The New York Times had good timing... Crappy "Punk" Bands

I failed. I am only 60% hipster [link from Jo]

Yesterday, the world was against me... I KNOW that Interpol is one of my favorite bands, and I KNOW i missed them four times... stop reminding me...
really freaking "deck" Interpol site redesign
and huge (taking up my whole first period) Pitchfork feature with pics from the Metro show

and when I heard that Phil Spector was accused of murder, I seriously thought they were referring to how he "murdered" Let It Be

is there something wrong with me for liking that All-American Rejects "Swing Swing" song so very very much? terrible band name, terrible lyrics... but so freaking catchy! and what about that Busta Rhymes clap song? there are videos for the regular one AND the remix. i pump it whenever i hear it ("we make ya clap" clap clap clap clap clap clap clap). it's just so cool that they wrote not one, but TWO songs about that handclap sound
