that is a fantastic picture

how fantastic and rare it is for a band to have three such distinct and talented guitar players it's difficult for me to decide whom to listen to in their tunes these days, not to mention throwing in john, mikael and glenn.

about 2/3s through that--thanks again for the recommendation. It's fascinating.

Getting George W. Bush elected, TWICE, makes him a threat not to be ignored in my book. I can tell you that it wouldn't shock mountain bed to learn that Rove and Cheney enjoy a nice live puppy appetizer in the evening along with their scotch.

I am positive that if bob dylan had never been born, jeff tweedy would still exist, in the most literal sense. Since I haven't read the whole thread, has anyone distinguished songwriting from lyric writing? No one will best dylan's lyric composition, but I have to admit, out of the recorded libraries of both artists, there is only a small few of jeff's songs that I would skip. There are dozens if not a hundred dylan tunes that I can respect on a certain level, but don't find to be as complete "songs" as jeff has written. Really doesn't matter. It's all about taste anyway.

I think it is clear to most americans that if the democrats take the white house the terra-ists have finally won, seeing how the republicans have the only true on-the-job experience at producing, promoting and performing a war on terra.

happy birthday calexico :party

or the Spears family

Agreed. I thought that was kind of a weak storyline. If she's settled financially why not just expose the bastard for all the misdeeds he has authorized/directed--I realize this would be uber-disrespectful in their culture, etc., but Christ, buying a controlling interest in [the supposed equivalent] of GM after a plane crash settlement? pfft.

I will hold off judgment until the Pope weighs in on this controversial decision

"douchebaggery"

my package has not diminished in size or price

Happy Birthday! :party

Better At Weather

Hope you have a great, stress-free birthday, tamala. Miss you guys. :party

charlie wilson's war. would have been better I think without Julia Roberts (I can't watch her and suspend disbelief that it's not just Julia Roberts acting), not that she hasn't done decent work before. Phillip Seymour Hoffman became an "I'll see any movie with ________ in it" actor for me so long ago and it's paid off.

Happy Birthday :party

There Will Be Blood No Country for Old Men

this mindboggling. this recording sounds amazing. Now I know what I'll be listening to for the next month "I usually have people who do this" "Did I bring harmonicas?! I brought more harmonicas than jon popper has in his belt" (from sue) "how do you know they're on their computers that much if you're not on there WATCHING?"

Starting the show on the headphones on the patio in T minus 15 minutes

very grateful thanks for doing this, and for taking the time before and during the show so that we'd have something to remember it by can't wait to get home and hear it...

this makes me dizzy I thought one of desmond's "visions" was seeing charlie drown and claire getting on a helicopter (not that that necessarily means anything...) at least it seems (now that we're past the sappy jack/kate episode) that we may get some real punch in the next few episodes.

an explanation

Although there are moments of classic brilliance in it, the last time I watched caddyshack (granted, I wasn't "adjusted") the movie had some pretty dry spots.
