I prefer Let It Die too. Even before the commercial/SNL, etc., I never listened to the new one much.

Worst Thing He Ever Did For the record, I actually like the Christmas song.

"Somebody Made For Me" by Emitt Rhodes - 2:25 "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" by The Walker Brothers - 3:03 "Walk Away Renee" - The Left Banke - 2:43 or "Pretty Ballerina" - The Left Banke - 2:38 "I Want You Back" - The Jackson 5 - 3:03 "You are the Light" - Jens Lekman - 3:23 "Cemetry Gates" - The Smiths - 2:41 or "This Charming Man" - The Smiths -2:44

Mariano Rivera wants a 4th Year I imagine he'll get it.

I usually don't go too nuts about these lists, but I'm surprised "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" wasn't higher. I like that album a lot less than most, but I've always looked at it as the indie rock album. Also, I would have liked to see YHF placed higher. Like was said earlier though, regardless of what is ranked where, there is a lot of good music on this list.

What are the Red Sox offering? 3 years?

Lowell is still on the Yankees' radar Lowell at first? In the Bronx? What are the odds?

WFAN is reporting 10 years/$275 million. I don't know where they are getting the numbers from.

Yeah, they said $27 Million per year.

Apparently, Bernie Williams did the same thing in 1998. Just when it looked certain he was going to Boston or elsewhere, Bernie told Boras to screw off and went to Steinbrenner on his own to work out a deal to remain in NY.

Mike and the Mad Dog just read an official statement from A-Rod confirming that he did reach out to the Yankees and that he met with the Steinbrenners today. He made no mention of Boras.

I got this off of a blog, so I don't have a direct link, but this is Blender's list of 100 Greatest Indie-Rock albums. Enjoy. 100 The Shaggs - Philosophy Of The World 99 Dream Syndicate - The Days Of Wine And Roses 98 Palace Music - Viva Last Blues 97 The Mekons - Rock 'N' Roll 96 TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain 95 The Dismemberment Plan - Emergency & I 94 Half Japanese - Greatest Hits 93 Big Black - Atomizer 92 Dead Kennedys - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables 91 The Chills - Kaleidoscope World 90 Animal Collective - Strawberry Jam 89 Art Brut - Bang Bang Rock & Roll 8

The original video is disabled so I couldn't watch it and I don't know what Sigur Ros actually said about "selling out." Is this selling out?

That's what I love about A-Rod. He's always thinking about others.

This article blew my mind, man. Everything you thought you knew about A-Rod opting out is wrong. Here's the real deal: NY Times: By Opting Out, A-Rod Really Wants In

Isn't that new Will Smith movie "I Am Legend" the same story as "Omega Man?"

Speaking of 1984, or more generally, the 80's, I wonder if I could find one of these: If I could get my hands on one of these and manage to get service for it, I'm sure I could start an ironic, hipster trend. I've followed plenty, but I have never been able to start one of my own. I think this is my chance to shine and get a star on the Williamsburg Walk of Fame.

1) Jens Lekman - Night Falls Over Kortedala 2) Various Artists - Four Songs by Arthur Russell 3) Justice - Cross 4) David Vandervelde - Moonstation House Band 5) White Williams - Smoke Also, I liked Sound of Silver and parts of Person Pitch. I wish I liked Sky Blue Sky more. There are some good songs there, but it just never managed to hold my interest.

I needed my cell phone twice in emergency situations - 9/11 and the 2003 Blackout. Both times it didn't work - network overload. I still have one, but never carry it except if I'm traveling (and even then I rarely use it). I will admit I couldn't live without an iPod.

From Philip Roth's latest, Exit Ghost: "What surprised me most my first few days walking around the city? The most obvious thing-the cell phones. We had no reception as yet up on my mountain, and down in Athena, where they do have it, I'd rarely see people striding the streets talking uninhibitedly into their phones. I remembered a New York when the only people walking up Broadway seemingly talking to themselves were crazy. What had happened in these ten years for there suddenly to be so much to say--so much pressing that it couldn't wait to be said? Everywhere I walked, somebody was approac

UConn's basketball team is unranked and yet their football team (they have a football team?) is ranked #13 this week. I am a confused alum.

Charlie Weis told Mike Francesa that Notre Dame is going to be very good next year and scary good in two years. Weis said nobody is going to want to play ND in two years. We'll just have to see.

When is Joe Biden going to be cancelled? It seems to be a habit of his to make racially insensitive/ignorant remarks and yet he never seems to suffer for it: "Biden also stumbled through a discourse on race and education, leaving the impression that he believes one reason that so many District of Columbia schools fail is the city's high minority population...Biden attempted to explain why some schools perform better than others -- in Iowa, for instance, compared with the District. "There's less than 1 percent of the population of Iowa that is African American. There is probably less than 4 o

I should have known better, but I thought this had potential.
