Oil Can Boyd

I heard that he actually performs the surgeries himself ...

When I lived in NYC many years ago the Village Voice used to publish Phil Rizzuto "poetry" that was very funny. They collected these random statements that he would make during games. THE PRINCE I. Last night I was watching TV. I was watching Arsenio Hall. And he had Prince on. I wanna-- What a character he is! Holy cow! II. Entertainer. Singer. And he can dance. He's a little bitty guy. He had a weird beard. I tell ya it was-- I couldn't explain it. III. It was a real beard. I mean, You know how they do it now. Some of them. It doesn't come all the way Up to the sideburns

Hapy birfday, indeed. Have a Schlitz tall boy ...

And this is the part where I say (again) that I saw Hanley Ramirez play for the Single A Lowell Spinners. And while he did not do anything spectacular, he looked like a man among boys.

I subscribe (mainly because it is incredibly cheap) but I think of it as a guilty pleasure, like reading People magazine at the dentist's office.

I am very excited about this but part of me wonders if Tom Verlaine and Nels and Lee Ranaldo (and Smokey Hormel and Malkmus) might be too much guitar for one song ...

It is impressive but I have to wonder about any major league record held by Jim Barr.

I would like to believe this The Playlist is true because it would be phenomenal. "Considering it has already been reported that Malkmus' sessions were recorded with Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo and Dylan bass player Tony Garnier, we figured these two were involved. Turns out we weren't far off the mark. Our source also revealed the band's membership which includes the aforementioned Ranaldo and Garnier, plus Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley, Verlaine, keyboardist John Medeski (from Martin, Medeski and Wood), guitarist Smokey Hormel (onetime Beck guitarist, Smokey & Miho) and Wilco avante-

The Boston Herald had a great headline the other day: Gagne with a Spoon. Who knew they would be able to use it again so soon ...

Just got an email saying that they made a mistake and the orders are not being honored. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is ...

Looks like those deals are now gone. I was looking at Expecting Rain and some guy was talking about how he had bought ten of each.

I spent about 15 minutes chatting with Alex Chilton once. At the old Knitting Factory in NYC the bands often stayed in an apartment above the club. Chilton was playing a bunch of shows and I went to the first night. It was excellent so I went by to get tickets to another night. As I was walking up to club, Chilton was walking out of the building. We talked and then walked together for about 10 blocks before we were going in different directions. He seemed interested in talking about anything but music ...

I agree. It's one of my favorite albums of the year.

Now, if it was Ken Forsch I would be impressed ...

The highlight of my athletic career involves Pat Ewing. We went to the same high school and at the year end sports banquet, I got a trophy for being on the tennis team and he got a trophy for being the best athlete in the school.

I'm hearing Dye for Wily Mo Pena.

Buffalo Tom

A friend of mine was there ...

And will play "September Shirt."

They are scheduled to be on Letterman on Friday night!

Welcome back John Lester.

Didn't do much for me, but maybe I'll give it another try.
