(I posted this in the wrong thread before) youtube scavenger hunt: first one to post links to the following televised moments wins a special prize... 1. Prince's video for "I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man" 2. Crowded House's 3 song mini-set at the VMA's, circa 1987 3. REM playing "So. Central Rain" on Letterman, circa 1984 (?) 4. Rod Stewart's video for "Young Turks" 5. A clip from the talk show that used to be on Comedy Central when it first started (hosted by some guy whose name I can't remember...Alan something, maybe?) 6. Fear on SNL 7. Ringo playing bass.

Why would anyone want to sue a marching band?

"Sweet Talkin' Woman", by ELO, is > than a lot of songs.

Anodyne probably sounds the most like (early) Wilco. Personally, I think Still Feel Gone is the best thing they did. By a longshot.

I'll be totally honest...I thought Bruce Willis' cover of "Good Lovin'" on Moonlighting (I believe it was the Taming the Shrew episode) was pretty damn ok.

Today, Smoochy let me borrow the complete first and second seasons of Homicide: Life on the Streets on DVD. On a related note, I'm thinking of going as Det. Frank Pembelton this Halloween.

Yes, that tooth in front is gold. That's just how we rolled back then.

I loved your work in Straight To Hell.

Luckily (and I have new Scooby Doo episodes to thank for this), the oldest kid is also getting into the Ramones. Whoever is reponsible for the music on that show has decent taste - so far I've heard "Rockaway Beach" and "Now I Wanna Be a Good Boy", plus a song off the first Muffs album. P.S. I know most of the words to "Hollaback Girl".

My kids' favorite song is "Hollaback Girl".

I brought two discs in last week to mail to Mr. K and now I have no idea where they are. Lucky him, actually.

The seemingly endless third down conversions from the Vikings didn't make me happy. Not a bit.

This one goes out to caliber.

It's not like it wasn't obvious he was going to miss the kick, but sometimes you just try to suspend disbelief. I don't even know what any of that means. My football team is crap though. I do know that.

I hate football.

Well, at least the Redskins' offense looks better than it did during pre-season. And Sean Taylor still enjoys hitting people really, really hard. I love football.

That is awesome.

Wookies just took this picture of me, at my desk:

I'm totally flattered and stuff.

I just started Feast of Snakes by Harry Crews.

You know Kenny Loggins?!?!

He's sharp enough to know that the first day of pre-school is not the time to be eccentric.

That was a while ago, but my informed guess would be brown sandal-y things for my wife, white Stride Right sneakers (w/fire engines and light-up soles) for the boy. P.S. Our mom's should hang out.

I would pay good money to just listen to John Haggerty play guitar.

That's actually from last year...when he went to his first day of 3-day-a-week preschool. He was excited then, too. P.S. I'm going to delete that pic now since it's fucking ginormous.
