My girlfriend is here so I’m largely off-machine, but here’s a few things I thought I’d hip you to while she receives telephone bday wishes:
LISA LISA AND CULT LOEB – Why Bad Men Love Good Loeb – Vice Magazine
Lisa Loeb vs. Lisa Suckdog?!? The stuff of legend.
Dusted Reviews: Mission of Burma – The Sound The Speed The Light
This band is so much better than my band.
Pitchfork: Billy Corgan’s Latest Round of WTF: Doll Wrestling!
Obviously this guy is a fucking disaster, but just as obviously, I don’t seem to be able to avert my gaze. Unlike M. Jackson, I don’t think he’s a danger to anybody else — but, golly, the wrestling fixation….and the dolls? There’s some actual, sad “lost childhood” shit here, for everybody to see.
The Dull Sound Of Sharp Math: Frank Sinatra- In The Wee Small Hours
This is my fave record review in a while, from a very good blog of otherwise rather out shit. You’d do a lot worse than to check out this album, get past your associations of Sinatra with assholes in hats, and commune with its one-of-a-kind moodiness.
