Weekly Roundup: Oct 16 – 22, 2011
CMJ: Three little letters, a whole lot of great live music. I had a good time at the events I checked out and, in terms of TWD, I have been really busy trying to get my interview posts up.

Music Video Throwback: Blink 182 – Dammit
For this new installment of Music Video Throwback, I'm going to do something a little different. I'm going to write a video that was significant to me at the time of its release, but, unlike previous posts on this feature, is not particularly interesting any longer, or really has held up that well. I guess this is growing up…
