I hardly read at all with Derby and Wedding planning. The Dirt, the Motley Crue bio was great, though. So that.

God, I hate myself - did I really not find any new music?!?! I bought the Hold Steady and liked it. Locally, I liked the Selmanaires (hardly a discovery) and Warm in the Wake. A band called The Booze played New Years Eve, and I'll look into them more.
