1. I am going to be emceeing Stereogum and Videogum’s 2008 Gummy Awards Live, taking place this Monday (12/8) at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. It’s really a rock show, with Deerhunter doing a headlining set and Violens and Bell opening. But I’ll also be doing jokes and giving out “real” awards and the Videogum guys will be doing neat stuff too. Buy tickets. It’ll be fun.

2. More of my thoughts on Top Chef: Eater.com: It’s Not Even the Taste, It’s Just the Consistency

3. I did a Best Night Ever for VH1’s BWE.tv last week but I forgot to post it. Whoops! One million sorries!
