A pair of pork butts, who shall spend their entire Saturday becoming smoke laden and delightful by evening.

Night of Joy

Today I installed iOS 7.0.2 Today I can once again add songs to my alarm clock Coincidence? I think not.

I hadn't warmed up to them much in the past (tried but it just didn't work for me). I did give this a lunchtime spin on spotify today, and I really like it.

Small world... no, can you PM me that?

No, I did not try that. What else do you recommend?

Yeah, I tried that... but when I click on "pick a song", I get a blank white screen. Also, on my freebie alarm clock app, same kind of thing... the "change music" button does nothing. Both used to work.

Why can't I get my iPhone alarm clock to use a song instead of an annoying tone now that I have "upgraded" to 7.0?

Should I go see The Romantics tonight? It's free but I'm thinking it's gonna be sad sad sad. They gotta be pretty old. I saw them open for Cheap Trick in like 1980. Seriously.

Well that was cumbersome. But successful.

Today I did not load IOS 7 onto my iPhone. It says it needs 5GB of free space to load. Seriously? That's like half my Wilco collection.

The National

Break a leg! Or whatever the appropriate radio good luck saying is.....

How much money do cows really need?

Randy Newman

Does the preseason matter?

Fair enough... but they still have that potential till you boil them and destroy forever their potential tastiness.

Sorry, but there's no point in taking a perfectly tasty peanut and boiling it till it loses both its texture and its flavor. Boiled peanuts are just mushbeans in a shell. Kinda like edamame but with less taste and mushier. Of all the foodthings that come from the south, this is not our finest.

I returned to The United States. (null)

I had a peach on my cereal. I liked that. I will travel to China for the rest of July.

David Byrne & St. Vincent.

Would love to hear what you think of the show. I have tickets for them later in the fall. Haven't seen them before. Very curious to hear what kind of crowd they have... The new record is good, also a bit of a grower for me. Seemed rather samey to me on the first couple listens.

I also don't see it today. I also checked yesterday, and didn't see it then either. Was it in its own little section, or hiding under "stickers, etc" or something? The SS website doesn't list the online sale option anymore... just the list of shops. This would be unfortunate.

The Black Keys with The Flaming Lips. Would rather have it the other way around, but looking forward to both. Looks like the lips are getting 10-11 songs in as the opener, so that'll do. Never seen either of them.

The Big Wheel ain't nobody's poor man's nothing. Those things were the best.
