Tonight!
Nethers @ Black Cat tonight. I'll be there with camera locked and loaded but I doubt I'll get any good pics in the Backstage.
Nethers play the Knitting Factory in NYC tomorrow with The Like, so if you're in the Big Apple, be sure to check them out.
A whole bunch of new Yeah Yeah Yeah MP3's.
It appears the Pistons are about to cut bait on Darko and ship him to the Magic with Carlos Arroyo for Kelvin Cato and a first round draft pick (lotto protection TBD). At what point does Teflon Joe Dumars start ctaching heat for his lousy draft record? Mateen Cleaves and Rodney White say hi. Check out these quotes about Darko [via Deadspin] some of which are pure gold, but sadly doesn't include Rasheed's "Darko is straight up gangsta" quote. But still fun to read.

Also, I like the Vlad Rad for Chris Wilcox deal. For the Clippers. They need outside shooting in the worst way.
Love it, this too. Respect. Also: Related.
One extra day for Lollapalooza.
Robot funerals and spitting pennies. Best.
Uh-oh! Look out Mr. Pink. Related: Mr. Pink went to the vet on Monday and he has gained five pounds in 7 months! Yikes! Guess who is now on a diet? I also bought a lazer pointer for hours of kitty fun disguised as exercise.
Joe D will start catching heat for his draft picks when his teams start losing.
Obvs.
Here's what we hope for -
30 games this season like last night, where Paul Pierce shows why he's a top 10 NBA player (seriously, how often do you see a player of his caliber putting up numbers and caring as much as he does when the team he's on is so bad? If I see him compared to Baron or VC again I'll gag), and they lose in really entertaining fashion and lock up a good lottery spot.
