Here's why:
- Nothing important has happened regarding basketball since the gold medal game. The biggest "story" since then has been that Shaq's going to retire in 2 years. Can somebody get Ben Gordon to do something rash and hilarious?
- My favorite college football team, the Michigan Wolverines, is terrible. On the plus side, at least they're really funny to watch.
- My favorite professional football team, the Chicago Bears, are a house of cards. They're relying on an aging defense, rookie running back, and Kyle Orton. This can't end well.
- There hasn't been a decent rap release since Murs and 9th Wonder released their tape. And outside of "Nina Ross," that wasn't great by any means.
- The recent rap singles that have been leaked ("Swagger Like Us," "Love Lockdown," "Jockin' Jay-Z") have been interesting until you actually hear them. Then you listen to it and nothing.
- I can't remember the last time a rock release has been that interesting. Not since I got Dodos from Weiss has anything of recent vintage stayed playing.
All this makes for a fairly lackluster month. BUT, the NBA starts in October. That's not so bad.

Times like this, I generally reach backward for entertainment/cool stuff ... you might not be hitting something new, but you may be able to discover new appreciation for something old.
This likely means something different for everyone, but in the past month I've revisited:
- Gang Starr's "Full Clip";
- Liz Phair's "Exile in Guyville";
- And the excellent film "Just One of the Guys."
I can heartily recommend all of them.
I'm all about P-Funk, Sly Stone, and Biggie right now. I'm not complaining about that.
At least your fiancee's teams are awesome.
