Other random crap:
- Apparently the Blur reunion is off. From Blur's official site: "In light of recent press speculation, blur.co.uk would like to confirm that Alex, Damon, Dave and Graham met for an enjoyable lunch on Monday, but there are currently no other music plans for Blur."

- The Cleveland Plain Dealer asked fans to redesign the Indians uniforms, though it seems only 8 year olds got the memo. This, at the very least, bodes well for the future of journalism. We’re told no one under 45 even reads the newspaper. (Speaking of the Tribe, this ALCS is going back to Boston. Bet on it.)

- Who knew, Vol. 67: Did you know that Gremlins 2: The New Batch received three fucking stars? This was a three-star film in late’80s America.
- Ominous messages floating around about a possible return of Boston post-punk band Read Yellow. It seems this is no reunion, just the long-awaited news that their final album will finally get proper distribution. We’ll see.
- Can someone confirm that Spoon’s new single "The Underdog" sounds a lot like an old Billy Joel song?
it totally sounds like Billy Joel. When I heard it on SNL I was surprised that they were doing a cover....OOOF
ReplyDeleteIt's some weird fucking hybrid of Only the Good Die Young and that "say good to Hollywood" jam. Or something else, I dunno. You can't sneak a Billy Joel ripoff by this Long Islander.
ReplyDeleteMichael on the radio! Is TV next please?
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me that I compared a Brett Rosenberg song to Billy Joel in a review ages ago, thinking he'd be deathly offended... and I found out he liked Billy Joel.
