• I’m supposed to be living in the media capital of the nation, if not the world. So how come I can’t find a copy of this month’s Los Angeles Magazine to save my life? I really, really wanted to read the feature on Jeffrey Wells (!!!) and Dave Poland (”The Blog Whisperers”) at lunch today, old fashioned stizz. Even after hitting up all of the various newsstands in Times Square (including a run to the Virgin Megastore), I still came up empty. Oh well, I guess that’s why they invented the Internerd™.

• AllMusic.com is the most comprehensive music site on The Internerd™, no doubt about it. There’s also no doubt that it’s the most lifeless music site on The Internerd™. It’s hard to put a finger on why a site so best can simultaneously be so durst, but Dean Simakis’ assertion is that it’s a design issue.

• All kinds of breaking Sarah Shannon news to share. After Angels Twenty revealed a few weeks back that one of your Uncle’s all-time fave indie rock babes has a new solo jawn on the way, yesterday saw a veritable explosion of S.S. related content on The Internets. Both Chrome Waves and Idolator were on the scene to serve up some yummy Velocity Girl goodness. The latter, in particular, revealed an AMAZING V.G. find from the Sub Pop Singles days.

• Not sure if its the competitive nature of the industry or what, but man oh man, it seems like nothing pleases NY media types more than the opportunity to wallow around in a warm bath of schadenfreude. Me, I hate it when bad things happen to good people. Which hopefully explains why there’s not much I can say about Chris Shott’s “Blog Ghetto” piece in The Observer today. If you’re looking for commentary, look no further than Gawker … obvs.

• Dude, have you SEEN that that fucking shark? SO CRAZED! So crazed that, if it had appeared in “The Life Aquatic”, it would’ve salvaged that otherwise terrible film.
• Oprah and Bill Bonds. `Nuff said.
