  1. It was weird. It's over 5 years old. Ryan Adams doing "Black Sheets of Rain". Now that's something worth sharing
  2. I agree with asparagus pee. My coffee pee is clear and odorless, so far as I can tell.
  3. Not many in Des Moines. Sometimes at intersections and interstate interchanges. I don't think the neediest people panhandle, so I give money to charity. Many years ago, a couple of panhandlers got in a bad fight over "turf". Charges were filed, articles were written. One of the guys told the paper how much he typically made working this spot. His take home pay was more than mine at the time. He certainly could have been exaggerating, but it really rubbed me the wrong way.
  4. Yeah, pretty much. One of the main premises of the tea party is that compromise is failure. Politics is compromise. They are, and will always be, nothing but obstructionists. If they had control of all 3 branches, they would obstruct themselves. Fuck 'em.
  5. The tea party wing of the Republicans will be nearly as hostile to Christie as they are to Obama.
  6. Lock the thread. Atticus nailed it.
  7. So if your sleeping companion wanted the right side, would that be a deal breaker, or would you just forego spooning?
  8. All time is a really long time. I'm guessing you haven't heard them all.
  9. I'm not sure why, but time and context is important. WWII is okay, but on War on Terror shit seems highly inappropriate. Though I know a veteran of Iraq who loves these games. It's crossed my mind that they might even provide a release to avoid PTSD for him.
  10. Dammit. No one handed me any homebrew last night!
  11. This never happens in my line of work.
  12. Definitely a VU style on that song. Didn't tie it directly to Waiting for the Man, but it makes sense.
  13. Here too, Scott. Sometimes it's nice knowing that your musical idols aren't widely known. You can get closer to them and it's like you're in on some kind do secret. Today, though, I wanted to turn on the radio and hear every station mourning Lou with marathons of his music.
  14. I think I may be happy with Roadrunner on repeat for the rest of my life.
  15. Discovering Lou Reed and VU, mostly through Bowie and cooler, older friends changed my musical landscape like nothing else.
  16. I wonder if the FedEx gut knows he's my dealer. And the bit about Pringles was originally going to be a tennis ball company, but they delivered potatoes instead of rubber and said WTF, lets make chips.
  17. Well obviously Weezer. I mean, they're good and all, but 2nd highest rated album? Please.
  18. I don't think there's any consensus of the long view of history. It's nice(and sometimes quite easy) to see things that way when there's movement in a direction you like. There could almost always, though, be a well supported opposing point of view.
  19. You could be talking about ACA or drones here, or the NSA's spying program.
  20. Competition lowers prices, but adding a legal requirement increases demand which could more than offset the decrease. Fundamental. Prices may eventually go down by adding healthier people to the pool, but my point is there are several economic forces at work here.
  21. err... weight. And I first typed wait. I've lost a shit ton of sleep and brain cells.
  22. My wife just got a t-shirt that says I
  23. I listened to No Line on the Horizon. Probably the 2nd time I listened to it. Not bad.
  24. Okay, you're no longer dead to me. Anyone who says the Beatles are overrated has no concept of history. Period. Look at rock music in 1963 and what it was by 1970. Their willingness to pioneer Dylanesque, psychedelic, and experimental music and put their popularity on the line in doing so forever changed EVERYTHING in pop music.
