Underworld's setlist at Virgin Fest. I still need to upload those photos.
The Baltimore Round Robin tour sounds like a very Baltimore thing to do. Especially because THEY ARE SKIPPING DC. Seriously, they should just make signs that say "F DC."
MOP + Sesame Street = awesome.
WOXY Lounge Act Recap - Thao w/ The Get Down Stay Down. Although teetering into very Ani DiFranco territory at times, she was pretty damn good at the Black Cat last week.
Sad news. Jerry Finn has passed away. That makes me incredibly sad.
Lastly, Happy Bday to Amanda, one day early.

I came in fifth in the DCist Bracket Challenge. Kansas is the first national champ I've picked correctly since 2001. And not to say "I told you so" but they totally won in spite of Bill Self. Box and One? Seriously?
Everyone's is missing thew big question about the 20th Anniversary Sub Pop show. Is the original Gates/Plouf lineup of The Spinanes going to reunite? And if so, will someone please bootleg that shit?
That might finally get me to play Guitar Hero.
The best thing I've heard all year? Ra Ra Riot's WOXY Lounge Acts session.
Speaking of, lookee there. Congrats, boys!
New mp3 from The Little Ones (who are, incidentally, touring with Ra Ra Riot).
Oh, almost forgot. i bought a new toy.
Also, Listen to MMJ at SXSW on NPR. OMG!
**UPDATE** - Holy Shit. "Thank You Too" is THE MOTHER EFFING JAM. I need an MP3 of this ASAP. It's at the 27:36 mark. Total 1970's FM rock power-ballad space-jam. Can't wait until June and Radio City!
I hope it's better than the decidedly meh R.E.M. show at Stubbs. The new stuff? Not so great.
I've also got to dig my way through Jens Lekman, The Whigs and a few others.
Here are some of the links that have been clogging up my inbox during my work-imposed blogging hiatus.

Local boys finally doing some good away from home. Can't recommend these guys enough, but you can see for yourself in March.
[mp3] Say Hi | Northwestern Girls
[mp3] Say Hi | Toil And Trouble

Played the Black Cat on Sunday.
A few non-Sean Taylor related links that I haven't had a chance to put up since I got back from Seattle:
Memo to Morrissey: This is why you have a manager. Normally I wouldn't give two shits about this whole thing, except I know the journalist in question. I met Tim Jonze quite randomly when I was living in New York, at at Teenage Fanclub gig at the Bowery Ballroom. We became friends and I gave him my extra ticket when a bunch of us went to see Radiohead at Liberty State Park.
File under OBVS! Archers of Loaf: Still Really Good
And while we're strolling memory lane, Let's Interview Dillon Fence! I went and saw Dillon Fence by myself (my friends at the time were lame) on my first night at college. It was awesome.
Stream Ghostface's Big Doe Rehab. First impression: Good, but not as good as Fishscale, which I still listen to at least once a week.
Saw M.I.A. at the 9:30 Club on Thursday. I have seen her three times this year and I have yet to stay past the fourth song of her set. Not because I don't like the show, quite the opposite. She just has a habit of going on very, very late. And lately I tend to have meetings at work very, very early every day. Also, she performs in the fucking dark, which aggravates me to no end.
Juan Sebastian Veron to D.C United? Seriously? Yes please.
Roger Ebert's best movies of 2006.
Dean & Britta are heading back out on the road.
15 Brilliantly Timed Sports Photos. They forgot this one.
PS - Mike D. Jr. is looking pretty good this year. Finally. And while we're at it, Carlos Boozer - the best power forward in the West? Can't be right, right? Duke players suck in the pros.
