Rumblings: The Dorks Shall Rise Again
>>> Oh snap, we almost missed this: 2007 Pew Grant recipients have been notified, and this seems like the most wildly different pack yet. King Britt, Jamie Robinson, Kate Watson Wallace and more each nab $50K and if only for this one year all get to tell their parents to shut the fuck up. Good on ya, Pews — the class of ‘07 doesn’t stink at all. [Inky]
>>> And while we have the attention of you freaks and geeks, a quick reminder: Wizard World is this weekend. Not like we know what that is. [WizardUniverse]
>>> Wondering what the, uh, cool kids have been up to? We don’t know anything about that. But we DO know there was an EMO RIOT AT THE DEPTFORD MALL. [NBC10 via FunVampires]
BONUS ROUND: Our dorkus malorkus beat would not be complete if we forgot to tell you that Bob Mould (pictured, wrestling afficianado, used to be in some band called Hoosker Doo or something) has just been added to the Y-Rock lineup at the XPonential Fest. With Cracker. And Fountains Of Wayne. And Ruder Than You. Heynow. [Xpn]

Sad days when 10NBC can distinguish the difference between a riot and a mosh pit gone lame, while Philebrity and FunVampires basically offer hip paraphrases of “kids today” school marmery. Sad. This is what happens when you’re self-admitted too old to go out on Wednesday nights. You lose touch.
