May I just mention....

that I think Coldplay is severely overrated. They're a good band and all, but are way overly touted. By the same token, The Vines are so underrated. Craig Nicholls is so talented, way more nuanced and experimental and capable of a greater breadth of sound (I like Coldplay, but all their music sounds the same to me) and yet not touted to the extent that his talent deserves. I have my ideas as to why this is so, but regardless of my thoughts, it just seems a great injustice to me. In the end, however, the proof is in the pudding. I think that people will come around and realize what a great band they are(were) and hopefully it won't be too late. Politics really suck but sadly, are a part of our every day existence.

Heart Palpitations/Noodle Revelations

I'm having heart palpitations. Good heart palpitations. Craig Nicholls is recording. I don't think its The Vines but as he is the singer/songwriter of the Vines music, I know its going to be good. DANKEN GOTT! (I'm not jewish but sometimes speak in tongues when excited.) Another interesting revelation: I figured out the other day that I AM Noodle. Only with better teeth.

The Strokes

My best guess is that their 5th album will be released sometime in late 2013. They are working on it but , God love 'em, tend to agonize over details. At any rate, that's where I put my money. I'll also be putting it down the hot second their 5th LP comes out, mind you. Once a Strokes fan, always a Strokes fan.
