March 30th, 2009

MUSIC

Kanye + Jonze + Wayne = Expectations.

Okkervil River helps kids. Damn my city kicks ass. Speaking of, Pitchfork has reservations about their new B-Side but I think it kicks a lot of ass. They do give Wave Machines deserved love.

Asher Roth seems like a really chill dude.

Over on DiS, Lipster continues to dissappoint me entirely. Sure, they give Dent May some deserved credit (the critical bashing he's received baffles me) but they go all lukewarm on Fever Ray and then play some bullshit this-high-art-is-below-us facetious smirk on Antony, which yeah, that's an easy way to draw my ire. They seem desperate to be elitist, and it's not an appealing pose.

Fader brings us a huge treat courtesy Sin Fang Bous. For the record, Fader, I still make mix cds.

FILM

Early buzz is, Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox is rad.

OMG Scott Pilgrim pictures!

Simon Pegg discusses the final installment in his Blood and Ice Cream trilogy. (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End)

WEIRD

The Cool Kids are the world's only cool kids, or at least, are trying to prove the aforementioned assertion in a court of law.

Courtney Love sucks.

The excessive fan-worshipping of the Joker has officially gone way too far.

WORLD

Via Reuters, Spain may open a probe on the policies of six Bush administration officials, specifically pertaining to Guantanamo Bay.

PERSONAL

The busy days just keep on comin'.

2009 FILMS SEEN: 15
2009 SONGS ON MY ITUNES: 601
Current Computer Situation: MacBook Pro, bouncing.

  1. OK, so I've decided just now that Pitchfork is only good for music NEWS, not reviews. I'm premature in this, because I'm guessing you'll comment on this in today's entry, but their 5.5 rating of PB&J's "Living Thing" is undeserved; I think it really means they just don't get it. Anyway, I'm upset about it. Obviously:-P
