If Tim Burton was a band, he'd be the Rolling Stones from two years ago. Yeah, it certainly meant something once, but seriously...go fuck yourself.
If Jim Carrey playing Ebeneezer Scrooge in a fake animation type movie thing where everything looks like a video game and sucks a lot was an amount of money it would be zero American dollars.
If Pissed Jeans were a dog they would be a decent dog.
If Dude Japan were a band for Halloween they would be Husker Du.

The independent rock outfit Superchunk played a free show at South Street Seaport. The other independent rock outfit Versus played before them. Neither band bummed anyone out.

Weed Hounds
Demo 09
These songs are pretty great. Nick and Laura get nifty with their guitars. Cesco drums like a madman. Nick and Laura trade off singing about being ok and being allowed inside people's houses. It's catchy. It's upbeat. It's true to itself. These folks did not just open up ye olde "lo fi pop" starter box and decide to go for it. They're great, legit folks making great songs. The songs are great enough that they could even kind of be dicks as folks and I wouldn't mind. That works the other way, too. They're great enough as folks that they could even write some shitty songs and I wouldn't mind either.

Information
Songs you're not allowed to play on the jukebox at an exotic dancing club at three a.m. in Virginia the last time I checked (August, 2003):
Mother by Danzig (surprisingly enough)
Looking For A Kiss by The New York Dolls (surprisingly enough)
Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others by The Smiths (makes sense)

Crime in Stereo/Paint it Black
at Lindenhurst Moose Lodge
June 13th, 2009
Someone jumped on someone else. Someone bought a record. Someone bought a t shirt. Paint it Black played that song off their last full length that reminds me of my Grandpa dying and I kind of cried while I was jumping around. The song in reality is probably about getting divorced in your office where you practice psychology that happens to have a hospital bed that you're laying down in because you might die and not eating meat, voting republican, or joining the army. It is a Paint it Black song after all, but I like to pretend it's not about those things.
