Huge fan. He's put out consistently listenable records for almost thirty years. He's great live, too. His debut is one of my all-time favorite records. Not a bad track on it. Not even a middling track. Everything's great. Would love to have seen him playing Lennon in Beatlemania. Maybe there's film.

Only Republicans voted "yes." Anyone surprised?

The Shazam - Revolution 9 (The Beatles)

Good luck with that. It's called "the free market," and not only is such pricing perfectly acceptable and legal in this economy, it's actively encouraged under the free market system. The law of supply and demand, yadda yadda yadda.

:wub So many awesome things about that video.

Badass Of The Week

OK, I'm having trouble clearing the cobwebs this morning and my brain isn't firing on all cylinders, but ... TKOL? edit: Oh, that Radiohead thing. Meh.

It is a good song. Back then, however, I worked in an office that had Top 40 radio on all the time, and that song dominated the airwaves for what seemed like a whole year (or more) ... so I'm still a little burnt out on it.

"one-hit wonder"

Absolutely. Wish I'd thought of this one for the incongruous thread.

The Stones covered by The Faces (featuring a future Stone): Stewart's voice is well suited to this one.

Neil's opener will be Bert Jansch!

This is an overly simplistic summation of the way things might work if the wealthy actually put their money into creating more jobs. But mostly they don't -- they "keep more of their own money." As in, they don't spend it. Money flows uphill from the poor to the rich, and when it gets to the top of the hill it stops. The consumer spending that drives the economy comes from the middle class, but the middle class is shrinking rapidly as the jobs go away, and the wealthy are not doing much to stem that tide.

Now I wish he'd signed with the Yankees.

I was only skimming, but did I just see multiple pages of bickering about cleaning up the capitol? Please tell me that was just my imagination.

Eddie and Dave have always seemed like douches, but neither can hold a candle to Sammy, in my opinion. I'm just happy that I got to see DLR fronting VH, even if it was 25 years too late.

Don't forget Huevos and Mirage.

Saw them last night. Shane made it through OK, and it was a great show.
