I hope you saw The Big Sleep last night. Unfortunately, I had to work, but let me know if you saw the goodness. Were you impressed?
*** If you are like me or Cami, and you want the inside scoop on the third effort from NYC's golden boys, check out a column Gordon Raphael wrote for Rockfeedback. Don't expect an all Strokes article. It's merely the butter on his toast.
*** I'm usually all about new Apple technology, but this noise about U2's limited edition Ipod is less interesting than the dump I took this morning. At least the Edge's name is inscribed on the back so you can totally geek out with other U2 obsessed fan's in various chat rooms. It is black and red which reminds me of the good old days as a bison at Clearfield Area High School.
*** The pirate that lives deep inside me is giddy with joy. Keith Richards is set to play Jack Sparrow's father in the sequel to best pirate film ever.
*** Ever have the desire to see a hip-hop mainstay tread water? Now you can!
*** Another Libertines Live review pining over the loss of Pete. Can't we just get over it and love the Libertines who are still giving us the rock? They are fucking rock. That's it.
*** John Peel was the man. Check out a portion of his epitaph.
*** Another big name in rock passes away. Greg Shaw, who was on the cutting edge of DIY publishing, passed away due to heart failure.
*** A few months ago I stumbled upon one of the Go Team's singles in a bargain bin in the Virgin Megastore. Ever since, Kyle and I have fallen deeply in love with this creative group. Now they have a full-length and the approval of some uber critics.
*** Junkmedia catches up with The Faint as they pass through the city of brotherly love. It's actually an solid interview so if you dig these Omaha kats, check it out. Oh, and that guy from their show who gave me a hard time is still a dick.
*** If you want to be the last to hear, then click here.
*** I'm a huge Trail of Dead fan, but this has me worried.
*** Franz Ferdinand and Epic try to milk the hell out of their debut album. The bonus songs are top notch though, so if you didn't buy the singles way back when, and you have yet to purchase the record, late November is your time to get with it. Scottish boys make great Christmas gifts.
*** Speaking of Jesus' birthday, one thing I'll never understand about our older sibling across the pond, is their love of Christmas Singles. Every holiday season is filled with news about records we American's could care less about.
*** Yesterday wasn't such a bad day for new records. The release of full-lengths from The Futureheads, Death From Above 1979, Razorlight and The Soledad Brothers were overshadowed by the reissue of Pavement's classic Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain.
