So many big indie rock choices to choose from tonight (with now one less than there was) - not good considering I feel like I should not leave home for at least another day or two.
The Sex Pistols embarrassed punk rock on Leno. Then they did it again on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson (kind of boring and horrible) Video below. What else?
"Pretty Vacant"

Thermals filmed a video, play tonight in Brooklyn - win tix
The Thermals recently shot a new video with fans in Portland....
Billed to begin at 2 pm, those on the set (in this case, “set” denotes an alley way off Burnside) didn’t hit their stride until around 3 pm. Up until then the afternoon consisted of sitting on tables and waiting for things to begin.Last night Hutch was a cowboy for Halloween. Tonight (Nov 1, 2007) The Thermals play Warsaw in Brooklyn, NYC. I have three pairs of tickets to give away. To win, e-mail BVCONTESTS@HOTMAIL.COM (subject: Thermals) and tell me what you were for Halloween, and your first and last name for guestlist. Three winners will be picked randomly, awarded a pair of tickets, and emailed confirmation.Soon the band were behind their instruments with director Whitey and a handful of crew filming them perform. It was all very DIY. The crew did take after take of singer/guitarist Hutch Harris singing the same lines, using a CD—the stereo balanced on an overturned shopping cart—to cue each take.
