Lyle Lovett, Skinny Puppy, and more bands we were too lazy to mock
We can't even find it in ourselves to make fun of this guy.
More Just Announced
Generally, we at The A.V. Club like to use this mindless little chunk of Internet space known as Just Announced as a place to exercise our snarkiest music-critic muscles—we like finding (or fabricating) a theme within each week's show postings, which subsequently allows us pick on rabid fans of Daughtry, or make gross generalizations about concert-goers and their hygiene habits (or lack thereof). This week, we've got nothing. No funny quips about the music dads rock out to, no mean things to say about underage, screamo-loving suburbanites. Just a nice, long list of upcoming concerts.

And the weekly vid pick: We could have taken the easy route and made fun of MC Chris and his ultra-nerdcore following. But we didn't. Here's a fan-produced video for the rapper's "Nrrd Grrrl."
