Dear Transfer:

Dear Transfer:

I'm sorry for missing your show in Sacramento. I know it's not often a city like Sac Town gets such a great band rolling through their local bars and I know I go on and on about how much Lori and I love you and how we basically discovered you and how one day when you're super famous we'll tell everyone how we were OG fans and we just hate that you sold out to the man like you did, but you see, I have a child and a husband and things are just always slipping my mind lately so I completely forgot to head on down to The Old Ironsides and get my Transfer fix.

Needless to say I've been listening to to Faded Signal, thinking about the good old days, and promising myself to get back on top of my Transfer worshipping duties.

I'm so glad to hear that you are playing at The Ken Club on New Years Eve. I remember when Lori and I went to see you there and we watched all these little girls stand in front of the stage and gaze up at you, we giggled, because we are the OG Transfer groupies as well.

Look out Ken Club, the boys are coming.

December is all About Lists: San Diego Blogs I Actually Read

*Yep, we're getting list happy on My San Diego Blog, because it's the end of the year and as previously noted, just because. So strap on your opinionated opinion glasses, because it's okay if you disagree, that's the point to a good list any way (IMHO). And then leave your better lists in the comments (if you so dare!).*

*The 5 San Diego Blogs I'm Reading* 2007

The San Diego Blogging scene can at times feel like a club you can only get in to if you like local music and the inner workings of Kensington Hipsters. Mantra: screw the beach, we've got coffee shop to hangout at. Still, what it really means is that there is still a lot of room in the San Diego blogosphere, a lot of non music related room actually.

5. Street. also known as wearesandiego.com
The Union Tribunes Entertainment Blog (they have a lot of other blogs too, a news blog, a news that isn't news but they still want to talk about it blog, a blog about sports etc.). It's all about entertainment, not necessarily San Diego centric. Sure they didn't hire me (what, huh? yep, I had a chance to be a streeter) but I'm not bitter, I still checkout a good Hills recap now and again (or find out who I should be talking crap about this week).
Best: Street People - for the comments and the hard hitting questions that serve up a nice picture of some really important hip and trendy type person.
Worst: Street People - for the comments and the hard hitting questions that serve up a nice picture of some really important hip and trendy type person.

4. Cat Dirt Sez
Music, music, witty commentary, music, Golden Hill, music, law, law, news, sarcasm, music, music, punchline, music...
Best: He wrote a My San Diego Feature!
Worst: And then didn't call us in the morning! Whatever, we're too good for him, yeah, too good.

3. SD Dialed In
I once wrote to Rosemary and asked if she'd want to do a guest feature for My San Diego Blog. She never wrote back. Rejected by the San Diego Blogosphere again! (Sure she's got a blog to edit, an article to write, and a day job, but still). We soldier on.
Best: Ain't nobody gonna tell you more about San Diego Music then Ms. Thang.
Worst: Not that we're bitter, but we're still waiting to hear back, not that we're bitter, or needy.

2. Last Blog on Earth
I must admit I rarely check San Diego City Beat'sBlog but for when I am at a loss for information or when it dawns on me that I haven't checked it in a while. But when I do it does provide for a chuckle, or two.
Best: Or three.
Worst: Four.

1. Voice of San Diego
They would probably call this a website but I'm putting it down as a blog (so there). Often times I am enamoured with their ability to constantly put out a bunch of original content. (Not that summarizing and commenting other people's original content isn't a VERY VALID WAY of doing this blog thing).
Best: It's a grown up blog for grown up people.
Worst: Yeah, and who's a grown up?
