Fella.

Thanks. Buddy boy.

Apparently I need to explain it to someone. Hoss.

Went with my son to see the 2012 Oscar-Nominated animated shorts in the theaters yesterday. This one was my favorite of the lot and the one that I hope gets the Oscar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2AyXr7b0xTk

It's a good one, but the best would still be Freaks and Geeks.

Yes, but, 'tis very Onion-esque... hence my subject line.

When I first started writing songs, I wanted to be Jay, circa No Depression. Can you tell? http://www.iacmusic.com/songs.aspx?SongID=15278&ArtistID=30293 It's almost pathetic.

And for my money, Bob Andrews is the best rock keys player there ever was.

Awesome Brinsleys video! I need to grab that one.

Click the pic. Great story.

Turned on the radio in the car last night and... "Roadrunner" was playing... on a commercial station (WXRT). That has never happened (to me) before. I instantly called the station to tell them that more Jonathan was HIGHLY recommended.

Anything pro-Jonathan is good with me. Go for it, Mass.!!!! "I'm in love with Massachusetts..."

If you had heard the live Jeff Mangum at Jittery Joe's album, it wouldn't. He had a pretty good banter going there.

And I cannot believe that nobody (including me) has yet mentioned former Hüsker Dü bassist Greg Norton, who was a chef at his Minneapolis-area restaurant. (I think that it's now closed.) Too bad, because it sounds damn good:

The entire album is GREAT! As is his previous album, The Way I See It: You should immediately go and purchase both. Heard through the internet grapevine that he has a new one coming out this year, too. If true, it is at the top of my "anticipated albums" list. EDIT: Thanks for the inspiration. Listening to Saadiq right now.

I forgot about this one. Did somebody mention it already? Edward Tudor-Pole, leader of rowdy early-80s pub rock band Tenpole Tudor, went on to host a TV show, I believe—a game show or something called The Crystal Maze. And, since we can only see one vid per post, here is the link to a vid of him hosting the show: Goofy bastard.

Downladable from Martin's website: http://martinnewell.co.uk Just ordered it and am waiting for the DL to show up in my mailbox. Always very exciting!
