NEW MUSIC: THE WHIGS



Rock group The Whigs released a new studio album today, "In the Dark." Rolling Stone magazine reviewed the new album:
"Athens, Georgia, band the Whigs build arena-size tunes out of some very unarena influences — including the Replacements, Pixies, My Morning Jacket and Spoon. The band's third disc is the sharpest distillation of its neo-college rock yet, with Animal Collective producer Ben H. Allen's arty, wall-of-sound approach brightening singer-guitarist Parker Gispert's underdog anthems while rarely slowing them down. "I Am for Real" sets echo-chamber guitar grind to a disco throb; "Someone's Daughter" is a riff-monster stomp worthy of Billy Squier; and "I Don't Even Care About the One I Love" suggests the Whigs have got a great record of R.E.M. answer-songs in them, if the local bars ever stop producing hardhearted girls to shout about." - Jon Dolan, Rolling Stone Magazine

OVERHEARD IN NEW YORK

Overheard in New York is a website, similar to Texts From Last Night, that is based on user content submissions but only from New York, NY. The difference here is that on Overheard, it is just something that someone said. It can be funny, absurd, stupid, and random.

Some samples include:


Charlie Brown Gets Very Upset With Linus

Loud guy running out of building: I'm so mad I could do stuff! I'm so pissed I'm going to do some stuff to him! Aughhhh! I'm gonna do some stuff!
Passerby: Don't make him mad, he's crazy. He'll do... stuff.
--NYU Building, Washington Square


...Rodeo Clowns

Female 20-something: People used to get dressed up to go to the theater. Now people are here in jeans and UGGs.
Flouncy 20-something wearing cowboy boots: I used to wear UGGs, but I wasn't getting checked out by the kind of guys I want to get checked out by.

"THE PRICE OF BEAUTY" - NEW VH1 SERIES

Famous ditzy blonde is going serious with her new upcoming show on VHI called "The Price of Beauty" where she will travel the world and explore different cultural ideas of beauty. Sounds like something I might like to check out, given that it might be some semi-intelligent programming on VH1.

"The Price of Beauty" debuts on March 15th (this Monday) at 10 p.m.
