Just so there’s something else on the internet today besides photos of a bloated pop star’s wormhole:

Does anyone know anything about the Oasis movie being shown at the Magic Stick last night? I know you hate Oasis, but I’d still like to know. Besides some half-assed e-mail I received late in the day, where was that information?

I changed the color of my site to honor Black Friday and Michael Richards, but mostly because I’m bored out of my mind. Send help.

I’ve also added four discs to the “Must Steal” list for the year. Two killer EPs — Fifth Period Fever and the new Pas/Cal, along with the new Shins and The Kooks. If you haven’t already heard, The Kooks are the new Libertines Razorlight Babyshambles Arctic Monkeys Dirty Pretty Things. A fun game we like to play is to load all those albums in an mp3 player and press “shuffle,” then try to guess who it is. Loser takes a shot of whiskey.

You get your Black Keys tickets yet? The Black Keys are a must-see live act so if you haven’t seen them before, you should make their December 12 show at the Majestic Theatre a priority. otherwise, you’re dead to me. Here’s their latest video, “Your Touch.”

Really, the only sale you need to know about: The Transporter: Special Delivery Edition DVD, $4.99

So many possibilities tonight. Where are you drinking?

Just a snippet of The Hold Steady’s Tour Report: “… god damn Detroit Tigers - however didn’t put a damper on our best Detroit show ever - what did put a damper on it was me jumping down the stairs after the show and breaking my ankle and pulling three ligaments - stayed in the weirdest hotel (Drake and Franz got to their room and the furniture was missing and there were no sheets on the bed)… “

If there’s anyone who can make Christmas shittier than it already is, it’s Sufjan Stevens and his 5 CD collection of Christmas songs. His body of work is like one big practical joke on the listener. If someone can tell me what kind of drugs I’m supposed to be on while listening to Sufjan, I’d appreciate it. I’m dying to figure out why everyone else wants to blow him.
UPDATE: I guess November 21 was bash Sufjan day on teh intertubes. Someone from Illinois doesn’t get him either. (linked from Theft Liable To Prosecution)

My new favorite thing is when a MySpace account gets hacked and I get bulletins that say “OMG! I can’t believe this girl shows her BOOBS on MySpace WTF?!” from my mom. Of course when I click link and find out it is my mom on the webcam…well, that’s not so cool.

I’m dangerously bored people. Send me entertainment that does not involve celebrity gossip or overhyped bands.

I know I should ignore this Bank of America nonsense, but it still cracks me up.
David Cross and Johnny Marr open a Modest Mouse gig in New York with their version.
I understand if you don’t want to watch.

This should erase all memory of the “MBNA is B of A” line from the awesome, awesome example in the post below of what middle-aged men in suits with clenched assholes find inspiring. I work with these kinds of people. And cry myself to sleep most nights.

This should make up for it: LadyFuzz, “Kerfuffle”.

UPDATE: And hopefully this makes up for my being sooooo behind on the InterTubes because, as one e-mailer wrote, ”that Bank of America thing is almost as old as the Star Wars kid.” If Ladyfuzz has already been all over Pitchfork or Stereogum or whatever other pretentious indie-scum sites you visit, please let me know and I will retire.
