The best of the best of 2003!

HAPPY FREAKIN' HOLIDAYS!
It's Turkey Time... I shall return, uh, whenever I feel like it...

Yeah, so I've been on hiatus... And I'm thoroughly enjoying it so screw you if you don't approve!
I'm settling into the holiday groove quite nicely. I've been reading, knitting and being as un-hip as possible. I'm proud of myself that I am done my holoday shopping with 24 hours to spare! And I even managed to treat myself to a few hundred dollars worth of merch in the process. Santa knows I deserve it... Anyway, here's some stuff that's gone down...

Yay! "Mad World" is the UK's Christmas #1!!!

I would do anything and everything to see Justin from The Darkness address Britain (and rival Her Majesty) on TV this Christmas Day!

Jet are trying to start a fight with The Strokes... And speaking of those handsome devils...

Derek Zoolander's Favorite Holiday Movies!

"Above all, music blogs are free from the business plans and targeted readerships that determine the content of commercial publications. It may be, as one blogger recently admitted, a 'hermetically sealed and potentially borderline-autistic pursuit', but this unregulated zone contains fantastic, stimulating and piercingly acute writing. Savour the moment before its protagonists have to find proper jobs."
