*** Well, it’s finally over, and I missed it. Thanks to the friends who held tickets for me. I’m sorry this didn’t work out. Hopefully they’ll spend this money quickly so another tour will happen soon.
*** I just cried. Then I did a happy dance. Then I gave out a much needed Culkin.
*** In the wake of this tragedy, I now deem 186 the new Love Shack.
*** The year end lists are beginning to pour in. Yesterday Pitchfork gave us their Top 50 Reissues of 2004 and today they present the Top 50 Singles. I was psyched to see The Go Team! awarded such high placement, and the deserving Walkmen and LCD Soundsystem also registered high on the list. As for the reissues, the Rhino Box sets would have been my number one. How did the Clash even make that list? The extra discs in that set were rubbish.
*** A review of The Kills last Bowery performance finally reveals what types of kids hang out at the club. I want to say something snappy, but I enjoyed this one.
*** Can someone please explain this idea? Now in the midsummer months, hordes of indie kids will flock to... Cleveland?
*** Despite all the talk at their second Bowery gig about taking some much needed time off, Broken Social Scene entertains the idea of a trip to the Far East.
*** Speaking of Canadians, Exclaim! passes on what they think is the best of the best in 2004. Check out the top three entries in the “Punk” category. Now take a deep breath and remember how great 8th grade used to be.
*** One x-Libertine is starting riots. If only Pete could lay off the junk for a moment, he might make some decent press. Instead, people he doesn’t even know are suffering the consequences of his drug addiction.
*** In the winner for “Who gives a shit break up of the year” goes to…. Its about time you jackasses stopped inciting meathead mosh pits.
*** The Lists just keep pouring in. There is a really cool interactive graphic on this page so check it out. Also note the lack of Arcade Fire on their Top 10 records. That’s brave; especially when The Streets are number 2. Then all of a sudden, Rolling Stone drops this bomb and makes me realize our culture is comprised of various marginally talented young folks.
*** Popmatters takes a moment to explain why we do it. It is a sickness.
*** And Finally... Just when you thought we were getting hit with a serious winter blast; it snows like crazy in West Virginia.
