  1. I heard "SexyBack" at a wedding this past weekend and it put me in mind of it. The whole album is a jam. I wish he would come out with another one, although I'm enjoying his acting work. Great talent.

     

    "Another Song" is a fucking great tune.

  2. Saw the first show of their tour on Wednesday night in Miami, really good show. Conor Oberst was dancing at one point, which was kind of weird. The band is very tight right now, and they played a really good mix of songs from every album.

    The version of "Lua" was played with just Conor and the multi-instrumentalist, who played a trumpet. It was absolutely gorgeous.

     

    Closing with "One For You, One for Me" kind of let the air out of the building and it was kind of cheesy. My only criticism. But they played "Bowl Of Oranges", so all is forgiven.

  3. Look at Derrick Rose this year vs. last year.

     

    He's a better three point shooter at the expense of everything between the rim and the three point line. His FG% from

     

     

     

    Also, with regards to Griffin, he would be more dangerous if he could shoot the jumper, but then it just wouldn't be fair. He would be unstoppable.

    My roommate's dad runs this thing, basically, so I'm probably gonna be able to get passes, but even if I wasn't, I think I'd still go. This is a really nice lineup, and it's supposed to be really nice. Right on the beach.

  5. Well, aesthetics are tough to argue. For instance, even though I know Dwyane Wade is a far better player, I preferred watching Michael Beasley play for the Heat last year from a purely aesthetic point of view. I just find his game incredibly pleasing, for all of the reasons I find Wade's boring; there's a methodicalness and preplanned nature to his greatness that turns me off, somewhat.

     

    So, with Odom, I could totally see that argument. There's a million things he can do on the court, he's super long and supremely coordinated, and he's extremely smooth. He's like LeBron James, but with some soul.

  6. So I am on my way to the Culture Room right now to see...."An Evening With DBT".

     

    Last time I saw an "Evening With" (Wilco) it was epic.

     

    Totally fired up.

     

    Great show, where were you at?

     

    I was the 22 year old that made the stupid decision to purchase Southern Rock Opera on vinyl before the show started, and had to awkwardly hold it all night.
