There has been some discussion lately about the
name of this blog (mostly how stupid it is), some of it revolving around which beast would win in a no-holds barred fight. The name of this blog was inspired by one of my friends' obsession w/ this hypothetical match-up. Anyway, a
gorilla would obviously win, so we can pretty much squash all that. If you disagree, and would like to leave a comment, go ahead, but you'd be wrong. I mean look at that thing.
update: you make the call

i don't think so, mikeMoving on,There's quite a bit of good shit floating around what the
nerds call the "blogosphere", and since some of you may be to busy to go find it all yourself, i thought i'd hook you up w/ some of the
highlights of the past few days:Mike over at
Take Your Medicine has changed up his format a bit, giving it a slightly more personal touch. Don't worry though, he still hooks us up daily w/ hot shit, including recent offerings from bands like
The Cribs and
Wolf Parade.
Can't get enough
Sufjan Stevens? Well then head over to
Each Note Secure, where you'll find yet another track from his upcoming "Illinois" ("Man of Metropolis"). Also,
Copy, Right? has Sufjan's cover of R.E.M.'s "The One I Love".
Womenfolk is a really cool, appropriately titled blog that focuses mainly on women in folk music. Highly recommended are the 4 tracks you'll find there from
New Buffalo, an Australian who, according to Womenfolk, "creates some of the most beautifully odd music to come out of the 'land down under.'"
Rachael over at
Underrated has been on fire lately, giving us tracks from a diverse selection of artists such as Babyshambles, Brendan Benson, Tegan & Sara, and like, way more. Also be sure to check out
her magazine, the new issue of which will be out soon.
I've recently discovered
Ending East, and it is good. I suggest you go there and download tracks from
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah,
Benzos, and other similar bands that are so cool you haven't even heard of them yet.
Of course, it goes w/ out saying
these places should be visited daily.
and since this is (sometimes) an mp3 blog too, here are some mp3s that you can't find anywhere else (besides the places i stole them from):Benzos "
It's Amiable"
Pete Doherty "Lady Don't Fall Backwards" (acoustic)
