I've been avoiding my work (that's gotta be redundant by now), and I went into some threads I don't usually visit. Found this in Bureaucracy and wanted to share it with the rest of you who don't go in there.
Jon B: My point, which was stated very poorly, was that 27 being equal to three cubed is FUCKING AWESOME, and shouldn't be tossed aside like it's no big deal. Just like Carl Douglas shouldn't be marginalized because he only had one hit. Because that one hit was FUCKING AWESOME!
And so's that post, Jon. So awesome that you should work 3^3=27 into your show and play "Kung Fu Fightin'". Not that I'll be able to hear it since I can never get a connection, but still.... OTOH, I am enjoying the archived anniversary shows & it makes me sorry that I never get to hear the show.
In October they're releasing the album that Elliott Smith was working on at the time of his death.
An interesting but wrongheaded (IMO) smackdown of Wilco in Slate today.
While I don't think that Wilco is the second coming of
t insert beloved band here
, I also give them a lot more credit than being "classic rock for frat boys".
eta grrr. Either html is giving me no love, or Slate isn't or both, but I couldn't get a link to work.
This doesn't work?
t edit
It does work, but that came out way snottier than I intended. I'm in a rush to leave work...
That does, Jon, but I swear I tried it with the exact same URL as yours (plus about another half dozen variations), using the model in the HTML instructions, and I kept getting a page not found when I tried the link out.

Clearly the universe hates you. Or maybe just Bill Gates. Or maybe Bill Gates and Michael Kinsley. I'm sure one of those is the problem.
Slate is wrong about Wilco? Why, that's almost as crazy as the very idea of Salon running a tone-deaf musically-unadventurous guy writing about music every single Wednesday! Or The Onion's AV Club running an article on the new Fiery Furnaces album that doggedly misses the point!

He recommended "He Loved Him Madly". IJS.
Which reminds me... happy belated 100th -- it was yesterday -- to I.B. Singer. (IJS/IBS being the memory switch.) One of the guys at the Paris Review event yesterday is co-owner of a bar called K.G.B. where they were having a celebration of the centenary. K.G.B.? "Yeah, Singer probably woulda got a kick out of that."
