There are certainly exceptions to this, but if you're the kind of Wilco fan that thinks they're the American Radiohead and that every record they make must at least attempt to reinvent popular music as we know it, the subtle and delicate joys of SBS are going to be lost on you. That, and record reviewers are generally full of shit. You would not BELIEVE some of the quarter-baked shit I came up with when I used to write them for CitySearch.

I get the impression that O'Reilly preaches to the choir, anyway. I can't believe anyone who wasn't already and irretrievably in his camp would be swayed by his smug arrogance.

Best wishes for teh very awesomest of days!

Aww. Benedictus and kaplaa.

That would revitalize the New England economy AND spark a revival of scrimshaw!! Win-win!!

Stop fighting. Problem solved. Recruiting Plankton to Fight Global Warming By MATT RICHTEL SAN FRANCISCO, April 30

I'm sorry you have to be laid up on your special day! Benedictus and Kaplaa and I hope you get some awesome presents.

There are like, what, 6 billion people now on Earth? I think it would be hard to kill all of us, unless the Death Star rolled up on us and performed an Alderaan. (Holy fuck. We're closing in on 7 billion.)

I don't care what Lynne does to ELO or those others, but he should keep his musical sarcasm away from the Beatles.

Yeah, it could be that the supervolcano under Yellowstone could blow and then the Earth would cool off quite a bit.

Fucking Jeff Lynne.

I think Oliver Perez has a decent chance to be the first Mets pitcher to throw a no-hitter. (While in a Mets uniform; see Nolan Ryan, Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden.) Thanks and praise be to Rick Peterson, who might be as good as Mazzone.

I imagine future generations are not going to look upon us too kindly. There's probably not a whole hell of a lot we can do to stop global warming in its tracks, but the longer we f around and find excuses not to cut carbon emissions, the longer and more severe this problem will be.

A tip of the cap to the Marlins for a well-played series.

I saw that. I wish Wilco was part of EMI, so we could get the DRM-free, 256kpbs files. I guess I'll just be primitive and buy the CD.

April really is the cruellest month. People get all freaked out and aggressive and shit. I think it's impatience for spring plus, in the old days, the winter provisions would be running low by now.

The Pharcyde has some Taliban-level fans. I like them fine, but not enough to kill for.

That was funny. That Lima dude was a bum. I would stick Sele into the rotation rather than Park at this point.

Letter writing is not what it used to be. I think the last letter-letters I wrote were to a friend of mine in Germany about 10 years or so ago.

This just in: Chan-Ho Park sucks.

I like it. It reminds me of the one Ryan Adams song I don't hate.

It's all right with me if you take a day off to celebrate. Have a good one!
