From wikipedia: Alternative names Hell's Kitchen has stuck as the name even though real estate developers have offered alternatives of Clinton and Midtown West or even the Mid-West. The Clinton name originated in 1959 in an attempt to link the name to the DeWitt Clinton Park at 52nd and 11th Avenue. Clinton was a former New York governor. Hell's Kitchen Several different explanations exist for the original name. An early use of the phrase appears in a comment Davy Crockett made about another notorious Irish slum in Manhattan, Five Points. According to the Irish Cultural Society of the Ga

I recorded it and watched the Sufjan portion this morning. I thought it was pretty good (although the wings were a little distracting). The strings and horns are a nice addition. He dedicates "Oh Detroit, Lift Up Your Weary Head" to Jack White and himself.

Me too!

That totally sucks. I'm not a huge Twins fan but Liriano was fun to watch.

I am sure if he were on my team I would support the whole

I think Double Nickels is their best, but Project Mersh and Three Way Tie for Last are probably easier to get into (and quite good too).

When I was in college (which is longer ago than I would like to admit) my dorm had a fundraiser and with the money we had the choice of buying a VCR or a laserdisc player. I remember there was lots of discussion but the laserdisc faction won out. It seemed like a good choice at the time ...

I know I am in the minority on this, but I have never been able to get into Wowee Zowee. I love Pavement and I would count Slanted as one of my ten favorite albums ever, but WZ just doesn't do it for me.

ARod gets blamed because of plays like this:

Interesting thread and quite a weird flashback for me. I bought my first CD player in 1991 and among the first CDs I bought was: Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend Richard Thompson - Rumor and Sigh Superchunk - No Pocky

Even better; it's from Fox News ...
