traditional media linky

A couple of noteworthy links for your mid-evening interweb surfing pleasure:

My man Luke Winn from Sports Illustrated continues to support great music (Sound Team, Midlake) and slightly-above average blogs in his Inside College Basketball column. Trust me, Winn and his column get more traffic than the somewhat insular blogosphere, so he's essentially introducing these bands to a whole new crowd. Thanks, man, it's much appreciated.

Also, VH1's Best Week Ever is searching for bands for its Soundtrack to The Best Week Ever podcast. Before you scream "sell-out", consider the fact that BWE offers one of the few intelligent, funny, relevant perspectives on pop culture in the world today. Plus, your music will get heard by like a million people, and Paul Scheer rules, so there's that too. Bands, submit your music here.
