Thanks to everyone that came out to the DCist Happy Hour last night. We drank, heard some great tunes, chatted, watched UNC lose to UVA and had alot of fun. Cue Bar is a great space. Spacious, well lit, great beer selection and a huge DJ booth. V. nice. I took a bunch of pictures but haven't had the chance to upload them yet. Tonight if I have time. I'm also very happy to report that I have no blogging related drinking planned for tonight.

Unfortunately Seeking Irony was too sick to DJ last night, so I called in DCeiver for back up and he did just fine, especially given the short notice he had. Get better Natalya! I played a song by The Caesars in your honor.

NME's preview of Ringleader of the Tormentors.

*Sigh* So true. Depressingly so, in fact. I listened to the new Richard Ashcroft record over at NME.com and it's shockingly bad. Terrifingly so. It makes me sad. Music needs Captain ROCK, not this poofy twitter. Bring back Mad Richard!

Nooooooooooooooooo! *sniff*

Nice try. [via LHB]

Also via LHB, a cool site for concert posters.

OMG! This is the best thing ever! So good it made me type 'OMG'.

Nice.

Finally!!

Busted! Sue the fuck out of them. [via five five zero zero, who did ANOTHER redesign]

I'm back, bitches!

Mark Blount is still a Celtic, although now the big rumour is BLount + Ricky Davis + Marcus Banks for Olowakandi + Wally Swerviak. Wally's contract is huge, but he and Raef expire at the same time so that would be $26 million of the Boston cap in 2009. I'm not a huge fan of Ricky and it's not my money, so I say get 'er done. The downside of this, should it happen, is I'll have to learn how to spell Wally's last name. Right, like I'm one to talk.

Go Panthers!
