timbaland's 'shock value' is out! will people care a lot? or just a little?

bright eyes' 'cassadaga'! he's playing 7 nights at town hall. 7 NIGHTS! and yet i know so many people who hate him!

dude. DUDE.

i am the last one on cam's new 'suga dooga', but better late than never! a jam is a jam is a jam!

devin the dude's 'waitin to inhale'. my devin game is nopt that tight but i know a good record when i hear one. or a bad one.

death to all false nba poems!

so here he is. every season there's a player that comes up big for the final stretch of the [fantasy] season. last year it was raymond felton. the year before it was your boy joel pryzbilla. this year? tarance kinsey! as soon as miller went down kinsey has been logging 30+ minutes per! 20-12-24-20 have been his point totals for the last 4. sure he doesn't bound or assist much but i mean, tarance kinsey!?

and linus kleiza!? ako he's your boy!

lamarcus is still doing his thing. kinda.

uh oh! big ben wallace wearing starbury's! i love it! no steph cracks... here you know i think he's rad.

that's all i have to report right now

prodigy from mobb deep's got a new record out. oh man it fucking funny!

i know posting youtube links is lazy, but this stuff is fucking rad!

this is such old news. but it's still blowing my mind. full battles LP review comin up!

another addition to the "text message review" files. this one came in at 8:22pm last night! keep em coming bro's!

the new dinosaur jr record has been leaked! lou barlow seems like an insufferable dick, but at least mascis is back at it.

ladyhawk at cakeshop! i was too tired to see any of the other bands. the hawk got on so late! but it was worth it!

"i want my bibby back ribs" and/or "that's not a chicken that's a duck!"

is there not an uglier game in the game than mike bibby's? i mean, he walks like a duck and has the worst tats in the league [jason williams' 'upright mouse-man' is probably worse]. that said, i love his stat lines. this year has been tough, but it's nice when you shut yourself in during a beautiful spring day to see dude drain 9 threes. my fantasy team 'Bad Miller' thanks ye.

the knicks! the poor poor knicks! they look terrible again! steve francis officially has the most inappropriate nickname ever!

the suns look good. take down duncan! i hate bruce bowen!

ok real talk. kobe bryant is better than jordan. i said it, son! i mean, jordan has more rings, but 3 vs 6 isn't a big difference to me. i mean, 3 rings is 3 rings! i just watch kobe throw up these shots and play the d he does and i can't help but think he could take jordan in his prime.

sure jordan has intangibles but kobes has that to spare. dudes like lamar odom look to kobe in crunch time in that 'steve kerr' kind of way. and those crazy buzzer beaters! when kobe is 'on' it looks like the game is in slo-mo and he's moving at regular speed.

the question is: would kobe's game have developed like it did without jordan as a model?

i still hate kobe as a dude though, but i hated jordan as a dude as well.

why can't they be more like steve nash and less like assholes?

after 'get cape wear cape fly' i scooted over to webster to see explosions in the sky. i left to go record shopping. i got a tiger trap 12"!

the highlight of the show was meeting boykins reader dan! dan i'm sorry about this review!

the professor took me to see "get cape, wear cape, fly". i went on the strength of the name. into it. is british emo any good?

come see ladyhawk at cakeshop with me tonight!

they're playing tonight at probably the best venue you could possibly see them at! ok maybe not 'see' them, but see bro's freaking out. they need stadium seating at this place.

the band is great. it's my entertainment recommendation for your evening!

fuckit it's spring!

shreddie found these broadrick interviews on youtube! now we know it's pronounced 'jay-zu'. seriously these are great interviews....

new jesu! they mentioned napalm death in the new yorker this week! justin broadrick is in our collective douche-y consciouses

NBA poetry entry. "every day is like sunday"

lamarcus! his last week has been insane! check out his last three games: 24/17/4 blocks. 14/10/3 blocks. 16/10 3 blocks. he reminds me of camby! gobbling all that weak side shit up! i ain't mad atcha!

all the rooks look good. tryus is showing flashes, bargnani will be in the playoffs. rudy gay is getting better, roy is doing his thing. and balkman had the garden on its feet today!

why is corey maggette not playing more? ditto morris peterson. i just don't get it. oh wait is maggette playing more these days?

ok why wouldn't a team take greg oden first overall? durant is siiick but oden is a beast. would you trade paul pierce for yao? hells yes! how about vince carter for shaq? in 2007? i'd take shaq! that's how i see oden vs durant.

pelican "shitty of echoes". i'm a fan of instrumental music. i'm also a pelican fan. the new one has been leaked!

text message reviews! i'm burried under sleet over here! but we have our boykins editors 'at large' ann and jason in LA and SXSW covering for us!

the new modest mouse has been leaked!

UH OH!

don't look now but that was probably the best knicks game of the season! stevie blunder misses the game-tying free throw, and then the franchise makes an appearance to win the game on a 'prayer' three! BOOM! even clyde was shocked!

now the knicks are ahead of the nets for the last spot in the east. crazy. the pacers are slumping too. c'mon dudes get in there! i want that 1st round sweep. i know it's coming. i want it anyway!

how quickly did the jazz rebuild? i mean, that team is scarily deep when they're healthy. ak-47 role player? gordon giricek and harpring off the bench? that's an instant 20 combined per night! mormons are still really weird though.

artest. what a mess.

the kings. what a mess!

how sick does al jefferson look? he's gonna be a fantasy 3rd rounder next year. dwight howard who? deron's going in the 2nd round too.

josh smith and gerald wallace blowing up in the 2nd half again.

what the fuck is up with the sixers? sammy d is finally putting it together. you can't help but argue that an AI, who scores in bunches and has on-court personality to spare, is no more valuable than boring, steady andre miller. if you gave me the option as a GM, based off salary and fan popularity, i think i'd lean towards dre.

he also looks like a ferret

just some jams you should hear no big deal.

here's the short video for 'bro's' [featuring scott mou]. babyleg says i'm obsessed. i say i just know good music when i hear it.

the thermals played bowery on sunday. i lost my voice. big sleep opened. they were terrible. sarah said it was like watching a bad band practicing.

saturday bright eyes at bowery. god i can't stand m ward. he sucks!

there's a version of the new explosions in the sky record that comes with a bonus remix album. done by some heavy hitters!

let's see... we got jesu, adem, the paper chase[?], mountains[?], four tet, and eluvium.

i have post-trading-deadline trauma

how boring was that trading deadline? is it because of the soft salary cap? i have no idea. i was surprised not to see pau gasol, mike bibby, and vince carter come to the knicks though. what? channing frye and a 2008 draft pick isn't good enough?

at least crash is laughing. and he should be! dude is a beast! for some reason i always have the 'cats on my radar. i keep track of felton's splits and carroll's 3pt%, but ask me about the trailblazers. they have a team in portalnd!? og right. sabonis is sick.

who has a better moustache? adam morrison or gerald wallace?

ako! i know i was all huffy about AI and the nuggs. the sweet sweet nuggs, but he hasn't played enough to support my argument. the AI trade had all the markings of a james dolan deal. the only difference is that the nuggs don't run the highest paid team in the NBA out there!

the poor knicks. what a broken down bus. every position has issues. at least the bulls won't get oden with our pick.

diiirk!

the rooks like promising all across the board. roy, though super boring, looks fine. rudy gay slowed down a bit. bargnani looks sick. who's the GM in toronto right now? is that checketts? fucking dude. if it is, he knows what he's doing!

i think the proverbial 'BALLIN' serpent has eaten its tail

if you were in my studio right now you can see me singing along with akon. such a fan!

this was a video of the new bone thugs and harmony song featuring akon. it's great. i mean, totally epic. youtube deleted it.

tonight me and the professor took a trip to long island to see my chemical romance. the merch was terrible. was the show?

they played as the black parade band and played 'the black parade' from start to finish. dude came out in a hospital bed. strait biting conor oberst! the played the set and then went, 'my chemical romance is next... if you like that kind of shit!' wacka wacka wacka.

MCR 'proper' came out and SHREDDED that broken down arena! the bassist fell over a fan [not a person, a real fan], and gerard tried to get all ian mackaye with the pit. we were like, 'whoa'.

dr dog 'we all belong' review! this band is almost my favorite. [full disclosure]. they're playing bowery. i imagine there will be much hi-fiveage

this comes out on tuesday, but can you get it on itunes now? i dunno. i think so... also, they're playing conan o'brian on March 12!

youtube explosions in the sky on youtube! before it gets taken off!

the new album is good. not as epic as the last one, but what could be? who wants to go see them at webster with me?

new ted leo LP! i think i was 16 when i first heard chisel, so needless to say this dude is heavy to me.

trade him!

so wade is out 6 weeks. this is the same injury shreddie jones had a few years ago where he dislocated his shoulder and had to have surgery. let's hope d wade is destined a quick recovery. i don't hate the dude. sure, he's boring, and plays 'the right way' [ugh], but at least he means it.

i bet kidd stays put/ how the fuck do the fakers expect to get him without trading one of their top 3 players? ok take smush and...

carter to the knicks? gross. isiah hold tight! throw your phone into a river!

fred jones for dixon? zzzz

i'll update again after the trade deadline tom-foolery passes....

gang gang dance played at studio b sat. it was super crowded. and expensive!

barr at the kitchen last night. it was only their 2nd show as a band. i still loved it. some didn't. i dunno... it reminds of of the 90's so much!

they're going on tour for a month. go see them!

timmy hardaway: "please don't forget me"

what does he have against rudy anyway? ok fine he's a rookie. he's inconsistent. he couldn't bring a championship to uconn. that's all fine. stop the insanity!

tim's always been an attention hog anyway. and slightly dim. that's ok. he just said what a lot of players actually think. i bet 90% of the nba are saying the same thing to eachother. 'ARE YOU GAY? CAUSE I'M NOT! NO WAY. AT. ALL.'

poor rudy!

ok ok. everyone knew who amaechi was when he was playing anyway. what's the big deal? will belle and sebastian write a song about it now? that would be sweet.

big baby on LSU seems like he's about to come out of the closet too. will that stop teams from drafting him? doubt it!

this shit is boring. at least the mike piazza 'i'm not gay' new conference was funny.

bill callahan dropped the 'smog' name for his new one. haggerty produced it, so you got the huge trux sound in here. to me BC can do no wrong...

i just really like this band still. arcade fire covering the clash acoustic in westminster!

http://www.neonbible.com/yope.html

babyshambles have a new EP out. how is this junkie more prolific than so many non-junkies i know?

i couldn't help myself with this one. forgot BARR. full dog review soon. the moral of the story is: the panda bear LP is fucking major!

ok so neon bible has been leaked. i still care a lot about the arcade fire. but is the album disappointing?

vbs.tv is up! there's some amazing stuff on there. the virgins come across like dicks. whose fault is it? them? vice? that band is dropped as of '09

not that i care that much, but as interesting as the babyshambles 'practice space' was [kinda rad!], the virgins was an affirmation of all the things we thought in the first place. like them being a trophy band. they have a jam, but why would you let yourself brag about agnes b? i blame the starstruck interviewer. or the editor. if i was in the virgins i'd be all 'what the fuck! we speak like assholes! where's the other footage?'

wow cam is putting his dudes to work on this! but does anyone really care [except us?]? cam get to the studio! more jams! [thx dan for another scoop!]

to jay's credit, we all knew he was referencing out b.i.g. [and other rappers] on most of those verses. wayne does the same thing. but cam is never not funny! keep trying i guess!

you hit a bunch of home runs... and you on steroids!

ok i know it's not for everyone, but the new BARR is totally shredding my head. you have to love anyone who goes for it like this!

moma for cat power! it was super fun hanging out with bro's, but it was kinda crowded to see the music. we were standing next to cy twombly's!!!

what the fuck

how the fuck did mr longoria make the all-star team!? i mean, he's a nice player, but leaving off melo and josh howard?! ray motherfucking allen!? before you claim the 'but he's a point guard and they have enough 2-guards' argument, parker is averaging 5.5 dimes [along with 19 points and 3 rebs].

ray allen is averaging 4 assists [and 27/4]

melo is also at 4 assists [and 31/6!]

howard is lagging at 2 assists [and 19/7]

so i'm just saying, parker is a good PG [and a 'true' PG], but nash can come in for kobe [who can run the point fine]. allen iverson can shift over to the 1 as well. who needs a PG in an all-star game anyway? have KG run the 'point'. i want entertainment! not 10 foot jumpers! [maybe they want his wifey to get crazy face-time]

as a fan, it's a crime that melo and ray ray aren't there. parker is fine and all, but seriously.

wow. WOW. thanks to dan at temporary residence for this scoop! it's a youtube miracle!

i spy a darko!

don't look now! there's been a darko sighting. could we see 8/8 with 2 blocks per down the stretch? if he starts playing and the magic make a couple of minor tweaks, they could be a decent team.

speaking of which, it's good we didn't crown dwight howard as the next kareem. his free throw % and turnovers prevents him from becoming a superstar. for now.

is it clear now that the sunsa are nash and marion's team? sure amare could take over on any given night, but marion is the key big man there. he does all the dirty work! so does amare, but seriously.

jamsion out 2-8, and possibly longer. boozer out 5-6. damn. i wonder what all the mormons will think of milsap.

the knicks looks very mediocre again. god that team is just made of spazzes. at every position! ok maybe not lee, but it's a fire drill out there!

crash blew up last night! 42/8 3 threes, 3 swats and a steal!

josh hoawrd missed 2 games to be with his wife during the birth of their child. is it me, or do these guys get paid WAAAY too much to leave any game for any reason other than injury? i mean, people miss the births of their kids all the time. and nba players like howard make upwards of 80,000 a night. um, tough titties dudes, play the game and cry on your pile of money.
