Funny, when I read the title of this thread, this is the book that came to mind. Maybe I am just not smart enough, but this one was not for me. By the way, some of favorite novels listed here: Confederacy of Dunces Moby Dick A Catcher in the Rye The Fountainhead Great Expectations On the Road

Forgot about these. Love them. Especially Sideways.

What ridiculously perfect LP

The Avett Brothers: Tiny Desk Concert from NPR Pretty cool...

Went to my local used record store and picked up these gems:

Last night I went to see "An Evening With David Sedaris". Very very cool. I have read quite a few essayists (David Rakoff, Sarah Vowell, Chuck Klosterman) and David is without a doubt the best author of this type of work today. His ability to combine humor, realism and poignancy is just awesome. If you have not read a DS book yet, please do yourself a favor and pick one up. I'd suggest "Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim".

I love Dylan's duet with Roger McGuinn on "Knockin On Heaven's Door" for the Rolling Thunder Live 1975 record. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTZwlXih5ME

ok... I'll say it... SPIDERS

I always thought the regular flying V was god-awful. This is hands down the ugliest guitar ever.

Good ... Not great. Pales in comparison of ... well ... everything on Emotionalism (and 2nd Gleam).

Avett Brothers The Second Gleam EP for $0.99 Worth it for "Murder in the City" alone.

Despite Gibby's well-deserved derision, I still am GASing or a Les Paul, an ES-335 and a Hummingbird. I really like the natural top Bird at Fullers:

I never watched the show, but recently began watching them all in order (online is great!). I am up to the last episode of Season 4. Let me offer this one humble observation about the show: It was fantastic from the discovery of the Hatch to the Implosion of the Hatch - everything since is kinda "meh". It got a little too convoluted with the Others, The Freighter, Widmore, etc. (IMHO YMMV of course)

It is just that this hits a little close to home. Not to get to personal, but I am currently participating in an interracial marriage and it really pisses me off to think that I could have been denied marrying my soul mate (sorry for corny phrase, but it works) due to some asshole's hangup. BTW, isn't our president the offspring of an interracial marriage? Didn't a lot of people accept him during the election? The empirical evidence does not seem to support his viewpoint. I really hate when people try to cover up their prejudice by citing some tenuous and/or untrue issue. I would have r
