Shit

Forgive The (re-)Post

Good stuff. A little Zevon in there somewhere, I think; maybe a little Interpol. Makes me want to go for a drive.

Moody Wednesday

Bastards, may I present The xx, a group of British 20 year olds. This song, "Crystalised," is the first single off their recent (August) debut album, which I predict I will be purchasing this evening.

Read reviews here, or visit the bands official site.

Too Cool For Words

I saw this commercial last night and rewound it about fifteen times. Anybody gonna get Beatles Rockband?

There's a really fascinating article in this month's Wired Magazine, a kind of behind-the-scenes, making-of piece. As you might expect, it's a minor miracle the game happened at all. Lots of legal and technical wrangling.

You can read the entire article here. I'm going to watch this clip again ...

The Sounds

Thanks to Andrew for reminding me of this awesome Swedish pop/new wave/rock and roll band. The album 'Living in America' is now Featured Too Prominently. The outstanding tracks on this one from 2003 are 'Dance With Me' (perfect loud guitars, catchy melody, gay keyboards) and the title track. Enjoy!

OMG!

Let's see how long the sobriety thing lasts now...

Mandy Moore is engaged to rocker Ryan Adams, her rep confirms to Usmagazine.com. Moore was spotted wearing a ring while grocery shopping with Adams in L.A. today.

See stars' hot engagement rings!

I guess that explains this.
