"Butt-naked in the kitchen flipping pancakes..." -Common

Here's one by Merritt: "When you're old and lonely And the rush of life has passed The days go by too slowly And the years go by too fast..." And, a little more poetically: "Growing older is killing a child who laughed and smiled at anything."

Not usually a fan of this band, but this is awesome!

probably a bunch of Magnetic Fields songs, too.

Harry Morgan, who played Col. Potter in M.A.S.H. and Sgt. Friday's partner Bill Gannon in the original Dragnet series died at the age of 96. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-harry-morgan-20111115,0,5809818.story Never thought that he would die. Never thought that he COULD die. Rest in peace.

Several Jim Ford songs: • "...she's the prettiest damn mistake I made this year." • "I'm not crying 'cause I love you, I'm just crying 'cause I can" • "If you can get away from that guy who loves you, without breaking his heart in two, I can get away from the girl who needs me; she don't need me like I need you." I mean... DAMN! I'm sure that there are more, from other folks. Let me think on it.

There are many years where there are no albums like that. And there are more and more years like that, the older I get.

I am loving this Yuck album. maybe it's nostalgia, but this is just wonderful.

Just a couple of songs in and, yeah, these kids are dedicated to that sound! Still, I am digging the hell out of this, because it's the sound that I came of age to, also. And they do it really well. Plus, so far, the songs are good. Dig it.

I just entered to win tix to see him at Symphony Center via XRT. We'll see if my lucky streak continues. Oh, and no word that I've heard about the MCA.

That Yuck album just arrived in my inbox. From what I've been hearing on the boards and in the press, this may wind up shifting around my top 10 or even top 5? Gonna give it a first listen soon.

the meaning of the universe: 42

That's okay, he'll probably play 6 or 7 in Chicago.

A little bit surprised about that one, although I probably shouldn't be.

So far, so awesome. Black Flag come off as insufferable assholes -- at least Ginn and Rollins do. The Minutemen -- I still want to hang out with them, Mission of Burma, too.

I gotta ask: who's on your guitar?

This is true for the following reasons: I can have cookies whenever I want. I will never have Scarlett Johansen.

Damn, that man could play! Rest in peace.
