Now I guess I have a good reason.

Some asshat leaked Evil Urges. What is with people? Seriously.

Rolling Stone’s current issue “The Best of Rock 2008″ features not only MMJ but Waterloo Records and Stubb’s, as well.

I just realized I’ve written two things in a row about MMJ. That is some lazy as shite posting. I will seek out some other bands shortly. I bet Fleet Foxes are doing something cool… they show up on my Google Reader at least once a day (and I love their name).

I know SXSW faves the Flight of the Conchords have a record coming out tomorrow and some tour dates starting May 5. Those boys are super funny live.

I just realized I’ve written two things in a row about Sub Pop bands. Oy. It was completely unintentional. It’s not my fault Sub Pop is cool.

Okay, I’m going away now, lp

Thanks to the generosity of the Alamo Drafthouse, SXSW is hosting two benefit screenings on April 29, for ailing filmmaker Benh Zeitlin. Why?

“Short filmmaker Benh Zietlin was in Austin, Texas March 9th, 2008 to World Premiere his film GLORY AT SEA. Unbelievably and unfortunately, Benh got in a serious car accident just hours before his screening. He shattered his hip (which has been replaced), broke his pelvis, and sprained both his ankles. While his film was showing to an enthusiastic crowd, Benh was in surgery. His medical bills have added up to about $80,000!”

The SXSW staff could not be more upset and impacted by what happened to Benh. So, we wanna help out by screening some of Benh’s shorts, and other acclaimed shorts by some of his friends, to raise cash for his medical bills. Click here for details on the screenings. Spread the word, and we hope to see you there!!
