Jack Valenti, the urbane Washington lobbyist who served as Hollywood's public face for nearly four decades and was best known for creating the film rating system, died this afternoon, according to Warren Cowan, his longtime friend and publicist for the MPAA. He was 85.
Whats this, new White Stripes. Thats right...
I'm going to reserve judgment on this due to it being a radio rip.
The White Stripes - Icky Thump
Oh and to anger Pat Craven, photos from Fountains of Wayne show at Webster Hall available at stereogum.
Only because the little guy looks like thom and thats the kind of asshole thing he would do.

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez and nothing really happened either that should make me this angered. I hate photoshop.
Apparat is a cool German workforce in the electronica department, definitely with a harder influence (bigger beats and little jingles) but also a glitch kind of person, using lots of sounds to add to his catalogue. Komponant was my favourite track (just behind "Silizium"--German for silicon) off of his last effort. The following is a new single leaked from his upcoming 2007 release.
Apparat - Arcadia
First order of business, Thom Provost is an impatient jerk.
Second order of business, I fell asleep today so I could not update.
That is all.
Innes Wilson
Innes Wilson - With Archangels
June 23 he will be at Phog Lounge!
Entire Cities <--Best looking myspace I have ever seen.
Entire Cities - Marshall's 5 lost years
Will not be at the Phog lounge on June 23rd.
And for the record Guelph =! Toronto.
Also buy Brother Ali's album "The Undisputed Truth" on April 10th. I can see this being one of my top 10 hip hop cds of the year, if not on my overall top 10.
Cheers,
Jon (losing is my motif evidently)
I've been going to bed at record times all this week, and it seems like a trend I'm hearing throughout school. Everyone listen to "Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out" and I think you'll just get a headache/want to shake your head slowly and throw paper at people.
This is Junior Boys, remixing Stars' "Sleep Tonight."
Why am I the only one who looks after this place?
Windsorites: April 14th is the date of the annual Jammie awards, for CJAM 91.5fm. Head here to vote for "The Breakthrough" under best new show. The Mark Inside and The Locust Kings will be playing live, at about 9-10pm. After 10, the public is welcome.
The Mark Inside played the CJAM fest this September along with Magneta Lane, some crappy punk ripoff pos, and Bigg's Philosophies. My old teacher once told me of the last groups mysterious existence, and unfortunately school made me miss them live.
For everyone who is held up behind a filter, use Stealth-Ip
DJ.
Jets To Brazil homage at bottom.
Anyone into Jean Jaurès?
ANNA SCALLY SHOULD REALLY BE NAMED ANNA SCALLYWAG! (Horrible mandatory presentation this morning)
Michael Nylander is a player for the New York Rangers. He should be playing for the NYIslanders.
Schedule Two
HELP ME DO MY HOMEWORK
This song is excellent. Barr Barr are from LA and I still don't know everything about them except they sound like Steven Malkmus with a hint of Suicidal Tendencies "Institutionalized." Consisting of four minutes of heavy talking you laugh at quirks like "It's more vague with no hints as to intention/Wait, except maybe the intention was to seem vague or not to have a cover/Maybe just there is no cover" satisfaisant avec "What about the voice of Geddy Lee?/How did it get so high?/I wonder if he speaks like an ordinary guy/'I know him, and he does'"
Please, it's my honour.
Barr Barr - This is The Single
P.s. Shortbus cameo on CBC3
Because be we are both lazy and bastards we are effectively lazy bastards. Unlike all the other blogs we ignored SXSW this year, but I have decided to end this assumed rule between Thom and myself. Here are the NPR Live sessions from SXSW 2007 with KEXP. Beware apparently the NPR can't afford fast hosting.
Okkervill River Live at SXSW
Beirut Live at SXSW
Alexi Murdoch Live at SXSW
MEW live at SXSW
Those are my favourites you can check the rest out here. Others include Andrew Bird, Peter, Bjorn and John, and The Apples in Stereo.
Cheers,
Jon
P.s. I'll be back on the air Thursday considering I successfully lost my election bid.
Well I was supposed to update yesterday but yesterday is now today because of the time which is although confusing vital to our contributions.
Wintersleep - Sore
Great song for me; "You've been awake all morning" and "Conciously endure every ache and sore"
