I’m tired today and I have a stiff neck. But it’s a nice day and the Sabres are in the playoffs. So there ya have it.

I'll check it out. Thanks! A friend of mine just went to see Kurt Vile and J Mascis here in Atlanta. He got to meet and talk with Kurt for a while before the show. Said he was very cool and nice. They talked a bit about John Fahey. My friend was so excited about it, he couldn't contain himself.

With the exception that she somehow figured out a way to score.

Man, that’s kind of sad. That sunlight travels 93 million miles to warm your face and then gets blocked at the last second. That’s a raw deal, Charlie Brown.

Does the sun shine down on us or are we just in its way?

Sorry, I was way off on that. And that first album was the huge one—just about all the songs were bit hits. The 80’s is when I was aware of them being huge on the radio. And I admit I did like a bunch of their songs. The guy’s guitar playing was pretty impressive and he had a really distinctive guitar sound with the crunched up distortion. I mean no disrespect to our rock forefathers.

They named a baseball team after that cheey 80's band?

Pretty much all of the new music I buy, I get on vinyl. Typically, the record comes with a code for a free download of the album. So I get my geeky turntable jones and I can burn it do cd for the car and have it on my computer & ipod too. Record shopping is one of my great little pleasures in this world. And I'm excited to see more & more stuff available on vinyl. My latest purchase: Childish Prodigy by Kurt Vile. Very very nice.

I think he should have titled that song, "I Can't Score 55 (on an IQ test)"

I'm with you on this. My turntable gets used all the time. More than my cd player. Keeping records clean and in good condition makes a big difference. And a good needle will bring it to life. The sound of a good record fills the room in a much more pleasing way than cd or mp3. It's not a myth or an affectation or nostalgic pining for a lost era. It's a fact. I've done the comparisons and I hear it for myself.

Grammy awards are to good music what bologna sandwiches are to ankle surgery.

In: selfish, impulsive behavior; lewd gestures; having an aggressive sense of entitlement; being loud, obnoxious and uninformed; greed; intemperence; intolerance; cruelty; dogma Out: well-formed thoughts; dignity; consideration; depth; subtlety; science

Yup! As far as I can tell, the only redeeming quality in people is their ability to recognize the greatness of dogs.

9,800. That's the temperature at which suckas start sweatin' (and at which gringo starr is just getting warmed up).

RIP, MLK. And to a kinder, more peaceful world.

Yes, there are four commonwealths. However, it’s still appropriate and accurate to refer to them as states.

Wow, this is a truly shocking development. Obviously, our hearts go out to Mrs. Beerball, whose courage is an inspiration to us all.

100% I was surprised how easy that was. I hope those 38% are in some sort of assisted living environment. I hate to think that many of them are out there driving cars, having unprotected sex, waiving guns around WalMart, demanding to see our President's birth certificate, etc...

I don’t know what to do for lunch today. I brought food from home because I thought I’d have to work through my lunch. But now I’m freed up and I want to go out and see some of this nice warm sunny day. But where? It’s a quandary.

I like how you conveniently leave out the part about how it was court-ordered and at a high-security psychiatric facility, but whatever... I’m glad you had a good time.

The sun is shining in my mind. I just had a really strong latte and Im pretty sure they slipped some PCP in there because my eyeballs are breathing pure liquid oxygen from the sky and I can see the future. (by the way, I end up winning this thread in June, 2014).

Good stuff!

Happy Birthday, S&R! I hope it's a great one!

They may have more overall posts, but I guarantee they can't come close to us in terms of subtlety, sophistication, depth of insight and overall literary excellence.

I'd like to hear the girls' version of that conversation..."some creepy guy kept bothering us, talking about his poop."
