Beating a White Horse

***UPDATE***
Upon finishing the article, it's actually an interesting read. Check it out here ...

In the new Rolling Stone cover story, the White Stripes are featured.

Congrats go out to David Fricke for making it through three entire paragraphs before busting out the siblings-or-spouses card.

Fuck me in the ass.

UPDATE: I just finished an article on Quinn Allman from The Used. You can check that bad boy out here.

Also, Forrest is coming down this weekend for a Slackstring show at Blind Melons in PB.

AND, I Just picked up (presale) tickets for Interpol. Rock!

Corgan is Gone

Corgan, my beagle-terrier mix, was put down yesterday afternoon. A victim of cancer, he was only seven years old.

I picked him up from the Steuben County Humane Society when he was just five months old. By no coincidence, a lot of things came together for me shortly thereafter. I won't go into sappy details, but I will say this: Having new responsibilities in the form of feeding and walking a dog can certainly cut into a 19-year-old’s "party time."

I have undergone a world of emotions in the last 24 hours. I'll never know why any god would subject any creature to such an ugly, untimely death. I'm comforted, however, that Corgan is no longer in pain.

So long, pup... 5/1998 - 8/2005.

cute song

Currently listening to Death Cab For Cutie's Soul Meets Body on repeat.

Longhorn no longer a longshot.

Microsoft just released details on Windows Vista.

Up until recently, this project was known to nerds (like yours truly) simply as, "Longhorn."

He's unemployed, Bitch!

Dave Chappelle's highly-successful (and often quoted) Chappelle's Show will not return to Comedy Central's airwaves this fall.

That's according to actor Charlie Murphy (aka Darkness!), who writes and acts for the sketch-comedy show.

To quote The Smiths, "Money changes everything."

[insert Black Eyed Pee joke here]

I'm not sure if this "news" is making itself known on a national level, but it's creating quite a buzz locally among morning radio shows and the like.

On Friday (7/29/2005), the Black Eyed Peas were to perform a set at 8:30 PM as part of San Diego's Street Scene festival. They arrived more than 45 minutes late, thus shortening the White Stripes' set later in the night. It is for that reason, and that reason alone, that I feel obligated to notify the masses of the following.

While the BEP were performing, I couldn't keep my eyes off of Fergie's nether region. Not because of her delightful curves, but because it seemed as if she had pissed herself. Worse yet, nobody nearby seemed to notice, much less care.

"She probably spilled something."

"Maybe she's sweating." (gross)

People kept making excuses for her at the time. Thankfully, come Monday morning, 91x's "Brand-X" morning radio show devoted a good deal of time to this topic. They even posted an up-close-and-personal pic on their website. Take a look and... talk amongst yourselves.

Weekend Recap

Street Scene fell upon us this passing weekend. Check out photos here. I still have a handful more to add.

The festival also brought an interview my way in the form of The Used guitarist Quinn Allman. I'm hoping to have that transcribed, edited, and posted by the end of the week.

Also, I'm not a fan of green catsup.
