burning the loose ends (or et tu, pitchfork?)

i've been writing an essay for the coolness, but i keep rewriting it, so don't expect to read it until the new year.

i am, however, posting a couple of halftime interviews to keep you at bay until next week.

additionally, here are some cool factoids:

* i bought groove theory's debut album for $.99! (actually, i think they only have one album)

* the emcee from gym class heroes sounds like shifty shellshock from crazytown and that's why gym class heroes is wack.

* to correct some lists i made earlier this month, the best hip-hop album of the year is actually little brother's "the minstrel show."

* pitchfork gave lil' kim's "the naked truth" a higher rating than "the minstrel show." i call bullshit.

so a quick recap:

1. groove theory is good
2. gym class heroes = crazy town
3. little brother is better than any of the rap music that pitchfork typically reviews.

see you in the new year...
