I've been sitting on this, pretending to accomplish things.

Billboard July 1

• So I've cleared all the cds from my work iTunes because I was bored of it all.
• I'm just keeping it for podcasts and fun music blogs, like the one Tiff told me about where Nick Cave covers "Disco 2000".
• Where's my granola bar?
• I'm hungry.
• I've discovered that the Nature Valley lemon yogurt granola bars taste an awful lot like the Girl Scout lemon sandwich cookies, and that makes me happy.
• Remember when Girl Scout cookies had cool names? But you could never remember what the hell any of them were?
• Now the names are more descriptive but less fun.
• I've also discovered the tastiness that is the plout.
• It's a combo of plum and apricot, and a good time.
• Pretty color, too.
• Suit + moire does not = a good idea, Jamie Foxx.
• SOrry that I have to be the one to tell you this.
• Pete Seeger!
• Pete Seeger's in this issue!
• I love Pete Seeger; I grew up on the guy.
• He's talking about Springsteen's thing, which I've also heard good things about.
• From my mom, who I'm apt to trust when it comes to this kind of thing.
• We also both love the Mermaid Avenue albums, and I really need to burn that Billy Bragg double cd I got for her a couple years ago.
• My dad, on the other hand, has spottier musical tastes.
• My favorite Dad music moment is when I was listening to One Foot in the Grave with him around and he commented, with surprise in his voice, on how much it sounded like old folkies.
• Man, One Foot in the Grave's a great album.
• I need to listen to that again.
• I was disappointed in Sea Change, though.
• And you'll notice that I can say that without worrying about the loss of my IndieRockStereotype status, since I talked up an earlier, lesser known album.
• Involving Calvin Johnson.
• Aw, here's Pete.
• Yay.
• Read it yourself here.
• 6 Question is with Chris Carrabba.
• I can't believe he's still around.
• I think Unfortunately Large Pants was a fan.
• Annie Lennox is back in the studio.
• Carrabba collaborated with Adam Duritz.
• ew
• Hey!
• New Pet Shop Boys!
• Have I mentioned this before?
• Feels like I have...
• Anyway, I ordered the stupid Dashboard album for the library.
• Why am I reminded of the argument Marissa and I had over who had to put their initials next to the Coldplay album?
• My little cottage is no longer on the market.
• And I fear it's too far after my birthday for it to have been bought as a gift for me.
• Frank DeCaro's Sirius radio show is counting down the 10 gayest songs ever.
• Love are reuniting for a benefit concert for their singer. It was on June 28. I wonder if it's online anywhere.
