Based on the frequent charge that we are just too negative around here,
we've decided to set a precedent for happy, inclusive, uniter-not-a-divider
rhetoric, by compiling a list of Things Which Don't Suck.
We envisioned this is as a rapidly-changing, frequently-updated list,
which takes into account our reader's suggestions. So far, this
has meant you'll be lucky to see it change more than once a month, and
it currently reflects entirely our overworked staff's opinions.
E-mail your suggestions
to: truedorktimes@truedorktimes.com
if you think a different strategy should be in order.

These
are a few of our semi-favorite things, in no particular order:
|
1.
epitonic.com
The finest site we've found for info on indie/punk bands, including
(frequently) MP3s to better elaborate on their descriptions. Not
to mention they have fine taste, with a sufficiently glowing endorsement
of Drive
Like Jehu. |
2.
The new season of 24, when FOX gets around to airing it,
at least
With a late start, and multiple holiday/political pre-emptions,
it's starting to feel like a redux of the Futurama treatment.
Some of the tricks (Sherry Palmer = evil) don't work as well the
second time around, but the writers still manage to throw a hefty
number of jarring twists in every now and then. Although Kim trapped
with a mountain lion? ::rolling eyes::

3.
The Dismemberment Plan's "Time Bomb" video
Not like MTV would actually ever air it, of course, but it
was briefly featured on the "All Things Indie" page
on the MTV web site.

4.
The
Chicago Cubs have the makings of a top-caliber pitching staff
Too bad Kerry Wood is now their second-best hitter on the days he
pitches, though. |
