"...and I'm a PC."

But on the bright side, I'm still only 3 years older than Greg Maddux.

I'm seeing (hearing) Spiders in a whole new light. Thanks...

I wonder how long it will be before the good ol' corporate firewall starts blocking YouTube. It can only be a matter of time.

Today I discovered that they've blocked classmates.com. Not that I go in there a lot, but I got an email today that my 25th H.S. anniversary is coming up.

I listened to some commentary this morning on NPR that argued repeatedly that WWIII is already upon us, and has been for about 5-10 years.

Who gets to make the official call of when it's a world war?

Semi-related: I was reading a historical novel set in WW2 a while back, and in it, one of the characters described the conflict as "World War II." Did people fighting in WW2 actually call it that, or did that name only come about later on? I could wiki this, but I'm more interested in the opinions here.

Hey, nice tat.

What I want to know is why the radio edit of A Shot in the Arm is labeled as In a Future Age Alternate Take when you put the cd in itunes.

Because CDDB is full of inaccuracies.

Chevy Chase and Richard Pryor knew it back in 1975.

Stalker.

they took him out after 5

his first start back from injury

Actually Prior pitched against the Nationals on 7/21, going 3.1 innings and giving up 4 hits and 4 runs.

I wonder what kind Lance Bass uses.

You, on the other hand have physical evidence of your hardness, sprouting from your face. "Big night?" Grr, what does it look like.

Seriously, could this be any gayer?

I've got Geek Stink Breath (Green Day) in my head today. Just the chunky riff part.

That is the gayest-sounding list of manly things ever.

I saw that A-Rod interview, and I was kind of impressed with how he handled himself. He doesn't sound bitter or petulant, just maybe a little weary and optimistic that things will turn around. If it were me getting booed, I'd probably be all "get out of my face and let me do my job." But that's me.

Didn't they both die on July 4?

When I hear this line, I think of the two other slang connotations of cherry -- one is virginal (pop the cherry), another is like a pristine classic car (dude, that '32 Ford is cherry). Sweet, virginal, untouched, pristine, they all kind of go together.

Nationals sweep Cubs at RFK. I was there for the third game.

Yeahhh, But it is still really good?

Yup, that it is.

Eponymous

Hotel Arizona is on Being There.

Late to this party -- a coworker just loaned this issue to me and I found the Tweedy write-up:

"We made it, so it's ours to destroy," Jeff Tweedy once said. He was referring to Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot--where the Chicago band reconstructed the songwriter's folk psyche amidst anthemic chaos--but he could be speaking of his career. Emerging from the imploding alt.country of Uncle Tupelo, Tweedy--aided by his iconic weathered, cracking voice--has drawn on deep-rooted Americana while continuously evolving with his musical surroundings. His lyrics match his music, often rhyming word-game surreality ("all these telescopic poems") with pure ache ("it's good to be alone"). Over the years, he's established a vast, moody catalog of introspective rockers ("Pot Kettle Black," "Shot In The Arm") and heartbroken, abstract ballads ("She's A Jar," "Ashes of American Flags"). Since Tweedy hit his stride four albums ago on Being There, he hasn't faltered, and with new songs like "Maybe the Sun Will Shine Today" and "Walken" debuting on Wilco's spring tour, plus the hyper-catchy stream-of-consciousness flow of "The Ruling Class" (From his Loose Fur side project), it appears his prime is far from over.

I was disappointed to see that the editor's didn't list Jay Farrar or Son Volt, but the readers' list put them at #69.
