Vote COSMIC THING! Unless you have high hopes for Neneh Cherry beating De La Soul, this is the last chance to send any more women to the Elite 8 to join Kim Deal. (And I'm not just pointing that out because I picked the B-52's in my bracket, I also much prefer their album here.)

Trump doesn't seem to see that some people are still immune to his threats. Jack White criticized Trump's Oval Office decor. The White House then called White a "washed-up, has-been loser... masquerading as a real artist." And White, undeterred, posted an absolutely blistering takedown in response.

Sometimes you go to a bar w/ a friend hoping to just sit & chat over a couple beers, but you get there & there's a band unexpectedly setting up, & you think, 'I didn't really want to see a band, but maybe they'll be good,' & then 2 songs later, you say to your friend, 'Let's go to a different bar.'

This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.

Good year for movies. CACHE, OLDBOY, and GRIZZLY MAN are not just my favorites of the year, they're among my favorites of the century so far. (Not sure why CURSE OF THE WERE-RABBIT gets called out as mediocre in the intro, though. It's great!)

It's punk-inflected rock with dueling male/female vocals, singing about the power of rock n roll. I've said that the Kiss Offs could've been as big as the Strokes if they'd been from NYC instead of Austin, but the writer of this review that I came across recently makes an even loftier comparison:

Pretty sure BEET is my most-listened-to album since I first heard it in February. A couple songs sound like X, the drumming frequently reminds me of the Feelies, and the whole album has kind of a Gun Club vibe. So if that's your thing, vote for BEET! And if it's not your thing, it should be!
