If something goes wrong, about 5 seconds in the microwave will fix it right up, guaranteed.

Exactly my point. I actually gave up alcohol for Lent. Couldn't handle that with coffee.

Sure, why not just give up beer too??

I feel like I should be getting some money from Aeropress as much as I've exuded my love for it on various social networks. Cheap, easy (for a cup at a time, I still use the autodrip for really quick or large amounts), environmentally friendly, and a DAMN good cup of coffee. Whether you're drinking home roasted or Folgers, it improves upon any other brewing method.

It was $1000 (biggest dollar value in first round).

So any band that ends in a number? Sum 41, Blink 182, etc.

Thanks. Adding the Velvet Underground may have helped, though I suspect it would have only confounded me more.

Is it just me? (The High Price of Wilco)
uncool2pillow replied to sonnyfeeling's topic in Just A Fan
There are 2 factors driving up ticket prices in general, I think. 1) Most importantly, there are enough people willing to pay the price. I just paid $50 to see Jason Isbell. Probably the most I've paid for a non-festival ticket. Having seen Wilco 5 times, I'd think long and hard before paying that much for them. 2) The death of record sales. Musicians have to make a living. Many of my favorite artists seem to be on constant tour. The need to get paid. I am sure Jeff Tweedy makes more than this public school teacher, but I also don't think he and his bandmates live like Mick Jagger or Bono -
If you determine the real answer, please share. Ken Jennings may be my favorite follow on Twitter. Funny as hell.

If my name was Betty Brown, I'd want everyone to simplify their names! Stupid human.

Too lazy to look up... Didn't he walk away 1 class short or something like that? If so, his lack of degree probably won't factor in either positive or negative. To be clear, I think the guy's quote a douche and the way hr demonized teachers was highly fucked up.

If you thought he was teying to make a legitimate abortion argument, which your reply seems to indicate, then it must have been lost on you that he was making the same kind of ridiculous arguments the article made except about the left, not the right.

I think you miss his point.

So Obama vetoed the Keystone Pipeline. I don't give too much of a shit either way. It's not going to change the amount of crude oil we use or transport, it might just be transported a little less safely now, depending upon whom you believe. It's 100% pure politics on both sides. My general thinking on the subject is with oil production way up on this continent and with prices declining, we've got the Arab states on the ropes economically. With true energy independence, we could deal with Saudi Arabia and the like on our values and national security needs, not our energy needs. Not to downp

The Republican party is making it more and more difficult to nominate a viable candidate. Romney was viable and Bush will be as well, but not after saying a buch of stupid shit to mollify the extremists. I'm about 75% certain this election will be Bush v. Clinton but the parties would be much better represented by Paul/Walker/Jindal/Carson/etc. v. Warren/Sanders

The Octavia Spencer bit is dull, true. But other than that it's probably above average for awards shows in my book. Everything is Awesome was, well, awesome. Questlove and Mark Mothersbaugh sharing the same stage? Damn.

The First Great Song You Heard in Concert
uncool2pillow replied to roadhse ma's topic in Someone Else's Song
First concert was Commodores. I was in 5th grade. So it's probably Brick House, but I don't specifically remember any songs but Three Times a Lady, so... Next concert was The Police. Synchronicity. Assuming the setlist is right, I'd have to say Synchronicity II. Synchonicity I is good, but not great. -

I really enjoy Waking Life. And while School of Rock isn't much of an artistic statement, it's pure joy.

I haven't seen Boyhood yet, but seen nearly everything else he's made. What do you think is his greatest achievement?

I don't want to die in a Super 8 Motel Just because somebody's evening didn't go so well.
