I see what you did there.

Your loss. One of the good tracks on WTA

Westerberg and Stinson. hmmm.. One of my all time favorite bands, but I can't think of any moments where they really clicks as a guitar duo. Atkins and Paul. One of the best damn guitar albums ever recorded. A thought: Slash & Izzy Stradlin?

YES!

They suck, but the worst. I mean, Backstreet Boys, Poison, Winger, Right Said Fred. Come on. There are many greater offenses.

This! Also Robert Quine and Matthew Sweet on Girlfriend. Love the interplay between the guitars on that LP. Clapton and Allman on Derek & the Dominoes. Clearly Bob & Jerry. Neil Young & Danny Whitten.

He needs to branch out, and started doing that with Fantastic Mr. Fox, but I love his singular vision. Royal Tenenbaums may be my favorite movie 1. RT 2. BR 3. RM 4. LA 5. FMF 6. DL

This really sucks. Definitely a dying breed. I hope the Tigers beat my Twins tonight in his honor. Just hope we don't then up losing the division by a game.

Discovered while setting my DVR for Ferguson: DirecTV is doing Freeviews of Wilco at Farm Aid during the 1st half of May on ch. 101.

I think I could give up TV except for sports, especially football. Having said that, since we have a tv, I watch a buttload more than I should. Lots of series, news, daily show, on and on.

Banks is usually good for a nice, light, cheerful beach read.

Couldn't agree more, except for Before Sunrise and Before Sunset. Absolutely love those movies. If you watch Parenthood, the teacher character is an annoying Ethan Hawke wannabe.

The Twinkies are off to a good start on the road. A good thing as Target Field probably won't provide the home field advantage that the dome did.

So Brett Favre is a grandpa.

I've got to promote a guy who went to my high school. This is his 3rd novel (following What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and An Ocean in Iowa - both excellent). He also directed Pieces of April and Dan in Real Life. I'm about 1/2 way through and it is very good. Thematically he's a lot like Tom Perrotta and this story seems to have elements of Election and Little Children.

The Onion weighs in on this topic.

Capturing the Friedmans is one of the most captivating movies I've ever seen. Still can't make sense of it.

My Flying Saucer (does this count?) at a bar tonight.

That is crazy, but how many districts would've pushed to move lots of kids into spec. ed. just to keep them out of NCLB standards?

It's the best we could do, we're getting dumber.

I am very sad today. Maybe even more sad than when I learned about Jay.
