Yesterday I was very fortunate to be invited to Thanksgiving dinner (which had it’s own Twitter hashtag #drunkenthanks) at the beautiful home of friends Justine and Gary. Along with about 32 other guests, I was treated to a feast that was completely and utterly delicious. Here is a Polaroid photo of the dinner [...]

So … I spent much of yesterday on the couch watching sappy movies, just minding my own business, having the time of my life. When I realized that I was bawling my eyes out to Mr. Holland’s Opus, I knew it was time to get out of the house. Incidentally, and to digress [...]

If you’re a regular visitor to Premium Hollywood, particularly during the months of January and July, then you’ve probably become aware of my regular forays to Los Angeles to cover the Television Critics Association press tour. The entertainment media loves to talk about the death knell of the tour, which has ostensibly been hastened by [...]

Jesus of Cool: Kay Hanley & the Pussycats You mean it wasn't Rachael Leigh Cook singing as Josie but Kay Hanley from Letters To Cleo? (makes mental note should he ever appear on QI). Costume Vs. Cosplay: What a Stormtrooper Is Made Of This American Life style expose of the 501st Legion. If Lucas wants to include stormtroopers in the new tv series, it would be wrong not to employ these guys.

Editor’s note: What follows is no less than the third column that Popdose writer Jon Cummings has attempted to wring out of a single interview last fall with former Letters to Cleo vocalist Kay Hanley. The first one, a Popdose Interview, was quite nice, really; the second, however – a treatise on the [...]

A decade ago this past summer, Kay Hanley and her bandmates in Letters to Cleo had to be talked into accepting a free trip to Hollywood when the producers of a new teen comedy approached them about contributing to the film’s soundtrack. Little did the band know that within a couple of weeks [...]

Fleetwood Mac, 1977: original version from Rumours From as early as I can remember I have always loved Fleetwood Mac. Their sound, their music, reading about the torrid love affairs between bandmates and declining marriages that created some of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I’m talking pre-Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal (No Doubt) [...]

“It’s like riding a bike!” Kay Hanley exclaimed last Saturday night, acknowledging the audience’s raucous response to her reunion with Letters to Cleo at the Roxy in West Hollywood. Eight years had passed since the band’s breakup, yet – with the benefit of just three days of rehearsals in an L.A. warehouse – Hanley [...]

Letters to Cleo reunited in concert on stage at The Roxy here in LA last night and I was very fortunate to be able to be there to bear witness. Kay Hanley, lead singer of LTC, and I have been sorta-cyber pals over the past few months (exchanging emails, txts and Tweets) and last [...]

I never expected to be write a single sentence about Letters To Cleo (I kinda confused them with Sixpence None The Richer, who I also never expected to...), but the band is back and back in the day, some people liked them (e.g. those horny Sally Struthers fans Beavis & Butthead ). This also proves that any band who ever recorded a song is bound to reunite in 2008 (hurry up Wreckx-N-Effect, only...

Woot! A little bird gave me the head’s up that Billboard magazine is reporting that 90’s band Letters To Cleo are reuniting this Fall for a short mini-tour that will bring back the core group of original band members for a few West and East Coast shows. Folks may recall that Letters To [...]

OMG … last night was the funnest night ever. I spent most of the day preparing for my upcoming trip to Detroit but I met up with my friend Michael for dinner before heading off to see Veruca Salt at The Viper Room in Hollywood. Michael and I planned on going out to [...]
