I’m happy that D.C.’s getting a baseball team. I still don’t like baseball and am unlikely to go to two games (I’ll go to one, when the new stadium opens). But it makes people really happy. DC should have it’s own baseball team. Now as long as they don’t move and get bought by some [...]
Armstead passed away on the 16th. No, I hadn’t heard of her, either. But I know her songs. I ran across a reference to one recently, which caused me to download this. Seems appropriate to allow you to do the same. I swear, you probably know this song. Get past the cheesy beginning. The Weather [...]

Funny thing happened to me this weekend: I read a lot of different blogs and they all have different things they focus on. One of them, Stereogum, has an interesting fascination with all of the pop divas; the Britneys and Madonnas and Xtinas etc… Stereogum always has these terrible paparazzi photos, too, that I think [...]
Ethan and I are back to pick some games and give a little insight into this weekend’s NFL games. Just so you know, Ethan’s comments are in yellow and mine are in white. Just 4 games this week. We do these in between our jobs so some weeks we will pick more games than others. [...]

Upon arriving at the beach a couple weeks ago, I picked up my pre-ordered copy of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell. I haven’t finished it. If/when I do, I’ll let you know what I think. My intial impressions are that it’s big and written in a very “English” style. Not ye olde Enflish or anything [...]
It’s taken me two months to do it but I’ve finally passed the halfway-full point on my 40GB iPod. It’s a *ton* of music and I love the fact that I can just move it around the house. The iPod is a magical, magical thing. Best money I’ve spent in a while.
SO, I happened across a copy of the new Hot Snakes record, Audit In Progress. It is excellent. Heavy and loud, just like they do it. ‘Hot Snakes – Lovebirds’ And here’s a copy of ‘Hi-Lights’, also from Audit In Progress, straight from the Swami website. Straight rockers.
