Because I missed it, all right?
Quelle est votre nouvelle scène?
The station bumpers are so cheesy (NOUVELLE SCENE!), but for whatever reason, I am loving, loving, loving this French indie rock web radio station Europe 2 Nouvelle Scene. Like an addiction. And I don't even know French! It's just that good.

Goody Goody
I can't believe that it took me this long to finally eat at the Goody Goody Diner. Got a cheeseburger, hashbrowns, half a Belgian waffle, all fab. A little farther west on Natural Bridge, I checked out Leonard's TV & Video. Big place, and $1 rentals?! Lots of used videos for sale even cheaper than at the Record Exchange - it basically tops out at $9, but there are plenty for cheaper, including older stuff for a buck apiece. I picked up a copy of the Calexico concert DVD for $5. Not too shabby.
Speaking of the "stay out crackheads" house...
The Post-Dispatch just finally printed a big investigative article talking about its owner, and how he may have collaborated with state legislature on an amendment that may reward him to the tune of tens of millions of tax dollars for its swell upkeep! Take a looksie!
(Or don't, because clearly, it's that blasted scrutiny from those golddurn critics that's preventing Blairmont from performing basic maintenance on its properties!)

The last eight minutes of Venezuela's oldest TV station, RCTV (Radio Caracas Television), and the first few seconds of its state-owned replacement TVes on May 27-28. The Venezuelan government declined to renew their broadcasting license, due to their support for the 2002 coup attempt against Hugo Chavez, and for their lack of coverage of Chavez regaining power. A week of protests has followed.
