Blogging The Tsunami Relief Show

Hi. I am taking over Stereogum. I'm not Scott. I am, however, his evil twin, Johnny Tsunami. Because Scott is stupid enough to give me his log-in info, I'm going to blog this shit REAL TIME.

So, are you guys watching Trio right now? Or, say, any NBC affiliate in the world? 'Cause the Tsunami Relief Show is banging, yo.

No, but seriously: Renee Zelly looked earnest, Drew Barrymore looked sober, Roger Waters is still totally and completely alive, and James Woods makes me want to cry. Holy shit, did you guys know Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman are still together? At least for Red Cross promotional purposes.

Okay, I don't listen to country music. Who the hell is this bald dude singing? Is it Toby Keith? I bet it's not, but I wish it were Toby. He'd sing about America sticking its big ol' boot in the tsunami's butt.

Eric McCormack: not really gay. Actually, he might be, as he seemed a bit excited about Annie Lennox getting ready in London. Also, a special thanks to Poker Stars Dot Net.

Everyone loves Raymond Romano, but no one loves a tsunami.

Annie Lennox is breaking glass, dropping the debt, and looking surprisingly good. She's left the MAC makeup behind and she's managing hideous green backlighting surprisingly well. And when they cut to David Spade, he looks like he's going to cry. And as much as I love this song she's singing, "Why can't you see this boat is sinking" doesn't seem all too appropriate for the circumstances. Insensitive dyke.

OMG OLD PRESIDENTS ARE ON TV! Borrring, bring back Nelly. That dude's a hitmaker.

So you can't get through on the TsuRel (that's short for Tsunami Relief) hotline, and they're suggesting we go online to make our donations. Which is bullshit, because I'd only call for a chance to talk to Baffleck. I bet if I invited him over, he'd blow rails off of the small of my back, right by my butterfly tattoo.

Oh Scott, you so cray-zeh! "Renee Zelly"? You sound more like the guy from that Thighs Wide Shut site.

Johnny Tsunami, pfffff!! Y'all bust me up! Now get back to posting freckle-ass Lindsay and I-can-smell-her-stank-from-here Britney pics.

You'd think someone would post something funny if they were going to spend the time to 1) hack the site and 2) watch the whole Tsunami Relief benefit. I'm not as impressed as I should have been.

John Mayer's weird facial expressions while playing a bad cover of Bold as Love probably had Hendrix rolling in his grave....oh and Mayer's voice sucked too. Seriously who does he think he is, because I know who he is...he is the guy who wrote about somebody's body being a wonderland or something like that.

Note to Madonna: PLEASE DO NOT COVER ANY SOLO SONGS BY ANY FORMER BEATLES OR ANY BEATLES SONG FOR THAT MATTER!!!!!! What was up with the cheesey shot of her at the end of the song holding up one finger making a sensitive artist face????

I thought that Norah Jones was good. As was India.Aire and Stevie Wonder. Roger Waters looks really old as does Eric Clapton, I guess his 25 year old wife isn't taking him to get shot up full of botox (which is a good thing!). How annoying was Jay Leno!

Oh thank you Grimmone...my friend and I were watching it, she wasn't over the fact how horrible she sounded (she had a weird low warble to her voice), and I kept apologising to Mr. Lennon. To wake up from the dead and hearing your song butched must feel like...well what's worse than death? Ashlee Simpson live?

LOL Calliwell! She was pretty bad. I was reading that she sent Kaballah water over to the victims of the Tsunami. I mean really seriously WTF? Is she now trying to convert the Tsunami victims to Kaballahism!? That's like when Kosvo happend Paul and Linda McCartney sent over tons of tofu for the refugees?

Sorry back to the tsunami relief. I wonder if all the people who called in and spoke with Brad Pitt asked him what happend between he and Jennifer. And also I hate to mention her name but were was Paris? I can just see her at the camera saying that Tsunami relief was hot!

John Mayer DID NOT write "Your Body Is A Wonderland" about Jennifer Love Spewitt. They started dating right when the single was released AND his album had already been released. You do the math. Retards.

Why dont you post that just one more time Jessi, cause I dont think 3 times was enough. Who cares who he wrote it about, its a lame ass song, and he is one ugly mother fucker.

It's true, he's ugly, it's a lame song, and he does odd jerky movements while he plays the gituar pretending he's like a Blues version of Jimmy Hendrix.

Does anyone remember that performance? He was even doing the face I usually see on people strainging to find a beat on the dancefloor.

Also! Kabbalah water?! What! Just what people who've been destroyed by the ocean want - more fucking water! Good thinking Esther.

They most likely need water to help fight off any diseases such as Malira (sp?) one symptom is direaha. But why does it have to be Kaballah water why can't it be regular old water such as Poland Spring or Deer Park?

I prefer Evion. Is that how you spell it? You know the water with the unecessary beauty care system?

Gah, when reading that I realised I forgot to add the word "useless" in front of water.

Oh God...I just read this old stuff & it is fucking hilarious. Madonna can't sing anything. John Maher & Eric Clapton are now best friends & Beavis on Crack is right he is an ugly mother fucker and was equally as lame for Katrina Relief too. Yeah Eric's 20 something year old wife is with him because he is such a regular guy...or maybe she is waiting for him to kick-off so John Maher can see if HER body is a wonderland.... Hey...my ass doesn't stink ya bastard!
