I may buy the We Are Scientists record based solely on this fucking hysterical article from their website, and this cover of one of their songs. (And I used to have "Selective Memory" on my iPod. It was pretty dope.)

My old good buddy Alex Pareene did a smart thing by dropping out of the NYU Dramatic Writing Department 'cause now he co-edits Wonkette. Awesome! This is a good job for him, given that the twin engines of his writing were always a deep knowledge of politics, and cuss words. My favorite thing he's done recently is The Year In Talky Shouty White Guy Rock. It is funny. It's also so hard to tell whether or not he likes these bands that maybe he oughta write for Pitchfork.
