“Cho Show”’s Margaret Cho: Broken Social Scene’s Newest Member?

Photo:VH1 A new leg of Margaret Cho’s “Beautiful” tour kicks off September 12th in Saratoga, California, but she may be onstage with a bunch of Canadians before then: “Broken Social Scene is the best thing happening in modern music. Kevin Drew is a genius and I am so excited about joining them onstage,” she tells Rolling Stone (the collaboration hasn’t happened just yet, but is in the works). “I told him I wanted to just sneak my way into the band, like walking backwards onstage while playing the triangle. This is total proof that The Secret works because every time I would listen to their music, I would say to myself, ‘I wanna be be in this band. I must be in this band. I am gonna be in this band.’ And then it happened!” This season on VH1’s new The Cho Show the comic attempts to break into the music industry on her own. “I recorded a song with legendary producer Desmond Child, and it was really hard. Being a pop diva is much more difficult than I thought. You have to like sing and shit,” she says. “Desmond was a great teacher, and he showed me that I really do have a good singing voice, but it was much more work than I anticipated. I am working on an album right now of all comedy songs so i would say I am modeling myself after Weird Al Yankovic more than Britney.” So what else is on Cho’s playlist? “Tom Petty’s ‘Here Comes My Girl’ is just the ultimate love song — the best girlfriend tribute ever,” she says, counting the Kills’ “Last Day of Magic,” the Raconteurs’ “Five on the Five,” the Killers‘ “Under the Gun” and Girl in a Coma’s “Both Before I’m Gone” songs she “can’t get enough of.” And then there’s Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville, which she says “saved my life and was just reissued to save more lives.” Related Stories: • Broken Social Scene at Lollapalooza • Review: Broken Social Scene, You Forgot It In People

Lollapalooza Preview: Nine Inch Nails, Radiohead, Kanye West Highlight This Weekend in Chicago

Tomorrow sees the start of the annual three day Lollapalooza festival in Chicago’s Grant Park. The organizers have put together a stellar lineup full of superstars. Stay tuned to both Rock Daily and Rock ‘N’ Roll Diary over the weekend for complete coverage of the festival from all angles, from the live sets to the backstage shennanigans and the awesome afterparties. Click the jump for the five acts that promise to be the highlights of the weekend. • Radiohead: Still one of the finest live bands around, Radiohead are the only headliner who don’t have any sets counterprogrammed against them all weekend. Look for them to grind out an epic show. • Nine Inch Nails: Trent Reznor is on a tear, and while the outdoor version of the show won’t be as technically wondrous as the arena version, but based on his energetic set at Pemberton last weekend, this could steal the fest. • Wilco: The hometown heroes always save something special whenever they’re in their own neighborhood. Jeff Tweedy is also performing an afternoon set at the “Kidz” stage that should be pretty great. • Kanye West: Kanye is another hometown favorite, and his festival performances tend to be less stuffy than when he tours by himself, so expect a party. • Broken Social Scene: When they played this festival in 2006, they absolutely brought the house down, and there’s no reason why they can’t do it again. When this ensemble is on, nobody can touch them. More Lollapalooza Coverage: Rock ‘N’ Roll Diary [Photo: Getty]

Five Bands to Watch From SXSW 2008

You’ve seen the awesome photos, checked out our live footage and interviews with folks including My Morning Jacket, N.E.R.D. and Sara Bareilles, and read our daily reports on acts like R.E.M. and Thurston Moore — now get a look at the five up-and-coming artists Rolling Stone spotted down in Austin at this year’s SXSW fest: • Equal parts “dance” and “punks,” Does It Offend You, Yeah? obliterated the crowd with hard beats, glitchy synths, vocoder-enhanced vocals and a few wailing guitar riffs. • Cleveland MC Kid Cudi showed up during rapper Wale’s gig at Stubb’s on Saturday and just about stole the show with a killer Southern-flavored freestyle and a lot of stage presence; more proof that the Midwest is hip-hop’s most happening spot right now. • Los Campesinos!, seven kids from Wales, U.K., combine the insta-party vibe of the Go! Team with Broken Social Scene’s triumphant, ecstatic choruses. • We stumbled on Southend, U.K. outfit These New Puritans playing outdoors on a broiling hot Friday afternoon, and were stopped cold by their funky New Wave freakout — not to mention lead singer Jack Barnett’s steel shirt. Why should Gwar get all the armor? • Manchester, U.K. foursome The Whip are ready-made for dance parties, evoking Daft Punk, LCD Soundsystem and — on their best number, “Trash” — a bit of Stone Roses.

Feist On “Letterman” With an Indie-Rock All-Star Choir: The Backstage Report and Photos From Rehearsals

Last night Canadian singer-songwriter Feist and a choir of indie-rock all-stars hit a Winnebago in midtown Manhattan to rehearse for their performance of “1 2 3 4″ on Late Show With David Letterman. For photos of the crew — which included members of Broken Social Scene, Grizzly Bear, New Pornographers, the National, Mates of State and Nicole Atkins & the Sea — singing The Reminder track onstage, hanging with Paul Shaffer and learning how to clap together, click here. Rock Daily asked Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste (our Coachella correspondent) for a report from the set, and he told us it was “super-fun,” even if nobody got to chat with guest Susan Sarandon (”Visual contact was made,” he jokes). And while the last time Grizzly backed Feist on television (for a performance on Conan O’Brien’s show) the choir was outfitted in baby blue, Droste says he prefers the white robes they sported last night. “The sparkle armbands I could go either way on ’cause they kind of itched a little bit. Last time there was a wardrobe person who had to bring powder blue for everybody ’cause no one has powder-blue pants. Of course,” he adds, “we’re so far away, honestly it doesn’t matter. We could have been wearing no pants.” Working with Feist was wonderful because “She’s a charmer,” he says, “Everyone wants to please a charmer.” And despite his criticsm of the refreshments as “a little mayonnaise-y for my taste,” he hopes his band gets invited back to Letterman’s freezing-cold studio real soon: “Hopefully my comment about the sandwiches won’t deter them. My bandmates were eating the sandwiches and they were loving it. It’s just my own thing. It’s just a mayonnaise preference.”
