Since i can’t be a rockstar, I may as well write about them? (Same goes for rappers.)
Will.i.am. Fergie. Two guys whose name you probably don’t know. Collectively, known as the Black Eyed Peas. For laziness-sake, I’ll refer to them in this post as “BEP.” As I mentioned on Facebook and Twitter, I covered KIIS-FM’s Wango Tango concert on Saturday the 9th on behalf of TV Guide Network… However, I will not …
I had a phone conversation with Trisha Yearwood. This was…Tuesday, May 5th. For those of you that aren’t super music-savvy, Trisha is a big-time country music star. And…she’s married to Garth Brooks. I used to listen to Garth Brooks in my friend’s mom’s car back in like 3rd grade (I was from Cen Cal, people.) …
Aerosmith is one of the bands you kinda always heard growing up. I mean even if your parents were foreign and didn’t listen to American music, you still probably had heard Steven Tyler’s distinct vocals on either “Walk this Way,” “Dream On,” “Cryin’” or “Crazy.” (And if you were living under rock during most of …
For those that don’t follow my every Facebook move… I created an “extended” outtake version of the Chester French piece I did for TV Guide. [vodpod id=Groupvideo.2452491&w=425&h=350&fv=] more about “untitled“, posted with vodpod
So I didn’t really publicly talk about it for fear it wouldn’t happen, but thankfully my fears have been alleviated. So now I can “eeek.” Eeeeeek! I was part the of studio audience during Justin Timberlake’s Jimmy Kimmel taping this evening. It was… magical? I don’t get starstruck. I mean in my industry, you really …
Remember this post? Here’s what aired on Monday. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vh8wSnOzn0&feature=channel_page]
Flight to Vegas? $285. Hotel stay at MGM? $184. Enjoying Sin City on the company’s dime and ending up at the Capitol Records party — oblivious to the fact that Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman are there? Priceless. April 5th was the Sunday of birthday weekend, and I spent it…working. Granted, you really can’t complain …
John Mayer’s Cruise Ship. March 26th, 2009. Yes…a press event…on a boat. John Mayer was kicking off his 4-day concert-cruise with fans, but before that, he teamed up with VH1’s Save the Music Foundation for a celeb-filled event. OK, it wasn’t entirely celeb-filled, but John Mayer was there, and well, that’s a big enough name …
I have like 4-5 other “Khanversation Piece”-worthy stories, but this one can’t wait. OK so, as most of you already know (because of a certain facebook picture/status/tweet,) I met Kobe Bryant yesterday. More specifically, Alecia and I did set visit to a production stage in LA, where Kobe Bryant was taping a segment for Sesame …
…If you don’t already. Their name? Chester French. I was introduced to the band a few years ago, thanks to one of my high school favorites, Chuka Ugwu-Oju. Max Drummey, half of the Chester French duo, is Chuka’s friend. It was actually Max who kept me entertained while I was out in Massachusetts interviewing for …
