Sorry Towers - I didn't want to go over your head, but you left me no choice. Here's the excellent WCJ from the new GTA IV spot.

Just wanted to let everyone know about this Outside Lands festival in San Fran August 22 - 24th. I know it is close to our planned trip to Chi Town, but I couldn't pass up the chance to see Radiohead, Beck, and Wilco. One of my roomates and myself have purchased tickets, but it would be awesome if a few of us went to listen to some crunchy tunes and just groove.

You can check out the lineup and purchase tickets through the site here.

Anyone interested in attending the Mars Volta concert at UCI on Jan. 30th should know that pre-sale tickets went on sale today.  The password is "wax".  The tickets are a little pricey, but myself and the Rabbi will most likely attend.  The show is the day after their new album comes out, so it should be pretty sweet.  I just purchased two tickets, and the Rabbi may purchase a couple more if anyone is interested.  Or you could just look at this creepy poster and be on your way.

I'm terrible when people ask me what I've been listening to.  I struggle for five minutes only to rattle off the most obscure album I can think of so I sound cool and edgy.  But lists and typing I can do, and why bother making one when Baumondo's old buddy from UCSB, and fantasy footballer, Jesse has done it for me, my list would be slightly different, but this way I don't have to think.  Go check out Jesse's list over at LAist.  Got any comments for this one "ginslinger"?

You can check out Jesse's band The Deadly Syndrome on MySpace or buy their album on iTunes.

Fidel forgot to post a couple things, so here it goes:

This latest installment of Wham Commercial Jams is called "Pogo" by Digitalism. This is a bold statement, but I'm going to go ahead and say it, this song/commercial combo is the best I've seen to date and will be tough to top. The song is featured in three Pontiac commercials: "Details" featuring Pontiac's 2008 G6 GXP Coupe, Solstice GXP Roadster, and Torrent GXP Crossover, "GXP G6" featuring the 2008 G6 GXP Street Edition, and "Halo" which features the 2008 G6 GXP Street Edition and a tie in with the much anticipated Halo 3. There's a sweepstakes to win the Halo inspired Pontiac G6 GXP Street Edition in the photo below. Look for these commercials Saturday's during college football. And for the more artistically inclined, also check out this site for more information on the "Details" video design.

Greetings my fellow flapjackers.  As your Minister of Auditory Pleasures, I'm proud to introduce a new addition to wedoiteverymonth: Wham Commercial Jams!  They will appear periodically to inform you about worthy commercial songs - you know, the ones that get stuck in your head but you can't figure out who sings them, but you whistle them under your breath anyways when you're walking places or looking at internet porn...  To ensure quality, potential jams will be screened by the Minister of Athletics who will determine if they are in fact Wham Commercial Jams!  I invite you all to browse our first WCJ below.  Click the links to view the commercial, download the jam, or learn more about the artist.  Cheers.
