  and away we go
I heard Clap Your Hands Say Yeah on THE RADIO today. Pretty exciting. I remember the time when I used to hear a new song on KROQ, get my tape player ready and wait for hours for it to come on again. Now, I read about a great new grime riddim, then download somebody else's pirate radio rip. Has it come to this?

Ruff Sqawd ft. Wiley- Together


I thought Cam'ron had the Police sample game sewn up, but I was wrong.
Top Ten Bands on the Facebook:
(Stolen Fancy Web Stats)

1. DMB 2. Coldplay 3. Jack Johnson 4. The Beatles 5. Green Day 6. The Killers7. Led Zeppelin 8. Incubus 9. Sublime 10. John Mayer

What does this say about the facebook? It's mostly white, young, and it enjoys very popular music. It would be easy to make fun of this list of competent, white, middle class musicians, just as it might be easy to make fun of the kids who listen to them. Easy, but a waste of everyone's time. Snobbery has got to be one of the lowest forms of criticism. I mean, Number Four is like All-Time Number One, and Dookie has a special place in your heart, right?

This post got kinda scrambled. Here's a great piece on popism, rockism, and indie identity. Here's that Clap Your Hands Sing Along, and here's somebody that doesn't like the best song on their album.
 
Comments:
Ahem, "Clap Your Hands!" is not the best song on that album. Not even close. The best song is either "Is This Love?", "In this Home on Ice," or "Upon this Tidal Wave of Young Blood."
 
i don't really think it's the best song on the album. but i do like it, even though some people hate it. how are you, dude?
 
Oh, you know, staying alive, making mixes, bussing tables--the uzh.
