Weekly Review
Thank god, finally, we can hear the Grateful Dead spliced and diced, backed by spastic jungle-cum-calypso beats. We never thought we’d see the day. Nor did we ever think we’d see a Manhattan prep-school girl make Top 40 history. But sometimes seeing (Paul McCartney playing on top of the Ed Sullivan Theater, Ne Yo sobbing on stage), or reading (Spencer Pratt’s offensive interview with SPIN), or eBay surfing (for posters of Stone Roses singer Ian Brown), or streaming (Modest Mouse’s new honky-tonk inspired single), is believing.

Speaking of streaming…we are out at Pitchfork’s annual music festival in Union Park and did you know that you can, yup, stream it, live? Catch today’s, the last day’s, acts right here, right now! We’re off to go check out the rest of the bands in the flesh (teeheehee, muhaha), but we’ll be happy to share with you are thoughts and reactions once we return to our fair city.
