You know those songs that take over your headphones for weeks at a time? Well, the youngest alternative-rocker on the Phillyist staff decided to put all those infectious tunes into a list of 10 - and then 10 more, just because. And for your listening pleasure, yours truly linked to the album versions of those songs (thanks YouTube, for your comprehensiveness) - just click on the song names! I think you'll enjoy this medley of happy, somber, honest, and beautiful songs. And if you don't find three songs that you like, well, you can tell me that I don't know anything about music.

Yes, yes, we know it's nice outside, but the light's not lasting forever. So walk yourself down to the TLA and check out tonight's show: Mute Math with the Cinematics and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin.

Philly-based international retailer Urban Outfitters and indie music publication Filter Magazine have banded together to release the third Give.Listen.Help. benefit CD. The CD will be sold exclusively at the 95 Urban Outfitter retail locations nationally, as well as on their website. $8.99 of the $9.99 cost of the CD will be donated to the Komen Foundation (as long as you buy it between now and March 15th of next year), where the money will be...

Well, we tried. We were so close, too. Damn you, Miami, for preventing an all -ist reunion! Paris even came to the party.

The weeks starts out right when a sucker punch on the field lands Chicagoist in the middle of a Sox/Cubs throwdown and the fists continue to fly in the comments. Despite suburban resident Ms. Pinney's best little try no books will be banned anytime soon and the El is really really gross.

We at Phillyist like editors. In fact, some of us are editors. So we're pretty excited about the Editors show this Saturday night at the Troc. The Editors are the big news out of the UK these days. They already toured with Franz Ferdinand last year, getting people all across the UK and Europe worked up about the cool New Wave sound on their chart-climbing debut album, The Back Room, so now they've decided to come to the US and get us all worked up here.

Franz Ferdinand comes to the Tower Theater tonight with Sons & Daughters and Cut Copy for another one of those good, old-fashioned rock concerts. Yes, the New Pornographers are in town tonight, so you should probably tear your hair out all day trying to decide between the two. What's hilarious is that while you do that, the last remaining tickets will be sold, leaving you stuck with My Chemical Romance. Or, you know, just not going to a concert.

The New Pornographers bring Twin Cinema and the sketchy Neko Case to the Trocadero tonight for one of those rock concert things. No word on whether or not David Cross will be there to boo Case. (Go read the latest issue of MAGNET, kids.)

Gang of Four is a great band. Did you not know that? If not, go get 1979's Entertainment! You won't regret it. And if you do, well, we're just going to delete your e-mail.
