This calendar seems awfully light on the exposed nipple and beave photos.

I'm pretty sure Paulaner Pilsner is the best beer on the planet.

Last time I tried to talk to Jay about UT he punched me square in the mouth. Seriously, what kind of guy punches another guy square in the mouth for bringing up something like that?

I'd honestly rather see Mike and the Boquist brothers back in Son Volt than a UT reunion.

The last time I talked to the Boquist brothers about Mike they seemed way more interested in talking about what a jerk you are.

In retrospect, Superchunk made some of my favorite music in the 90's. Although at no time back then would I have considered them my favorite band.

The best record of the 1990's was Leatherface's Mush. They weren't the best band though. So really, I'm offering very little here...

I heard Rod Stewart sing on some TV show recently. It may have even been American Idol, but I can't remember. I do remember though that his voice was totally shot. Maybe that was a one-time thing. Or maybe karma is finally paying him back for singing douche tunes for 30 years.

If he's too old or whatever to really bring it, I hope a real Faces reunion doesn't happen. Let him keep singing standards (poorly).

I should pay more attention to this board.

Jeff PM'd me about 6-8 months ago to inquire about enjoying his band on my terms.

It was faux-poo, btw.

Thanks for (not) answering my Son Volt-related question on Facebook, douchebag.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that! To answer your question - yes, he's a surprisingly gentle lover.

Son Volt came on at about 9:30 in DC. Doors were at 7.

I didn't talk to the drummer, so I can't confirm that he hates me (although, c'mon...who doesn't?) He did seem like he was having a good time playing drums though. Actually, the whole band (including Jay) seemed pretty into it.

I saw Son Volt last night at the 9:30 club. They were good.

Bull Black Nova

Oh yeah, I like this song too.

So, Drag the River have decided to give away their Live at the Starlight album for free, instead of doing another pressing. You should download it, because its awesome and stuff:

I like that "Country Disappeared" tune. I hate that one that starts out "Come on children, you're acting like children, blah blah generation..."

I honestly don't really remember any of the other songs, except "The Song", for which I'm seethingly apathetic.

I really wish they'd have followed the more stripped down direction they took with Warning, as opposed to the overblown rock opera stuff. Especially since Billie Joe's lyrics have never particularly been a strong suit of theirs.

I never got to see them pre-Dookie, and haven't been at all interested in seeing them since.

Nice! I have 3 framed posters that need to go up in my office at home, plus one more in the mail (Big Drill Car reunion gig poster).

you're too late

Well ain't that a kick in the box.

I thought it was because you said you liked the old lineup better.

Who doesn't say that?

I would consider travelling to this if only for another chance to get a Kuma's burger.

I heard ction owes him an apology.

Was it because I said he looked like a Mon Chi Chi? If so, I'm not apologizing for telling the truth. No way.

I thought you quit again, idiot.

That was an Ergs! reference.

I forgot to DVR this. So fuck me for being an idiot.

Both of my kids have said they want to go downtown for this. I would only consider taking the 6 year old, but even then I think he's too young (he can't stand/walk around for 10 hours and I can't carry him for that long either). So we'll be alternating between watching this on TV and playing Wii.
