Contest 179: Hope I Woot Before I Get Old (Woot! - One Day, One Deal)

Mon, 23 Jun 2008 17:00:01 GMT

Today's Rolling Stone DVD-ROM Archive is cool and all, but we can't help but notice it leaves out a crucial part of rock history: the role played by Woot products. Sure, it's not technically "true" that there was a LeakFrog on Buddy Holly's doomed plane, or that Sid Vicious cut himself with those cheap shopping-channel knives we sell sometimes. But isn't there a greater "truth" to be...

New Walkmen - "In The New Year" (Stereogum)

Thu, 19 Jun 2008 21:22:48 GMT

At the beginning of the month, we mentioned the Walkmen's forthcoming fourth collection You & Me . The press release name-dropped Elvis, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison, Randy Newman, the Modern Lovers, and the Pogues. It's hard to tell if this roll call's fulfilled on the basis of one track, but Dylan should be kept in mind for enunciation purposes, and there's a Strokesian swagger to the...
