Thanks to my latest source for online music (I can't reveal my source, but here's a hint: He's gorgeous. Just ask him.), I have a ton of new music that I'm going through right now: Ted Leo, Humble Rodent, Kings Of Leon, Travis, Maximo Park, etc. I'll have some short record reviews in the next day or two. Yes, you read that correctly, actual content! Combine that with tonight's Mew show and shows this weekend by the Silversun Pickups and The Changes, and I might be able to sneak some music content onto this here blog. Developing...

Until then I want to direct you to two sites that I have been reading quite regularly for the last week or so. The first is Recordreviews.org, straight outta Tha D, written by the incomparable Gorilla with lots of help from Damizz, Peabs and Nummer. If you have some money burning a hole in your pocket and you want to know what's worth buying, these guys will lead you in the right direction. I loved Damore's recent Idlewild review and I'm not just blowing smoke when I say that Nummer's Brief History of Badly Drawn Boy in Detroit is one of the finest blog posts I've read in a while. And Gorilla runs down the big releases for you every week as only he can. I say Buzz.

Also back online is Kegzies, formerly of the dearly departed Glamorama, now of Sendmedeadflowers.com. An anglophile after my own heart (and much more informed than yours truly) Kegzies was singing Mew's praises a good two years before anyone else had even heard of them. Peep his interview with the original Libertines drummer and sample some of the great MP3's he's throwing your way (even if he is totally copying me by posting "Gravity Grave").

Seriously though, it's great to have these guys back online and writing again. It's like 2003 all over again. We'll be doing Friday Afternoon Topics again before you know it.
