then let it be the season finale:

I was hesitant to post about Liz Feldman again at first because I thought I would come across as a bit obsessed, but then my friend pointed me towards an entire blog dedicated to an actress in a very stalkerish way, so I think I’m good to go – for now.
Last night marked the season finale of “This Just Out with Liz Feldman”, and they really were pulling out all the stops for a video blog: A guest appearance (as predicted) by Uh Huh Her, who also performed a gorgeous acoustic version of “Wait Another Day”, a theme song for “This Just Out”, alternative band names for Uh Huh Her because there’s no way of saying the name and looking attractive (“Oui Oui She” and “Oy Oy Lady” were my favourites), an appropriate rendition of the “The L Word”-theme song, and cameos by Nicol Paone, Clea DuVall and Katherine Moennig. Who also was the guest on the very first show, in which Liz repeatedly called her Shane and generally mistook her for her TV show persona. You see, her shtick is to make the interviews as uncomfortable as possible for her guests. Of course most of her guests are her friends in real life and therefore in on the joke, but it’s still hilarious to witness, especially when she starts hitting on them. The show with Kate Moennig also sprung this very entertaining piece of dialogue:
LF: I drew a picture of this v-hole earlier in the show. Would you sign this for my mother, ’cause she has the hots for you.
KM: (laughs) What is that?
LF: Doesn’t matter, just sign it.
KM: (to camera) Can you show?
LF: No I can’t show. Look at that. You know what that is, I know you do. I know you know what that is.
KM: I think you should show it to the viewers.
LF: Can you sign this for my mother?
KM: What’s you… alright. What’s your mum’s name?
LF: Errr…… Liz.
KM: (laughs) Liz? Oh really?
LF: I am named after her.
KM: Ok. (signs)
LF: Ok, and can you sign this one for my grandmother, because she wants to **** you. (hands her another piece of paper)
KM: (laughing/crying) You’re crazy, there’s no way!
LF: No way?
KM: Your grandmother?
LF: Yes, she’s a top.
KM: (laughing out loud) Why thank goodness. Ok. (signs)

I also love this show because of Raimy Rosenduft, who is as gorgeous as her surname suggests. I am so grateful to her because she has a spot on the show where she talks about bands she likes. One week she mentioned The Jealous Girlfriends among Hercules and Love Affair (“pick a title and roll with it”, says Liz) and Santogold. I do like the latter two but I had never heard of the first band, so I checked them out and I can’t believe I managed to miss them all this time! One of their songs was featured on The L Word and they also won first place for the iPod Music Video Contest with their music video for “How Now”. Needless to say, I do think they’re really really good. Their lead singer also recorded a pretty decent cover version of The Smiths’ “Please Please Please”, you can find it here, along with the L Word-song.
On a sidenote, how come they didn’t have this sword when I went to Disneyworld?
But music-wise, I couldn’t find any info. A couple of months ago I was perusing the Uh Huh Her-forum while *cough*at work*cough*, and a member uttered her astonishment about the lack of conversation about Heather Grody’s new band called Redcar. “What?”, I silently exclaimed. “A new band and I have never heard of them?” I swore to myself that listening to them on MySpace would be the first thing I would do when getting home that night. And I forgot.
