My Top 5 Obsessions This Week

It has been a whirlwind of a month. So many activities and shows to watch. I am very excited about Priscilla Barnes' new podcast on RadioTitans.com called Barnestorming. There will be some great guests coming up. And now for my top five.

1) I just went to a B52's Tribute at Oasis SF produced by Heklina with special guest star The amazing Cindy Wilson. A great line-up of acts with Cindy perched in a chair sipping a glass of Champagne and clearly enjoying the antics of the performers. She performed "She Brakes For Rainbows." A personal favorite of mine, so great to see how much she enjoyed donning one of her eponymous Beehives. I also went to see her two nights later sans wig sporting a short sassy do and performing songs from her new solo EP Sunrise with 5 songs, three of them covers. She was in amazing vocal form with a new trancey sound.

2) I am very excited to announce that Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour concert has been released on Showtime. And it is spectacular!! She is truely iconic and this showcases all the best qualities that make her concerts such an event. The cinematic sweep is thrilling to watch as she works the crowd into a frenzy while performing revamped versions of her hits and new cuts from the Rebel Heart album. A personal favorite was her version of "La Vie En Rose". 

3)  One of the best Lobster Corn Chowders I ever had was at New England Lobster Company in Burlingame CA. Buttery and creamy with succulent chunks of Lobster. Everything is fresh and flown in daily and the Lobster Roll is as tasty as anything I have ever had.

4) Gilmore Girls A year In The Life. Set a decade after the series wrapped, it follows Rory and Lorelei throughout four seasons of a year. At times , very emotional and hilarious with the familiar rat tat tat snappy dialogue we know and love. Look for cameos from Parenthood and the now famous 4 last words. I loved it all but could really use some more Star's Hollow right now - maybe one more year?

5) My favorite train wreck reality show is Mariah's World. It follows her Sweet Fantasy touring an 8 part series. Something is really wrong when Mariah is portrayed as the least Diva in the cast. Fights breakout between dancers and back up singers while Momma Mariah soothes damaged egos. Hilariously inept assistant  Molly and Stella the Diva manager are standouts. Seeing Mariah in a bustier and heels lying on a chaise lounge talking to her children is great little nugget. I love it.
