Random stuff...

I'm kind of sad that season two of The Boondocks is coming to a close. For one thing, there is hardly anything on tv right now. For another, this show has gotten better and better every week. Season one was great, but this season set it off to another level. Here is the season finale. It's a good representation of the hypermasculinity that pervades mainstream (and even underground) rap, and the underlying homoeroticism it attempts to conceal. And it's really funny. Enjoy.

There are just a ton of great shows coming to Chicago this spring. I've been trying to make a concert calendar along the side of this blog but I am having a tough time coming up with a convenient way to do so. Between that and figuring out how I'm going to afford all the shows I hope to attend I have a lot on my mind. But one that I'm sure I'll be at is the New Pornographers/Okkervil River show on April 20. Yes, I've seen the New Pornos several times, but I've never seen Okkervil River and it is time. And I always have room in my heart for another New Pornographers show so that is that.

And...coming soon...The Glow in the Dark tour...featuring Kanye West, Rihanna, N.E.R.D., and Lupe Fiasco.

For now...check out the Bonnaroo lineup.
