So does When Doves Cry.

How can anyone who was alive during the '80s not know that Prince is a fantastic guitarist?

Prince sneaking in a bit of a Foo Fighters song ... that was a bit odd, I thought.

While you were around Kiefer, did he ever yell at anyone to "Put down the weapon"? Better yet, did he torture anyone? Because that would have been cool.

The evil Rex showed up, in the second half anyway. Oh well. I don't hate the Colts, so I'm not too upset by this. Peyton on the other hand...

"Fucked up," is what I'd call that.

All seven of the SI "experts" picked the Colts.

Was he the Pink Floyd guy? How quickly I forget.

The covers album was one of those contractual obligation things, I think. I'm pretty sure that Painting It Red got a U.S. release, but I think with a somewhat different track listing. Not sure about Gaze or Superbi.

Yeah, we must be reading different media. Every "expert" prediction I've seen so far has gone the Colts' way.

I'm going to go on the record and predict a Bears win on Sunday. I'm not supremely confident about this prediction, but the overwhelming consensus that they don't seem to have a chance is the surest sign (to me) that there's an upset in the making. Of course, being a lifelong Bears fan probably also has something to do with it. Bears 23, Colts 20

I think he has the *potential* to become a tyrant, but for now he's wildly popular. I'm uneasy about this latest development, though. Absolute power corrupts absolutely, or so they say.

"Recent version of Windows" damn well better not mean Vista.

My shuffler is doing yeoman's work this morning. The first 25... R.E.M. - Fall On Me David Bowie - Quicksand (demo version 1971) Calexico - Dub Latina Whiskeytown - Things I Heard Sitting Bull - Too Many Stops Neko Case - Rated X Glenn Tilbrook - Up the Creek Buffalo Springfield - Leave The Chamber Strings - Make It Through the Summer Wilco - The Late Greats (Live - State Theater, Kalamazoo 2/26/05) Delaney & Bonnie - I Don't Want to Discuss It Cowboy Junkies - You Will Be Loved Again Buffalo Springfield - My Kind of Love (outtake) Spoon - The Way We Get By Belle & Sebastian -

clicky 'Tis a shame. I loved Heaton's solo record, though, so that's encouraging. The last TBS album was still pretty good, but certainly wasn't up to their early standard.

I'm not going to get all pissy and defensive over Bragg, but I honestly cannot fathom exactly where you got that idea.

There aren't many artists I can say this about, but I'm actually a bigger Billy Bragg fan than I am a Wilco fan. I loved Man in the Sand. I'm currently getting started on Bragg's memoir (The Progressive Patriot).

What the hell, I'm game. I clicked.

What, no Danelectro?

That's what I've been thinking too. I've thought since the moment it happened in book 6 that they were faking his death.
