how come all the other unicorns are dead?

On this day of horrific mudslides, we say RIP to those lost beneath the brown abyss--and not to be forgotten are the newest bands on the breakup bandwagon MCLUSKY & THE UNICORNS. Perhaps the Unicorns really had the "I write the songs!" argument. Either way, both sad losses in the realm of the indie. RIP, ya'll.

Welcome back, ye gods of the radar PITCHFORK MEDIA. We are exerting refrain as well as we can for the hiatus, for Autumnattic is no stranger to long breaks. Check out the featured "LIFE AQUATIC SOUNDTRACK" review from them, and then do the same with the review by YOURS TRULY.

Today was MACWORLD 05, the holy grail of tech conventions for apple nerdies. Steve Jobs, coolly clad in blue jeans and a sweater, unveiled such gizmos as the minimac, iLife 05, OSX Tiger, and of course, the mp3 flash extravaganza iPod shuffle. RUNNERS REJOICE!

Modest Mouse, Interpol & Arcade Fire have all announced fabuloso 05 kickoff tours around the US. Only problem is none of them chose to grace the broken glassy corners of the D. They figured the Detroiters got their fix already, eh? For shame.

Note the above names, and make a blueprint. A blueprint you say? Yes, hear BLOC PARTY, 05s sensational breakout (everybody is calling it, man) here .
