Quddus! Quddus! Qudouche!

"I kind of figure this is like a nice halfway mark to just kinda lose your mind and go nuts...so thats kind of what I've done....with the help of a little coors lite and some crown royal. But its totally a natural high. Because sleep deprivation is the cheapest drug in the world. You know what...you wanna get high? You wanna get hiiiiigh? Stay up for 36 hours...you'll trip balls. Trippin balls...trippin balls..."



Have I ever mentioned how awesome Dave Grohl is? Seriously, the guy is amazing. I'm finally watching the live rock performance from the 24 Hours of Foo that aired on MTV2 last Saturday, and its just awesome. They're playing an all out rock set in front of like 30 people who are no more than 10 feet from the band. I don't think words can even describe how incredible that would be.
But yeah, I DVR'd various parts of the 24 hours and caught most of it over the past several days. This is the last thing I need to watch, but I must say the whole thing was pretty sweet. Some of the things that happened:
-Dave apparently is an ordained minister of some sort and married 2 couples
-The band did a nice acoustic set
-They played some trivia game with Amy Poehler and David Cross
-Janeane Garafolo and Fred Armisen showed up and chilled
-Dave and Taylor went out into Times Square and played drums on buckets for like half an hour with street performers
-There was a Win a Date with A Roadie type deal
-Dave frolicked around to A-Ha's 'Take on Me'
-Dave said "Quddus" about 87 million times...which is apparently some MTV VJ who he'd never met, but thought the name was awesome
-And lots of other random and weird things

The person that thought up the idea of having the Foo Fighters on TV for 24 straight hours is a total and complete genius. So cool.

If Winona Ryder and Dave Grohl had a baby...


Awww...they're playing 'This is a Call" right now. The memories, the memories...
"fingernails are pretty
fingernails are good
seems that all they ever wanted was a marking
them balloons are pretty
big and say they should
ever fall to ground
call the magic marker"
When I saw the Foos open for the Chili Peppers several years back (I believe it was my 2nd time seeing them), I think they closed their set with this, and I almost threw my vioce out singing along with it. What the crap? They just bleeped out "ritalin" from the song. You can't say ritalin on MTV? Weird. But geez, watching this is getting me so stoked to see them live. Dave said somewhere that they might be touring with Weezer sometime in the fall. It sounds intriguing, but I dont know...I guess it could work. Weezer's cool, though I wasn't a big fan of Maladroit, and the new one, Make Believe, is just OK. The most important thing, though, is that the Foos headline the tour. The Foo Fighters playing before Weezer???...I don't think so. Whatever happens, I WANT TO SEE THE FOOS LIVE NOW!
Crazy, now MTV is letting some Foo Fighters cover band called Monkey Wrench play a song...with the Foo Fighters instruments, no less. I'm not sure I like that. I don't think Dave and the guys even stuck around to watch them...that's pretty funny.

Quddus!
