Uchiage? What is it? Wayne Spencer attempts to answer that question in this month's Paris Transatlantic. The article is plenty interesting for those looking to hinge upon one man's opinion on the music he heard, but it does little to define the event itself or any interrelatedness of the performances. Definitely worth a read at any rate.

Where was I six years ago? Completely oblivious of Refused, a Swedish post-punk unit that has recently knocked me on my ass with The Shape of Punk To Come. With cover art inspired by heydey-era Columbia records and liner photos that include a rustic rehearsal space complete with a poster of Coltrane's Blue Train, the disc is a catchy little item that detectably attempts to redefine the punk aesthetic while infusing a wild string of influences.

Who would make the better king? Harry or William? VH-1 is seeking a decision on that nail-biter right now and I feel like a tool for indulging it. While we're in confessional mode, I might as well admit to having watched an HBO special on Vegas showgirls, three episodes of MTV's "Pimp My Ride" and an infomercial on loofah alternatives. The foresight to bring some review discs on travel would have been handy had I known I'd be laid up all day with a serious sunburn.
The Shield's on!

"Harry or William?"
Has Harry's popularity soared so high (or Willam's sunk so low) that this is an issue now?
