For the Actor, seriously
Anyone see the newest AT&T commercial featuring a hot indie band? It’s not up on YouTube yet, but I’ll update this post as soon as it is. There’s something ironic about a song called ‘For the Actor’ being featured in an actor-free commercial, especially as the TV commercial landscape becomes increasingly void of human actors […]
Smashing Pumpkins, Jumping Sharks
Things I like about the new Smashing Pumpkins: the bassist.
Things I don’t like: Everything else. I don’t even care if they make the best album of the 90s this year, they’re coming off as pretty lame. The space-themed white robes? Jeez Billy, you looked enough like an alien before, but at least […]

Then we found out it was sung by the Presidents of the United States of America, and so we stopped liking it (seriously, buy a guitar with […]
“This Just In!” Except the Opposite
A bunch of us saw the Chicago Theater catch on (Arcade) Fire, what was it, about a month ago? Hopefully in the future these posts will come in a bit more timely manner.
Anyway, it was good. Quirken, Frazer, the good Dr. and I were at the Saturday show. They played nearly all of Neon Bible […]
Micro Review: Albert Hammond, Jr.
It’s like getting to hear a new Strokes record, except better. That’s right, better.
After listening to the record about five times so far, “In Transit,” track #2, is probably the stand out. Tracks 4 and 6 are also really good. In fact, every even number track rocks. And also the odd ones.
