One thing I learned in the last week. You cannot say "Radioclit" in the New York Times (paste the link)

This is what a typical work conversation looks like.

It's a little bit late but here's a general CMJ summary. The XX was a little worse than it reads in the chart.

!!!

Cass McCombs played on Monday. I was bummed I couldn't stay until the end. He's really sounding good these days.

This is like Warhol's "Empire" but different

Does anyone have this MP3?

Jesu "Opiate Sun" EP review revised. I changed my mind!

I've always liked Jesu but I wasn't really ready for this one!

Cold Cave is a band formed by the guy Pete Wentz stole some lines from. They sound like a dark band from Manchester. And the band formed after that.

I saw Surfer Blood 3 times last week. That was that. This is their LP review!

Lost at sea in CMJ... check the tweets? Or the Times CMJ blog.

!

This basically sounds just as good as it does on the EP!

Pantha Du Prince's upcoming press photo! Can anything be as good as "This Bliss"?

Saturday tunes still sound good

This is fully jumping the gun.

"The Last 10 Years of Music" today in the paper...

There's a pdf of it here

Raekwon's Only Built 4 Cuban Linx PT II! It took long enough...

The new Built To Spill LP leaked. "There Is No Enemy." I feel like I've spent half my life listening to this guy. (I have!)

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs played a show at the Music Hall the other night. I won't lie and tell you I didn't shed a tear during the "Maps" sing-along.

Of course I'm into it!

Off to France! See you in a week! Briggs get it together the bus leaves in 2 hours!

Well done.

This makes me happier on bummer days.

Today's IM discussion: "Put some sub woofers on this and you're good to go" "I know."

Whoops that last Julian Casablancas chart was messed up. I blame the jet lag! Here's a revised version...

Julian Casablancas played solo for the first time last week at the Liquid room. He was fucking terrible!

No brog posts for a little bit I'm going to Tokyo tomorrow to hang out with Strokes singers and fashion stoners. Be back later!

The title of Frightened Rabbit's album "The Midnight Organ Fight" is not funny then funny then not funny and then funny again. How're the jams?

New Gang Gang jam "Mind Killer" in London! Herbie Hancock vibes!

Tinchy Stryder's new album is finally out! "Catch 22"! I refrained from all the Gang Gang references. It was hard.

I kind of wish I made this album cover.

The new Destroyer EP! I was promised "techno". "Bay of Pigs"

RAdiohead released a new song called "These Are My Twisted Words". This is my wordy review.

Gone for a couple of weeks! Be back after lollapalooza... peep tweets for saucy tour photos

Spaced-out remixes of space-jams from the desks of Cha DJ's.

Omar-S played in Brooklyn today! It's been a long week slash what was my excuse for not going?

Modest Mouse put out a new e.p.! Do you care anymore? I still do!

Lebron didn't really get dunked as much as he was caught going through the motions!

But this next one's pretty good.

BUTTERYASS MONDAYS

Take care man

What's up Blackouts!

top 3 records of 2009! Revised! (paste the link)

Carmelo your girl is cool. (From the desk of the professor.)

.

Ron Artest's Michael Jackson tribute song... so sensitive! (except the part about the guns)

Time's up!

Happy birthday Ako and Atiba! No car bombs for Kobe he's had enough for one season!

City Center! I'm a sucker for bands that sound like this.

The band Girls played Cakeshop on Saturday. I like how confusing their name is.

And then Cymbals Eat Guitars played the next night!

Whoops! (This guy is hilarious) "I'll light your fucking ass up! (Can you get me apple pie, dear?)"

Dam Funk DJ'ed at APT a few weeks ago. Those Black Jacks guys are like the best dudes ever!

Zomby!

Why not?

MJ died. Who cares about the backlash to the backlash to the backlash to the backlash (to his death).

But I cannot be mad at anything named "Crabcore".

Go to 2:35.

"But, unlike all the other genres covered in this column, crabcore isn't defined by sonics or BPMs or lyrical content, or tied to a geographic location. Crabcore is defined by the body contortions of the band's guitarists when they perform."

Thanks for the "tip" Shreddie!

"Rubio to Gallinari! Gallinari shoots! Milicic grabs the rebound! And Howard steals it away!"

Jordan Hill is kinda rad. Maybe 9 pts and 9 rebs eventaully? 1.5 blocks? I'll take that in a second (f u channing frye)



But I hear they're gonna package Hill and Lee or Nate for Rubio! I'l take that in a second. What? This guy looks like a young Luke Ridnour! Ummm... at least these three will be funny? Hope you're still working out Latrell, cause we might need you...

What recession? Eddy Curry's twitter page! He can't seem to find Wilson Chandler but JR Smith is not a problem!

Ako you should totally get some cash out of this.

See you at the show tomorrow

Nate found this. It is almost my favorite thing I've seen in 12 months.

I Will Always Love You (Edit) from Ray Fenwick on Vimeo.

This looks a lot different than how the song sounds!

Stop smiling Dwight Howard. You're softer than Pau Gasol. Look into your future... the muscles can't shoot free throws or close out games worth shit!

Cam'ron's "Crime Pays"! I know it took a while but there were a lot of Animal Collective shows to lurk at. Paste the link!
