This past summer I giddily read that Panic! at the Disco was no more. Of course the writer’s at Drowned in Sound were just playing with my mind and the band had merely gotten rid of the exclamation point and had not, as I thought, disbanded. Little less than six months later here I am, [...]
There is currently something of a soul revival occurring in the UK right now. Granted this statement is based on data from the imperfect British singles/album chart(s) and only based on this weeks charts.

There’s this neat little thing you can do in Microsoft word that’s called “autosummarize.” This nifty little gadget will take the seven-page research paper you’ve written on the Kinks and summarize the thing to your specifications. For instance you can ask the auto summarizer to summarize said paper to less than 500 words and it [...]

I would like to, very calmly, report that ONCE won an Oscar award last night for Best Song. It beat out three songs from Enchanted and one song from August Rush. Congratulations to Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova for their amazing work and this absolutely brilliant win. I think this makes up for the loss [...]
