Hors d’Oeuvres: That Giant Little Upset
The New York Football Giants shocked the world by pulling off an incredible victory over the heavily favored Patriots in what was one helluva game — it was actually kinda hard to sleep last night in New York City thanks to the roar of the fans celebrating in the streets. Guess you can’t win ‘em, all Boston fans. We rank Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers’ rapid fire parade of hits atop the non-football highlights, followed by the Prince Caspian commercial and the talking Tide stain.
Let’s see what’s cookin’ as we pretend we don’t have the world’s worst hangover:
- Four More Albums: U2 avoids free agency by resigning with Universal
- Lefsetz isn’t down with the Vampire Weekend hype machine
- NMAS’ Luther Dickinson sure knows how to make a room shake
- Ted Rockwell shares his thoughts on a recent Mars Volta show in Boulder
- moe.’s Rob Derhak speaks to the Boston Herald about Sticks and Stones
- The Duo wouldn’t sound like The Duo without Dirty Jerz
- As always Neddy delivers a list of the NYC shows of the week
Finally, Filter Magazine sent Pat McGuire on the road with Band of Horses to document one of their recent tours of the West Coast. The road journal McGuire came back with features many interesting anecdotes and factoids from the road.
vampire weekend, pfffft.
Can the Duo really be referred to as an “ex-jam-band”? Can’t say I’m all too pleased with the headline editor’s work there.
There’s no pretending going on here. The hangover is out of this world.
Lefsetz is really doin his best Andy Rooney these days…that guy has taken to complaining more than my grandmother at an Early Bird Special.
maybe so Riise, but he’s right on this and a lot of his Rooneyisms… no that his whiney schtick is anything new either!
He’s got a lot of good points in there though… just cause stereogum and brooklynvegan have touted a band who formed last week as the great new thing we all need to pay attention to, doesnt make it so.
Oh, I agree with him on most of it…just sayin’.
have you seen andy rooney recently? he looks like death warmed over… and his rants dont make any sense anymore… theyre like stream-of-consciousness ravings of an octagenarian Raoul Duke!
