Tidbits 7/18

• Clay mention on Jimmy Kimmel last night - from the CB's mycuteclay:

  Jimmy mentioned tonight that his show was on in Atlanta and Charlotte now and that it was covering the area like a bunch of boll weivels...or something like that. He went on to say, "And we have Clay Aiken and his Claymates to thank for that." It was cute!
  

• Clay down 2 spots to #11 on the Lycos50.
  
• A few mentions of Clay's Oct. 2006 Tyra Banks Show appearance... the episode repeated today:
• Sacromento Bee
• Los Angeles Times
• Halifax News/Canadian Press wire - Fantasia & Clay ... honestly, I have no idea how valid this comparison is... true, they're both from NC, but there's catering to a completely different audience!
  

  Think the Idol series are a road to Nowhere Land for budding singers? Life Is Not a Fairytale: The Fantasia Barrino Story might change your tune. Barrino won American Idol in 2004. Since then, she's released two albums, been nominated for several Grammy Awards and is currently starring in the Broadway musical Colour Purple. Take that, Clay Aiken! (Citytv)
  

• CBS Showbuzz - article about the band Rooney mentions John Fields, a producer Clay worked with for ATDW -

  Schwartzman and his bandmates decided to go back in the studio on their own with all new songs and a new producer, John Fields, who has worked with Soul Asylum, Switchfoot, Clay Aiken, and Pink.

• WakeWorld - random Clay mention ... this article is about "wakeboarding". Someone enlighten me as to what the heck this means...

  Huge thanks to the crew at Dbot5 Pro Audio. Our X Star demo boats will literally level mature trees when we turn up Clay Aiken. You need to check out their new speakers at Dbot5.com. If you're not into speakers, try their golf clubs.
