- I'm already on the record as saying how much I love a good music documentary. Big Fun in the Big Town goes back to 1986's "up and coming" hip-hop movement in NYC. It features a young Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash, Ice-T, Biz Markie, LL Cool J ...the list goes on, the documentary looks great, and guerolitomusic just reminded me that the word "fresh" needs to make a comeback.
- Six months after a cautiously positive review, and just one month after naming it the #2 best album of last year, Stereogum has a nice long article complaining about Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. Not that I care either way, but pick a side. Then just wait for the next single to come out to milk the album for pageviews, like the rest of us.
- Wondering what "progressive shoegaze" is? Hyperbole will demonstrate with Melbourne band Leagues and a sweet picture of Wonderwoman.
- What's Protocol has The Swell Season, The Frames, and City & Colour. Saves me three posts right there.
- So the creator of the musical abomination that is Glee got pissy with Kings of Leon and Slash because they won't let the show use their music. gleesucks.com is the only necessary rebuttal to that bitchery (Spinner)
I'd planned to give the Coachella lineup and then write a little something to go with it. Suffice to say, it would have been both hilarious and thought-provoking.
But then things in this city got a bit ugly today, and I really could not be bothered. Sorry guys.
Instead, I'm just going to post it:
Lots of amazing stuff, but no big surprises. I'm sure a lot of people were hoping for the Bowie rumour to be true.
Also unfortunate: you'll see that contrary to rumours, It's Always Sunny in Philidelphia is NOT going to be doing a live show. And that's all the excuse I need to post the following video. I know I could do with a laugh.
Enjoy:
