Nothing's Gonna Change My Blogging World

It's like ist, and like that, and like ist, huh? Here's your weekly wrap-up of what's going on across the world, courtest of the Gothamist network.

>>> Austinist: Hey, look, it's interview with one of the best names in rock music. His music is OK, too, but we love love love the name.

>>> Bostonist: Those loveable-then-annoying Boston fans are mourning the loss of Theo Epstein. He didn't sign a contract extension, he's not dead. So the mourning is kind of half-assed. Pat Gillick, woo!

>>> Chicagoist: We automatically link any posts that mention the word flesh, even if there is no flesh to be seen. Teases.

>>> Londonist: Londonist had a birthday party. We didn't receive an invitation in the mail, so we're gonna bitch about Londonist behind their backs..

>>> LAist: MySpace is launching their own record label. Gee, we certainly hope they sign all of those rinky-dink bands we never heard of who constantly invite us to their group. We're looking at you, Orange Fire, or whatever you're called..

>>> Miamist: A man dressed up a kickboxing dummy in a Miami Dolphins jersey and drove with it in the carpool lane. Joke 1: We thought they only did this in sitcoms. Joke 2: Why would A.J. Feeley submit himself to something like this?

>>> Gothamist: Mmm, pretty pictures.

>>> Parisist: It's in French and it has boobies. If you're at work you should avoid this, unless your work is a French office where you're paid to appreciate boobies.

>>> SFist: Could you imagine if the ACME/AC-A-ME tried to cut down plastic bags? There would be riots in the streets of Northeast Philadelphia. Wait wait, they would just make more paper bags. And dig into their closets for their stored up collections of ACME plastic bags.

>>> Shanghaiist: The message across the Gothamist network is clear: plastic sucks.

>>> Seattlest: Students walked out of classes in Seattle to protest war and racism, and Seattlest has pictures to prove it. We're not sure what that kid in the 4th picture is doing with his skateboard, but we're sure it looks pretty dangerous. Or rad. Yeah, maybe it's just rad.

>>> Toronoist: Canada has gangs? Canada has Rudy Giuliani?

>>> DCist: We saw people selling these in Center City, but didn't post about it. Fortunately, DCist isn't lazy.
