last night’s brooklyn vs. baltimore battle of the bands was deplorable. it was 3 dollars and we still left feeling like we got ripped off. maybe it was our fault for going at 10 and expecting that they would have gotten through ANY of the bands. but we really wanted to see these are powers so we sat through four crappy bands in a huge not even remotely renovated warehouse space that had a)...

Gaslight are officially playing Coachella '09
What say all of my fellow Gaslight Anthem fans? Are we really going to let the hipsters take these guys from us? For shame!

This is so dumb. Not okay to clone your favorite dog’s DNA so you can make a puppy version of him to replace the void.

caro: Thanks to you, I chose to paint my walls lime green at the age of 21 because apparently it’s a good color to make a small room look bigger.  They are still lime green.  I hope you’re happy. Hey let’s talk about that time I almost tried to get a job there, like 3 weeks ago. That would have ended well.

North Carolina: My aunts did a good deed for Obama →
This is a link to some blog post about canvassing in NC last fall for Obama. In the pictures, you see the Cornelius, NC Obama headquarters, which my four business-partner aunts graciously offered to Obama’s campaign after their troubles with their first (crazy) landlord. My aunts own a day spa with a second building in the back, which up until serving as an Obama HQ, served as secondary...

omfg whitehouse.gov
So, whitehouse.gov is the best spot on the web. I just learned that on all non-emergency legislation, the administration will post the legislation for about 5 days for a public commenting period. There’s also a blog and factoids about First Ladies. For example, did you know Hillary Clinton has a Grammy? I didn’t. Check that shit out.

Why, Matt Skiba? Why? →
APnetters aren’t the only ones pondering Matt Skiba’s decision to collab with Jeffree Starr. I’m not going to pick fights or anything, but Starr is everything I dislike about current music and furthermore, his attitude and penchant for drama (he called out the boys in Alesana on their supposed “homophobia” earlier this summer… they aren’t, they’re...

one of my neighbors has started a band
The only way we’ve managed to describe them to other people is that they combine parts of some of the more “epic”, youthful tracks in American music history - let’s say, for our purposes, part of Rage’s “Killing In The Name”, Bush’s “Glycerine”, Nirvana’s “Heart-Shaped Box”, 311’s “Beautiful Disaster”,...

Disasters and Twitter
Editor: Any Twitters from people who were in that plane?
Caroline: Have not seen any, just the guy on one of the rescue ferries who posted that TwitPic.
Editor: What's he saying?
Caroline: Pretty sure he's rescuing people, not Twittering.
Editor: Funny, these days people usually Twitter first.

Has your towel ever fallen off while walking down your dorm hall? Well it could considering that your hands will be full holding your shower supplies and dirty clothes. Shower Shorts is the ideal after shower option.

dear idiots next door.
Hey guys. Wanted to let you know that parties are cool, we definitely don’t mind you having fun. What we do mind is coming home from vacation to find a broken vase strewn all about our floor’s hallway and almost ripping Christmas present new boots. Not to mention that if a piece had sliced anybody’s foot open, we’d have to have a serious talk about medical bills. CLEAN UP...
