EdP Did A Good Show

Last night at the House Cafe, our little EdP did a wonderful job of entertaining his friends and a bunch of strangers. What more can you ask for? One guy, two guitars and bunch of good songs. Two of them were beautiful love songs; one for his wonderful wife, and one of them to our full throttle friend, the Liar.

You rock, EdP.

A Good Little Movie

I admit it - I like romantic comedies. And a good one is Music And Lyrics

It pokes a funny stick at '80s pop music and their aging stars, as well as the new breed of pop stars.

It made for a nice date with the Steener. We ate too much popcorn and candy, then went to the Junction for a good old fashioned late-night breakfast. Mmmmm! The Trailblazer - eggs over medium with white toast, and pancakes instead of potatoes, please! I woke up around 3:30am and thought I was gonna die!

Stupid Me

Holy crap! I have been a neglectful blogger.

Walking to and from work today, I took another listen to some of the Drag the River that I have. I wanted to because I told EdP ChrisB the other night that I really didn't care for it. I thought about that while listening to it, and I've come to this conclusion: I don't like one of the two singers. I don't know which is which, I don't know their names, and frankly, I'm too lazy to look it up right now. But, I know WHY I don't like that singer; he sounds like he's faking it. I don't mind a little bit of a put-on for the sake of getting a sound, but it smacks of fakey, jokey "Hey, isn't this funny? We're sounding COUNTRY!"

I could be way off base, and that this is how the guy really is, but that's just what I hear.

Now, the other singer: I really like his singing. It's much more natural, and I'm not distracted by it. Plus, I like the music itself, and many of the songs.

I decided to revisit, re-evaluate and re-...I listened to it again, because of a very stupid indulgence of mine lately - Hayseed Dixie. I thought that if I can enjoy the humor of this joke band, then I ought to give a fairly serious band the benefit of the doubt, and maybe not be such an asshole when it comes to listening to new stuff (new enough to me). It's that "I don't like this NEW stuff, it sucks!" mentallity that I have that has left me with a really piss-poor knowledge of and taste in music.

Ugh.

Just keep drinking. You'll have plenty of time to think about it all later.

Do The Terrorists Care About Da Bears?

My good friends, I believe that we have overlooked the greatest crime committed by those who wish to topple our civilization and replace it with an Islamic tyranny. That is the crime of showing disregard for our beloved Chicago Bears. The days and weeks prior to the game that will once again bestow upon the Chicago Bears their rightful title of world champions, the Al Quaeda leadership and its ancillary cells have made no offer to suspend evil doings in order to pay honor to our monsters of the Midway. Nor have they threatened publicly to disrupt the event. A lack of support in the absence of a direct threat constitutes the ultimate snub.

For shame, Al Queada!

This is the straw that broke the... Well, you get the idea.
