I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

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.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I suggested Tmesis as a band name once, but we decided that it was too diffi-fuckin-cult for people (not to mention a terrible band name, too).
So, does anyone else think of Kool and the Gang when the word "Schlitz" pops up?

On a sad note, the great Percy Heath died last week.
ETA: I don't know why the board was opposed to the rest of that post, but five re-tries is enough. I'm giving up.

The board is in mourning.

Emusic.com now has a couple Old 97's albums. Okay, Dr. T, it's time to earn your money: Early Tracks or Wreck Your Life? Or both?
Corwood, glad you like my tagline. HH's column usually bugs the crap outta me ("Then why do you always read it?" Shut up, Mom!), but this one was good. Reminds me of my favorite line from Full Metal Jacket: "You had best un-fuck yourself!" For those of you who don't read the excellent blog by our blue friend from the red state, here's Corwood on Deadwood.
ETA: Make sure to poke around the blog. You don't want to miss the pics of Lil' Jandek or the 50 books feature. And Mrs. Corwood's entry was worth reading even if I'm still freaked out by it a couple days later.

Thanks, J.B.! I like Wreck Your Life, personally, but recognize that the good doctor's advice on the Old 97s carries (and should carry) more weight than my own.
And, yeah, HH's column usually annoys me, too, but anyone trying to approximate the poetry of Deadwood deserves a few kudos.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
OMG! WRECK YOUR LIFE! I just so happen to have been listening to that all day.
Um, or maybe both. I actually don't have early tracks yet. but Wreck your life is AWESOME!

Maybe, but AWESOME! should be reserved for truly AWESOME! stuff, like walking around Palo Alto with MC. If you haven't visited her and she hasn't taken you on the big dish trail hike then quit wastin' time & buy yer ticket right now, missy!

I moved myself to the end . . . . because I want to see what the rest of y'all do with it. Please remember my "suggested" subject line.

Oops, I'm up first. Ponder, ponder, ponder...
And Mrs. Corwood's entry was worth reading even if I'm still freaked out by it a couple days later.
You big baby. I can't wait until you go parental.
FWIW, Corwood, Emmett also arrived with cord around neck, and had to be revivified. Apgar from 3 to 8 in one minute. And that was in a hospital, but no c-section.
Thanks for the sassy links. Loved the Stones Krispies.
Sad about Percy Heath. Is the holy grail of jazz some lost transcript of that Dizzy Gillespie big band during the recording ban? (Heath was in that, right?)
