where will you be when the ball drops tomorrow night? i'll be catching wacko jacko's babies!

by the way, the celebrity to endlessly make fun of in 2003 will be christina aguillera. i can't stand her or her anorexic dirrrty bum.

now here's a top cds of the year list that's a bit more my speed. i've actually got 4 out of the top 5 cds. it's nice to know i haven't lost touch completely. no, i haven't heard of a bunch of people on this list either.

check out billboard's top 100 cds of the year. holy crap, batman. i was just thinking how this year wasn't such a bad year for music; we had interpol, queens of the stone age, trail of dead, flaming lips, etc. then i look at this list and i'm like, oh my god, there's only 2 cds on this list that i own (u2 and mary j) and neither of them were released this year. not even coldplay is on this list!

village voice has a great article about the rapid fall of house music this year. gotta love the line where that one dude credits part of the fall "to the djs themselves, who as often as not provide dancers with nothing more than a beat that's absolutely perfect for nodding off." so true, so true.

you also gotta love the fact that shelter, the party that arc kicked out for its quickly dying progressive-house night (all reports say that the place is practically vacant except for fridays when danny spins) is getting all the hype, the press, and the word of mouth.

in new york, it is against the law to walk around on sundays with an ice cream cone in your pocket.

blabbermouth.net provides yet another hilarious tale of metal gone bad, this time with guitar wanker yngwie blahblahblah. the mp3 clip at the end of the article is to die for, just don't listen to it at work!

axl continues to amuse us all. the message board comments following the article are even funnier.

another reason to not move to california.

here's something to amuse the rochesterians and other new england/upstate new york inhabitants-the city is closing down due to less than an inch of snow. well, not really shutting down, but our office is closing at three today because people are flipping the fuck out. it's a ghost town outside. the usually hectic 14th street/6th avenue intersection that i dread crossing everyday to go to the gym was a winter wonderland. i'm currently doing the snow dance so that i don't have to go to class tonight :)

oh liam, you won't be able to hold a candle to blur if you ain't got no teeth.

a cartoon documenting the history of the smiths? now i've seen everything!
