"What the fuck is the Cheese Trio?!"
(overheard during the Campbell's editorial meeting)

This tidbit is rivaled only by: "Eggplant is neither here no there!"
(also overheard during the Campbell's editorial meeting)

Today's recommended listening:

• Catpower - You Are Free
  Good stuff, that. My only complaint is that the songs are too short. She's all yanking on the heart strings and when you're getting all worked up and just about to dig into it with her, she stops the song abruptly. Such a tease, that Chan Marshall.

• Nada Surf - Let Go
  I know, I know. Everyone remembers the stupid "Popular" song. The new Nada Surf album, however, stands number one in my current rotation. I'll warn you -- it's easily digestable. No Beano® required. Goes down sweet like honey, easy as a sugar pill. Though I hate making those "Band X meets Band Y" comparisons lazy, unoriginal journalists rely on, this album is kind of "Travis meets Coldplay." The big single will probably end up in Gap ads and Dawnson's Creek episodes, but I dig it.

Today's extracurricular activities:
Blonde Redhead and the French Kicks at Paradise. Hopefully I will post a review of the show. Hopefully it will involve a Greek twin sandwich backstage.

Today's celebration:
I have submitted my formal resignation at work. Woo fuckin hoo! Please welcome me into the nurturing arms of corporate America's unemployed.

Ramen noodles forever.
