Weekly Review
What are you doing on your computer on a day like today? Unless you’ve already got yourself in refresh-position to purchase these tickets, in front of the glowing screen is not where you should be. No, you should be out under the glowing sun, running around town in your new kicks (for the Chuck Taylor fans, for those who prefer Vans), listening to the Top 10, mapping out the record stores you’re going to hit up the Saturday after next or scouting out a park to name. But as long as you are here, I’m glad you’re spending your time constructively, brushing up on last week’s news, rather than procrastinating, watching some silly 90s-era music video. Though, wait a minute, that was part of last week’s news. Alright, I guess it’s okay then. Procrastinate away:
