T minus one day and we’re totally buying into the 09.09.09 hype. Amazon is packing up our mono box as we speak (and hopefully yours, t00), so let’s kill some time by checking out Chuck Klosterman’s take on both the remasters and the Beatles’ legacy in general. It’s pretty damn good and he doesn’t talk [...]

September 8, 2009I’ve Got Nothing To Say But It’s OK
September 1, 2009Some quickies while we come up with something worthy of our usual high standards and impeccable taste… Here’s Adolph Hitler’s reaction to the Oasis split: Here’s the Beatles: Rock Band commercial, featuring some freaky reanimated Lennon action and a bunch of a-holes: Here’s a story about how the police are reexamining the suspicious circumstances surrounding [...]
