I know, I know. I promised that godforsaken Best of 2008 list two days ago. And it's still not done. Things have been nuttier than usual the last couple of days. But I swear I'll have it up before I write my Best of 2009 post, guaranteed. Actually, I'm hoping later today or tomorrow morning. We shall see.

In the meantime, here's a little nugget of poppy-as-fuck shenanigans from Plattsburgh's Hello Control called "Hear You Sing," sent to me by the Howlerman himself, Jeff Howlett. Kinda reminds me of Weezer's "Buddy Holly" video, if updated for the soundtrack of the next American Pie flick (AP7: Donkey Punch, I believe). Anyhoo, here it is, in all its unfettered, saccharine pop-punk glory. Enjoy.
