(Yes, I’m still angry about my iPod dying exactly one month after the warranty […]

Earlier, I posted a totally sweet Temple of the Dog reunion vid. But then today, I saw this: It’s Official: Soundgarden Reuniting! | Spin Magazine Online. All I can say is that I am hella amped. My 11- to 17-year-old self (after all, they did break up in ’97) is rejoicing at the news, so […]
