Fourteen Oh My Rockness Resolutions for 2008:

January 10, 2008

1. Stop going to so many sold-out shows. They're becoming too safe.

2. Start going to more sparse shows. Those are the dangerous ones.

3. Use the free "My Rockness" feature more. It rocks almost as hard as Daniel Day.

4. Stop making fun of the Oh My Rockness programmer so much.

5. Think of a better word for "showlist." Any word will do. Maybe "kewllist."

6. Make Oh My Rockness belt buckles. If Justice can rock them, why can't we?

7. Just because a show has a free hour of liquor, it doesn't mean we've automatically signed ourselves up for some kind of great race.

8. Learn to live with anonymous music blog comments until they go the way of the Discman and the Gigapet.

9. Cough up the three dollars and use the venue's coat check more often. See if they'll accept Neutral Milk Hotel fanny packs at a discount.

10. At least once at a show, do what the singer tells us to do. Like, "Everyone dance to this next song!" or, "Everyone clutch your pits, crouch down, and quack like a duck to this one!"

11. Start a band that RULES so that the maxim, "Those who can't do start music websites" will no longer hold true for us.

12. Stop laughing at publications that still use "skinny jeans" and "beards" as cultural reference points.

13. Buy more skinny jeans. Grow a beard. Make a quiche.

14. Go see The Walkmen, White Rabbits, John Vanderslice and William Elliott Whitmore play next week.
