Waddling Around!
Those Darlins are coming back to Chicago.Â Normally I would say, “hey, there an awesome band, but I just saw them,”Â but not this time.Â They are opening up for the amazing King Kahn and BBQ Show.Â Tickets are $15 and its at the Logan Square Auditorium on Dec 2.Â Who’s in?Â Norah, you’re back in town, right?

Not interested? How about this then?
- Via Berkeley Place, My Morning Jacket, Weezer and Andrew Bird doing a Muppet Show tribute disc?
- This Jabba The Hut cake is pretty awesome. Via Pop Candy.
- Wasn’t someone saying the other night that they didn’t know any other Steve Coogan (that guy from Hamlet 2) movies?Â Well apparently there’s a 14 dvd colletion of his movies out today.

Show me your genitals

So in case you haven’t yet caught the Fantasy Football fever or if you immediatley turn the t.v. off after It’s alway’s sunny, The League is a pretty funny show. This is Jon Lajoie, one of the cast members, his song in the first episode to a 5 year old about the night she was conceived was classic. This is just a taste of his stuff. BTW (by the way for the lay person) Youtube is being a wang about embedding so here is the link.

Party
I don’t have anything great to put up, so here are a couple things; hopefully you like at least one of them.
- “Fuck Patience, Lets Dance” says Them Crooked Vultures (Grohl, Homme and JP Jones) cause they now have their new cd on the youtubes.
- Pixies did “Here Comes a Man” on the Co Co Show.
- More Gaga: she has a new song out and another cover of Poker face by Cartman.
- Weezy gots a documentary.Â I hope he explains why his leather is so soft.
- Pearl Jam dressed up as Devo for Halloween, and here is Stone Gossard Rick-Rolling ya.
- I don’t know if this is supposed to be funny, but I laughed pretty hard.Â Thanks Kristen.
I usually only do one Neil pic a post, but when I added the “Party In The USA,” I couldn’t help myself.Â After the jump…

I don’t Care…

Julian Casablancas apparently doesn’t care what the calendar says, cause he put on his myspace a cover of the SNL song “I wish it were Christmas Today.” Stereogum adequately described it as sounding like an early Strokes b-side. Yup, that goofy song Horatio Sans, Jimmy Fallon, Chris Kattan and Tracy Morgan did a couple years ago that was Neil and Austin’s favorite for so many years. Julian probably does care about getting as much press as he can for the solo album released two days ago, which is most likely the reason for the release. And if you want to listen the rest of the album, its streaming in it’s entirety on his myspace also.

Sunny Day…

To continue with the post on muppets, apparently Sesame Street has put a lot of their videos online. If you want to waste sometime, you can remember (or be angry that you never saw) things like Don Music, Paul Simon, Johnny Cash, Arrested Development (but not the Arrested Development you’re all think of), or my all time favorite Oinker Sisters:
