"... Make a move & get blown off the planet ." Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons gets together with The North Face to create a select few items for Fall/Winter 2009. As a material guy in a material world, I would seriously consider having sex with either the burnt orange or green color of that vest (there's a black one too). I'm talking she don't know my government name © Rocky , I'm going straight to the clinic tomorrow" type unprotected sex. "I'd pay for that" type sex. [...]
The genre hopping alone can make Fits difficult to digest, but give it a few spins and your patience will be rewarded. White Denim isn't breaking any new ground here, but their peculiar brand of psychedelic garage rock is rambling, catchy, and loaded with enough nuance to command repeat listens.

It was another close call for Amy Winehouse . The " Rehab " singer mixed medications and landed herself in the hospital. The story being weaved by sources and reps is that she had a cold and her antihistamine mixed with her prescriptions to create a dangerous combo of drugs . Concerned, a doctor ordered her to hit up the clinic. "The singer spent last night at The London Clinic on doctor's advice after [...]
Barely a day goes by without some kind of story involving Amy Winehouse, and today (Nov. 16) comes the news that she has been hospitalized. She spent a night at an institution called the London Clinic last night after allegedly suffering from a reaction to two different types of medication. Apparently both the drugs she was taking were legit, as Winehouse claims her days of substance abuse are long behind her. Naturally, British tabloid the Mirror has their usual unnamed source on hand for a quote: "Amy took over-the-counter stuff for a cold but [...]
Eternal question: how to leave the rock, how to rock the rock? We no want to go away, we a want to stay. Love home, rep home. But yard hard. No soul want a be forever down, stepped upon. We assert ourselves against authority. We our own authority. But everyday downpressor on our back in everyway. What we gon do? The upward struggle of our living down-under make our music come strong, got to be tuff enuff to stand forward in the shit-storm. Take a little woman like this here hummingbird Cherine who sing eagle strong. [...]

Oh my God. I had an absurdly good meal at 8 Oz. Burger Bar this evening. I'll post the pictures and describe the tastes later, I'm still full and haven't found quite the right words to describe it yet. Then I came home and found out one of the restaurant's co-owners was recently arrested on charges that he may have intentionally caused a woman to have a miscarriage by "placing an unspecified powder in the pregnant woman's vaginal area." So he killed a fetus. If you told me right now that the hamburger I ate tonight was actually a fetus, [...]

Portland's Dirtnap Records just stumbled into its 10th year. Dirtnap Records' Ken Cheppaikode at his SE Portland record store, Green Noise. IMAGE: Tom Martinez Call it an example of the American Punk Rock Dream: A decade ago, Ken Cheppaikode was living in an apartment below a vet clinic in Seattle, cleaning cat shit out of litter boxes in exchange for free rent and nurturing a vague idea of starting his own record label. Today, he is entering his 10th year as the head of Portland's Dirtnap Records. For an imprint [...]

Welcome to part one of GIMME TINNITUS' Best Songs Of The Aughts where we look back on the best songs of 2000-2004. Back when all the "best of the decade" whoopla started earlier this year (with Pitchfork's Best Of ), I began thinking about the songs I would have blogged about had I actually been blogging (or let's say posting about music on an angelfire page) way back in 2000. I sifted through many tracks to come up with this list, and I hope it helps you reconnect with some tracks you may have forgotten [...]

Are you ready to feel like a piece of shit? Gordon Gano was 19 when the Violent Femmes recorded their self-titled debut album. True story: the trio borrowed $10,000 from bassist Brian Ritchie's old man and ground out one of the great American rock albums of the 1980's, and certainly one of the most unmistakable. Gano's age shouldn't come as a surprise, considering how (sometimes disturbingly) well Violent Femmes encapsulates the iconic rage and frustration that came from Reagan's "Morning in America." Whenever I listen to a timeless masterwork created by someone too young to drink I inevitably wonder what [...]
Proggy warriors Yeasayer spent much of the past year recording the follow up to All Hour Cymbals . The first tune to hit the Inter-streets is "Ambling Alp," which, if you try to say it five times fast, will have your tongue wrapped around your hangy ball. Not to be confused with a nut, your hangy ball will, in turn, be triggering samples on the MPC in your tonsils. Ok, enough dental imagery. As is usually the case with Yeasayer, "Ambling Alp" is a worldly, tripped out affair unafraid of twisting itself up in all sorts of sound found [...]
