It was a good week of football (and the Bears haven't even played yet)! The Jags and the Steelers gave the Colts and Brownies defensive crews the ultimate in embarrassment: "You know we're going to run, and you still can't stop us." I think Chicago should do the same thing tonight with Jones and Benson. Or they could let Grossman throw some more picks, whatever. " Eh, Tony Romo is soooo three weeks ago. Now it's all about Jeff Garcia! Eight TDs and no interceptions since relieving the Chunky Soup guy! Jay Cutler is making rookie mistakes all over the place. But the real issue for the ponies is... what happened to that vaunted Denver defense? :puke: Oh, and how about Vince Young? He's like a Michael Vick that wins games. And has a semblance of class.

I like it... mmmm I like it. i'm rollin just to keep on rollin Those are three winners there. I remember "Jesus Gonna Make It Alright" from a YT link you posted a while back, I think. Nice to hear it though. I'm having a pretty bad day at work, but every time I start to get down I just remember that last night, at about 8:30 p.m., I was talking to mc chris (of "Fett's Vette" fame) on my cell phone. He was playing a show in NYC, and my friend who lives up there decided to go. They walked in and the "Dungeon Master of Ceremonies" himself was sitting at the bar. mc was thanking people for coming as they came in the door! So my buddy tells mc how we had been fans of his for about five years now, and mc says "Put him on the phone!" Pretty sweet. Much better than that time another friend of mine called me from outside a GWAR concert, and I got cursed out by someone calling himself "Slave Dog" who might or might not have actually been in the band. Apparently, the new mc chris album is actually legitimately good. Not just jokey, nerd-core good, but a seriously decent rap CD. At least that's what my bud says.

I've read that Bubblegum is pretty good, but have never actually heard it. I wouldn't mind taking a listen if you upload a track or two. You know I hear he does a song with Dulli on that CD... that might be an option considering my obvious man-crush... ... unless it would crush my expectations, I suppose. Joe Jackson - Fools In Love

The Jayhawks - Live on Letterman. Great, great song. Oh, and after the song's done you can hear the CBS orchestra start up STP's "Sour Girl" to take them into the commercial break.

Okay, I've overcome my fears of retribution from the powers that be, and I've uploaded three songs to Lady Crimson's OE gallery. Check 'em out! Neko Case

Whoa... that's a pretty odd concept for a concept album, but kudos to them for creativity. "Tailspin"

The gallery seems to be down, at least for me.

Buck 65 - Strong Sam Any rapper who tells honest-to-god stories is cool in my book. This reminds me a bit of the tale of John Henry.

NCAA Football 2005 Found a used Xbox disc with that and Top Spin on it, picked it up for $2.99. Second-best recruiting class in the nation! I'm gonna build the Arizona State Sun Devils into a national powerhouse. Why ASU, you ask? Why not?

BRMC are pretty goddamn good. I'd post some copyrighted music on LC's site, but I'm afraid Lars would hunt me down and torture me... You know, like make me listen to new Metallica demos or something. Oho!

Happy birthday ... and here's a new birthday song you can sing!

Speaking of.... Spinal Tap - Gimme Some Money ...back when they were The Thamesmen.

It seems like ESPN's Monday night games have been mostly clunkers this year. There has been a lot of uninteresting matchups so far, thinking back. Oh, and Grossman did get out-sucked by the Vikes' QB, Brad Johnson. That definitely contributed to the Bears win. Chester the Cheetah and his various backups seemed to run the ball well against the Bears, too.

I can't remember if I posted this before, or just talked about it at work, but "Don't Stop Me Now" in Shaun of the Dead was one of the most memorable musical sequences in film, EVAR!

As long as the defense keeps scoring two touchdowns a game, the Bears will be fine. Does anyone care about the game tonight? I don't really care who wins, but I need seven points to win my fantasy matchup this week. I've got Steve Smith going for the Panthers and L.J. Smith for the Eagles. Hopefully at least one of them has a big game.

Yeah, I think so. And the "Back... Jack... do it again" band as well, I think. This one is a real genrebender. Prog-punk-reggae? It's like one part 40 oz. to Freedom, two parts The Decline, for lack of a better comparison.

Guess I'd better haul this back onto page one, eh? Dexy's Midnight Runners - There There, My Dear Oh, and I'm not too well versed on Steely Dan, but everything of theirs that I've heard has been good. You can count on them for a slick-sounding song, that's for sure.

Haha, Grossman was awful. I don't mind though, because this week's fantasy football opponent started him at QB. I can't wait to see how many negative points he gives her. Oh, the missus and I went to the Browns/Chiefs game this afternoon. I'm not a Browns fan, but it was impossible not to get caught up in that comeback. What a game! I'm not that invested in any team, really ; I just love watching football. Hell, I sat out in the cold to watch three high school championship football games on Saturday, too. It was quite the gridiron weekend.

I was quite impressed by the slick transition from "Me So Horny" to "66." And Greg's line at the end of Omerta is classic Dulli. Damn -- I wish I knew who the hell they were back when they were still touring!

Oooooh! Live show alert! The Afghan Whigs - Omerta Atlanta 2-26-99

Frank Black - You Can't Crucify Yourself

It's a Harry Potter reference. Little gnome-type thing which was CGI'd in the movies.

Wow... I can't believe they let Gollum let loose the four-letter words! Dobby likes me! LOL

Those guys were pretty good too. A bit less ... intense... than some CPD stuff, but I would consider myself a fan of both bands. "La Grippe" is a favorite of mine on The Inevitable... and their big 1997 album Hot had some good ones on it too. I've got to be in the mood for those type of bands, but when I am, look out! I might... go buy a zoot suit or something. Well, probably not. Tim Easton - They Will Bury You
