Beer Nuts. Tasty snack or the Devil's upchuck?

"Take Shelter" is great. It'll give you something to think about.

Victim is a great tune.

Watched "The Paperboy" over the weekend. Read the book about 6 months ago too. Whoever wrote the screenplay must've hated the book because the flick was ruined.

Thanks bucko(s)!

The video coverage of this event is the best I've ever seen. That was one whopper of a meteor!

You're a disaster!

Hordes of Russian zombies will be storming Moscow by this time next week. A global panic, in the beginning stages......

I gave up on Robert Graves' "Goodbye to all that" and started "The Winter of Frankie Machine", yet another D. Winslow book.

I'm bound for glory!

Speaking of Allman Joys, I went to a second hand book n record store on Sunday to sell some albums, one of which was the Allman Joy record. I did some research beforehand and discovered that some of the albums were listing for up to $100 on ebay. Wow, I thought, this will be interesting to see what the store offers. They looked thru the albums and decided $14 was a fair offer. When I declined, the gal at the counter starts telling me that they dont pay much for vinyl because its a poor seller and not popular and they end up throwing much of it away and more bullshit like that. Overall, I rate

Send me the money, I'll have Lammy deliver the goods on my behalf.

"Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" by B Fountain Excellent book, now I have to read more of Fountain's work.

"Liberal Arts" A film about people who are passionate about reading and music.....whats not to like? Btw, is Elizabeth Olsen the new Jennifer Lawrence?

What "faux Band" albums are we talking about here?

Good thing I'm great in the sack, not sure she'd keep me around otherwise.

Well, I refuse to live in a world where my wife cant take a cute picture of the kids, get walgreens to fashion an xmas card out of it then she labels and signs them all, puts stamps on them and then drops them all in the mail. Life would seem empty and incomplete without her doing all that.

What about the xmas cards? Is that a tradition we can afford to lose?

Drive By Truckers. I recall they played the Taste of Sheffield fest back in 2004(?, maybe earlier) and a bunch of pals went but I chose not to. They raved about the show afterwards and still do. I didnt pay any attention to them until about a year ago, the ACL show guthooked me after one listen.

I nominate Lammy for Post Master/Surgeon General. He is the man with ideas!

I still write checks too. This e-payment stuff is for the birds.

I like mail. I like mailing things. I like receiving mail. Heck, I even like going to the post office (the gals in the basement of the Sears Tower are the best!). For the record.....anyone messes with the mail, they are messing with me.

Never! You can pry my books from my cold dead hands.

As Bartleby always said....."I'd prefer not to".

But who will deliver my music trades and BnPs if the post office closes?
