Lots happened over the weekend, but keeping in line with RTP’s historic eye toward environmental awareness, I’ve condensed three bits of news into one post, saving at least a few eTrees.

Saturday night Quirken, Rev Dave and I all saw St. Vincent at Schuba’s. Rev was at the early show and Quirken and I were […]

And I think it should be Vince Gill:

Seriously, though, Kanye West might be the perfect embodiment of everything that is wrong with the world today. His display during last night’s Grammys made me fucking sick. Someone seriously needs to smack those retarded white sunglasses off his big cocky head and convince him that god doesn’t […]

Interesting idea, and something perhaps worth following, at least until it gets dumb. Not sure […]

Dear Loney, Dear,
How did you manage to avoid me throughout the entirety of 2007? After all, your latest offering, Loney, Noir, was released way back in February.
It’s not like you’re on some crappy label, or what would be even more understandable, no label at all. Did I have Sub Pop-flavored blinders on all year? Was […]
