Wow. Concert TV looks good. I thought there was something else already like it, though, no? Yes? Too bad I have a cable provider that barely provides me static.
Wow, check out what the Arcade Fire tix are going for on eBay already…can’t say for sure whether that’s a real bid, but now I’m super pissed I didn’t get tickets.

Awesome stuff, as usual.
busy week, for the beginning of a new year.
you’re bored?
we should work an exchange program bewteen our jobs, here.
I’ve already hear some real humdinger statements, today.
Top guitar tones is getting close to the most ridiculous music list I’ve ever seen. How do you qualify this stuff?
Fine, fine crop of leftovers… Senator Reid, who knew? Think he hit Vegoose?
It never ceases to amaze me how the Smashing Pumpkins end up being named on a lot of blogs/message boards that normally have good taste in music.
I guess I just don’t see the Smashing Pumpkins as anything other than the next flavor of the month band the kids and MTV take a liking to.
Horrible live, too. Can anyone explain?
I was a junior in high school when Siamese Dream came out, and fourteen years later I still think it’s an amazing album. Say what you will about the Pumpkins but “flavor of the month?” The band’s early albums have staying power, but I must agree that their live shows have left me a bit cold.
Cherub Rock was the first song I ever learned on bass, so perhaps that is why they will always hold a place in my heart.
