Our Rank & File returns with a new batch of the people, places, and things that would be dominating our watercooler talk if we had a watercooler. It’s a week’s worth of blog posts synthesized into one handy chart you can print out and keep in your wallet! Like last time, an item’s RANK reflects a story’s size, while its BUZZ (thumbs up, or down, or both) reflects its nature. Make sense? Almost make sense? Good. Scroll beneath the image for links to the stories referenced therein. Here goes…
1. Coachella 2012 Lineup
2. The Shins – “Simple Song”
3. Mixtape Of The Week: Rick Ross Rich Forever
4. Van Halen – “Tattoo”; Is Van Halen’s New Song 35 Years Old?
5. At The Drive-In Reunite
6. Bon Iver To Make SNL Debut; Justin Vernon Starts Record Label
7. John Parr Re-Records “St. Elmo’s Fire” For Tim Tebow
8. The Magnetic Fields – “Andrew In Drag”
9. Watch The Trailer For The LCD Soundsystem Doc Shut Up And Play The Hits

Weird. No 311?
#11
and #12 was Dishwalla
Better luck next week!
I feel like Phil Collins is silently rebuking me every time you post, Scott. :(
But SRSLY
PHIR CORRRINS!
No Everclear or Deep Blue Something?
It’s funny because 311 is a bad band! omg lol lmao keep it coming! Let’s use the same joke in every stereogum comment section!
Tebow pretty much rope-a-doped the entire NFL into thinking he couldn’t throw the ball
Kind of in the dolrums that Ceremony didn’t crack the list after releasing their Matador single debut, “Hysteria” and a $5 show at NYC’s Le Poisson Rouge, but I have a good feeling come March when Zoo drops, there will be not one but two thumbs up after they secure a spot on this list.
“Wait, At The Drive-In reunited?! I was too busy listening to The Shins new song.” ~This Chart
Everyone was too busy listening to and/or hating Van Halen
Bob Lefsetz on Tattoo:
“Nerds have inherited the world, with their software and gadgets. But in one fell swoop Van Halen has taken it back.
THAT’S THE POWER OF ROCK AND ROLL!”
Might be the straw the breaks the me-unsubscribing-from-the-Lefsetz-Letter camel’s back.
I unsubscribed from Lefsetz a year ago and I’ve never looked back, in fact I looked back not-at-all SO much, that this mention of his name is the first time I remembered that I unsubscribed.
Maybe Tattoo sounds better in Vail
I don’t know who Bob Lefsetz is, but he sounds awful and/or hilarious.
B.I.C aka Rosemary’s Baby

The John Parr/Tebow thing should be a thumbs up. Or, is it one of those “so bad it’s good,” like “Dou Hast Miche”?
I meant thumbs down. Shitsauce.
What date is bon iver on SNL?
2/4!
and 2/11 is Blue Ivy Carter.
Damnit, I was going to make a joke about March the Eleventh, but it’s a damned leap year this year, so that’s a Sunday.
Leap year, you have crossed me for the last time! It’s war!
In the words of Liz Lemon: What the what?

I think you might want to put At the Drive In just a teensy bit higher… A lot of a teensy bit higher…
Does the Refused reunion land in the top 20 somewhere?
