So you ride yourself over the fiee-e-ee-eelds And you make all yer animal de-ee-ee-eeals And your wise men don't know how it fee-ee--eeeels To be thick... as a brick. Yeah Kor -- I can't get that awesome "Faded" vid to work either. But I did find this: Afterhours w/Greg Dulli -

You know.... you're right! Oh... ah damn, my world is shattered. The Twilight Singers - Too Tough to Die Another live gem from one of those European festivals. Edit: And now it's " ." I love how every few months when I search for Twilight Singers on YouTube, I get a whole new batch of live vids each time.

The Twilight Singers - 66 Live version from last year, featuring ex-Afghan Whig John Curley on bass for this Afghan Whigs classic. Dulli throws in a bit of Prince's "Little Red Corvette" too!

Cracker - Euro-Trash Girl Called my mom from a payphone I said "I'm down to my last." She said "I sent you to college... now go call your dad." And the waitress that he married, Well she hung up the phone. You know she never did like me, but I can stand on my own.

Last three: Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - Growin' Up Razorlight - Vice Buffalo Tom - Tangerine

Toto - Hold the Line Love isn't always on time! Sometimes you just want to groove to the verses and rock out to the chorus. For those times, this song is perfect.

Gah... I should have thought of that first one. I haven't seen the second in any headlines yet, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Conventionally, pumas generally avoid humans. It's possible that the one that attacked the old fella was sick, like Gfted1 said earlier. The oldsters were hiking in a national park, I believe, so a squeezed habitat shouldn't be the culprit here.

This is just ... unbelievable.

Sweet Jesus that stormtrooper is funny. The Afghan Whigs - White Trash Party

The Wrens - North to Nothing

Last night I played a game or two of NBA 2K3 on the ol' Xbox.

Hells yes. Great, catchy tune. Sometimes I think Stipe was absolutely crazy. I mean, who names their album Green and makes the album cover brown? Crazy people, that's who. R.E.M - Pop Song '89 should we talk about the weather or should we talk about the government?

I don't know the original... is it off Kid A or Amnesiac? I fell off the Radiohead bandwagon when they forgot to play any guitars on those records. Lucero - What Else Would You Have Me Be? And I

I scored two (2) career touchdowns!

Hockey was actually the first sport I enjoyed watching, due to the winter Olympics. I never played though, as I'm terrible on ice skates. I did however, play a lot of one-on-one street hockey, "Wayne's World" style.

Draken and Muso: I'd say get Blackberry Belle. It's the logical progression from the end of the Afghan Whigs to the beginning of the Twilight Singers. Also, Lanegan does guest vocals on a track or two. Draken, you'd especially like that album because it's heavily influenced by Pink Floyd. The Hold Steady - Stuck Between Stations

Niiiiiiiiice. Whaddya think? Edit: Damn I forgot... I just get so excited when someone mentions the Twilight Singers, heh heh. I'm listening to: Ornatos Violeta - Dia Mau I really like the music, and the guy's voice is cool... I just wish I could be like all the cool Europeans and understand five or six languages while being able to speak three fluently.

Social Distortion - Winners and Losers

Like I mentioned earlier, I played basketball up until I was about 16 -- I played power forward in 7th and 8th grade, but then everyone seemed to grow a foot and I was still the same height. I couldn't play the low post anymore, so I spent my 9th grade year as a small forward before hanging up my Rec Specs. A lot of the other players were one-sport shooters who shied away from the dirty work of crashing the boards, taking charges, and setting a good pick. That was my bread and butter, my niche, if you will. My dad, who was a football guy through and through, always told me "You've got five fouls - use 'em." And he was right... I played over more talented basketball players because I played a physical game.

It's a lunch-break winner! Southeast Engine - One Caught Fire

The Lemonheads - Ride With Me The guitar is a bit grungier than I'm used to from Evan Dando, but the song is good.

some people, they like to go out dancin' and some people, well, they have to work just watch me now and there's even some evil mothers who'll tell you that everything is just dirt you know that women never really faint and that villains always blink their eyes, WooOoo! and that children are the only ones who blush and life is just to die Steve Earle - Hard-Core Troubadour Girl, better figure out which is which Wherefore art thou Romeo you son-of-a-bitch You'd just as soon fight as switch now, wouldn't you? He'll come to make love on your satin sheets And wake up on your living room floor He's the last of the hard-core troubadours

My old college housemate and I used to listen to Ryan Adams so much that our other housemate liked to suggest we might enjoy a homosexual affair with the esteemed "bad-boy of alt-country." So of course, we printed out pictures of Ryan Adams and wrote things like "Ohhhhh Ryan Adams" and "He's sooooo dreamy" on them. Then we taped them all over his door. The irony in all this is that that guy listens to Ryan Adams all the time now. AND he finally came out of the closet. Okay, I made that last part up. But the rest is true!
