Serious, serious now

Song in my head:
"Serious" by [DARYL]

Here are the nominees you've been waiting for!

Turns out one of my favorite authors gave birth to a baby girl on Sunday.

Watch out for Fountains of Wayne portraying the Hollies on NBC's American Dreams. Here is more info.

I watched Miller's Crossing last night. I thought it was a well-developed story and looked beautiful. However, (Matt, start typing your hate e-mail or comment) I found the gangster lingo and the nicknames to be a little confusing. I got the basic plot down but maybe I need to refer to the book I have on the Coen Brothers for more info.

You mean to tell me that this record has yet to be released across the pond? And I thought us Americans had it bad with hoping for a US release for the new Manics or the new Idlewild records.

Speaking of the next Idlewild record, Chrome Waves has some info: "Jack Rabid of The Big Takeover has confirmed (though a contact at Capitol) that Idlewild's Promises/Warnings has NO North American release date, despite what I've read and reported. Apologies to anyone who had March 8 circled on their calendars to camp out at their local record store. Hopefully it won't be too long in coming after the UK release, or Capitol's Canadian division will import a bunch of copies for our consumption before a proper domestic version is released, as frequently happens. Sometimes there are perks to being a colony!"

It's been a year since I moved away from Lakewood, and even though I could relocate to a new place as a newly-single guy, I've chosen to stay where I am. I enjoy living in North Dallas/Richardson given its central location, being not too far away from places I have enjoyed going to in my fourteen-plus years living in Dallas County. Living in Lakewood for nine years was critical for me, but I am glad I don't have homeless people going through my garbage, my street getting shut down like it's Mardi Gras on Halloween night, and I don't have to answer to the not-so-friendly landlords who bought my old place. I have a new housemate moving in at the end of the month and I have many reasons to be excited as he's been a friend for many years. Couple that with a humongous  new record store opening in nearby Farmers Branch , shows to see, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for something very cool (for which I reveal at a later date) and I'm happy to say fall is sha...
