Congrats to the Yankees for sweeping the Red Sox and boo on the Mets for getting swept by the Phillies. Heyyo Claynice, what’d I tell you when the Yanks were 14.5 games back? They are never out of it. Kinda like how the Mets are never a sure bet. Hotlanta, here we come.

Yankee fans, this is your day of glory, enjoy it, savor it, revel in it.

The Killers to release B-Sides Album

The KillersMany critics were disappointed with Sam’s Town, the sophomore album from The Killers. To follow up, they are going to release an album of B-sides and remixes in November. There will be a couple of new tracks on it, along with a duet with Lou Reed.

Although I didn’t enjoy Sam’s Town as much as I did Hot Fuss, it had more of a lasting appeal than I thought it would. I find myself looking for a few tracks from Sam’s Town on my Zen and when I do hear them, I am reminded that the album has plenty of brightsides – critically acclaimed or not. I’ll be looking forward to the B-Sides.

Shocking: Amy Winehouse Cancels all US Shows

Amy WInehouse

Considering her battle with drugs, alcohol and fame, I’m utterly shocked that Amy Winehouse has canceled all of her remaining US appearances. That includes the MTV VMA’s in September. This comes after her father in-law urged her fans to boycott her music and asked MTV to not give her a VMA until she admitted herself into rehab. I don’t even feel sorry for her, but I do think her story might be a great movie one day.

got no regard for the thing that you don’t understand,
you got no fear of the underdog,
that’s why you will not survive!

Spoon’s autobiographic tale of how the (major label) record company dismissed them as small potatoes. (continue reading…)
