– Admit it: The end of Tower Records is making you feel sad. And also really, really old. – We don’t care if you believe in Santa, as long as you believe in Kirsty MacColl. – Our new Speaker Of The House has good buzz. – Not to harp on our own gag, but we really hope you enjoyed hearing from Joanna Newsom’s lil’ buddy. – If people keep throwing out old-school mix tapes as good as this one, we may start digging through our neighbors’ trash again. – Pitchfork’s strong opinions piss you guys off in multiple ways. – Guitar Hero is going to be the biggest thing to happen to the music biz–until somebody figures out how to download it for free. – The Stereogum kids love their sweet-faced indie-rockers and their street-based coke rappers. – You know what? It would be funnier if they were saying “cock in a box”! – The U2-loving yuppies want to run everything–including our comments section.
