DJ AM Dead At 36
Please pray for the family and friends of the man who had been, along with blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, one of the two survivers of a South Carolina plane crash last October.
Republican Punk Is Back!
After a refreshing vacation and break from the real world, the blog has returned!
Unfortunately, things didn't stop while we were offline, so here's a quick recap:
The Holder justice department decided looking back instead of forward was a good idea after all, and is investigating a small group of CIA interregators. To quote Peter King: "It's Bulls***! Makes you wonder whos side they're on."
Scott Kazmir was traded to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for a pair of high potential, low minors prospects and a player to be named later. Kazmir was having a very bad season and is signed for over $30 million over the next two years (more if his 2012 option was picked up), so while first instinct is advantage Angels, it could turn out to be a win for both teams (if the prospects work out quickly and Kazmir rebounds) or possibly even another coup for the Rays, such as when they got Kazmir and another prospect for Victor Zambrano.
Jim Doyle announced he wasn't running for re-election as Governor of Vermont, likely costing the Republican party a critical seat in a dark blue state.
Matt Skiba has plans to record a solo album. Here's to hoping that the Alkaline Trio frontman can make something as good as his short-lived post-punk side project, Heavens.
And of course: Ted Kennedy, 1932-2009. It's the end of an era.

A Good New Weezer Track? ((If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To)
Luckily, this is the only Weezer single actually confirmed for the new album due out in October, so hopefully we won't have to worry about I'm Your Daddy popping up on our ipod shuffle.
Awful title though.

Obama Justice Department Thinks $1.92 Million File-Sharing Suit Is Constitutional
The Obama administration is asking a judge to reject a Minnesota woman's argument that a jury verdict ordering her to pay $1.92 million for sharing 24 tracks is unconstitutional.
"Defendant's suggestion that the actual harm can be measured to the 'tune of $1.29 for each of the 24 songs' ... ignores the potential multiplying effect of peer-to-peer file-sharing," the Department of Justice argues in papers filed today with a federal district court in Minnesota.
In June, a jury found that Jammie Thomas-Rasset willfully infringed on the record labels' copyright by sharing tracks on Kazza and ordered her to pay $80,000 per track. The copyright statute provides for damages between $750 and $150,000 per infringement.
Speechless.

Patrick Wolf Is A Little Boy Throwing A Hissy Fit
Two notes on this video:
1) Who would want to see this man live anyways? He is not David effin Bowie.
2) Is he actually a man? Or is this just like an elaborate hoax?

Bob Dylan Mistaken For Crazy Homeless Person
Really just a crazy person.
"OK Bob, why don't you get in the car and we'll drive to the hotel and go verify this?' " she said she told him. "I put him in the back of the car. To be honest with you, I didn't really believe this was Bob Dylan. It never crossed my mind that this could really be him."
Buble made small talk on the ride to the hotel, asking her detainee where he was playing, she said, but never really believing a word he said.
"I got out of my car and said, "Sarg, this guy says he's Bob Dylan,'" Buble said. "He opened the car door, looked in, and said, 'That's not Bob Dylan.'"
