Bottled In Cork. The Video.
Ted Leo’s new Tom Scharpling directed video for “Bottled In Cork” (which just happens to be my favorite track from Brutalist Bricks) is fucking amazing. Paul F. Tompkins. The lovely Julie Klausner. John Hodgman. How can a music video ever be better than this? Seriously. HOW?!

Black Is A Stallion: Last Night I Kind of Lost My... →
It’s the late show on a Saturday night in Columbus, Ohio. I’m halfway through my set and I mention Barack Obama. Some scattered boos. Which is normal. Somebody always hates the president, no matter who that president might be. In this case, the president is Obama and I am a fan, so I always ask…

Weezer Pinkerton Tour?

alex chilton tribute. city winery. 7/28/10
It’s still a bit odd to say…. Alex Chilton is gone. He passed away on 3/17. Sure, SXSW and Memphis (along with the other shows in other cities) got their tributes to Alex, but since Alex did spend quite a bit of time in New York City throughout the course of his career, it was only fitting that we have a tribute for him as well. “Channeling Chilton” was held at City...
