Ivana: The wandering Jew has returned home
Lenny: who is that
Ivana: I guess you didn't even notice I was away
Lenny: it depends, which one are you
Ivana: which one what? who's on first?
Lenny: i hope one of the yankees
Ivana: go boston
Lenny: these last two games have taken a lot out of me
Ivana: i can say the same about these last two weeks. it was my 24th CMJ--I tried this line on the other attendees, "hey kid, did you know I used to do college radio with your parent?" not surprisingly, the response was usually a look of horror
Lenny: did u see any great bands at CMJ?
Ivana: tons--i was out every night until 3am—so not like me!
Lenny: give me your top three best live shows u saw
Ivana: my three best live shows were: The Zombies (not exactly a CMJ show, but genius nonetheless), The Bravery and TV on the Radio
Lenny: ah, and what label is TV on?
Ivana: Touch & Go
Lenny: do they pay us?
Ivana: they feed my soul
Lenny: cause if they pay us, i love their records
Ivana: i will not comment on that, as i don't want to besmirch their unassailable credibility
Lenny: i understand... whattup at radio this week
Ivana: just some band called Hoobastank—#1 Most Added at every possible format with their new smash "Disappear." even naysayers (garett) can't argue that this song isn’t great
Lenny: it's a killer, and speaking of killers, how's with the new killers "mr. brightside,"--really love that one
Ivana: it's growing by leaps and bounds—another smash
Lenny: howie and christine have good records
Ivana: and Sum 41
Lenny: true dat. what else do i like
Ivana: you love Elefant. or at least I do
Lenny: i love the san diego zoo, does that count?
Ivana: not remotely. although the singer's name IS Diego. he’s dreamy.
Lenny: whattabout muse? i think i like muses cause there were two questions about muses on the sunday crossword and i got them both right
Ivana: rob at warner bros. had a good week with "Hysteria": CIMX, 91X, WRAX--all those "X" stations
Lenny: i never liked X, even with all the robert hilburn hype
Ivana: you're nuts--they're brilliant. Exene and John Doe are incredible. and she was married to Vigo. sigh..
Lenny: oy
Ivana: you're not allowed to say oy until KROQ plays Interpol and i start to dance. those are the rules. so Interpol did their first morning radio show yesterday, mancow. talk about baptism by fire!
Lenny: crossfade is closing, the columbia team wins one of the pomo promo jobs of the year awards for that one
Ivana: yes, ktbz, wbcn, y100 and ktzo this week! then they'll blow out the new Coheed in two weeks.
Lenny: exactly

Ivana: speaking of blowing out, krox austin parted company with pd melody lee, much to the surprise of everybody

Lenny: ted volk is closing quickly on the Music, that way he can concentrate on the clippers earlier.... sorry about melody, what team does she root for
Ivana: is that a sexual question?
Lenny: not "play" for, "root" for
Ivana: i ran into lorraine caruso while i was in nyc--she's got another three days grace smash on her hands. talk about brilliant promo jobs!
Lenny: jive has so many smashes these days, it's almost like they were two labels in one
Ivana: lynn mcdonnell has a massive hit with my chemical romance—"i'm not okay (i promise)" is undeniable
Lenny: i agree, i've had many chemical romances, it's my only shot
Ivana: this is starting to border on creepy
Lenny: i feel that way about your column every week
Ivana: for my sake, i hope the yankees win tonight--you're frightening me
Lenny: the red sox are frightening me... a lot
Ivana: which night next week do you want to see interpol at the wiltern? it's all sold out but i know people
Lenny: which nites are they playing
Ivana: kimmel is tuesday, wiltern is wednesday and thursday
Lenny: tuesday busy, doing my hair.... wednesday is tough, yoga... thursday is out, i'll be asleep
Ivana: "slow hands" is almost Top 20 at PoMo--this is big for Matador!
Lenny: what's with the almost routine, get me some programmers on the phone immediately... butts need to be kicked (or is that kissed)
Ivana: the song will go top 10
Lenny: i agree, it's a smash
Ivana: or heads will roll!
Lenny: hits happen. is mr. brightside top ten yet
Ivana: i want to live in a world where mr. brightside, slow hands and the new franz single are all in the top ten. and we have a new president. and i can sleep at night..
Lenny: that could very well happen, but then it'll probably be pms week and u'll still be cranky
Ivana: i managed to squeeze in an hour of shopping when i was in nyc. dan connelly from emc is the best person to take on a stealth shopping trip
Lenny: did u buy me anything good
Ivana: he assured me i wasn't too flat-chested for the costume national jacket i coveted—although i'm still not sure
Lenny: it ain't the meat, it's the motion.... or at least that's what i try to tell people
Ivana: this is too creepy for words. thanks for calling me "meat"—nice.
Lenny: u brought up the flat-chested thingy
Ivana: who's our head of HR
Lenny: me
Ivana: i'm officially complaining about you to you
Lenny: i beat u to it. i complained about me to me earlier in the day
Ivana: when are you scheduling your "sensitivity training"
Lenny: then i sentenced me to three days out of the office on the golf course
Ivana: and i get to go to seattle to hang out with my pal phil manning. so who's being punished?
Lenny: clearly it's phil
Ivana: good point
Lenny: say goodnight gracie
Ivana: want to watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat?
Lenny: yep, like on boston legal
Ivana: no, like bullwinkle!
Lenny: u haven't watched boston legal this week, eh?
Ivana: i was at the interpol show in chicago with my best friends jacent jackson, john farneda and nash kato
Lenny: did jacent take out one breast
Ivana: wrong jackson
Lenny: btw, what did kroq add this week?
Ivana: NOTHING. they're frozen. and i'm in a coma
