I am in this club as well.

That ACL performance is probably the worst thing he has ever done, so your ability to stomach it would suggest that you might be able to handle and even like more of his stuff. He sat on the stage!!

I would hope we all do. I know for certain that I personally think best in the shower.

As a person, Conor Oberst is alright. I am happy he is out there doing whatever he is doing and I'll keep giving the records a shot. I am excited to see how his collaboration with M. Ward ends up, and the songs he performed in Minneapolis late last year were pretty good, so I'd like to hear them in some studio format sometime down the road.

Why are all of these late-tourney games so non-competitive?

I have not heard that since high school. I should go find it. I have been here for a year and I still haven't unpacked my boxes of cds.

I want to echo the Tyler Hansbrough sentiment being tossed around here. I'm sick of the guy lumbering around out there, nearly killing people, and rarely, if ever, getting called for it. That face that he makes almost every time he actually gets called for a foul makes me want to knock at least half of his teeth out. He'll be a four points and four rebounds bench player in NBA for seven years. I'd be amazed if he was anything more.

Great, great, great.

This any good? I have liked what I've heard from the first record and seeing him live, but I can't get over how dumb that album cover is.

Eeek. Well, that pisses me off. Kris is right, Lost Highway is a joke.

Yeah, all of these games are absolutely terrible tonight. I was hoping a few of these would be interesting. But I'm happy enough that Davidson won. That will keep me interested for another two days at least.

I agree with this. Enjoyed B&G to the max, but Separation Sunday was in a whole other league. And I also agree with Kyle about Lifter Puller. It took me quite awhile to figure out that they weren't horrible. At first, I thought they were just a poor man's Hold Steady. So wrong.

Had you said Foxtrot or AGIB I would have maybe agreed. As it stands, I doubt many people would disagree that Sky Blue Sky isn't exactly the most "original" sounding record Wilco has ever crafted.

Who cares about the Olympics? Boycotting them would achieve absolutely nothing no matter how hard the U.S. media would spin the opposite. Boycotting imports would make more sense and even that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

I wonder what's in the water down there in Florida? What a bizarre day.

No kidding. I haven't listened to it a whole lot so I reserve the right to come around, but right now I'm just wondering how many bands we need that sound like this.

Stupid Drake. I was pretty confident when they forced that overtime. I once went to the Drake Diner and ordered meatloaf in the spirit of enjoying a classic diner meal. I threw up twice before I left the place and once more when I got home. After today, I can conlude that Drake and its associates are unequivocally good for nothing. I had those Bulldogs in the round of 16 and USC in the final four in one of my pools. I'm doomed.

I have to check this one out. Was hoping it would be on emusic, but Sub Pop doesn't seem to work with them. NP: Animal Collective - Water Curses I don't like Animal Collective too much outside of a few songs, but this is gold straight through. Sounds like they all looked at Panda Bear and asked him to take the helm.

I tend to realize that I'm about 7 billion times more likely to die driving to work than I am on a plane. Or, in my hood, in some sort of gang shooting. So then I get on the plane and fly wherever. I get sick, but I'm not nervous. And to those of you who mentioned the surrender of control thing, that's an obvious illusion. You have little to no more control in your day to day life. Bad drivers, freak storms, house fires, heart attacks, murders, etc. Shit just happens.

I have been here since my junior year of high school, so that is either '00 or '01, I think. A bit before Foxtrot leaked?

With a journalism degree, you might want to look elsewhere. Depending on what you want to do with it, of course.

I would also do this. And probably that girl from Juno for good measure.

I had an idea somewhere, maybe on here but I can't remember, that Scarlett should hold a contest to sleep with the one lucky person who finds a golden ticket inside their copy of the album, but I think that cover might work about half as well and be less, um, involved on her end.

Crazy talk. Not as much as most other states, but some good stuff regardless.
