Looking Back On A Week Where We Got Ready To Ride The Dolphins One More Time

• We learned that Chinese Democracy has been ready since December. Only 49 Tuesdays left in 2008, guys!
• Delilah speaks! She may be the only person in the world who isn’t sick of that Plain White T’s song.
• American Idol got spoiled, sexless, and stupid.
• The Grammys got The Time, and they may give the world a Michael Jackson sighting.
• Spin tested the United States’ anglophilia.
• Some old guy was confused by Pitchfork’s newfangled ways.
• We learned that Dave Mustaine has an endless supply of bass jokes to go with his anti-UN rants.
• The people handing out the Oscar nominations love music by Alan Menken. And no one else.
• It’s the middle of winter, which means that it’s summer-festival-news season: Coachella brought the yawns, while Vineland bit the big one.
