Crappy's blog


 



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.
