Happy St. Patty's day. Maybe today I will start a fight because that's the kind of mood I'm in. Have you ever checked out the Sacto's top 25 website? Here's a link (I just figured out how to do that linking thing yesterday). I tried to join it when I saw the four eyes site was on there but I couldn't figure out how to insert their little website graphic into my template. So I gave up. But there are some other sites that profess to be about Sacramento and they are horrible. Here are two: http://www.sactosaurus.com/ and http://www.sacramentolifestyle.com/ This is the sixth most popular site: http://www.cursetheconscious.com/ I can't understand the point of it and it doesn't seem to be about Sacramento. One of the top sites is retrocrush, which is fun to read. I read the whole interview with the actress who played Nellie on little house on the prairie on a slow day at work. A good Sacto site that isn't on the top 25 is cockeyed.com.

Christian Kiefer has an article in the SN&R today justifying his bad reviews. Well, not justifying how poorly written they are, just the fact that he sometimes gives negative reviews. I do find this refreshing, and a nice change from the hyperventilating of Alive and Kicking where every band is the best band ever! Perhaps one of my musician friends with an axe to grind can explain his or her beef with C.K. I've heard it explained that it's not so much that he is sometimes negative, it's that his criticisms and comparisons often aren't valid. Anyone? I know one example is his recent "local CD round-up" type column which just rambled on without reviewing any of the CDs and told how he tossed each one against the wall after listening to it for only a few moments. It was completely pointless and confusing. I can't find that in the archives to link.
