Sorry for being completely off-topic, but Jon, if you get the Disney channel, you really need to record the episode of Kim Possible that airs this Sunday at 8:00pm. It features a math-themed villain called The Mathter.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Thanks for the tip, Tom! The TiVo online scheduler is giving me no love (hiss!), so I sent myself an email to make sure I remember when I get home...

The episode you want is "Mathter and Fervant".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I've finally gotten around to listening to Glenn Mercer's Wheels in Motion for a second time. Love it. Essential for any Feelies fan, I think.
The album reminded me - I'm just a sucker for some of the chord progressions The Feelies use, as Glenn uses some of the same ones....

Holy shit! People are already expressing opinions.
Thankfully I've already been defended on the charge of pretension. (Thank you, Marc Woodworth Bee Thousand book writer!) Dude, I didn't want to write a straight book about Tom Waits, okay? Go read something else.

if i were to write a 33 1/3, i'd keep it as unpretentious as possible. something along the lines of "you know that album by tom waits? it was awesome. the first song on that album: awesome. which is not surprising because tom waits is awesome. second song? awesome..."
that said, this excerpt looks pretty awesome. i bet the book is going to be pretty damn awesome too. can't wait.
