We were lucky enough to attend the American Idol Press Session today at the Bank Atlantic Center. We met David Cook, Syeesha, Ramielle, Jason Castro and Brooke White. They could not have been more gracious and humble! We gave David Cook a copy of an interview that Nicole did with Michael Johns back in 2003 to pass along.Videos to come ASAP.

We keep seeing swimmer Michael Phelps with his earphones from his IPOD on before every race. Wonder what he’s listening to?
Phelps listens to hip-hop music on his ipod. He says it helps motivate him before a race.
While his pre-race tracklist varies, Phelps has said that “I’m Me” by Lil’ Wayne has been on his playlist in Beijing. The track, off Weezy’s EP “The Leak” features the line:
Yes I am the best/and no I ain’t positive I’m definite/I know the game like I’m reffing it
Other artists that populate Phelps’ iPod include: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Eminem and Outkast. Occasionally, he’ll throw some techno into the mix, but usually keeps things rap-centric. Phelps doesn’t speak much about the specific songs he’s listening to, but he did tell NBC in 2004 that Eminem’s “‘Til I Collapse” was on his most-played list at Athens. In 2005, he created a playlist for the website Rhapsody that included the songs “Roses” by Outkast, “Burn” by Usher, “Overnight Celebrity” by Twista and “Smile” by G-Unit.
Not exactly my playlist but what works for him……..
So I told you guys about our book and that’s coming out next summer. Ran into a snag recalling some dates. If anyone who worked on the show back in the olden days, like 2002-2003 remembers when we interviewed My Chemical Romance and Brand New, the month and year at least, I would so appreciate you emailing us that info!!! Also the month and year Travis and Nicole interviewed Taking Back Sunday back at Club Ovation…… If anyone out there is a friend or remembers going to that show….please email us at info (at) therockstarstories.com. You will be rewarded for your efforts.
Thanks guys!!!
