and the geek shall inherit the earth
15 January 2009The third wimpy kid book came out this week. Listen, these are awesome, but you already knew that. It was in Sunday’s Style section, for sobbing out loud. I love these books. It’s almost impossible not to. I live for the day when idioms like “the cheese touch” will permeate adult conversation. Then I’ll know [...]
OMG
6 January 2009Titus Andronicus in the AV Club! AHHH! The disc is the sound of lusty youth ripping a gaping hole in the fabric of reality: Throughout The Airing’s nine sawed-off anthems, the Jersey collective comes off like a clunky, blood-knuckled Arcade Fire that just doesn’t have time for all that respectable crap. Because, you know, the [...]
Rereleasing 1/20/09
5 January 2009The New Jersey band doesn’t disappoint on its recently remastered and re-released debut. Mixing dead-room atmospheres and cutting guitar tones that suggest a love of Steve Albini and Mark E. Smith with a voice ripped almost directly out of Bright Eyes’ back catalog and a hidden love for meat-and-potatoes rock riffs, The Airing of Grievances [...]
Call the waaaaaambulance
16 December 2008Here’s a list of things that have made me cry in the last 36 hours: 1. That effing debeers commercial with old people holding hands. Old people holding hands just KILLS me. On Valentine’s Day this year, the google image was old people holding hands and I had to stop googling things until the 15th [...]
“This next song is eight minutes long, if you were thinking about having a smoke, now would be a good time.”
4 December 2008Review of PJ’s LA show. Older Brother Bud is beyond pumped for his shout out, so read closely! Also, the Pitchfork Readers Poll is up. If you’re anything like me, then you’ve been waiting for a chance to vote for Titus Andronicus and Beyonce in one survey, so get to it. ETA: Aww, the XL [...]
Once bitten…
13 November 2008So, so many awesome things happened on monday night that I am only just now finding out about. For one: I couldn’t go to PJ’s show, and I assumed when I saw the next morning that he had called me after midnight just to say how much he loved me and that he wished I [...]
More on PJ’s record deal
3 November 2008I love this page because of the pictures cycling across the top. It’s PJ’s job to be in pictures like these now. I am jealous. The Ted Leo leg of their tour was sadly canceled (I am the most sad of all, as I had almost convinced Peej to ask Ted Leo if he would [...]

New Favorite
4 August 2008Review of Little Brother Peej’s show in Seattle: In frequent chats with the audience, the vocalist captured a wide appeal, expressing his love for Nirvana(but not Bleach) and marveling at the proximity of the venue to the Space Needle(as a disarming tourist). I should mention here he scored early points with me for keeping the [...]
