Finally. DJ Douggpound gets his SDXE due.
Not sure if it'll be like his T&E live show warm-up DJ action, or this previous false start-y thing:
POUNDCAST III
Or maybe like these older things?:
"On a sesame seed bun!"
Printer Jam
"Are you a sweater?"
Video this year (go back in time if you want the 2006):

I noticed that a lot of the popular music weblogs are posting speculation on the lineup for the 2007 SXSW festival. Apparently, an "official" festival update cites 14 confirmed bands, including -- get this -- The Stooges. This is obviously some kind of prank. They broke up in 1974. What's next? White Zombie and that dog reuniting for Bonnaroo? Odd that so many people fell for this. It's kind of like when The New York Times published that Sub Pop gal's "grunge speak".
Anyway, my sources say that, as of now, only ONE band has been officially confirmed. Here are four hints: Marq Torien. Lonnie Vencent. Mick Sweda. Jimmy D'Anda. That's right. All four original members. See you cob nobblers at Stubb's in March.
Regina Spektor - "Consequence of Sounds"

Regina Spektor - "Little Boxes" (from the television program Weeds)
Did Begin To Hope hold on to x amount's top spot? Late surge from Mr. Lindsey? I also know that he got really into My Chemical Romance after seeing them on SNL, so who knows!

ZG + K-Fed:

I guess they're clever and all, but I'm starting to tire of his obviously CGI-ed special effects work.

Many people might think the official start of the holiday season is when Starbucks switches to the red cups or when that first old lady gets trampled on Black Friday, but it's actually rocking out to a post-Thanksgiving viewing of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. So get on that.
Marc Woodworth on the ebullient and unironic beauty of Robert Pollard's single-leg high kick, from Bee Thousand, his recent contribution to Continuum's 33/1/3 series:
1. The act itself: There is the planting of the other foot, the non-kicking foot. Video evidence is inconclusive, but the planting foot seems most often to be the right foot, in which case the preferred kicking foot is the left. Mr. Pollard plants the kicking foot by executing a small but powerful hopping motion, not unlike the one a diver executes on a diving board before leaping into the air.

This show is about the creative process. It's not about getting shouts out.
I would have never been able to reach the summit of Everest earlier this year without this track playing on an endless loop. Higher and higher, straight up I climbed:
There comes a time when you hit the wall and just can't jog anymore. I proclaim this my power song for said occasion, but only this version of the song**:
**Reason #37 for why I carry along my video iPod on each and every jog.
Look for these hermanos to tour next year with Smoosh. Hopefully the sibling pairs will join forces to jam on some Sep classics -- I think Asya could add some nice keyboard textures to "Beneath The Remains".
Sepultura - "Refuse/Resist"
Start practicing your air-raid sirens:
Into Eternity - "Nothing"
Into Eternity - "Pain Through Breathing"

The Mac nerd world jumped on this video days ago, but they didn't have such snappy supplementals. See the SL above and the fantastic smash-em-up below:
Jay-R - "My Other Car is a Beatle"
In case you didn't grab this one on the BB earlier in the week, here is Prof. John Hall's brilliant lecture on topics ranging from Paul Revere dishware, the origins of khaki, the middle finger, the glory of walking in London, The Art of War (no copyright on the damn thing!), and baddie Ebenezer Scrooge. Hopefully the dude wanders into the UCB Theatre and launches a career on the NY or LA alt.comedy circuit very soon. Check the Wurstery query at 16:56! Great Rocky Balboa impression at 28:30! Thumbs way down to the University of Florida for relieving him of his duties.
Not many care about Mike Patton anymore. All My Children does:
I love this so much. And don't neglect his incredibly solid podcast either.
Still not sure? Maybe it's because you missed his amazing Palm Pilot joke.
Don't miss the Ricky Powell cameo.
