Miche calls the WINNERS of this year's Oscars. Yes, before the noms even come out. Fitz & the Tantrums with "We Don't Need Love Songs," courtesy of KCRW. Miche battles her way through countless screenings at Oscar time. She sees some terrible movies. Greenberg. Somewhere. Two divergent views of Los Angeles. Miche doesn't like Ben Stiller or True Grit. Greta Gerwig is a great version of Los Angeles. Miche also doesn't like Larry David and Curb Your Enthusiasm. Another depressing view of Los Angeles: Somewhere. Contrasting Sofia Coppola's previous work to this. Why are we watching this ennui of a spoiled celebrity? Palmdale! At long last!!!! Palmdale with "Happiness Has a Half-Life." Miche follows all the Oscar precursors. She values the Screen Actors Guild and the Broadcast Film Critics Association nominations. Miche bashes the scandal-laden Golden Globes and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Burlesque? The Tourist? Really? The Black and White Years with "The Power to Change." Miche compares the BFCA/Critics Choice award noms with the SAG noms (Best Picture vs. Best Cast). Rooting for Bette White and Hot in Cleveland, and Winona Ryder for "The Lois Wilson Story."

Jonesy and Shovel at Sundance, chatting with John Cusack. KTLA's interview with Jonesy last week, he gives the same answer. Casxio with "My Book." I love this great new show on Indie 1031.com.

Using some found audio, Miche plays the Happy Hollows, singing "Carol of the Bells." How do we know it's Christmas? Miche has an LA moment with some carolers. Many things wondrous and amazing about Indie 103 this week. Among them: a Dead Air CD!!! Watusi Rodeo smacks us down about dissing Ike Turner. We learn what a mansard roof really is.

Miche missed the Indie 103.1 Christmas party for the first time. :-( Sierra Swan with "Don't Say." The main reason to go to the Indie Christmas event, and no, it doesn't involve sitting on TK's lap. Miche recaps the online experience of it. Miche didn't like the Helio woman. Check One Two night at the Viper Room. Le Switch plays to an empty room. Miche dances to cheer them up. Voxhaul Broadcast with "The Echo." Miche still loves dancing to Saint Motel. The organ player from Last American Buffalo convinces Miche to stay and listen.

A musical cornucopia from this week in LA: Ari Shine with "Crank It Out," available on the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com). Other music used by permission of the artists themselves. How was your Thanksgiving? Gram Rabbit's record release party: the good, the bad, the drunken louts. After one crappy band, Miche is riveted to the musical stylings of Crooked Cowboy and the Freshwater Indians (with "Heroes, part 1"). Not so much with Bloodcat Love, though Miche liked the Iggy-style nakedness of the lead singer. The drunken stupor he was in? Not so much. Props to Josh, the guitarist, though. Miche couldn't stick around for Gram Rabbit, who went on after midnight. Sadly, Indie 103 has discontinued its podcasts, quietly and without fanfare. The three Indie podcasts Miche really wanted: Check One Two, Dead Air and Passport Approved. And here's why. However, John Fogarty was on Watusi Rodeo this weekend (not in person). The wondrous Check One Two event at the Viper Room every week. Pop Noir with "Don't Fool Yourself." Idyllists with "Obvious." Upcoming bands on Check One Two night at the Viper. Sophia Ramos with "The One," available on the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com). A prayer for those meeting at the (WGA) bargaining table tomorrow.

This week's Check One Two night includes Ari Shine, Pop Noir and Sam Sparro. And On Blast, with "Lose Control." The substitute hosts for Jonesy this week. A few hobbits and a guy from the Office. Oh, and Kate Walsh. We love Iggy. Can a movie really compete with Spinal Tap? Dewey Cox shall try. Walk Hard. Miche is also really looking forward to the Dylan movie, "I'm Not There." Richard Gere in Hoax. Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, directed by Ridley Scott, in American Gangster. Across the Universe, which is the picture in the podcast window, may get some VFX nods. Miche isn't sure about Charlie Wilson's War, especially because Julia Roberts isn't convincing as a matron. Miche will see anything Jason Bateman is in, including Juno. A Keri Russell double feature with Waitress and August Rush. Miche is psyched about Dylan, and is reading "Chronicles: Volume One" by Dylan. An incongruous moment and an inspirational moment from Dylan. Sophia Ramos with "Shining Still," available on the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com). Miche's perfect media world. What the WGA is fighting for. How wrong can Joe Escalante (of Indie 103's "Barely Legal") be? And why won't he listen?

Miche is happy about just recording two Golden Path episodes. "Only Women Bleed" by Wensday, available on the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com).

This show is dedicated to one of LA's best bands: Go Betty Go. First up, "Ticking Bombs". Available at http://www.myspace.com/gobettygo. Miche thanks SideOne Dummy Records for the music. Once more, it's Watusi RODEO that you must listen to on Indie 103 on Sunday mornings (9 am to 11 am). We love you, Chris Morris. Miche is ecstatic that "Dick in a Box" won! As predicted! The fall Oscar season kicks off with films in the Venice Film Fest and the Toronto International Film Fest. Miche digs the Dylan (of course): "I'm Not There." Cate Blanchett won Best Actress at Venice for playing Dylan. And yes, you heard that right. But four other people play him too. Another cool movie to check out: Across the Universe, directed by Julie Taymor (thank you to Sony Pictures for the attached artwork). Miche prefers stage acting over any other. Are you as addicted to social networking as I am? (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Second Life) Join the group MicheBelz Hollywood Fans on Facebook. GBG: "The PIrate Song." Is Yuwie a good thing or not? A TV rundown: The Riches, Californication, Mad Men. Miche's Emmy picks this year are unconventional, to say the least. See them, and other major critics, here. GBG: "Unreal."

We introduce a new feature, called Susi's Philosophies. Susi sings karaoke to Brad Pitt. And, OK, it does take her a couple of tries to get it right. Well, maybe more than a couple tries. Bear with her. Oh, and her shirt says: "Child of Schwabia."

Indie 103 is the best terrestrial radio on the planet. Detroit rocks harder than any other city. Gore Gore Girls with All Grown Up, available on the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com). TK talks to an "LA band" with disastrous results. In the other corner: LA bands who actually support each other--Happy Hollows, Castledoor and Earlimart. Miche missed Sunset Junction, and missed the misting booth. TK does a remote from there, and interviewed Caspar from the Viper Room who was running the Green Room. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CASPAR. Indie has the new She Wants Revenge single, True Romance. Miche watches baseball highlights and hears Rilo Kiley's new song. And then there's this amazing moon. "August Moon" by After Touch, available on the Podsafe Music Network (http://music.podshow.com). A prayer for Owen Wilson. Emmy Roundup: Miche predicts some of the Emmy races at this point. 30 Rock vs. Ugly Betty. The Sopranos vs. Heroes. Rainn Wilson vs. Jeremy Piven vs. Neil Patrick Harris. Miche's solid gold prediction: Best Drama Writing is going to go to "Occupation: Precipice" from Battlestar: Galactica. People in the service cannot watch YouTube. Miche's hot Podcast Picks: Art of Sex and Bitchiness, Beach Walks with Rox, Ask a Ninja, Hope Is Emo, Daily Source Code, Diggnation, Goodnight Burbank, In the Attic. And yes, Miche does compare Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past to Beach Walks. Miche does love Regina Spektor. "August Moon" by Dylan in the Movies.
