Brendan Benson review + Crooked Fingers interview

Here and here, respectively. More when I'm not so tired, though I will admit that, having finally listened to the Bloc Party CD, it is indeed awesome.

Gawker likes me!

As an update: that column about iPods has now been linked to by the seriousely awesome gossip/media coverage site gawker.com. This is Friday, but I'll update the link for permanence later. My life is so complete now.

Edit: This is a permanent link. Hear that? That's me being part of "Culture: Nightlife." Right on.

clem snide et al.

Here's a surprisingly decent capsule on Clem Snide's latest, End Of Love. And bonus: here's a column I wrote (a recurring feature which the oh-so-clever editorial types have named "The V-Spot") about iPods (thanks for that Andrew Sullivan article btw Theo). And that's all. I'm in a hurry.
