Soon (Feb. 4th, actually) I start running a contest for every date of the Dr. Manhattan and Foxy Shazam tour. Just wanted to give you guys a heads up.
Also, I posted a review today for Your Best Friend. I wasn’t CRAZY about their self-titled debut, but they are a solid throwback to what I used to love about bands like Thursday, and so, I enjoyed it for what it is. Seems like some of their...
Well, the bad news is that I just spilled coffee on my laptop and I’m praying that it’ll dry out and still work, but the good news? I got a watermark for new Manchester Orchestra today.

Projects for the next week:
1. Further investigate digital SLR prices. Find a good one and buy? Craigslist, baby.

One of coolest things about working here is that sometimes, the good opportunities knock on your own door. A few weeks ago, Fueled By Ramen asked if we wanted to do a tell-all sit down interview with Cute Is What We Aim For at Take Action. Jamie Pham and I are handling this bad boy in February, and I think it’s gonna be a good one.
Also, the Unsigned Band Sponsorship Hook-Up is still on. In...

Easily one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. Don’t even waste your time. It was so bad, I didn’t even want to keep my 3D glasses. Not that the two can even compare, but Andrew Bird’s new album, Noble Beast, is kilometers more worthwhile. I even gave it a 84 percent.
Thank you and goodnight.

I got a watermark for Trouble Andrew’s upcoming self-titled a few days ago, and its been partly enjoyable. The lyrics are laughable, but I’m relishing in his subtle rap and these new wave…

I’ve talked about Bon Iver before, but I think it’s time to beat a dead horse. The Blood Bank EP, which will be out on Jan. 20th, is one of my favorite EPs of 2009, so far. I know, I know, it’s way…
