The High Heat

Speaking of members who should post more often: Gewee!

Wilco doing Lennon's Happy XMas would sound good right about now.

So far (in the book) Martell has written Watterson a letter and spoken to close colleagues about securing any kind of dialogue. The book jacket states Martell has written for many mags: RS; Paste; Giant; Men's Health; High Times; Flaunt; and is a contributing editor of Filter. He has also written books about DMB and Beck. He said he didn't enjoy writing the Beck book, wasn't into it. The Watterson book was his idea,though.

The Cubs have traded Milton Bradley to the Mariners for RHP Carlos Silva and $6M.

Yes, hardback. Watterson has been a recluse since retiring in 1995. He may or may not have been interviewed for this book. The author teases the reader with that possibility right at the start. I'm a third-of-the-way into it and so far Watterson's story has been an interesting journey.

Best band of the 90's, too.

Yeah, I get the jist of it! I think. Will you write my eulogy?

Scare the hell out of the little lads: Lay the Twisted Sister Christmas album on them - with video!

Has it been 5 years already?

As much as I've wanted Halladay to come to Philly, I'd rather he be added to Lee and not instead of Lee. I do not understand why Seattle wants to rent Cliff Lee for prospects. They have not much of a chance for a pennant run, nor much chance to re-sign him, but Philly did. Granted, it is a break even move for a pennant winner and most likely this deal doesn't get done without a Halladay extension; so at least they lock down an ace to anchor the rotation. For a player to sign with the current Mets, he'd have to be an idiot. Jason Bay would better off back in Pittsburgh - or Pawtucket, tha

You win a 2010 Wilco calendar.

Yeah I did watch the interview, but I forgot about that. I think he was just giving the interviewer an answer she could handle.

Are you mocking me because I'm a Phillies fan? (Actually I don't get your question.)

Idiot Wind wasn't chosen? Huh.

Perhaps there are excess copies of last year's calendar and to sell the remaining stock Wilco is calling 2009 a "do over."

I remember reading at some point they were scouring the planet for tape because the last company to manufacture it had either stopped production or gone under completely.

I'm not sure this woman understands the initiation.

I buy my "street candy" from a young lady named Epiphany. She lives, however, in an abandoned car in the alley, not a cave.

KC & the Sunshine Band

Powerful autobiography of a California death row inmate. He tells the straight-forward story of a foster/institutional child to convicted criminal. While making no excuses for himself, Masters details the failures of a system designed to save children that usually sets them up for failure; but not forgetting his own subsequent bad decisions. If anyone knows or deals with deeply troubled young people this book could possibly speak true to them. Masters is a gifted writer as well, and I sympathize with him for having had to write his entire book with only a pen filler. He is not allowed an actua
