Chaz Lamborghini in Da Hizzie!

Great news: the first season DVD of Charles in Charge is out this week! I just added it to my Amazon WishList. Feel free to send me gifts anytime you want.

In less exciting news...

(1) The National show here in NYC next month has been moved from Bowery Ballroom to Webster Hall. Arg. NOTE TO BANDS: Webster sucks. The sound sucks. They charge $7 for a Coors Lite. It gets too crowded. So, yeah, please stop playing there. Besides, The National lives here -- why not just do two nights at Bowery?

(2) Have the Jayhawks officially disbanded? I thought they were just on "hiatus"? Large Hearted Boy points to an article about the new West Coast Gary Louris/Marc Olson tour at Billboard.com which refers to the band as having been disbanded in 2003. Really? Oh, and Gary's apparently 51. Who knew?

(3) Do you miss Ride? Go listen to Languis' new song, "In the Field of (Lonely Fences)" and tell me someone hasn't been listening to a little Nowhere lately. They have more songs at their MySpace site. Is shoegaze coming back into style?

(4) I Rock Cleveland links to a video that I haven't seen in over a decade -- "Web In Front" by the Archers of Loaf. Check it:
