Rock Band DLC for March revealed →
Well, Simple Man is a must buy. Probably March of the Pigs, too. And I expect they’ll have a few more added when the dates actually arrive. Otherwise, looks like a slow March in RB world. Eagerly awaiting the February picks…

gotdatkevinnealon: Seeing Kid Sister live is like god’s way of apologizing to me personally for the five or so years I spent going to shitty rap shows that started an hour and a half late. I was quite impressed by what I saw of Kid Sister before Chromeo came on. She had CHARISMA! And was pounding Red Bulls all the way through the last song.
I must say...
Bowery was about as ALIVE as I could ever remember it tonight. Great crowd, tons on energy and an excellent performance from Chromeo.

feels like its been a while. Everything looks like a younger, cheaper imitation of what I remember. The party photogs are using inexpensive point and click cameras, and the subjects have this disarming lack of confidence in their vacant gaze.
6 reasons Dominos Pizza is sometimes better than...
It travels better.
It stays fresh longer.
It tastes better cold.
It’s less greasy.
It’s more consistant.
Sometimes you’re just in the mood for Dominos instead of real pizza. Just like sometimes you want a big fat juicy $12 burger and sometimes you want a Whopper combo meal. It’s not rocket science, folks.

TMZ is wonderful for many many reasons, but the new TMZ Live posts might be the worst idea ever. It actually deters me from going on the site. Does the stream need to be above the fold? And it needs to autostart? With sound? Even when it’s not the top post? So every time I check the site, I’m assaulted with muffled street noises through my computer speakers? Plain dumb.
Confession: I had never even heard of "Love and...
It appears that, for the first time since 2004, I will not be attending Coachella this year. I’m kind of sad about this, but it’s impossible to justify the trip with this lineup.

I did not realize Amazon officially hooked up with a store like this. All refurb/open box deals. Seems safer going through them rather than some random shady online store, no?

Tumblr Humblr
I started this as a Central Village tumblr, but it’s now jeff baum’s tumblr. Central Village is a lot of things, and even tho I’m not writing much these days, it will still exist however I see fit. But this is my tumblr. Jeff Baum. That’s me! It’s separate. I was just telling Kelly how I just read another article about the commercialization of web 2.0, how Amazon...
