  1. Not sure what you mean. He's a fan of Jason Hanson, and no one else. Proper usage.
  2. I played 19 songs -- 16 originals and 3 covers. The covers were "Game of Pricks" by Guided by Voices, "Fear is a Man's Best Friend" by John Cale, and Elvis Costello's "Radio Radio". Not many people there but it was fun and I think it went pretty well.
  3. So I have this gig tonight. Just me, solo acoustic. I've never done this before other than an open mic here and there. Not even really sure how I got this gig. Anyway, if anyone is in Chicago tonight, late, and wants to see me play some music, come on by. Lilly's Bar 2515 N. Lincoln Chicago Cover is $6. I don't go on until 1:00 a.m., but there are bands playing all night. Tell the doorman you're there to see me, Rocky Sigman, as that's how they split up the money from the door.
  4. The grudge actually wasn't even from earlier in the season -- it was from spring training.
  5. This is a good metaphor for the season that they had.
  6. Schilling is nowhere near as good as Gibson. Otherwise great post -- and yes, the expansion of the pool of potential players from "white American guys plus a few random hispanic players" to "everybody" more than more cancels out league expansion.
  7. In this hypothetical, do today's players still get modern exercise techniques, nutritional knowledge, etc.? 'Cause if they do, I think they'd dominate baseball of that era.
  8. There are a handful of players today who are as great as the stars of the past. But sure, those 10 guys were great. There were also a lot of guys who played in those eras who sucked.
  9. Can I ask what it is about it that you like?
  10. Not to mention the high level of luck that goes into any no-hitter. Still remarkable if true though.
  11. Yeah, I tried the Beta for about two weeks right when it came out, but didn't see anything about it that I liked over Firefox.
  12. I don't like Rick Warren a bit, but if Obama really does dismantle DOMA and don't-ask-don't-tell as he's suggested he will, then I think he can be forgiven for this. Not that I'm certain he will, but I do think the way he governs is more important than the token figures on the right that he allows on stage with him.
  13. Can't wait for next year's argument about what year's list this EP should be on.
  14. And better, IMO. I also dig Field Rexx a lot, which has a pretty strong Pavement vibe.
  15. I'm not Santa, just a guy who caved to his girlfriend's demands to embarrass their dog.
  16. Not one single punk rock song yet?
  17. I'm guessing that it might have been different if it weren't such a controlled setting. This particular situation was a closed room with a screened audience consisting entirely of the media. I bet the secret service would be closer by and more on guard in a more public setting. Just conjecture of course.
