How bad was your day?
Hey, Kirottu's enough to turn even Clooney, right guys? Umm, I've got a cold, I'm light-years behind at work, and it looks like rain for tomorrow's softball game. That's about all I have to complain about.

Supersuckers - Bloody Mary Morning (with Willie Nelson) That cocaine song has some sweet soul, Baley, but cocaine is baaaaad for you!

Yesssss. "Little Milton" FTW! Faces - I'm Losing You Not bad for a Temptations cover, although I'm not so certain Rod Stewart's vocals are genuine...

The wire should have been at the top, you're right about that. I really liked the n64 controller too - it was innovative, but not too crazy like this Weeeeeee business. It's pretty impressive how much more ergonomic controllers have gotten since the NES days.

Fallout:Brotherhood of Steel
People like it because it's a very good game with great dialogue, well thought-out characters and some really fun quests. Other people like it because of the bleak goth-friendly setting, but you can take that or leave it. You might have to take some precautions to get it to run right (it's a RAM hog), but it's worth it. My system is strictly middle-of-the-road, and after I patched and disabled several graphic tweaks it ran fine with no bugs.

Awkwardly designed? It was basically the PlayStation/Xbox design that everybody uses, minus the right analog stick, right? I don't remember ever having a problem with control on the DC. Sure it was kind of big, but at least the ABXY buttons were straight north, south east and west instead off-kilter like the original Xbox.

I was kinda bummed I missed Rancid this week, but it was a Wednesday night and I had a lot of stuff to do at work Thursday. So a hangover and five hours of sleep probably would not have been for the best. The Posies - Earlier Than Expected Yessssss. This is good.

Well, aren't we Mr. Glass-is-half-empty today! On-topic: the video was impressive. That's the sort of thing smart astronomy teachers will show in class.

Social Distortion - Angel's Wings I couldn't wait. If my Social D hype is at this level now, it will be interesting to see how crazy I am the week before the show... So, Mike sings about love a lot on this record. And man, the chorus to Highway 101 is a killer. Rock solid work from Mike Ness & co.

Wow it's like PowerStone central over here. I guess I'll pile on... they were revolutionary and fun, and they weren't the only great games for the DC. My favorites were the NBA 2K and Virtua Tennis games, they were always a blast with friends. There were also a crap-load of good racing games, like Hydro Thunder and that Tokyo challenge racing thing. And it's wasn't a racing game, but Crazy Taxi was a lot of fun too. And you can't mention the DC without bringing up how completely Soul Calibur owned the fighter market in the DC's heyday.

I'm just a brother who never compromised his integrity! The song "Ghetto Pop Life" is pretty sweet, IM(barely educated)O. I mean, he's got a bullet in the clip. He also has a lyric he could spit. So what do you want? Johnny Cash - Let the Train Blow the Whistle

Those liner notes are on par with Biafra's! Also the "new" song titles are gold. Kirottu, I watched about two seconds of that video and saw a well-oiled male chest. I believe I will watch the rest later. If you know what I mean. Catch 22 - Kristina (She Don't Know I Exist) 3rd wave ska FTW!

My social life is just fine, thank you very much! I just work a job where I'm chained to a desk with not much to do. Edit: Holy crap, Lucius, you're right.

WARNING: this video will probably freak you out, and I would not advocate watching it at work. There's some graphic drug use. This sucker came out in 1991. Talk about ahead of your time.
