Tokio Hotel Member Upset About Something
Now, our pretend knowledge of German is a bit rusty, but it looks as though Bill, the lead singer of the band Tokio Hotel (made-up of anime characters who, through a wizard's wacky magic, left the television and became real "boys"), is unhappy. He's on the cover of this

FBI Foolishly Mistakes Germans For Murderers
Oh dear. It seems the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI" for short), which normally just looks into reports of alien abductions or sends lone rogue agents to kill terrorists, has made a little mistake on a big international operation. The Bureau is on the hunt for James "Whitey" Bulger ("BUHL-jah"), the notorious South Boston mob boss, who is believed to be hiding out in Europe. Last year they'd received a photo, allegedly of Bulger and his girlfriend, taken by an American tourist in Italy. So, they showed it on Aktenzeichen XY, Germany's most popular crime show (well, second only to Tokio Hotel's What Is The No No?), and thousands of people began calling in saying they'd spotted the villainous couple.

Tokio Hotel As Beguiling/Not That Good As Expected
The New York Times review of last night's Tokio Hotel (German sensations, androgynous superheroes) concert managed to make it to the front page of their website. Seems our strange little friends (or are they just mine?) are making a big impact in the only country where music really matters! It also seems that critic Kelefa Sanneh, while maybe not loving the show as a whole, got sucked in by the strange magnetism that lead singer Bill Kaulitz seems to exude: "If this concert was oddly delightful from start to finish, thank Bill Kaulitz, who should, with any luck, be thrilling and perplexing young Americans for the rest of the year." Delightful indeed! [NYT] After the jump, ANOTHER video in case you're not yet convinced. More »

It's Officially Tokio Hotel Day on Gawker
OMG, lucky New York Post reporter Danica Lo got to talk to German band (and newest object of my hatred/morbid obsession) Tokio Hotel today. The musical rock and roll group, which is über-popular already in Europe, is doing a small US tour, hoping to raise their profile over here. Though, judging from the crowd outside the Fillmore East, I'm not sure they need it. Be-makeup-ed and rhinestoned teenage girls abound. Rearrange a few decades here and there, and all of them could be me. Or YOU. Sob. Here's the interview. Their "Ready, Set, Go" video is after the jump. More »
Dream Bands
My latest bizarre fascination/sign of end times, German band Tokio Hotel, is in New York City, RIGHT. NOW. They played a show at the Fillmore East last night, and will play another tonight. If you're curious to meet old LolCait, I'll probably be waiting outside the stage door in baggy raver pants, holding a Hello Kitty lunchbox. Like the teenagers are doing now. Oh, and I'll probably have a gun, too. [TONY]

The Party Picks
We did things a little differently this week. Your nominations were all deserving, but sadly I had to winnow it down to six. I hope you'll enjoy them and know, if you didn't win, that you're still wonderful and valid. Just not quite as wonderful and valid as the winners. Once you're done reading these, please go back and click on that Tokio Hotel picture. I'm trying to get them household name status here in the States. More »
