This week blog-overloard Gawker media (I took that "overloard" term right from the mouths of every blogger on the payroll there) launched their new music site Idolator.
At first I was jealous (yes, I want that job).
Then I was cold (I don't need to read that site for info).
But then I was curious, and I read, and guess what? It's pretty effing good.
Some of the posts stretch a bit for the snarkiness but I generally think that the writing is funny and the commentary is worth a look.
My favorite weekly feature is "Pick of the Fork" in which readers guess which outrageous over-stylized sentence is used to review some album on Pitchfork that week. Truly ingenius - seriously those folks need to take it down a notch and actually enjoy music once in a while.

Music in NYC (and beyond...)
I created this blog to keep my friends and fam - who mostly don't have time or care enough to troll for information all day long, like me - updated on some fun new bands, and especially tour dates.

Panic was good. I would probably rate it middle of pack of the 29 shows I have seen fun-wise, but I thought Jimmy Herring fit into the band really well musically.
And it was just to see those guys out there. I hadn't seen them in over three years.
Thanks for the words on The Who you left me...
