Nick Carter: Proto Speed Racer!

I just discovered Nick Carter put out an album called "Before the Backstreet Boys," a collection of songs he must've recorded at a shopping mall karaoke booth when he was a much younger lad, and the album "art" reminded me of (...let's be real, almost everything reminds me of) Speed Racer.

Seriously listen to the Amazon preview of Uptown Girl and tell me Nick Carter is not a genius.

Late Update: Thank you, Sunday reader of my blog.



Late Late Update: I think it's fair to assume Nick Carter reads my blog.

WEEK! OF! JIM! [Vanquishing Dragons]

As many of you know, my best bud Jim is getting married this weekend! He's the greatest dude ever, and Caroline is the most wonderful bride in the galaxy, so I will try to post some celebratory nostalgia of the man, the myth, the legend, the space-Jesus, the unicorn-hunter, the lord of midnite, Jim Fenner.

For anyone that wants to witness how Jim won Caroline's heart:

Seriously, I think if there ever was a global cue that we should all destroy our TVs, how did we miss this one?

Meet Spencer

"Spencer" decided to track MediaMatters.org and get a cool nifty YouTube hit that would force the organization to collapse, like that kid did to ACORN. Unfortunately, Spencer's not that bright.

Love that blazer, kid. Also, I sorta want to play you in poker.

What I Offer

I just checked my google analytics, and my Arcade Fire post has been a hit! It's now my number 2 top post of the past few months. My number 1?

Late Update: Yes, I'm wearing sunglasses at night. It's a long story.

Pitchfork Transcription Review 9.7

In a conversation with Win Butler (Arcade Fire)...

Pitchfork: That's funny because when you guys first started doing shows for this tour, a lot of people were talking about your hair as well-- on the internet, at least. [laughs]

Where else will you read an interview transcription where the "journalist" transcribes laughing at his own remarks? [giggles]

Snark/Hate Fire (An Apology)

I wrote a post the other day on the Arcade Fire that just was a little too snarky for my tastes, so I want to retract it. From now on, less snark-hate fires and more shark-aid buyers.
