So this is Christmas. No no, please don't scurry away, I promise you: no more John Lennon!! OK? Are we friends again? Have you stopped screaming?? Good. I was looking back at my Chrimbo posts from last year and I was struck by how Grinchian and grumpy they were! My goodness, pre-visitation Scrooge had NOTHING on FiL circa December 2008. Much of that was due to circumstances; I shan't go into details, but it was one of those burdensome Yuletides where I knew no matter what happened it [...]

[One in a series on new music hitting the local scene ...] I confess that all Ingenue had to do to get my attention was boldface the influences. Singer-songwriter Lauren Dolan professes a love for the Boston power pop scene (check); "The Lolita EP" was produced by Letters to Cleo's Michael Eisenstein (check) and features contributions from LTC singer Kay Hanley (check) and Veruca Salt's Nina Gordon (check). So how does Dolan, a SoCal native, fare? Pretty well. [...]
I know I sound like a broken mp3 but I really do get excited every year when the Southwest by Southwest Music Festival posts its schedule of showcases, along with hundreds and hundreds of mp3s by artists who will be performing in Austin, Texas (USA) on the dates indicated above. Over the next I don't know how many days, I'll be posting some of my favorites. Some of them are actually old friends,
Video: The Dollyrots "Brand New Key" From their Blackheart Records debut " Because I'm Awesome ":
Ah actors, don't you just love them? Oh, you don't? Well why? Oh, the bastard ran away with who? Oh dear. And did she ever explained? Oh money, I see. Well, besides that? Said he looked like Tom Cruise? What's that, it was Tom Cruise?! Are you sure? Isn't he like somewhere pretending to be a gay Nazi boy now? I mean Nazi. Yeah, I added the gay. Sorry. You sure it was him? Hmm isn't that like sort of a compliment knowing that your chick ran away with one of the biggest stars in the world? Yeah that's right. [...]
Sarah Gregg Millman (of the Girl Guides) "Oooh This Love is So" (Al B. Sure cover) Words cannot express how excited I was to see this covered. Sigh. Al B. The Chipmunks "Good Girls Don't" (The Knack cover) I still can't believe that such a dirty song was reworked (and barely, at that) for a kids album. The Gwen Stacys "Alive" (Oasis cover) Tiffany "Panic (Hang the [...]

Because I?m Awesome is, in fact, quite awesome. And, just as a reminder, Sunglasses After Dark, my show on KJHK 90.7FM is bringing the Dollyrots to Lawrence on June 4. Expect lots and lots of pictures. ?Because I?m Awesome?
because i'm awesome www.dollyrots.com alright, admittedly this song is not going to change your life in any sort of significant way. it's not really experimental nor pushing the boundaries musically/lyrically. it's pretty mainstream-sounding to me, that pop-punk kind of sound that got all popular there for a bit, and probably is still popular although i am a bit out of the what's-cool-on-muchmusic loop. that said, i dare you to listen to this song three times in a row and not start singing along and dancing like a fool. I DARE [...]
Oh good lord. Here we go. I'm blogging about a song, and the song is called this: The Dollyrots - Because I'm Awesome YEAH SERIOUSLY. BECAUSE I AM FUCKING AWESOME!!! Someone (thank you!) emailed this to me this morning, who found it via Heartonastick, who has a much more in depth take on it than I am going to attempt here. But if you ever liked bands like Letters to Cleo, or if you maybe secretly like Ashlee Simpson songs (an exboyfriend of mine LOVES the [...]
I'm about to make you a happy little bunch of fuckers. Don't start thanking me all at once. This morning was awful, wasn't it? Sky shitting down, flooded streetcorners, soaked socks. It's Friday. You're
