DAMN IT! When are those kids going to arrive at my door to give me deals on magazine subscriptions?

That's what I want, but they don't really have enough issues in a year for what you pay for.

QFT. I watched the show with the anticipation of it all unraveling. Not so much. Still left me confused. I figure I should watch it again and try to put some of the pieces together, but I'd rather not. Why is the dad elevating? What do the 2 mobster guys have to do with anything? Where did the doctor go? What really happens when Meadow walks through the door?

Fave album of the year.... so far

An open letter to Rolling Stone: Dear RS, I opened up my new rolling stone issue this weekend and flipped right to the review section. The 1st album you review is the new M.I.A. album. 4.5 stars? Are you f'ing kidding me? And in the 1st line they immediately compare it to a Kanye West album. Surprise! Hey RS, GET OFF OF KANYE'S JOCK!!! Side Note: Personally, I don't know why you rank Kanye's albums so high when half of the f'ing songs are skits! WTF?!? Skits that aren't even funny or socially relevant. Then in the same magazine you gave the New Pornographers - Challengers only 3

Do you listen to that album on a weekly basis? Bravo

Not so much my decision since I was 15 at the time, but my father's decision

Happy Birthday Sue!

they say my fave french word ever "jus d'orange" 1990s - You're supposed to be my friend Catchy...

My fave part is the fat Van Morrisson kicks

At a spring training game in Tampa I was sitting in the front row by 1st base. After a Rafael Palmeiro error, I received an evil eye from him when I yelled at him "FUNDAMENTALS INVOLVE USING 2 HANDS RAPHY! 2 HANDS!" . . . . but I don't think that counts.

Sigh.... So the movie theater that said was starting the film today, was not. They said that it was a problem with the distributor and the film won't arrive till next week, but the internet says it is showing there today. AREN'T THEY AWARE THAT THE INTERNET NEVER LIES!!!!

At least you didn't spit on anyone's face. and is that a prolonged "Good" or "God"? because "good" makes the story even funnier p.s. I lived in Mountain Home for a year.

opening night for it at the theater just around the corner from chez moi. Maybe I'll check it out. I never understand why people don't go see movies by themselves. It's not like you are having a conversation with anyone during it

That's actually what i'm doing for Halloween, believe it or not

The Kinks

ELO - All Over The World (from the Xanadu Soundtrack) I'm not afraid to admit that I own this on vinyl

Can you give some quality examples?

IMO modest mouse's best work

My old list included: Voxtrot - Kid Gloves Dandy Warhols - Bohemian Like You Wolfparade - Shine A Light Thermals - A Pillar Of Salt Bloc Party - Banquet For Cool Down/Stretching I like: Air "Both the band and the oxygen" - Mer Du Japon (my track of choice of them currently) Belle & Sebastian - Don't Leave The Light On Baby oh you've never heard of EXXXTREME SLEEPING? It's pretty hardcore.

not so much a pump up song, but keeps you running in stride

I'm sure there's probably been a post about this before. I did search and came up dry though, but I was curious what people listen to when working out/exercising/running. I was really sick of my list yesterday, so I created a new playlist. Here's what I added today. Hopefully this lasts me a couple of months. My Morning Jacket - Gideon (good to warmup with) Ok Go - Here It Goes Again Magic Numbers - Runnin' Out TV on The Radio - Wolf Like Me Spoon - Jonathan Fisk Television - See No Evil New Pornographers - Mutiny, I Promise You Stellastar* - Jenny Ted Leo - Who Do You Love Flaming Lips

My sister plays in a couple different bands in Detroit. Mostly underground shit. Kate Moss unexpectedly did a photo shoot in the middle of one my sis' shows in a basement.

Not many here.... 1) Jim Breuer. I was comedy chair of program board in college. Picked him up from the airport and drove him back. 2) Chris Webber. His brothers played at Central Michigan University when I was there. I got the opportunity to talk to C-web 3) I was at a hole-in-the-wall bar in Newport a couple months ago and Mark McGrath was apparently standing behind me for an hour and I had no clue. More importantly, I did not care. I thought about what I would say to him if conversation arose. The only positive thing I could think of was, "damn, you were awesome at music jeopardy."
