Amy Winehouse mumbling and stumbling through “Back to Black” at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Look at what Quirken found. Kinda cool…

That’s the opportunity you’ve been presented with on this glorious Friday morning via the 2007 Pitchfork Media Reader Survey.

Benom: Frazer and I were lucky enough to see Morrissey perform at the Star Plaza Theater in Indiana on Saturday, and all I can say is that it was worth every second spent in the car driving to and from Chicago to Merrillville. Luckily, Frazer lives out there so we had a nice comfortable locale […]

“Harmonium,” the first track from RTP favorite Rogue Wave’s third major release, Asleep at Heaven’s Gate, is featured in the following commercial for Payless ShoeSource, the latest company to offer what I’m sure will become the coolest new trend in wrist decoration since the infamous Lance Armstrong bracelet movement of 2005.
