RIFF MARKET

Riff Market Presents:
"Status Ain't Hood: Quarterly Report: Riffs"
November 2006



THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE RIFFS

01. Assman parodies Tom Breihan. "Yung Artist is a slippery wordplay wrangler out of Greenville with a hypnotic rasp that stomps with brutal authority."

02. There are some sweet new rules to this music called indie rock. I.e., this is how a pair of insipid thirtysomething shitsmokers get paid to write blog posts about how all you indie-rock hangers-on are getting paid, the irony completely lost on them.

03. I go that Knife show. You better believe I have some thoughts about that Knife show!

04. Chris Ott teaches Decemberists how to pronounce the word "ya burnt." More thoughts here.

05. I googled 'Ghost Dad' and found a new band I like. Googling 'I Spy Returns' comes at the price of your face exploding.

06 The Fuzzy Politics of 'No Homo'. A must-read for both homos and no-homos.
