Best Punk Show: Once again I prove that I’m too old to be trusted. The Mutants reunion. I hadn’t seen them in 15 years and they looked like social studies teachers but they were great.

Best Book I Read this Year for the First Time: Southland by Nina Revoyr. A mystery set in LA which touches on the Watts riots, forced relocation of Japanese Americans, Japanese-Black race relations, Los Angeles’s histories, myths and mysteries, and much more. I don’t know what to make of the main character’s lesbian relationships because they read as almost tacked on, but the rest of the book I loved.

Most Interesting Movie: Gallant Girls Finally a movie about ‘80s anarcha-feminists and of course it’s by the Germans. Not perfect by any means, but interesting and nostlgia-producing for some of us.

Album of the Year: Rockin’ out with the hip hop cop . It’s years old, but I finally found a copy after "Powder" became the official SFPD war-demonstration PR guy.

Overplayed Song of the Year: In Da Club by 50 Cent. My official favorite pop song of the year. In the tradition of "The Thong Song" and "Hott in Herre" it’s a slightly embarrassing song that I always love hearing. I love pop music even when it’s harmful. I’m sure that faggot line is actually a statement about 50 Cent’s inner turmoil over donning a hateful mask of masculinity in order to survive and prosper in this world.

So Entertainment Weekly named "In Da Club" the #1 single of the year with the following reasoning, "if it's got a hook that any five year old can latch onto it's going to be a hit." I don't know what to make of that. :)

Did you see the Rocket from the Tombs reunion show? They had broken up before I was even born. The club was filled with people in their 30's and other middle aged folks. It was great.
