Bottom of the 22nd now (how weird is it to type that?). I'm rooting for the Padres to tie it so they can keep playing.

Heard "I Got You" between bands at the Okkervil River/New Pornographers show in D.C. last night.

...if your co-workers ask if you're going to see Wilco whenever they notice you have time off. ...if your mother (who is not a fan) occasionally asks you what Wilco is up to.

This is indeed pretty good. NP: Black Mountain

I used to love books like these.

I used to have one of those, too. Slap bracelets!

Other than the residency shows, I thought the 2/26 in D.C. was awesome (set list- and performance-wise).

It's from the Ryan Adams song. I feel kinda slow for having never figured that out.

I saw it once in the theater. I was just out of college and had gotten my first job, halfway across the country, so a friend and I were driving from Wichita to Philadelphia.

Either way, the A's would have been out of the $8 million they owe Kotsay for 2008 (a season in which they won't compete and after which Kotsay is a free agent). Now, not only are the Braves giving Oakland about $2 million, but they're also sending over Joey Devine -- who's mostly had a rough time in his limited experience in the majors but has pretty good numbers in the minors -- and, if other reports are correct, a Single-A pitcher. Considering Kotsay is on the decline, has chronic back issues, and has no future with the team, I like this trade and am surprised that Beane could get that m

Yup. I got one for Tuesday a minute ago.

I'm on the East Coast, too, and I've even told my friends to convince me that it's insane for me to go to this. It's not working.

Can anyone recommend a decent, reasonably priced hotel near the Riviera?

I would go with Nino Rojo or Cripple Crow.

Sartain opened last night, too. I was impressed enough that I'm going to see if I can buy some of his stuff online. Here's his myspace page: http://www.myspace.com/dansartain
