Closing up shop

Blogging bores me. I'm running off and joining the circus. Ciao.

What Would Beetlejuice Do?

Somedays you just need to put yourself in the shoes of Tim Burton's pseudopsychotic, near-omnipotent bio-exorcist and say "How would Beetlejuice (Betelgeuse...whatever) handle this?" Never underestimate the power to turn yourself into a giant snake and put people into polyester leisure suits at will. It can be a great thing.

You can always tell what's on the pay channels when I'm blogging and have nothing better to talk about.

Scooped by Stereogum

I just had to go and rant about the Usher-Nazis at the ballgame. I had to defer what I was initially going to post about for a day. And Stereogum had to go and post about it today and make me look like a second-rate poser plagiarist. I'm not saying that I'm not, but there's still no need to draw even more attention to it.

Anyways, I was going to talk about how I had downloaded a great mp3 from a band called Cold War Kids. I was going to talk about how Hospital Beds is such a ridiculously good song that I'm considering ordering the EPs that this band is selling themselves. I was going to say all that stuff, but now that they are officially a Stereogum "Band To Watch", there's no need. Anyone who cares already knows.

I take little comfort in the fact that he probably discovered them at Gorilla vs. Bear just like I did. Very little comfort.
