant as myself, I won’t bug you.

To remember his career work, here’s a completely unfair, out of context mash up of his greatest hits.

This kind of sums it up too:

Here’s the thing.

I can separate annoying qualities from physical qualities in a person.  I don’t know.  It’s a gift I’ve always had.

That’s why I’m not annoyed that Kim Kardashian has been named the most annoying celebrity out there.

According to a new Parade Magazine poll:

The winner was newlywed Kim Kardashian, with 29 percent of the vote, just edging out Charlie Sheen, who earned 27 percent.  Rounding out the top five were “Jersey Shore’s” Snooki, Donald Trump and Brad “The Bachelor” Womack.

Is Kardashian annoying?  Sure she it.  Is she still good looking? Oh yeah.

Would I hate if we hung out?  Not at all, as long as I can keep my earbud headphones in at all times, listening to the radio.

I can’t say I’m that big of a fan of mayonnaise.  It’s OK in small (SMALL!) portions, but too much of it just grosses me out.

I don’t actually want to swim in a sea of mayo, I was just thinking of the grossest thing that I could think of with mayo.  (Don’t feel like you need to let your mind run wild, coming up with grosser stuff.)

In any case, I guess I’m in the minority.

A new survey that looked at condiment sales raised my eyebrow, when it said the might mayonnaise was the tops.  All hail the egg white and oil combination!   I know they eat it on their fries in France, but this is too much.

According to Bloomberg Businessweek: Condiments have become a $5 billion-a-year business in the U.S. as Americans slather their foods with everything from mayo and mustard to ketchup and salsa.

The Top 10 Selling Condiments are this:

#1 Hellamn’s Real Mayonnaise

#2 Tostitos Salsa

#3 Heinz Ketchup

#4  Best Foods Mayonnaise

#5 Miracle Whip

#6 Kraft Mayo

#7 French’s Yellow Mustard

#8 Kraft Chipotle Mayo

#9 Pace Salsa (NEW YORK CITY!!!)

#10 Hunts Ketchup

Here’s the rest of the Top 25.  Other notables: Tobasco is #13, Grey Poupon is #11.

You know how food gets gross when there is too much of it around. I am now queezy after writing this. I’m gonna sit down and take some Pepto.

Congratulations to jazz sensation Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.

If you just said “Who?” …you’re not alone.  He was the winner last night on America’s Got Talent. The name is this show is a misnomer for so many reasons, but none more apparent than this:

As hard as you might try, I would bet that you could not name one of the top winners from show.

The show has been around since 2006.  Who are the winners?  Where are they now?  At least American Idol has produced some B-Level celebrities like Carrie Underwood.

I say the show is bunk because even though there may be some contestants who have a unique ability, they clearly don’t have what it takes to make it in the world of show business.  They don’t even have the crazed David Hasselhoff anymore.

At least they gave us a sweet Def Leppard montage last night.

I could point out the irony that MTV is handing out awards for videos on a network that has drifted far away from music and videos, but I’m even sick of myself saying it.

Still, they go on with the Video Music Awards show, because it’s a forum for celebrities to do something crazy and get their name in the press.

Here’s the Top 5 non-interesting things that happened at last night’s VMA’s, including why they are dumb.

5. Lady Gaga Dresses In Drag – Even dressing as her male alter-ego Jo Calderone, she’s at the point where nothing she does surprises me. This was just another non-shock.

4. Tony Bennett Does An Amy Winehouse Tribute - A sad story relived, but most of the audience probably said ‘Who’s Tony Bennett?”

3.  Appearances & Wins from Jersey Shore, Foo Fighters, Chris Brown, Britney Spears. Really.  Who else were they gonna give awards to?

2. Kay Perry Wins/Wears Cube Thing On Her Head - I think it was the formal outfit of the Alien Galactic Space Colony that she has joined.  They melted her brain in 2008.

1.  Beyonce’ Performs/Reveals Baby Bump - Dios Mio!  I hate the term baby bump.  What do I care if she’s pregnant?  Good for her, but now Jay Z has 100 problems.  He’s gonna have to change the lyrics to his song “99 Problems.”

Check out this cool Billboard.com article about 13 Things We Didn’t See At The VMA’s.

Maybe it’s better that we don’t take summer off.

I’m never gonna fall for modern love.

I’m never gonna fall for stupid rumors either. There is some talk that David Bowie may be considering retiring from retiring.

According to Biographer and former editor-in-chief of Mojo magazine Paul Trynka thinks that it would be ‘a miracle’ if David Bowie were to return to music.

“My heart says he’ll come back,” says Trynka, “[but] my head says he’s likely not to. I think he would only come back if he thinks he could deliver something that will be seismic. If you pop back into the stage, it’s got to be something that has a big explosion and lots of flashes. It would be a bit of a miracle if he comes back, but miracles do happen.”

Trynka wrote the recently published Bowie biography David Bowie: Starman, in which he recounts Bowie’s legendary career through 300 new interviews with everyone from classmates to managers to lovers. He explains Bowie’s influences on the entertainment world, from musical pioneer to actor.

Bowie has not released a new studio album since 2003’s Reality.
