Tonight, the Smith Westerns are playing a blockbuster show at Bowery Ballroom with Wavves. I thought this would be a good time to check in with Smith Westerns’ frontman, Cullen Omori, so I interviewed him for PAPER mag. Read it here.

HBO Develops ‘Band’ Comedy With Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Lizzy Caplan

SO THIS IS HAPPENING.

[Via.]

HBO is teaming with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay’s Gary Sanchez and actress Lizzy Caplan to develop a comedy series project based on actress/writer Julie Klausner’s memoir I Don’t Care About Your Band. The project is eyed as a potential starring vehicle for Caplan, who is coming off Starz’s cult comedy series Party Down. The book, a gritty but comedic look at what it’s like to navigate the dating world in your 20s, chronicles Klausner’s experiences from her preadolescent sexual awakenings through the unsavory details of sleeping with a gallery of losers throughout her 20s.

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Julie Klausner! Huzzah!

Woah.

Back in 1959, when the area around the Time & Life Building was nothing but a vast, orange expanse.

Moneyball Cattle Call Looks Like A Website Created In 1997
Someone clearly hasn’t read Moneyball, the book or the script for the upcoming movie, but that didn’t stop them from putting together a website calling for extras that looks like it’s hosted on Geocities when MC Hammer wore parachute pants.

“Brad Pitt is MONEYBALL” (!!!) This cattle call website is hilarious. And don’t most people realize that because Brad Pitt is playing Billy Beane he won’t be in the scenes at the Coliseum? Actually, now that I think about it, if I was living in the Bay Area, I would most definitely be there every day for this circus.
