Finally.

After three months and a couple of false starts, my big project at work is finally alive and online. I got home from work last night at 2:37 this morning, after one final furious push to fix as much stuff as we could.

I think the final product looks pretty good. But I'll tell you the same thing I told everyone at work. You're not allowed to send me emails about links that don't work or other errors on the site until Monday.

It feels great to finally get this over with. I am overjoyed to get my social life back, although I think I'll end up taking it easy this weekend. I have the DCist Exposed opening tonight and the Idiotarod on Saturday, but other than that, I'm looking at some serious couch time in my near future.

On Monday, it's back to the grind. I'll also have a big blog announcement coming very soon.

Sigh.

I'll stop now.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Meanwhile in Durham...

Virgin Festival rumors...Personally I would be suprised if Foo Fighters and Stone Temple Pilots aren't there.

Here are the last bands added to the All Points West Festival. Still rather meh in my opinion. Also, it looks like those APW will be Radiohead's only NYC area appearances.

The Charlatans have released their new record as a free download.

Art Brut: the best unsigned band in Britain?

26 tempting but inappropriate funeral songs.

It’s almost unbearable how perfect Elastica could be.

I had a fun weekend, more on that tomorrow. This should, fingers crossed, be my last week in work purgatory. Hopefully things will get back to normal next Monday.

At work but still sick. Hence my brevity.

Things I'm loving right about now

• Leap Day!


• Tissues with lotion in them.


• Ted Leo emailing me to tell me he likes the new design of the leafblower. Best.


• PJ Brown.


• The prospective Allen - Alien backcourt.


• Last night's LOST episode. Holy Fuck.


• The High Places LP 03/07 - 09/07. Saw them and loved them last year at Whartscape.


• Panda Bear's Person Pitch. Gruff played me the first song off this album on the tour bus in D.C. It's amazing, like a Beach Boys side project produced by DJ Shadow.

Things I am rather "meh" about right now

• SXSW. I do not care what artists you have playing there.


• Traveling again this weekend.


• Citibank canceling my debit card to "protect my checking account" from identity theft. That's great, but how about telling me before you do it next time, okay?


• Coughing up green stuff.


• Still being sick after three days.

Don't talk back to Darth Vader. He'll get ya!
