Scarlett Johansson has gotten very far in life with very little. How is her new album? You tell me cause...

I really love the new Death Cab For Cutie a lot. How does it compare to Bedhead's "Beheaded"?

I am mad at a million things in this world but this is definitely not one of them.

Some mix-tape art reviews. And let's make them look like they were designed by someone from London.

Ladyhawk played twice last week. We were there. We bought shot glasses and "Stoned Werewolf" shirts. Where were you?

Dr. Dog played the Mercury Lounge last Thursday. It was a short set. Was it sweet?

T.I.'s "No Matter What" second - by - second. Go DL the song after you paste the link. It's crazy!

There's no "D" in Antoni.

Well, at least dude's coached in an actual NBA game. And who says Mark Jackson would be a defensive-minded coach anyway? Dude never played a lick of D as a player why would he start getting into it now?

Honestly the whole D'Antoni vs. Action jackson debate is moot. It's not our 25 million so who cares? Let's just hope they don't make that obvious run an Agent Zero. Love Arenas as a player, but we're screwed if he comes to the Knicks. Though his blog would be fire. Please dudes, draft a point guard! Not talking CP4 or Deron... I'd settle for anyone not named "Franchise" or "Starbury".

The Village Voice outed High Places for playing iPods on stage and playing unmic'ed equipment on stage. How do I feel when people talk about it?

No Age played a Fader party and the bowery this week. My friends seem to love "Nouns." I like it a lot too! How were the shows?

Dirty Projectors, Dodos, Hot Chip, Douglas Armour, Foals, Destroyer, Black Dice, the Verve, and taxes. [paste the link]

I changed my mind! Destroyer's "Trouble In Dreams" redux!

Lil Wayne's "Da Drought is Over 5: Grand Closing"! Is it 4 too many? Paste the link!

http://nytimes.com/pages/arts/music/index.html

The Rachel's "First Things Last" on an NBA commercial! You're reading my mind Stern! What's up with the Rodan ATP in Louisville c'mon!

This is why I stay up til 1:30 am EST

My Morning Jacket's "Evil Urges" has jokes for days. On purpose?

The story of your post playing career life, dude!

What does Steph have on you, anyway? Strippers? We already had our fill of that with the Ewing fiasco. Adultury? If Kobe can get off, so can you. Racism? Who isn't a little racist? Betting on Kicks games? That would be a funny one! So you're "gone". I'm not happy or sad. Just stop coaching/drafting/scouting/advising. It's not like you just sat back and watched this team dissolve... you did your best. You're better off selling your popcorn. Everyone loves popcorn.


What is that they say about hindsight? When Zeke got Marbury, I was pumped. When the Franchise trade was announced I had hope. I thought Z-bo would at least get us an 8th seed in this pathetic Eastern Conference. Douches!


Let the "You're Better Than That" era begin! I welcome Action Jackson with an open mind! How can you get worse than this? My only regret is that we'll lose him as a color man on T.V. Nobody hire Jeff Van Gundy please he's the last funny broadcaster left!

The summer anthems are rolling in! No Age's "Nouns" has been leaked. Are the kids all right?

2 people sent this link to me in an hour. It's great!

Animal Collective's "Water Curses" video. Is that the Travelling Wilburys in there!?

Portishead's "Third" track-by-track. I broke out "Dummy" a few weeks ago but it's not the same anymore.

Last week I saw the Boredoms play Terminal 5 and Other Music. I liked one show better than the other. Paste the link!

http://nytimes.com/pages/arts/music/index.html

The Breeders' "Mountain Battles". I really liked their last one. Are they embarrassing moms, or ones that will let you smoke and stay out late?

Damien Hirst is rolling over in his grave!

"The Mister Lonely" soundtrack. Jason Pierce can do no wrong to me [the new album comes close though]. This movie is gonna make me feel very weird.

But then who will we make fun of?

Donnie Walsh coming to the Knicks? "EH!" And I hear he's keeping the Draft "genius" who picked Sweetney [scouting report: "Elton Brand but less athletic"... YOU THINK?] before the likes of Pietrus, Ridnour, David West, Barbosa, Josh Howard, and Mo Williams. Oh, and he took Lampe next. Wait, he was the GM then, right? Anyways, unless Walsh manages to get Dwight Howard and Andre Iguodala we're pretty much looking at an apple when we're already holding an orange.


Is it weird that the man who built the Pacers teams that killed us is now the Knicks president? Whatever, this season has numbed me so much that i wouldn't care if they brought in Alonzo Mourning as a Knicks City dancer. Remember when Starks went to Chicago in the 3-way deal that landed us Sprewell? And remember how he refused to play for the Bulls? That was funny!


If he manages to trade two or three of these guys for players who don't average as many turnovers as assists, I'd be pleased. Give me ANYTHING, dude. David Lee? Ok trade him. Get something back. Marbury? Let his contract expire. Isiah? Stop letting him remind the media that his Pistons team was known as the "Bad Boys" and the fact that he enjoys players that remind him of himself.

Dude Food loves the Fleet Foxes. Could I be wrong about them? Probably. He went to Worcester to see them last night. IM report!

Last week I saw The Crystal Castles and Health at Mercury Lounge. It felt like like 2001 at Club Luxx... in a good or bad way?

This is footage of Cutty Ranks when he opened for the Descendents in Danbury.

Tinchy Stryder's "Cloud 9" EP reviewed track by track. The Roll Deep LP was great! So was Wiley's last one. Does this EP hold up?

um

That fall looked pretty bad, dude. It's shocking how quickly teams and players go south in this league. Kidd was a triple double machine before getting traded!


If they get into the lottery it would be hilarious. A lottery pick, a trade or two, and this team could end up being good again next year. Moments like these make me think that the Knicks' situation really isn't all that [THAT] bad. I mean, they could turn it around in a season too, right? Right?


Not that Nash is faring any better. He is, but still. My favorite thing to say at a sports bar is: "But what has ______ won ever?" Is there a difference between being a Knicks fan and/or a Mavs fan as of today? The Suns? What have those teams ever won? Ok tons of exciting games while Marbury is crying at home thinking about dead babies, but humor me, please.


... and Donnie Walsh, huh? A 67 year old President of the New York Knicks. We'll see. Anything's better than Isiah for another year. The Knicks have killed basketball for me. You're dead to me, bitch.

I saw "American Hardcore" the other night. I missed the first few minutes and had dishes to do, but here it goes!

The Fleet Foxes' "Sun Giant" EP! The art reminds me of a siltbreeze record from the 90's. At least Fleetwood Mac comes right afterwards in my iTunes.

G-UNIT's "Elephant In The Sand" Mixtape review! They're trying to start shit again. Is it tired? Is it Hilarious?

The BLK JKS played an acoustic show at the New Museum on Thursday. I like them. I think. But I felt bad during this show.

March Sadness

All week on WFAN they are claiming Jerry West and Donnie Walsh are interested in being KNnicks GM or President of operations. But both dudes are pushing 70! I'm not age-ist but can't we get a Kiki? A Scott Skiles? Look at these clowns laughing all the way to the bank! I saw MTV "Cribs", Steph... you have a huge TV!

The team doesn't even have to "rebuild". Fuck "rebuilding" in the NBA you can turn a team around in a season. I'm not even looking for a championship, but you gotta think an expiring contract here or there [steph], a trade, a pick, and a free agent signing will win at least one playoff game? Look at the Celts! From worst to first. Maybe the Knicks can go from worst to not worst by the time next next season starts? I mean, right?

That Rockets Run was awesome. Now they're gonna eat shit. Look at Baron staring Skip To My Lou down! That's a scary beard, Skip! Watch Rafer become Rafer, Scola become Scola, and T-Mac to go down with a broken back. It was really fun while it lasted! I see a first round sweep in their future, but how can you ever be mad at this guy?





"It's called Pasta Pasta. It's named after Pasta!"



Honestly this guy is shocking! WTF he never looked this good at Wake! He's averaging 21 and 11 and 4! AVERAGING! With 177 steals this season! I think this post-season I'll turn into a de-facto Hornets fan. Why not? who wants to see a Pistons-Spurs Finals again? Celtics-Mavs? I'd take that! Just, please... no more Doug Collins waxing poetic about Tony Parker and Timmy Fundamentals! I'd rather hear JVG quoting Rasheed Wallace in regards to Tyson Chandler!

The Dodos' "Visiter"... it's a terrible band name but no one held that against Radiohead.

Right before SXSW I got to see Emmy the Great at Bowery Ballroom. She talked a lot onstage.

Spiritualized's "Soul and Fire" might be the single of the year if it wasn't for Usher's "In The Club." Check the link!

http://www.nytimes.com/pages/arts/music/index.html

times new viking sounds like the young pioneers to me. fuck buttons have the word 'fuck' in their name. they both jammed SXSW
