elliott smith new album

hey all - ok the rain has stopped in LA - its kinda shocking how the rain just paralyzes us! cathy at work likened los angles to one big banana peel when wet - so true - i almost slipped a number of times - and i dont even own an umbrella! far change from my days in what seemed always wet NYC - so let's get this post on the road...

	MELISSA ETHERIDGE \na good update on one of popbytes all-time favorites - melissa etheridge was recently diagnosed with\nbreast cancer - she is recovering from surgery - and is doing well- i have all of her albums (and\nwas lucky enough to see her in concert) - and she is a true musical rock & roll great (really she is a top popbytes musical pick)- so i just\nwanted to give a special shout out from popbytes to melissa to get well - we hear yr gal tammy is\ntaking great care of you - so yr in my thoughts - and i know you will be fine and rocking on soon -\nas always!
	ELLIOTT SMITH elliott smith has a new posthumous release out - from a basement on the hill was scraped together\nfrom recordings and demos before his death - it is a great album although quite eerie and sad - elliott committed suicide about a year ago - if you remember he was\nnominated for an oscar for best song for 'good will hunting' - and also dated minnie driver - a great\nmusician - it's quite sad we won't hear more of his haunting rock/ballad alternative tunes - for sure a\nrecommended check out along with his previous albums figure 8 and XO - elliott you are quite missed...
	LAST SAMURAI oh popbytes is still catching up on his movies as tv eats most of my waking hours - but i did manage to\ncatch tom cruise in 'the last samurai' - a long one at about 2 and a half hours - but i actually was\npleasantly surprised - and although i was sleepy i remained awake for the entire film - full of\naction as well as an intriguing look at life of the samurais in japan in the 1800's was well worth my time as\nwell as hunky gorgeous tom cruise - so if you haven't you may want to check it out (a little bit of romance\nhelps too!)

\nps - oh my word - i hope you all caught the premiere last night of THE BIGGEST LOSER - it was a hoot - and quite good - two teams went up against each other - each team vying to lose the most weight combined - the red team lost 19 more pounds than the blue team - so the poor blues had to vote off a team member (the 'skinny' blonde girl left but she is sticking to her diet so dont fret!) - i really liked this show - and the theme song was the latest hot new single from ms. rupaul herself - lookin' good & feelin' gorgeous...popbytes high/dry & out in los angeles!
