bLISTerd Presents: Koomdogg’s top 11 Albums of 2011
There were a lot of terrific rock albums in 2011, but the one that stood out for me was Fucked Up’s David Comes to Life, and not just because I can’t say the band’s name in front of my mom.

Deer Tick has a holiday EP out. I […]

Blerd Radio Episode 3: The Disappearance of LeBron James . For some reason, WordPress will not led me embed the Blogtalkradio code into my posts. This pisses me off.
