Okay. I’m gonna start by saying this: I know this post will produce a flood of hate-mail and negative comments because I didn’t get such-and-such facts precisely right, or I didn’t focus on person-X-whose-your-favorite-Clanner. Lemme say up front, I know I don’t know much, and I will not be posting every Wu-Tang Clan song ever [...]

A short set from 4/5/07. I’m a recent convert to this bands skills. See my review of their album here. Well Thought Out Twinkles Rusted Wheel Creation Lake Future Foe Scenarios Kissing Families Lazy Eye

House Democrats on the Ways and Means Committee are drafting legislation to exempt families making less than $250,000 a year from the Alternative Minimum Tax, decrease the AMT’s hit on families making $250,000 to $500 Gs, and dramatically increase the burden on families with annual incomes of over $500,000 a year.

1. You Know That I’m No Good (Amy Winehouse cover)-The Arctic Monkeys. Frankly, I don’t think reasons 2 through 9 come close to this one, but I’ll keep going anyway. 2. Carmen “super hot chick” Electra is now doing Naked Women’s Wrestling. This can’t be for real, can it? 3. Yeah Yeah Yeahs-Live in Mexico. [...]
