Once again, host Dick Gordon manages to suck the life out of an interesting topic…

Presley is in nyc for a “conference”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/presley/tags/aacrao/, but that didn’t stop me from leaving the house last night. I caught “Graham Coxon”:http://grahamcoxon.co.uk, former guitarist for a little britpop outfit called “Blur”:http://blur.co.uk.
I love Graham’s new album, “Happiness in Magazines”:http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00070Q88G/002-0615116-7890441?v=glance, and was delighted to find out that he also puts on a hell of a show, for such a shy guy. His vocals especially were quite strong, though he freaked out and stopped in the middle of a song because the lighting guy put a spot on him…
My first _Blur_ show was in March of ‘97, in the “Middle East”:http://mideastclub.com _Downstairs_, when I was a freshmen (yikes) in college. Rivers Cuomo was hanging out at the bar, Damon soaked me with water from his many bottles, and Graham mostly sulked in the corner, strumming veraciously. That was the best concert I have ever seen.
Seeing Graham kind of makes me wish he was still in Blur, and they were still playing little clubs…

This Kelly Clarkson meme just won’t quit…
I watched a bit of “FoodTV”:http://foodtv.com/ on Sunday, and suffered through “Rachael Ray”:http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/rachael_ray/0,1974,FOOD_9928,00.html and her _awful accent_ and _mannerisms_… I’ve never _once_ wanted to eat anything she cooks, because she annoys me _so much_.
But _after_ Rachael, a delightful woman came on, who I’ve never seen before: “Giada De Laurentiis”:http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/hosts_celebrity_chefs/article/0,1974,FOOD_9889_1842136,00.html, and she apparently cooks “Italian”:http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_ei. Sure, she’s _hot_, but the production values on this show are a little more modern, (think “Nigella”:http://www.nigella.com/), with nice lighting and editing.
The show was so pleasant to watch, I ended up cooking her “Steak Salad”:http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/cda/recipe_print/0,1946,FOOD_9936_26400_PRINT-RECIPE-FULL-PAGE,00.html for Presley and I last night. I went a little overboard on the _Gorgonzola_, but I really love the creamy taste. And, you can never have too much cheese, right?
