Walking to Martha's Vineyard -Franz Wright & about fourty other books.

Rapper Bow Wow, Diane Kruger, Claudia Schiffer, Deepak Chopra, Seal and others will be featured in the Gap's "Holiday In Your Hood" print campaign, which launches in December in publications like Rolling Stone, Lucky, Vogue, Vanity Fair and others.

Deepak Chopra?

There is a whole mess of stuff on the Gap site. You can have the complete lyrics to Common's "Holiday in the Hood" and behind the scenes footage! Then you can go buy some clothes! Because how could you not want to buy clothes that sponsor Peace and Love (and themselves)?

Has anyone used indietorrent? If so, how does it compare to oink?

Being the significant other of an avid IT user, I'd say it's a quality site. Not a big, vast pool of everything like Oink. A narrower, high quality selection that depending on your taste can be a goldmine. Good community there too.

Pretty durned great, I'd say.

Their "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" is an awesomely hyper take that really promotes a sense of discomfort, urgency, and nervousness that can be characteristic of "getting no satisfaction." My palms sweat just thinking of it! (Cat Power's version is a viable route as well, as one could experience a mellow sort of blueness with not getting any girl reaction. Britney Spears' cover is just all whored up and pointless.)

Devo= A+++ all the way.

80.6

I was thrown at first as well...but I'll settle for my "Excellent musical abilities."

1. What did you do in 2006 that you'd never done before?

Serious grieving

2. Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year?

I didn

I definitely vote this thread in as funniest thread ever.

Tweedy at the State of the Union Address

 

"I appreciate the cheering and the standing, but I'm trying to give the best speech I can give you guys, would it be so hard for you to just sit down and shut up for once in your fucking lives??"

So funny I had to call folks over to read it.

Well done!

Damn! I was hoping Jeff would do a Rocky Horror cover!

 

Actually, I could picture him doing a mean "Hot Patootie."

Rocky Horror was my first thought as well...it being Halloween season and all.

"Toucha, toucha, toucha, touch me, I wanna be dirrrty..." The JT solo version?

A possibility?

No?

Oh, okay.

Dig the cool kid shirt.

Because they profiled it on NPR.

The most recent episode was funny as all get out.

Half of the time, the writing is just so bad it's good.

Dexter is a schexyish anti-hero.

Shot in the Arm

 

here's Shot in the Arm

 

if you search VH1.com for wilco, you'll find some more videos

Whoa. The music video format is such a strange thing, not just in a Wilco context, just altogether strange.

Dig those Tweedy thighs though. Meeoooww...

(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher by Jackie Wilson gives me perma-grin.

Hmmm... not got into the Damien Rice thing, but might give that a listen...

 

For me this dark and cold morning:

A bird theme?

2059 download speed, running xp, got the quicktime, got nothing going

Not working for me...

Damned me for preordering, damned me to hell...now I have to wait 7-10 days (or whatever it is---it's eternity)

Kimya Dawson---Remember That I Love You

I have to add Eef Barzelay and/or Clem Snide.

You should ebay them!

See ebay item #s

250039869501

and

I'm ebay addicted--a genuine, "ebaddict" even.

"All I do is fart and swear, scratch my balls, play guitar, sleep and drink forty Diet cokes a day," he says after an audience member proposes. "Is that sexy?"

He left out write mind-blowingly wonderful things. I could go for a man like that.
