It’s a few days before Thanksgiving, which means the XMas posts can start now…

  • KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas. Shins, Interpol, Modest Mouse, and a lot of mallpunk bands that sound alike.
  • Walkmen release a new XMas single as free download.
  • 45 days, with only Pepsi Holiday Spice to drink.
  • Pitchfork on Band Aid 20: “Clumsy … lazy … disappointing.”
  • Indie-rock stocking stuffer? The Franz Ferdinand winter scarf.
  • Yesterday, Oprah gave her audience a bazillion early Christmas presents. They were FREAKING OUT. Exactly like this.

      I searched that merch site for an official Libertines crack pipe, sadly, to no avail. Guess that special someone will be getting a Vince Neil endorsed Beer Bong instead.

    3. i busted my ass to make sure we had some ralph lauren sweaters for the publicity dept. to meet w/ oprah’s producers and guess what: no ralph lauren this year! i’m a little disappointed. maybe next year i’ll get sean john on the list of “favorite things.”

      OHMYGOSH!!!! I’m glad I wasnt the only who watches Oprah almost every day. I Cant believe how much they ***freak***! out when she gives them gifts, like, it’s almost totally expected, ya’ know? Like, I might freak out if she *didnt* hand out some stuff. hehe :)

      Keep it up!

    5. i am outraged that you said “stocking stuffer.” see you at APT!
