But at least they give a good interview: Sigur Ros on NPR

Nice! "Making Pedroia's postseason heroics even more impressive is the fact he recently confided that he was playing with a cracked hamate bone in his left hand, an injury that was diagnosed on Sept. 10."

Maybe try tomorrow. US releases are on Tuesdays and my recollection is that European releases are on Mondays. The email from Wilco HQ also says it will be available "there" on the 12th.

I love his cover of Neil Young's Helpless.

That was one weird and creepy ad ...

Absolutely. That was the best 60 seconds of the show.

While shuffling on my ipod this morning, the Pixies' verison of Winterlong came up. That's a pretty good cover.

An excellent list. His collaborations with David Byrne (My Life in the Bush of Ghosts) and John Cale (Wrong Way Up) are also good, but in very different ways.

I was listening to this the other day for the first time in a while. It's still pretty damn good.

Shula told ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on Thursday that if the Patriots finish with a perfect record to match that of his 1972 Dolphins, then there "shouldn't be any attachment to it," referring to a possible asterisk next to New England's name in the record books. "If they run the table, and they win all the games, then they are doing it within the rules of the National Football League," Shula said. "And there shouldn't be any asterisk to it.

I also like their cover of Beautiful (by Christina Aguilera).

Is that a good place to start with them?

Francoeur and Rowand were tied in the voting ...

I'm guessing the fact that he only played about 100 games hurt him.

Nice to see that Jeter didn't get another Gold Glove.

Maybe they are going to take out a policy on Schilling's weight to protect their investment ...

It is pretty cool. You can actually watch a 10 minute clip of it on the Project Song website: Project Song

Red Sox are apparently "close" to signing Schilling to a one year contract.

Thanks for posting that. I was just listening to his solo album over the weekend.

I am somewhat reluctant to start another thread that even mentions Ryan Adams, but who knew that they had the same birthday?

I think emusic is great. My only complaint is that if you don't use your downloads that month, you lose them.

The only thing that would be on my list that has not been mentioned already is Buffalo Tom's Three Easy Pieces.

I immediately thought of David Fricke's quote about cell phones from the IATTBYH movie: "The gist of any cell phone conversation is, 'I'll be there in five mintues.' Hang up the damn phone and just be there in five minutes!"

And how about that Tom freakin' Brady?
