Fun, fun, fun.

It's never too late to look back on the blogs that were.

On Tuesday, Backbeat Online paged through the diary of a DNC party crasher, offered an extensive roundup of new concert announcements and reviewed Cinemocracy Rocks!, featuring sort-of-hometowners Apples in Stereo.

Cafe Society brought us a report by Jason Sheehan live from the MySpace Cafe. Our feline friends at The Cat's Pajamas turned in a Secondhand Sartorialism report on Holly-Kai.

And Demver? Tons of content about the ongoing Democratic National Convention, some of which is featured below. But don't miss our picks for the best DNC signs, a video of 9/11 truther Alex Jones taking on Michelle Malkin, a slideshow of DNC party pics and much, much more. Those who don't understand the past are doomed to repeat it. -- Michael Roberts
