o rly? then why does McCain (and most often Republicans) pull in a huge majority of the voters without a high school diploma and Obama (and often Dems) have huge leads among folks with college degrees?

sooooo awesome

both of those Letterman performances were quite good. loved the Maiden shirt

ah... sorry, wasn't apparent from the quoted portion

luckyyyyyyyy BT + Horse Feathers here a week from this Sat should be great too tho! blah blah blah (a lot of shit i don't care about, Winona, tabloids, Crank Ass, etc.). i've said above i don't like Pitchfork. i wasn't generalizing, it came out of my mouth (err fingers), therefore it's just simply my own personal opinion... do i need to post a disclaimer? i'd think that's obvious for anyone who has ever posted on a web forum in their life... i personally love Cold Roses too, and even Easy Tiger to a lesser extent. now i do think he's yet to put out an album as consistently great as He

a friend in my hometown, Tyson Niewoehner, was Dirk Benedict's (Dirk Niewoehner) nephew... no lie never got to meet him sadly though

while i hate Pfork too, this is not a great record by Ryan's standards, i'm sorry. it's a very average one by his own standards. they got it right w/ the new Blitzen Trapper (even though it's closer to a 9 than an 8.5 imo), just lame that it took them over a month to review it

i tried to see her first at SXSW but it was at some out of the way place but yeah, she's incredibly talented for 19 (just turned), definitely she could use a bit of a boost to her stage presence and confidence live, but when you consider her age, it's pretty easy to realize that will likely improve with time. just sad that only about 30 people showed up for the show :/

4.7 on Pitchfork today... while i'd prolly give it a 6.5, the review is pretty spot on for the most part

he's been holding that one close to his chest for months now!

some choice Pat Buchanan quotes: After Sen. Carol Moseley Braun blocked a federal patent for a Confederate flag insignia, Buchanan wrote that she was "putting on an act" by associating the Confederacy with slavery: "The War Between the States was about independence, about self-determination, about the right of a people to break free of a government to which they could no longer give allegiance," Buchanan asserted. "How long is this endless groveling before every cry of 'racism' going to continue before the whole country collectively throws up?" (syndicated column, 7/28/93) On race relation

save for 3-4 songs i'm not totally in love with the album, but i saw him w/ Laura Marling last month and LOVED his live show. reminded me of Langhorn Slim a bit. very talented dude

yeah... the national averages are tightening up (as expected), but i still see McCain as having a major EV disadvantage. i'll take 273/265, not gonna be picky

338/200. calling it

Ann Wilson.

maybe the cheeks a lil

585/1000

spot on.
