Thursday at The Lucky Cat.

Whether you're a dj or collector -
Just starting out or old-time crackhead -
Genre-specific or all-inclusive -
This is for you.
So come on down, talk smack about records, spin some, forget the name of that one artist on that green label that sounds like bao-ba-dumpa-dum, and perhaps walk away with a gem or three.

this morning i lit my paper towel rack on fire.

true story. anyway, holy hip hop news!
some guy from chicago was just arrested for trying to extort r. kelly (how hard could that be?).

plus, an article about stabbings and mayhem at the last night's vice awards.

and, of course, some parties.

some junk.

this just in for pixies fans. . .
PIXIES FALL TOUR NOW ON SALE!
Greetings!
Some of you have written to our support desk expressing your desire for DiscLive recordings of the Pixies Fall tour. I'm happy to say that starting November 10th from Minneapolis/St. Paul, your wish is our command!
DiscLive is recording all of the Pixies dates in November, and those shows are already on pre-sale at disclive.com.

in other news, stereogum links to this site that has a live mp3 of the arcade fire covering the talking heads' 'this must be the place'. it's lovely.

and some parties to make your week nicer. . .

a pill for people who can't stop eating, drinking, and smoking. . .

i need this!

let's hope there's crack in heaven.

odb, R.I.P..
