Happy Valentine's Day!
If you haven't noticed lately, PPF got new Message Boards on Tuesday 2/11. You can still get to them through the link on PPF or you can just use the link here! On the boards I am still registered as stargazer0501, you can PM me, or say hi or anything if you want to.
I heard that PP started recording there latest cd this week and are working with Producer Stephen Street.
Thanks Sheryl from the PPF MB for that info.
Also, I'm pretty sure Stephen Street has previously worked with "The Smiths, Blur, The Cranberries, Catatonia, Sleeper, Shed Seven and many more."
Also, are you a PPF Fan Club Member? Well, if you are, check out Fanfare at PPF for some new cool editions including a new Meet The Crew section with some hilarious quotes anout the guys.
Thanks PPF for the Fanfare info.
Oh and I keep forgetting to post this, but the last 2 weeks or so, Diane has had two great PP demos, "Amy" and "Fine On My Own" up at her site for download. Those are now no longer for download, but she has two new downloads now, They are the "In Our Darkest Hour" Demo and the live version of "God Only Knows/It's Gonna Be Me (live Beach Boys/N*SYNC cover from the Roxy)." I highly suggest downloading these, and you MUST hear "Amy." I think that is PP's most beautiful song yet. I have it on my computer, so if you can't find it anywhere else, email me.
You can download the songs at Diane's site here.
You can see Jessica's great pictures from the last 2 shows here and you can see Brit's pictures from The El rey show here.
And lastly, I am no longer a moderator at the message boards. With the new boards, PPF decided that they will start with new mods that wil have to apply again. So, I have now gone back to being part of a place I truly love, but wasn't allowed to be part of and be a mod at the same time. Yes, I have returned to the SFC.
2/11/03
Finally! Sorry about the delay for The El Rey pictures. I had them all ready to go and then so many people tried coming to my site my bandwidth went crazy and even blocked me out! The reviews will hopefully be up tomorrow. Maybe Thursday. But here are The El Rey pictures!!
2/9/03
I'll put up the rest of the pictures from The El Rey hopefully tomorrow. I will also put up set lists from each show tomorrow and as soon as I can, I will put up reviews from both shows. So keep checking back and enjoy!

Hi everyone. If you haven't noticed yet. I have done some major work in Tour- Past Dates. I added well over 50 past show dates from 2002 all the way back to the creation of PP.
Now I am asking for your help. If you know of any past show dates that I have not listed or you know for sure that any of my dates are wrong, please email me at stargazer0501@hotmail.com and I will update this site as well as give you credit where deserved. I am trying to build a list of as many show dates that we can possibly find so someday all PP fans can look back and see how PP has evolved over the years.
Thanks -Ashley

PP announced a second LA show! It is on Feb. 7th at The Roxy. I got my tix today and there are still plenty left. Sadly though, I heard the El Rey show is sold out. Thankfully I got my tix for that show the day they went on sale.
In other news, at the end of the Maroon 5 show on Sunday night (1/26), all of PP except Jason got up on stage and performed a cover of AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" with the members of Maroon 5. I heard it was great!

In the New York Daily News on 1/22/03, this article mentioning PP was found:
"Babyface And His Baby: It's not all movies in Sundance...there's music, too. Singer, songwriter and producer Kenneth (Babyface) Edmonds and his missus, recording exec Tracey, caught a show by Phantom Planet at the Chrysler Lounge there over the weekend."
Thanks Annie from the PPF MB for this info.

In response to a question, Damian from OK Go posted this on the OK Go mesage boards:

Thanks michelle (theSecondOne) from the PPF MB for this info.

Jason talked about his prom in the current issue of YM Prom. Here is what he had to say:
Jason Schwartzman
Phantom Planet, Windward School, Los Angeles, 1998
"I was the straight-up tuxedo guy in the limo. But my prom was organized like a scavenger hunt-that was different. Our school didn't tell us where it was going to be. We met in the high school parking lot, got a clue, had to figure it out, and then go to another clue. It took an hour to find the place. If you gave up, there was a hot line to tell you where it was. The theme was a kind of pirate ship, but with gambling. It was the weirdest prom ever. I've only been to two, but it was very bizarre. I enjoyed it while I was there, but it wasn't the greatest moment of my life. I just went because I thought you should go."
Thanks Ayan from the PPF MB for this info.
Jason was also spotted on People's Worst Dressed list. He was wearing a gold suit that they said looked like a "hand me down." [Actually I remember seing this suit quite awhile ago, so this may be old news.]
Thanks iAmAztecGold from the PPF MB for this info.

Thanks Marianne for that info.

Here is a Review by Buddyhead of the x-mas compilation PP is on:
Various Artists
Maybe This Christmas
Nettwerk
What on Earth could possibly be worse than having to hear Christmas songs? Nothing you would think, right? WRONG! Ive found the answer Phantom Planet covering Winter Wonderland. Just when you thought they couldnt get any lamer they have exceeded all of our expectations like a god damn steroid shooting Olympic hurdler. I wish these guys would just stick to looking pretty, acting, and throwing rad house parties.
--Travis Keller
Thanks Sam from the PPF MB for this info.

Ok. So I decided to update here instead of working on my next paper right now. Oh trust me you are loved. : )
Thanks LoLoRoo from the PPF MB for this info.
In the January 2003 issue of YM, you can find this tidg bit about PP:
pg. 67, Editor Obsessions
Patty Adams
"Obsession doesn't even begin to describe my strange attachment to Jason. His band, Phantom Planet, is amazing. I saw them in concert four times and and was never disappointed. Jason's an animal on the drums, and it's so cute how he sticks out his tongue and stands up when he plays. I also really like his acting--especially as the sleazy B-movie director in CQ. Come to think of it, Jason's cousin Roman Coppola directed CQ and Phantom Planet's video for "California," so i might have a minor obsession with him, too."
Thanks GoSailorGo for this info.
You can find this info including Jason in the December 2002 issue of Maxim Blender:
i love this cd:
jason schwartzman
star of rushmore, slackers and simone

Happy December everyone!
PP won the Heinekin Launch EM Or Leave EM Contest!
There is a short Jason arrticle in the December 2002 issue of Maxim Magazine. Here is what it said:
PHANTOM PLANET'S JASON SCHWARTZMAN
The drummer and sometime actor takes the piss out of his band mates
"We were in Indianapolis in this makeshift dressing room behind the stage, and there were these two brown Tupperware cases full of ice with beer and sodas in them. Then there was another Tupperware bucket right next to it, but it had just melted ice and water in it. We're about to go on, and [lead singer] Alex Greenwald says, 'I have to go to the bathroom.' And I'm like, 'Alex, we don't have time. This is the big league. You gotta be a little bit more responsible here and take care of your business before work time.' But he's like, 'I gotta go.' So he pulls out little Alex and pees right in the bucket that's just ice and water. And we're like, 'Oh, that's nasty,' and he's just laughing and pissing right in the thing. 'Ha, ha, ha,' right? So we go onstage, play the goddamn show, and come backstage before the encore. WE look over at [guitarist] Darren Robinson, and he's got his hands in the bucket. He's like, 'I'm so hot. I feel gross.' He's washing his face in it! And we're like, 'Dude, that's the one he peed in!' He still went out there for the encore, though." --as told to David Peisner
Thanks Anne from the PPF MB for this info.
If you go to the music section on AOL, you can now choose the blinking Phantom planet logos as your buddy icon.
Thanks Sam from the PPF MB for this info.
Chris from the PPF MB had this to say about a PP TV finding in Germany on 11/25/02:
I just caught a short interview (actually it was only one question) with Jason, Alex and Jacques on a German music channel called VIVA. They were asked what their fave movies were atm. Jason - King of Comedy by Martin Scorsese (those Italians sure stick together, eh?); Alex - Annie Hall by Woody Allen (awww, I think I love you, Alex. haha. Woody is my all time favorite movie director never mind he's a dirty ol man); Jacques - all movies made between 1985 and 2002 (huh? You can do better than that Jacques j/k).
Judging by Alex's hair (short), the clip must have been taped when the guys did a couple of shows here in May. (And stupid me missed them because I didn't know them back then. Argh.)
PP is in Issue 33 Nov - Dec. 2002 of Amplifier Magazine with OK Go on the cover. They are on page 28 with a picture of alex. Then there is a picture of PP with OK Go in the middle of the Ok Go article.
Thanks Gen from the PPF MB for this info.
If you can't find the Amplifier Magazine in a store near you, you can go here to view the OK Go article online, but the PP article is not online.
Thanks GoSailorGo from the PPF MB for that info.
I have more info to put up here, but I have to go write a research paper. I'll put up the rest of the info later today.
11/19/02
Here is the link to a pic of Maroon 5 and part of PP!
Thanks pinkowinko from the PPF MB for this info.
On 11/10/02 there was a small mention of PP in AP Magazine:
"Use the phrase 'actor turned singer' around your pals, and watch them cringe as visions of Dogstar, Don Johnson and Eddie Murphy dance through their heads. To be fair, the half-way believable "my so-called band" 30 Seconds To Mars and the Rushmore guy's Phantom Planet are recent evidence of a possible changing of the guard on the thespian-turned musician credibilty front."
Thanks Tara from the PPf MB for this info.
Jason was spotted at the ben lee show/vanessa carlton show on 11/11/01 at the HOB on Sunset by tracy from the PPF MB.
Here you can find a PP article in the University of Western Ontario Gazette written by Jessica.
Thanks jessicaclaire78 from the PPF MB for this info.
The sonic session version of california is on y100's new sonic session cd which is available in the Philadelphia area.

Hi everyone. Sorry about not updating sooner. I haven't been feeling too well, but finally I am doing better again.
Over the weekend I did get the new Incubus Morningview DVD, which is a must for any die hard PP fan. The tour section is about 22 minutes long, but the first 5 minutes is jam packed with PP including Jacques interviewing Incubus fans and Jason doing one of his crazy dances back stage! It's hialrious and I loved it!!
I would also like to thank everyone who has been coming to The Seeting Star because this site has now had over 7000 visitors!!! Thanks!!!
There is a picture of Jason with the cast of his next movie "Spun" in the newest issue of In Style with Faith Hill on the cover.

10/27/02
I finally saw the commercial on MTV2 for MTV's Handpicked 2 cd that is coming out soon and features "Lonely Day"!
PP is mentioned in the November 2002 issue of Interview Magazine. I bought this magazine in a mini mart on Melrose on Thursday night. The article is Jake Gyllenhaal interviewing Selma Blair. His the part in which PP is mentioned:
JG: Seeing as you're in Los Angeles, did you check out your boyfriend Jason's [Schwartzman] band, Phantom Planet, at the Troubadour when they played?
SB: Yeah. They've gotten so good. Actually, you have to see the band that opened up for them. They're called the Like--
JG: I know! The Like is fabulous.
SB: You know them? Wow! I was trying to get into the Troubadour last night to see them again but I couldn't.
JG: I was there last night. It was sold out.
SB: We were having a tough time so I went to dinner with my friends.
If you are like me and could not find Paper Magazine in book stores when Jason was in it, Jessica has scanned the pictures and put them on her site.
Go to
to see those pictures and read the article.
The rerun of PP on Conan OBrien was on 10/23/02 and on 10/24/02 on Comedy Central as well.
Thanks tara211287 from the PPF Mb for that info.
PP is also in the Oct/Nov 02 No. 56 issue of Magnet Magazine. They are on page 60 in an aticle called "Class of 2002." Here is part of the last paragraph that mentions PP:
"Recording tracks for LP number three probably won't happen until late this year, but future plans assuredly don't include any acting gigs. Which is too bad, as the manic, floppy haired Schwartzman is the natural choice to star in a Keith Moon bioflick. Were ever such a film lensed, Greenwald has a large costarring role in mind: 'Moon's Dealer.'"
Thanks Gen from the PPF MB forthe Magnet magazine info.
PP is on the cover of Shure Magazine, which is a seasonal music magazine. Go to:
to sign up for the free subscription!
Thanks AliciaMW from the PPF MB for this info and Chris from the PPF MB for the link.
PP is also mentioned in a German alternative rock magazine. Here is what Chris has to say about the finding:
"It's a review of this years Eurpean festival summer and there's also one or two pages about the alternative rock fest Bizarre in Germany and they mention Phantom Planet as the darling band of the weekend because they knew how to work the crowd. Plus a smallish not too good picture of Alex onstage (nothing to write home about)." -Chris
Thanks Chris from the PPF MB for this info.
PP was in a college paper in Florida.

There was also a short PP article in New York Magazine -the latest issue entitled "One Year Later: 9/11/02." The article is on pg. 96 in the Nightlife section and there is also a picture of the guys.
Here's the article:
Performance:
Planet Rock
Thanks to bands like the Vines and the Hives, rock is having an atavistic moment. But few of the garage-rock heavies take their retro obsessions as seriously as Los Angeles's Phantom Planet (pictured *the picture is the one featured in EW's "Bands to Watch"*), a group that seems intent on resurrecting Brian Wilson-ish naivete with songs like "Anthem" and "One Ray of Sunlight." Their fan base, however, is as arch as they come: The band is trailed by hipsters dying for a glimpse of drummer and Rushmore star Jason Schwartzman (that's him, second from right), and they'll doubtless sell out Phantom Planet's September 19 gig at Warsaw in a heartbeat (see "Small Stages.")
Thanks beautifulblues from the PPF MB for this info.
PP was also on an episode of Rove Live around Sept. 9th.
Thanks RockPrinzesss from the PPF MB for that info.

THE SCHWARTZMANS
Coppola scions Jason and Robert (sons of Francis' sister Talia Shire) nurture their rock 'n' roll dreams while acting in movies.
Jason, 22, won a cult following for "Rushmore," but he's happier playing the skins in Phantom Planet. Robert, 19, the geeky heartthrob of "The Princess Diaries," fronts a popular group called Rooney. He's also changed
his last name -- twice -- in the past year, first to Schwartzman-Cage, in homage to cousin Nicolas, and later to Carmine, after grandfather Carmine Coppola.
It's by Carla Meyer"

I also just checked SBN's website, and Phantom Planet are on its "A playlist" which means they're on pretty heavy rotation."

2) a great feature in "On", the section that showcases what they think will be the next big thing
3) a (gasp) basically positive review of "California" in the singles section. getting a positive review from NME is not too shabby because they're opinionated bastards, to put it mildly

Well, here I am. Back with good PP news. Katie from the PPF MB found info on The Rock Book that PP is in. Nobody that I know of until her has seen this book, so here is all her info if you want to see it too!
So, here's the info on the Rock Book. All proceeds go to the American Red Cross, and you need to send a donation of at least $30 to:
"Rock Book"
c/o American Red Cross
1732 Champa St.
Denver, CO 80202
You can also call 1-800-598-2739 ex. 2604 if you have any other questions. The book features 16 artists, "16 points of view on rock," which include PP, American Hi-Fi, Pete Yorn, The Dandy Worhols (Woo!) and many others.
Also, on the PPF MB, someone found some really good picturess of PP in a mysterious teen magazine that no one could find. Well, Katie also found out that this magazine is called Teen Modern and the PP pics are an ad for The Rock Book.
Teen Modern is a new, free, trial magazine that was sent to people who subscribe to Modern Salon (mainly hair places).
Also, check your local tv listings and see if PP is on Kilborn on 4/1 or 4/5. The official word is still 4/5, but some places say it's 4/1. I thought PP was taping the show on 4/1 and it was airing on 4/5. I'll give you an update on that as soon as I find out for sure myself.

Have you bee watching MTV2 lately? Well, I did this morning and there is a new MTV2 commercial advertising the many different music vifeos they play including Sum 41, Blink 182, and Elton John. The great thing about this commercial is that "California" is the music being played throughtout the entire commercial!-And the ad is extra long! I've already seen it twice, so if you haven't already seen it, I'm sure you will soon.
Also, there will only be 50 Roxy and Glasshouse tickets given away at the free shows when you buy The Guest. And the tickets will be given to the first 50 people who buy the cd during the signing -not when the store opens that day. Thanks PPF for that info.
