Who wants to have a Puppy Bowl party?!

(i want to watch the Puppy Bowl! i'm not sure if anyone else cares but I sure do!)

Puppy Bowl is an annual three-hour television show on Animal Planet. Shown opposite the Super Bowl, it has the highest ratings of any show shown at that time on cable besides the Super Bowl [citation needed]. It features a number of puppies playing in a model stadium with no audience, minimal commentary and instant replay shots and bowl cam. As of 2006, a half-time show the "Bissell Kitty Half Time Show" is also included featuring a group of kittens taking the field on a large scratching post for 30 minutes. The first Puppy Bowl was shown in 2005.

The puppies featured in Puppy Bowl are from shelters, and the show contains information on how viewers can adopt rescued puppies and help their local shelter. The bowl seems to have an age limit of 3 months, so there have been no recurring players.

Puppy Bowl II Averaged 690,000 viewers for its broadcast (a 23 percent increase over Puppy Bowl I), equivalent to MSNBC's rating for the State of the Union address. 5 million people in total watched Puppy Bowl II throughout its three airings.

Puppy Bowl III is planned to air on Feburary 4, 2007, with the addition of the Tail-Gate Party.

DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CONTACT THE TATER-TOTS AT "BLOGGER"?

I HAVE FLAGGED OUR SITE SO THAT ONE OF THE IDIOTS MAY CONTACT IT (US, ME) AND FIX III-DOGBOYBABY SO THAT NO ONE (ME) IS BANNED FROM ADDING COMMENTS (SINCE THEY PROVIDE NO CONTACT INFO ON BLOGGER ITSELF).

Will this work???

I wonder hmmmm...

A Record Sleeve by Phil Elverum

It is dawn. You are just waking up, thinking about putting breakfast together. Each little movement of you going into the day, coming back to life, being born, falls into place as you slowly, deliberately get out of bed and stand up. Leaving your room, you notice the air. Looking at your body, you remember your parents who fed you. Looking around, you realize you already have everything you need; this place is so wealthy. Flexing your leg, you notice no place can hold you, so you can stop running from perceived confines. Being "free," you are born with responsibility. Your parents will not take care of you forever. There is no God. You will not be punished. Deal with yourself. Recognizing problems in the world around you, hold yourself upright and do everything well. Can't you see the equation? The ritual of waking up each day will remind you. The sun rising relentlessly will fill you with reasons to live, prying your eyes open. Don't Smoke. Why would you? Get Off The Internet. There is work to do and the hurricane of your good life is passing by right now just outside the door.

2006---SUCKIN MOTHERFUCKIN DIX!
"Column" by William "CUNTFLOWERS" Bowers

Let's say you had a rough year last year. BOOHFUCKHOO IM AN INDIE DUECHE WITHOUT A SINGLE IDE AIN MY HEADYourEVERY YEAR FOR ME IS ROUGH IM SUCH A DELICATE INTELLECTUAL FAWN trouble seemed to start with that Hold Steady concert at which you couldn't hear the vocals. The club owner's husband explained that the sound was jiggered so that the vox were clear in the back, or at the bar-- but you were committed to some up-front, fanpersonI GO SEE SHIT LIEK THE HOLD STEADY fistpumping. Your previous patronage of Hold Steady shows elsewhere had given you the right to expect a cathartic, if a trifle forced, fellow-feeling. Like, bordering on a jamboree? InsteGOD IM SUCH AN ASSHOLEad you got Craig Finn, looking like an insane, almost-foaming mime. The band's chug seemed dumbish without his Wandering Scene-vet barkabyes. For some reason, you felt as if someone (everyone?) was getting a treat and being swindled at the same time.

You found Beck's 2006 album more interesting than Bonnie "Prince" Billy's.WHOA NO WAY HOLY CRAP BECK IS A NEVER WAS AND "THE PRINCE" (FINALLY A WHITE ONE) IS A CHILD MOLESTOR! DRINK PISS! PRINK DISS! WALKING TALL! TALKING WALL! WHY DO I TALK AT ALL

Your car pretty much blew up on the way to see the Walkmen. A friend called the cellphone you borGOD EVERYTHING IS SUCH A FUCKING TRAGEDYrowed for the trip. Your friend was hoping to reach the phone's actual owner. Your friend said "Hey! I'm with the Walkmen!" and handed the Walkmen his phone. You told the WalkmI CANT IMAGINE WHY I CARRY ONen that you are not who your friend thought you were, and that your car just pretty much blew up on the way to their show. The Walkmen said that they are sorry about your car. THEYRE SORRY ABOTU EVERYTHING ELSE 2, IF I WERENT SUCH A PUSSY I COULD AT LEAST COMMIT SUICIDEEntertainment Weekly called the films of Christopher Guest "cultural correctives." So society got improved. WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING READING EW IN THE FIRST PLACE, IM SUPPOSED TO BE INDIE AND CHRIST NOW IM WATCHING THE DIY NETWORK AND THERES NO SHOWS ABOUT THE CLASH JUST SHOWS ABOUT INSTALLIGN A NEW DECK....WAIT ITS KINDA THE SANME THINS........WHOA NO MICK JONES WAS JUST LIKE THE PLANKS OF WOOD AND STRUMMER IS TOTALLY THE WATER SEAL, GET IT? WOW, MY FRUIENDS AND I GET HIGH CUZ WERE CONVINCEDWE HAVE TO AND EVERYONE THOUGHT WE DID ANYWAY SO I MEAN, FUCK, WHY NOT, MORE ON THIS LATER, OH SHITY!

You developed an unhealthy sympathy for underdogs. CUZ IM AN UNDERDOG. IM SO WOUNDED AND SENSITIVE!You started to confuse "darn good" albums with "great" ones, preferring an alternate view to the consensus view just because of its alternateness. You became addicted to blogs such as Little Hits that tout "forgotten" or noncanonical bands. You kept and abused a "Little HitWHEN WILL PEOPLE LEARN THAT THEIR OPINIONS MEAN NOTHING AND PEOPLE SHOULDNT EVEN TRY s" playlist. This practice is akin to only reading minor poets. Your favorite albums of the yearIF I WERENT SUCH A PUSSY ID KILL MYSELF were by the ArI MIDLY DISLIKE SOME ASPECT OF MY PERSONALITY AND I WANT TO WHINE ABOUT ITchie Bronson Outfit, the Coup, Keene Bros, and SnowdenWAIT I THOUGHT IM SPOSED TO BE INTO POINTLESS MARGINALIA OH FUCK IM SO CONFUSED BY MY OWN UNENFORCED RULES. These albums were really good, but they were probably not the best albums of the year. THEY PROBABLY WERENT THE BEST. WOW SUCH INCISIVE MUSICAL CRIT FLOWS FROM MY BRAIN. PROBABLY WERRENT THE BEST JUST LIKE THAT OL DEEP BLUE SHITTY SOMHTHING LYRICS WHERE THEY SING "OH YES I RECALL WE BOTH KIND OF LIKED IT". OH NO I HOPE IM NOT AS BORING AS THEM! YOU CANT EVEN BE IRONICAL ABOUT THEM!

Indistinct WHAT ISNT INDISTINCT IN MY WORLDblogs multiplied like gremlins, and also like gremlins, some got dumber and sassier LIKE MY COLUMNS OOOH HA HA. Their effect on old-new media was obvious WHAT ISNT OBVIOUS: Even websites that host longform criticism began to introduce mp3 links with a mere "thumbs up"! OH THATS SO LAME AND SUCH A SYMBOL OF UMM SOMETHING BUT I CANT FIGURE OUT WHAT NOW....I COULD TOTALLY NEVER BE THAT LAME...I BUY CLOTHES OF KARMALOOP I BUY CLOTHES OF KARMALOOP I BUY CLOTHES OF KARMALOOP AND MY MEANDERINGS ON THE INTERNET ARE FAR MORE ESSENTIAL TO THE WORLD OF CRITCIISM (CUZ I CANT CREATE ANYTHING) CUZ I WORK FOR PITCHFORK, YEA THATS RIGHT WE ADVERTISE DEWARS WERE BIG TIME BUT OH WERE SMALL TIME CUZ WERE INDIE AND FOR THE PEOPLE BUT OH GOD DAMMIT I HATEW TO THINK, LOOK I'LL LEVEL WITH YOU IM JUST SOME 26 YR OLD GRAD STUDENT SO I JUST ASSUME I KNOW EVERYTHING CUZ I OF COURSE DO KNOW EVERYTHING AND IM SUCH A MIDDLE CLASS ASS PUSSY I DOTN HAVE THE BALLS TO OFF MYSELF SO I JUST PROJECT MY PRISSY PISSY DUECHY AS FUCK NONSENSE ONTO EVERYONE IN CYBERSPACE THIS IS MY ENTIRE CONTRIBUTION TO HUMANITY IM PSYCHOLOOGICALLY & SPIRITUALLY RETARDED I CANT SEE BEYOND MY OWN MIND (WHY WOULD I ITS SO FASCINATING) I DONT EVEN REALIZE A WAR IS GOING ON, AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE MY SOCKS ARE TOO LOOSE

You live and work in a town designed to sustain car-culture, OH ITS SO SAD WHY CANT LIFE BE LIKE THOSE COOL VW COMMERCIALS THEY SHOW ON IFCbut your car pretty much blew up during that Walkmen trip. So you biked everywhere. You are used to traveling with music. Wearing headphones on a bicycle is illegal/ticketable where you live. You began toCUZ MUSIC IS A COMPETITIVE CONTEST OF CONSTANT ONE-UPS-MANSHIP DONT EVER FORGET THAT "get behind," since you can't listen to new music. So much new music and "music news" ONLY NEW THINGS COUNTerupts each day that you began to feel like you've skipped a week of Calculus class when yoTHANK GOD ALL MY FRIENDS ARE EVEN MROE JUDGEMENTAL AND LESS CONNECTED TO REALITY THAN MEu triedMY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS EXIST UNDER THE THINNEST PRETENSES to discuss new music or music news with the other consumers/students.

You read Adbusters,CUZ IM LIBERAL OR HAVENT YOU GUESSED with biblical EVEN THOUGH THE BIBLE IS BAD OR SOMETHING, I LISTENED TO A HARDCORE RECORD ONCE AND THEY WERE MAD ABOUT IT, BUT THEN IT WAS STRAIGHT BACK TO MODEST MOUSE AND PROPER POETICS BUT I'LL NEVER FORGET MY SALAD DAYS (PUNK REFERENCE OF SOME KIND) SLUMMING WITH THE SCREAMING PEOPLE IN BLACK LEATHERfervor, and were supposedly immune to the seductionYES BUT IDEALS HAVE FAILED US JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, WHERES MY TODD SOLANDZ DVDs of packaging and the reification of people as products. You fell in love with someone on NOW I WORK FOR PITCHFORK AND WE LOVE CORPORATIONS, THANK GOD, IT MAKES THINGS EASIER. MAKE NO MISTAKE THOUGH WERE AT LEAST SNARKY ABOUT ITa Jones Soda bottle label.

You went to see Xiu Xiu in a disguise, CUZ I HAVE SO FUCKING MUCH TO BE ASHAMED OF because you didn't want any acquaintances or ex-partners to ruin your deep and communal something-or-other with Xiu Xiu's music. CUZ ITS ALL ABOUT MUSIC AND NOT SOME QUEST TO DEFEND ALL MY OWN BULLSHITYour acquaintances and exes end up all around you, only they don't recognize you, which isYES YOU KNOW I HAVE TONS OF EXES ALL THOSE ONRE WEEK RELATIONSHIPS REALLY ADD UP more distracting than if they did. Xiu Xiu played a jaded IM USING JADED AS A CRITICIAM? BUT IM JADED WAIT ITS NOT COOL TO BE JADED SINCE THE AEROSMITH SONG AND SICNE THE 70S ARENT "IN" RIGHT NOW ITS ALL A MESS, workmanlike show that, they later tell one of your sozzled exes, they considered "too pop." I FUCKED HALF OF BUSTS READERSHIP. GIRLS LIKE CUZ THEY SAY I REMIND THEM OF JOHN CUSACK!You wish you hadn't demanded emotional labor from Xiu Xiu. They are artists in the year 2006, not Delta stewardesses in 1971,TOO TRUE TOO TRUE I SPEAK THE REAL SHIT from whom one might have purchased a flimsy intimacy LIKE ALL THE HANDJOBS I ACT LIKE IVE GOTTEN. A girl approached you and told you that she liked your outfit. You were wearing a granny wig, a hairnet, a black mustache, a Three's Company blouse, baby blue polyester highwater trousers, and orange trailbiking shoes. The girl asked if you want to manage her band, the Vagina RoachesTHIS IS MY ATTEMPT AT HUMOR, IF WE WERE IN PERSON ID SLOWLY LAUGH REAL HIGH PITCHED AND KEEP RIHT ON LAUGHING WHILE STARING DIRECTLY INTO YOUR EYES UNBLINKLY TO SEE IF YOU THINK IM AS FUNNY AS I THINK I AM...DO YOU REALIZE (MY MAN WYANE REFERENCE) I AM SO HOPELESS I CANNOT EVEN LAUGH SINCERELY???

Mr. Lif's WHITE HIP HOP THE WAY GOD WANTED IT, OH BUT IM AN ATHIEST wrankled IM AN ATHIEST CUZ NOTHING MATTERS, AND BELIEVING IN THINGS IS STUPID AND SICNE EVERYTHING ABOUT ME IS CONSTANT COMPETITION (AND IM TOO MUCH OPF A PUSSY TO JUST GET ON THE FOOTBALL FIELD) I OUTSMART EVERYONE BY DENYING EVERYTHING FIRST.

ALL MY FREIDNS ARE JUST LIKE...WHITE MIDDLE CLASS STRAIGHT AND SNARKY AND IRONICAL AND SENSITIVE AND DAMAGED AND MISUNDERSTOOD. ITS ALMOST AS IF THERES NO WORLD OUTSIDE OF US! OH AND THERES GIRLS TOO. THEYRE COOL UNLESS YOU DATE THEM.yielded to a reggaetonTHESE SMEXICANS MOVES NEAR MY APARTMENT.

GOD, IM SUCH A PUSSY...I SHOULD SET MYSELF ON FIRE. I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT SHIITE MEANS

You went to see Mount Eerie, expecting the sound experience that is Mount Eerie. EVEN THOUGH MT EERIES RELEASES ARE MOSTLY QUIET AND ALL THOSE MP3S I LOVE SO MUCH (WHEN PEOPLE DEBATED CDS VS VINYL I ALWAYS SAID HEY FUCK YOU I ONLY WANT RECORDED MUSIC TO COME THROUGH A THIN CORD ON MY COMPUTER) FEATREU PHIL LVIE + GUITAR IM STILL A WORTHLESS ASSHOLE WHO THINKS LIVE SHOWS SHOULD BE REPRODUCTIONS OF ALBUMSYou got Phil Elvrum with a guitar, unable to remember YES HE DID NOT PLAY 18 SONGS IN A ROWhis own songs after HE WAS NTO AMAZINGopening up the floor to HES BEEN DOWNHIOLL SINCE 2001the crowd because PITCHFORK SAID HE MAKES CYNICAL MUSIC NOW AND I GUESS SICNE THEY ARE MY THOUGHT MASTERS I MUST FOLLOWhe didn't prepare a set. YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED AS IT HAPPENED AND IM SO OFFENDED WE STOPPED REVIEWING THIS HAS BEENThe crowd guffawed explosivelyCUZ THEYRE SHEEP UNLIKE NONCONFORMIST ME at the non-punchlines in his smalltalk between non-songs; they would never behave so sycophantically to a local non-star. NEVER. You began to think that the laugh-tracks on "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody" and "Saved By the Bell" were recordings of nervous, crowd-scanning indie kids. WHICH I AM NOT ONE OF, SEE IM ABOVE IT ALL. I SEE THE LIES FOR WHAT THEY AREYou I AM CLEVER PERSONIFIEDrequested a Little Wings tune that Elvrum copped bits of YES PHIL RIPS KYLE OFF SO MUCH, KYLE MUST HATE HIMfor a song on his Mount Eerie album. PHIL IS NO SUFJANElvrum tried to play it, couldn't, and then said, "Wrong band." PHIL IS NO IRON AND WINEYou spent the rest of the night pettily concocting weak, rhythmless OH AND HERES WHERE I TURN THE KNIFE BACK ON PUSSY LITTLE MEretorts such as "DO YOU LIKE THAT I NEVER TALK ABOUT MUSIC, ONLY MYSELFOh, IM SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING THAN PEOPLE WHO ARE CREATIVEyou're a band?" and "Wrong band? That's what I'm saying about who I chose to come see." This was the fifth time that you paid to access a great band performance and got one (albeit talented) I'LL ALLOW PHIL THAT HEMAY BE TALENTED BUT HE SHOULD JUST PLAY BALL AND DO AN m&mS COMMCERCIAL OR SOMETHING.dudePHIL IS A DUDE AND NOTHING BUT with an acoustic guitar. Did your town not matter, you thought? YES CUZ PHIL BRINGS A FULL BAND EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME, I CANT BELIEVE A SUPER FAN LIKE ME IS SO 100% UNFAMILIAR WITH HIS WORK AND METHODS, PERHAPS IM NOT AS SMART AS I THOUGTH? NO COULD NEVER BE. I UNDERSTAND PHILS MUSIC AND MOTIVATIONS BETTER THAN PHIL HIMSELF COULD, IM A FUCKIN GRAD STUDENTDid it not contain real people living real lives and needing real music? REAL MUSIC DOESNT EVEN EXIST ACCORDING TO ME SO WHAT AM I SAYING. WHY CANT I JUST DIEWas indie rock the only zone in which people would tolerate this slummy YES ABSOLUTELY NO ONE IN THE MAINSTREAM TOLERATES "SHIT" AND WHEN I SAY SHIT SHIT IS SO PHIL ELVRUM shit? Could Les Mis tour with five people wearing Dockers, accompanied by a jambox, and still call the show Les Mis? YES CUZ BROADWAY AND ROCK AND ROLL ARE TOTALLY INTERCHANGABLE, THIS COMPARISON MAKES ABSOLUTE SENSEYou thought of the passage from Curtis White's SEE A NOVEL A I READ SOMETHING IN GRAD SCHOOL PIN A AN IRONICAL BUTTON MEnovel Memories of My Father Watching TV, YEAH SOME GUY WROTE THIS BOOK, PRETTY EMBARRASSING, RIGHT?about what his family wouMY DAD DIDNT LOVE ME EITHER, THOUGH HE HELPS WITH THE RENTld settle for: "They'd eat the most unbelievable junk…the cheapest margarine you can imagine...it came in gallon tubs…the manufacturer didn't even have the decency to dye it yellow. It wasn't something to eat; it was a expression of contempt." For some reason, you felt as if someone (everyone?) ALL OF US AS ONE BIG CANCEROUS LUMPwas getting a treat and being swindled at the same time. YES PAYING 5 BUCKS FOR A SHOW IS A SWINDLE. 10 FOR A RECORD WITH CD INCLUDED IS THE BIGGEST RIP OFF THIS SIDE OF WELL SOMETHING I CANT THINK RIGHT CUZ IM SO MISUNDERSTOOD

Sorry D I fucked up something and accidentally deleted yr post. Feel free to reinstall your post about school shootings

Mr. Precious

Happy New Yar

To all of you people who speak English like me
And all you other people, will someone translate please?
You can do whatever you want and fuck what anybody says
I would like to encourage you with this question
And I sing it with all of the love and trust in my heart
So you don't have to answer it now or ever at all
But it goes: Did you do what you wanted to, or what you didn't want to?
Cos that's all that matters at the end of the day
So look deep in your heart each night for the answer
And if it's not the right one, then why don't you change?
You can say it's subjective, and it certainly is
But did you look deep in your heart to see it like I said?
And did you do what you wanted to, or what you didn't want to?
That's all that matters at the end of the day

--Adrian Orange

Has anyone listened to Avatar by Comets On Fire? It's a really perplexing album for me. There's a lot about it that I tell myself I don't like. But every time I sit down and listen to the whole thing, it's a real great experience, a real good time. Any thoughts?

Not only can she sing... but she loves babies too!

“There shouldn’t be any Spanish-language books in this li-bary,” Minor said. “I would like to see a policy that if somebody is going to donate a book to this li-bary, where English has been the dominant language since 1836, let’s make those books be donated in English only.”

Simple corporate faux philanthropy that might actually be worth a few seconds of your time

Some medical corporation that steals millions of dollars from us every year is donating a buck to AIDS research if you visit this website and light a fake candle.

Tomorrow is World AIDS Day, and if some ordinarily stupid symbolic gesture is actually going to help potentially accomplish something worthwhile, then why not? I thought I'd pass this link on, to force these guys to cough up five more dollars.

Thanks.

WITH GRATITUDE

THANK YOU FOX NEWS CHICAGO!



Thank you for protecting us! Thank you for defending Decency & Honor. Thank you for digging so deeply into our national fabric, dare I say into our national SOULS! Thank you for alerting us to the danger of teenagers dancing! Thank you for warning us the dancing footage might be too much for more sensitive viewers! Thank you for unearthing and EXPOSING and Dragging to the LIGHT an activity that may lead to, of all things...pre-marital sex! Your codes are our codes! Your values are but a mirror of what real Americans feel in their hearts! Thank you for advertising this GROUNDBREAKING and HISTORICAL and unfliching and most of all BRAVE news feature up to a week in advance. We all needed, nee---were REQUIRED as GOOD CITIZENS to be made concerned that this threat may destroy the generation we so desperately need to SHAPE UP, GET SERIOUS, FACE REALITY and fight the war for the next several years on our behalf. Without your bold and courageous journalism this entire LUMP of youngsters may have been lost to the mists of DECADENCE that claimed so many during Viet Nam, The Installation of the Shah Of Iran, The Faulkland Islands War, The Russian Invasion of Afghanistan, the Liberation of El Salvador and Nicaragua, the Liberation of Panama, Waco, The Los Angeles Riots, Desert Storm (among others) that sapped our STRENGTH and nearly RUINED our Great & Free Land! As one humble American, I can only thank you from the depths of my being. God Bless.

P.S. Please consider doing a feature on the atrocities that these people with their "peace wreath" in Colorado are inflicting on their Decent and Hardworking neighbors. Thank you. Once again, With Gratitude, from one awed viewer.

Donald Rumsfeld 1932-2006

Good riddance.

Top 100? Eat My Shit.

This is probably the lamest post I've ever put up, but I feel like it deserves to be looked at. Especially by people with taste I trust. Yes, I trust every single one of yours taste. Agree with wholeheartedly? Of course not. That would be silly.
The list you see below is from VH1's "definitive" "list" of the "top" songs from the 1980's. I'm assuming it means main stream and "popular" songs from the 1980's, because I could make my own list and very few of these would be on there. I'm okay with Talking Heads, but there are better Talking Heads songs. And Prince, I'm not sure if I would have picked most of those. Who knows.
But the most important part is that my old roommate Kaelin, who is totally insane and really boring, took her time to make comments about each song listed. Some of them are hilarious like the ones about Run DMC and The Clash (oh and Public Enemy!) and some are just sad like the ones about A-Ha and Modern English.
If this list had been seen by me before August 15th of 2003, then I would not have lived with her. I just found this comical and sad, so enjoy!
And PS - I don't mind making fun of her because she is honestly one of the worst people I know and I rarely actually hate people. But I do hate her. She would watch FOX News for godsakes.




According to VH1, the greatest 80s songs...

01 Bon Jovi / "Livin' on a Prayer" 1986-I have to totally disagree with this! This song sucks!! It barely belongs on the list, let alone number 1.
02 Def Leppard / "Pour Some Sugar On Me" 1987-My comments are similar to 1. This is the song they always play at Hip Cats. It's fun to dance to when you're drunk, but that's about it.
03 Duran Duran / "Hungry Like the Wolf" 1982-This song has a great beat and is fun, but it does not top "Take on Me" or "Billy Jean." (I will probably mention "Take on Me" numerous times as I feel it should be at least in the top ten, if not Number 1 itself.)
04 Michael Jackson / "Billie Jean" 1982-Justifiable, yet better than "Hungry Like the Wolf" and 1 and 2...who voted on these anyway??? Maybe I should do my research
05 Prince / "When Doves Cry" 1984-Great song, one of Prince's best, I think.
06 Hall & Oates / "I Can't Go For That (No Can Do)" 1981-I'm not even familiar with this title, so it probably sucks, heh heh
07 Guns N' Roses / Sweet Child O' Mine 1987-I like this song. Yup. Good song.
08 Madonna / "Like a Virgin" 1984-Madonna was, is, and always has been overrated. She is not talented. The only good songs of hers are "Like a Prayer"(which consequently should be on the list instead of "Like a Virgin") and "You Must Love Me"
09 Run-D.M.C. / "Walk This Way" 1986-I like this song, but was not aware anyone other than the great Aerosmith did it.
10 AC/DC / "You Shook Me All Night Long" 1980-AC/DC is great. I have little problem with this ranking.
11 Journey / Don't Stop Believin' 1981-This song should have bumped off Madonna and Run-D.M.C., and Def Leopard...etc. Great great song. Love it.
12 Whitney Houston / "How Will I Know" 1985-A simple no will do.
13 U2 / "With Or Without You" 1984-I used to love this song. Perhaps I have heard it one too many times. Now it fails to have that moody, sad love song effect on me.
14 The Bangles / "Walk Like an Egyptian" 1986-This song is fun...but...not my favorite...
15 Van Halen / "Jump" 1984-Another great song, but I have a personal problem with this song and get choked up when I hear it. Weird, I know, but that is another story altogether.
16 INXS / "Need You Tonight" 1987-The lead singer was good-looking, the song, nothing special.
17 Whitesnake / "Here I Go Again" 1982-Um...no.
18 Dexy's Midnight Runners / "Come On Eileen" 1982-This is one of those cheesy bad songs that I love. Especially at that slow part with the drums that gradually builds faster and faster. It's fun. Maybe shouldn't be this high up, but I like it.
19 Cyndi Lauper / "Time after Time" 1984-Yes.
20 Rick Springfield / "Jessie's Girl" 1981-I'm a bit neutral. Not a bad song, not a great song.
21 Michael Jackson / "Beat It" 1982-I actually prefer "The Way you Make me Feel" to this one.
22 The Cure / "Just Like Heaven" 1987-I recently rediscovered this song after it was buried in my memory for years. I love it. Very catchy.

Note: Why haven't I seen The Cars on here yet?


23 Cyndi Lauper / "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" 1984-A happy song! I will not dispute this position.
24 A-Ha / "Take On Me" 1985-Here it is. My all time favorite 80s song. A one-hit wonder, great beat, great video, and the lead singer of A-Ha is hot. I adore this. Put it at number one, please...maybe I should make my own top 100 list...too much time on my hands?
25 Go-Go's / "Our Lips Are Sealed" 1981-it's ok, but I don't get excited over it.
26 Guns N' Roses / "Welcome to the Jungle" 1987-good song, yes.
27 Kajagoogoo / "Too Shy" 1984-No.
28 Wham! / "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" 1984-This song got 100 times better for me when I saw "Zoolander." It makes me laugh when I hear it, but in a good way.
29 Talking Heads / Burning Down the House 1983-Yes! The intro. itself makes this song worthy! Kick-ass!
30 Pat Benatar / "Love is a Battlefield" 1983-One of those songs I loved but has sort of dulled for me...I always think of "Voices Carry," which is a better song.
31 Queen and David Bowie / "Under Pressure" 1981-my unshakable bias toward David Bowie makes me nod my head and smile like a little girl. Yes!
32 Night Ranger / "Sister Christian" 1983-Love it.
33 Soft Cell / "Tainted Love" 1981-No thank you.
34 Poison / "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" 1988-I was about to start ranting, why? But it's an all right song. Should it be 34? Probably and most likely not.
Phil Collins / "In the Air Tonight" 1981-I love this song. It is creepy and it builds into something else creepy. Ha. I saw Phil perform this a few years ago. I've always loved it.
36 Tommy Tutone / "867-5309 / Jenny" 1981-Nah.
37 Aerosmith / "Janie's Got a Gun" 1989-I don't know what to say. I am not loving it. I don't hate it.
38 U2 / "Pride (In the Name of Love)" 1984-Another song I am just sort of neutral on.
39 Modern English / "I Melt With You" 1982-This song is romantic, fun, and sexy. Hmm mmm mmm. hmm mm mm mm.
40 The B-52's / "Love Shack" 1989-Fun to dance to, but "Rock Lobster" is funner. Is that a word?
41 Mötley Crüe / "Dr. Feelgood" 1989-Can't comment as I don't know this song.
42 The Clash / "London Calling" 1982-again...the title doesn't ring a bell. Should I know this as it is in the top 50?
43 ABC / "Look of Love (Part One)" 1982-probably not, as again, I can't remember it.
44 Bananarama / "Cruel Summer" 1984-this song was on "The Karate Kid." I enjoy it!
45 Janet Jackson / "Nasty" 1986-Janet Jackson was overrated as well. Yes, very pretty lady, great dancer...but her voice was mediocre.
46 The Police / "Every Breath You Take" 1983-a stalking song! I have heard it way too many times, but it's a good song. It doesn't thrill me but it doesn't make me switch the station in disgust, either.
47 Twisted Sister / "We're Not Gonna Take It" 1984-I laugh. Then I do switch the station.
48 Bruce Springsteen / "Born in the U.S.A." 1984-"Dancing in the Dark" does not beat this one?
49 Beastie Boys / "Fight For Your Right" 1986-No.
50 Eurythmics / "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" 1983-No, but thank you anyway.
51 Ratt / "Round and Round" 1984-What?
52 Dead or Alive / "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" 1985-The Wedding Singer! This song is energetic and fun as well. Not spectacular though, but I guess that's why it isn't higher up!
53 Billy Idol / "White Wedding" 1988-I prefer "Cradle of Love" and "Rebel Yell" to this. This song is ok.
54 Salt-N-Pepa / "Push It" 1986-what?
55 A Flock of Seagulls / "I Ran (So Far Away)" 1982-Yes
56 Bonnie Tyler / "Total Eclipse of the Heart" 1983-should be higher up!
57 Toni Basil / "Mickey" 1981-No
58 Culture Club / "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" 1982-please no. In my Boy George phase yes I would say, I love this song. Now I really want to stop hearing it.
59 John Mellencamp / "Jack & Diane" 1982-I hate 99% of John Mellencamp's songs.
60 Young M.C. / "Bust a Move" 1989
61 Styx / "Mr. Roboto" 1983-this song is nonsense to me. I prefer "Miss America" and "The Angry Young Man" to this by far.
62 Berlin / "Take My Breath Away" 1986-still enjoy this cheesy love song, I do.
63 Devo / "Whip It" 1980-when a problem comes along, I must...say no.
64 Paula Abdul / "Straight Up" 1988-Nah.
65 Foreigner / "I Want to Know What Love Is" 1984-Foreigner has kick-ass ballads. They are like Journey mixed with Kansas or something. Or not, I just like them. "Jukebox Hero" is awesome!
66 Depeche Mode / "Just Can't Get Enough" 1981-There are a few Depeche Mode songs I like. This song is fun too.
67 REO Speedwagon / "Keep On Loving You" 1980-"Take it on the Run" is better to me.
68 Public Enemy / "Fight the Power" 1988-Is this that one that is on "Do the Right Thing" in the beginning? If so, that song made me cringe. Lame.
69 R.E.M / "It's The End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)" 1980-No.
70 Joan Jett & The Blackhearts/ "I Love Rock N' Roll" 1981-No.
71 Rick James / "Super Freak" 1981-Eh...
72 The Fixx / "One Thing Leads to Another" 1983-not likely. Wow am I being negative!
73 Nena / "99 Luftbaloons" 1983-It is ok. What is this song even about?
74 George Michael / "Faith" 1987-Yes.
75 Prince / "Little Red Corvette" 1983-Yes! Don't you just love Prince?
76 Thomas Dolby / "She Blinded Me With Science" 1982-This is like a roboty, geeky song. It's ok, but it's not nearly my favorite.
77 New Edition / "Candy Girl" 1983-not familiar with this one.
78 Blondie / "Call Me" 1980-"Heart of Glass" I like better.
79 Human League / "Don't You Want Me?" 1981-Forgettable. Yet I suppose I haven't forgotten it since I know what it is. A song I'd catch and change the station.
80 Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock / "It Takes Two" 1988-No comment.
81 Cameo / "Word Up!" 1986-again, no comment.
82 Squeeze / "Tempted" 1981-a toothbrush, some toothpaste...and what for my face? Yes. Reality Bites. Good song, maybe it deserves to be in the top 50?
83 Prince / "Kiss" 1986-Yes. You can see my fondness for Prince.
84 Lionel Richie / All Night Long (All Night) 1983-Yes! Though it is not about partying and having a good time, apparently.
85 Robert Palmer / "Addicted to Love" 1985-just ok.
86 Bow Wow Wow / "I Want Candy" 1982-too poppy for me...
87 Falco / "Rock Me Amadeus 1986-I think I have not heard this song to form an attachment to it. It is kind of funny, kind of catchy, but I don't have much more input on that.
88 Chaka Khan / "Ain't Nobody" 1989-No. No. No.
89 The Pretenders / "Brass in Pocket" 1980-Yes. Chrissy Hind-spelled right?-her voice is great. I love this.
90 Tone-Loc / "Wild Thing" 1989-This is the same guy that played Ace's detective partner in Ace Ventura. I did not know that. The song is not my favorite.
91 Katrina and The Waves / "Walking On Sunshine" 1983-the ultimate summery, feel great, have a party, it's Friday, I am ecstatic song. Great!
92 New Kids on the Block / "You Got It (The Right Stuff) 1988-please don't make me comment on a New Kids song.
93 Gary Numan / "Cars" 1980-Yes.
94 The Rolling Stones / "Start Me Up" 1981-All right.
95 Debbie Gibson / "Only in My Dreams" 1987-this is catchy. I like it. She still performs it too.
96 Men at Work / "Down Under" 1982-ok, good song.
97 The Romantics / "What I Like About You" 1980-No. No. What I hate about this song...I just...do...
98 Bobby Brown / "My Perogative" 1988-Britney's is so totally much better. Ha! was I kidding just now?
99 Wang Chung / "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" 1986-Is this a one-hit wonder too? I honestly don't know what to say about this one.
100 Loverboy / "Working for the Weekend" 1981-should be up higher.

Can I Manage The Waste?

I voted this morning. I voted to not retain ANY judges. Irresponsible? Perhaps, but running Judy fuckin BT is far more childish than anything I will EVER do...EVER. Also, why not make conceptual statements with a ballot. Thats why I voted for Bush. I didn't do that, actually. Or did I?

The poling people in Westchester are so kind! They are thrilled that someone under 70 is bothering to show up, they bend over backwards to be helpful and attentive. In 2004, I thought they were going to hand me flowers or something.

What was funny was this little foriegn guy directly in front of the door handing out pro-Republican pamphlets and apparently he has to be standing 100 feet away from the door. So the state election person kept running out there and yelling at him. He'd walk to this far away tree then immediately walk back to the door. Like a naughty 55 year old broken english speaking school boy. By the time I was walking out he had taken to yelling at voters, and I got an earful of "This state it hates republicans, it hates us, its all other people". Thats an exact quote. He walked next to me all the way to my car. All I could say is "yeah it sure does". I think I qualify as a filthy other person, though I dont hate anybody, really. Or do I?

Oh, and I got to show up an hour late for work, so I drove around blaring some Silver Apples and Double Leopard action before giving up and pulling into the office parking lot. Thank god for democracy!

Rake soup!

Ain't No Woman...... Like Beth Ditto.

she's beautiful and i want her to be my wife. that is all.

funniest article i've ever read in the local newspaper....

Here is the Ted Nugent story that I found rather comical in a disturbing way. I really wanted to write about the great Halloween party I went to on Saturday and how many girls I made out with and how great it is to feed goats and go to pumpkin patches TWICE in the fall, but that's more of a diary entry I'm not sure anyone wants to hear about. : )

Nugent Gets Warm Wisconsin Welcome
Wisconsin State Journal :: LOCAL :: B3
Thursday, October 26, 2006
DANYA HOOKER dhooker@madison.com 608-252-6120

For the most part, liberal activists -- so often visible and audible at speeches by conservatives -- stayed away from a packed Union Theater on Wednesday night.
Those who did go, however, heard themselves described by outspoken rocker, hunter and gun rights activist Ted Nugent as dope-smoking hippies, mongrels and bloodsuckers.

And his declaration that "I'm hard-core right-wing" was met with enthusiastic applause on the overwhelmingly left-wing UW-Madison campus.

Nugent stormed the stage holding a set of antlers and sporting a graying ponytail beneath his camouflage cowboy hat. "I came to Wisconsin, first and foremost, because you have too many deer," he said. "And I can fix that."

Nugent, 58, brought to Madison by the conservative student group Collegians for a Constructive Tomorrow, spent most of his rowdy and profane speech somewhere between politically incorrect and offensive.
On the issue of homelessness, Nugent said, "Conservatives see a beggar on the street. What I do is I kneel down and I say Hey (expletive), there's a help wanted sign right there.' A liberal will give 'em $5 and he'll turn around and buy drugs and the liberal will just help kill the (expletive) quicker."

On welfare recipients, he said, "I know a couple of soldiers who can't get wheelchairs -- they had their legs blown off -- because some (expletive) in Detroit has to get some more bling bling," Nugent said.

While most of the audience applauded Nugent's rants, the few dissenters made their presence known during the question and answer session. One attacked Nugent's lack of service during the Vietnam War, calling him a "a yellow-bellied, traitorous, coward," touching off a two-minute profanity match that ended with the man being ushered away.

Concerns over Nugent's comments on homelessness and welfare were met with the same disregard for opposition. "I hate excuses," Nugent said.

But most of the questioners just wanted to know the basics, such as what kind of hunting bow he uses (a lightweight bow with handmade cedar arrows) and how long it took him to write the guitar solo from "Stranglehold" (one spontaneous, unedited take in a studio).

Above all, Nugent asked the audience to stay off drugs, protect the country and the Constitution -- especially by joining the National Rifle Association -- and to be vocal. "Study history and by God don't let the horrors of our past history be repeated because we're too weak to stand up and protest. Think Rosa Parks."

This Just In

Yeah, I'm sure those of you in the know already know about this...but I'm excited. From MySpace:

NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE

LIVE AT THE FILLMORE EAST 1970


Legendary Album Available For the First Time

Features Original Crazy Horse Lineup

Release Date: November 14, 2006


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Neil Young & Crazy Horse’s concerts on March 6th and 7th, 1970 at New York’s Fillmore East have been the subject of legend for decades. The nights featured Young with the original lineup of Crazy Horse: Danny Whitten (guitar, vocals), Ralph Molina (drums, vocals), Billy Talbot (bass) and Jack Nitzsche (electric piano), performing at the very peak of their powers. Those two nights are among the only officially recorded shows of the band with these members, and as the debut release of the Neil Young Archives Performance Series, the album Live At The Fillmore East will be available November 14, 2006 on Reprise Records.

In 1969, Neil Young--fresh from a stint in Buffalo Springfield and his debut solo album on Reprise Records--discovered a band performing in Los Angeles that quickly became Crazy Horse. Going into the studio to record “Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere,” the band immediately gelled into one of the all-time great live groups. Though they only existed for a brief period in their original lineup, their mark on music has remained indelible. Bassist Billy Talbot and drummer Ralph Molina were joined by guitarist Frank “Poncho” Sampedro after guitarist Danny Whitten’s premature death in 1972 to continue Crazy Horse right up to the present.

Live At The Fillmore East has been the subject of devotion among Neil Young followers since the shows themselves in 1970, when Young and Whitten’s dueling guitars were credited as one of the best match-ups in rock history. As heard on these six songs from those concerts, they perfectly illustrate exactly why. Joined by producer-arranger legend Jack Nitzsche on electric piano, a sometimes member of Crazy Horse, the Fillmore East shows are a landmark in Young’s unequaled musical career.

Along with the single-disc Live At The Fillmore East album, a special CD & DVD combo-pak will also be available on November 14th. The DVD includes a Hi-Res Stereo version of the album, along with rare photos from the concert, Young’s handwritten song lyrics, archival press articles and other rare memorabilia and documents relating to the concerts and this period of Neil Young’s career.

"Come On Baby, Lets Go Downtown"


WHOOOOOOO-WEEEEEEE!!!!!

Uhh Oh Shit Uhhh Oh Shit Uhh-Huh Oh Shit Ungh Oh Shit

Yesterday was the most incredible day...I've been struggling (valiantly, of course) with the content for Splish, Reconsidered, and yesterday, fuck man, I was on fire! I finished the text to "Condoleeza Stole It!" and "The Getting Tried As An Adult Blues" as well as making BIG DECISIONS on the rest, so Im super excited. The whole Splish thing was suppsoed to be done in a week in April! So here it is...and everything is movin and groovin.

Also, I LOVE this weather...everything Ive ever felt can be explained by looking at the sky this morning. I peeled into work going back and forth between Hamster Baby and For Tammy Rae, I think those two song are the twin poles of my personality.

Falling Deep 6 is mailed out on Monday, tail end of the month, but still october. 7 will be a week later. this is all cuz the December one is going to come out at the bgeinning of december! so you can enjoy the xmas cheer all month. also starting with december, theyll come out at the beginnign as opposed to the end of the month. Oh, did anyone at all listen to Falling Deep 5 front to back? Is the thrill gone? Is the honeymoon over? Well, too fucking bad, cuz its all part of the 21st version of the BLASTING CONCEPT, and unlike my hero Greg, Im not smoking a pound of dope a day (or ever for that matter), so I wont burn out and go away, cuz yeah I alienate people all naturally! Ha-ho!

So...apparently my hair is all tangled up and people at work are making fun of me. All I do is wash it and leave. I dont own a comb or brush, so its amazing i dont get made fun of every single day.

Ok, back to december stuff so i guess were doing a xmas party, cool with me...Im going to put out some cool stuff around xmas, I hope youll all enjoy it. Its nifty. Should have been done in 2004, but it fucked up and 2005 I was umm what was I doing at xmas of 05 i guess I was being LAZY. Oh I know I think I was doing Aluminum Farm.

It originally seemed like I had so much to say in this opst, vital important stuff, but its all SPAZZ and useless. Hmmm

Here, here are somesong lyrics

from like one of the greatest songs ever, I hope you get real into it. oh uhhhh
oh huh

ok, words, not music

WE LOVE YOU (M. Jagger/K. Richard/B. Jones)
We don't care if you only love "we"
We don't care if you only love "we"
We love you
We love you, and we hope that you will love "we" too
We love "they"
We love "they", and we want you to love "they" too

We don't care if you hound "we"
and love is all around "we"
Love can't get our minds off
We love you, we love you
You will never win "we"
Your uniforms don't fit "we"
We forget the place we're in
'Cause we love you
We love you
Of course, we do

I love you
I love you
And I hope that you won't prove wrong too
We love you. We do. We love you. We do.

awe man I always miss out on the free shit.......

Staring Into The Face

"There's no question that we want to have a marketing boost right now; it's important to us," said Lt. Gen. Robert L. Van Antwerp...

And Gen. Bobby is referring to that nasty hindrance to consumer confidence (the identity being consumed, is though not unlike a beer commercial far more time consuming among other factors), that darned war.

And this new Army slogan...Army Strong, wow gosh that makes this whole thing seem so, well, righteous! And a marketing campaign for war, I mean thats unprecedented...umm, right?

Van Antwerp acknowledged that negative news from Iraq "is a factor" that can inhibit young people from joining the Army...hmmm I guess they just arent patriotic enough. How about recruiting being worked into public schools? You have to pass a recruiting course before you get to take any extra-curriculars?

But all this blood and doom and atrocity-based-mirth-making is fish in the barrel, the real crux of the real evil here is who the army has hired to helm the "correction of our perception" that the war is fucking disgusting and evil, because the problem they face is an "ethereal" one that goes beyond money and erm status (?). These masters of the mind, these mystery busters are the GENIUSES at the not all creepily named McCann Worldgroup. $200 Million Dollars to come up with "ARMY STRONG", and thats been the cheapest part of the war so far.

Ive spent the better part of the day reading the McCann Worldgroup website, and Im utterly speechless. I beg you to take a few minutes out of your day to read what the masters of the establishment, the dealers at the floating crap game that our country has become have to say about selling YOU your lifestyle and opinions, and Id give them special credit for marketing death as an attractive possiblity to an 18 year old, but Budwesier, Coors etc have them all beat by several decades.

Heres a link to McCann http://www.mccann.com/

We're gonna have a good time!

Happy birthday.

EXCITING ROCK N ROLL NEWS YOU CAN UEWS

Now when one talks about double albums (as one naturally does) one would (naturally) think of timeless masterpieces that chronicle fevered heights of inspiration such as Elton John's Blue Moves (1976), Yes' Tales Of The Topographic Oceans (1974), Electric Light Orchestra's Out Of The Blue (1977), Nine Inch Nails The Fragile (1999), Bone-Thugz-N-Harmony's The Art Of War (1997), and the latest addition to the pantheon The Red Hot Chili Pepper's Stadium Arcadium (2006).

One with taste would of course NEVER think of such bloated and embarrassing indulgences from marginal artists like Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland (1969), Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica (1969), Funkadelic's America Eats Its Young (1972), The Minutemen's Double Nickels On The Dime (1984), Marvin Gaye's Here, My Dear (1979) and the latest addition to the future-nobody-hall-of-fame The Microphone's The Glow Pt. II (2001).

Well those with taste can rest easy because a new double album is being released exclusively through FLUXMUSIC. It was created by formerly obscure artist Three Quid who recently took England by storm, and it is titled ...And Then Jack White Lost His Fucking Mind. Let me as someone with musical authority and integrity say that I think it is a remarkable listening experience, one that easily has the depth and richness of R. Kelly's classic double epic R. (1998).

It is available for immediate order as of this morning.

Below is the track listing, and take the time to admire the perfect mathematical symmetry with which the sequence is constructed. Three Quid's blossoming reputation is quickly being entirely based on such mathematic execution.

Side One:
Seven Nation Army
Top Special
The Denial Twist
The Denial Twist
The Denial Twist
Blue Orchid

Side Two:
Seven Nation Army
Walking With A Ghost
The Denial Twist
The Denial Twist
Who's A Big Baby?
Go It Alone

Side Three:

Erm yes, you win by winning, how could I be so stupid

So well, umm hmmm...the war doesnt antaganize terrorists, according to our great leader. Right...yes...constantly blowing up people and decimating their land and dictating what their policies should be would NEVER antaganize anyone, I mean when they knocked down some of our buildings, we all took it in stride. No one here wanted to put a boot in anyone's ass. We didn't go and beat up Hindus (not Muslims, really? you mean they arent the same?). We didn't come up with the thinnest reasons for a war that we have stupidly, steadfastly and unflinchingly clung to. I'm really glad everything in Washington and elsewhere is so Sensible.

Any port in storm...etc etc

And one other thing...they LOVE us over there? Or have we forgotten? They appreciate EVERYTHING we're doing for THEM. They love us so much they fucking hate us. Cue 3 Doors Down I feel a new national anthem coming on.

cutest puppy in the world... and i'm holding it!

Happy Birthday Deanna.

I think you're 24 this year, congratulations...

Remember 5 years ago (were we ever so young) I had just gotten back from seeing the White Stripes put on a fucking blistering transcendent show in St Louis, and you were either coming or going to see them again over the course of your birthday.

Outside of shows, that was such a down, dark time for me and becoming friends with you (I had never even spent more than 10 min with Liz at that point) was such welcome bright spot. You were so full of joy and excitement and genuine love of art and rock and roll, I was always thrilled to talk to you.

And now its a half decade later, and christ we've done so much together. We've crammed so much into what amounts in life to a very short time. My friendship with you has outlasted most of the "big names" of my past, and Im glad it has.

And look how far you've come...look at how much you've accomplished. Look at how much you've developed over the years. Who would have thought five years ago youd be living in Oak Park, dating a cool person and LIVING THE DREAM! And still...your basic character traits are still there, your unabashed guileless love for works of inspired creation, your honesty, your sincerity, your ability to listen to me talk and talk and talk...and all the other stuff like fussiness, narcissism and anal retentiveness. I'm kidding of course...but you knew I couldnt be that nice for that long! Anyway, Im glad I know you, (so is Liz) and I hope you have a wonderful day, and I cant wait to wish you happy 29th in 2011 (God willing and all that...wow bush will be out of office, the planet will be 80 degrees all the time...what a wonderful world)!

Happy Birthday D!

Oooh boy, aint that the truth

And in the end the worms were drained of their blood fat and masked for sale inside of blankets. They said "Hurray" and "Thank God" and "Oh, fuck no" but the moneychangers were obstinent and adolescent, so their pubic hair was sealed in carpenters glue and mailed to you. You of course were pleased and accepting only to find your easter ruined by wheels.

For this a gang of blue ribbon males with meatballs on forks were confiscated from the bordellos and shot bullets out fo their mouths which killed everyone who was deemed by Congress to be "bad".

Strictly Temporary

In some ways, this is an entirely irrelevant post, but I just want to express how hard Ive been working on Falling Deep 4. I've got the Songs For The Broken-Hearted more or less finalzed (one more track to uplaod), and all I have to do is put them in order. It was whittled down from around 3 hours of songs. I managed to find and download EVERY SINGLE SONG I have on vinyl and was unable to make digitial. I have been most persistent.

Songs for Lovers is more arduous, as it stands I have to cut out 20 minutes, and I have no idea where to start. This was cut down from 3 and 1/2 hours of music. But at least I can see the end of the tunnel.

I was going to rush and have them done this morning (mainly so I could get them to people at work so they could listen on their drive home), but Im taking the weekend to really make the sequence perfect.

I listened to every song at least twice yesterday and in a very rough order, and I have to say I think these discs are really going to be amazing. What I want is for people to either copulate or get pretty vlose at least during the first disc and for the 2nd disc, plain and simple I want them to cry. And I honestly think that will be achieved. This collection is pretty fucking intense.

So yeah, thats it.

THE LONG AWAITED SKEATER-KINNEY PORTLAND POST!!!

Yeah, good times. Pretty great. Good tunes.

One Man's Opinion Is Of Course Always Correct

Last night, Liz & I watched an appalling program on ESPN. It's called "Who's #1" and in this episode they ranked the Top 20 Boxers of all time. They were drastically wrong of course, so here is my enlightened and fair list...

1. Muhammad Ali- Faster than Robinson, stronger than Louis, craftier than Moore. He not only climbed the mountain, he stayed there.

2. "Sugar" Ray Robinson- Words simply cannot describe the artistic brilliance, physical perfection and heights of achievement this man rose to. Miles Davis in boxing gloves.

3. Archie Moore- Proof that no matter how dire the circumstances a man can always rise above. Archie won 194 (thank about it, 194) fights, and did not win his first title until he was 39. He held it for 8 years. Posessed an all encomapssing intellect. A man who was simply beyond the beyond.

4. John L. Sullivan- The first Heavyweight Champion, and the man who created the template for the modern fighter.

5. Joe Louis- Yes, certainly a deserving American icon. What counts though, is he cleaned out the division more comprehensively than anyone before or since, knocked out almost all his competition, held the title longer than anyone in any weight division (11 years), and had more defenses of said title than anyone in any division (26).

6. Henry Armstrong- Held 3 titles simultaneously. No one else has ever come close.

7. Julio Cesar Chavez- The model of the ultimate Mexican fighter. Won his first 87 fights.

8. Bob Fitzsimmons- All modern fighters owe their careers and vision to this man. Quite possibly the most underrated and revolutionary fighter to ever live.

9. Dick Tiger- Fierce, passionate and fascinating. A tribute to the strength of the will.

10. Willie Pep- A master of fistic brilliance, an amazing combination of power, speed and mental gymnastics.

11. George Foreman- Destroyed everyone up until Ali. Re-won title at 45, 20 years later. It speaks for itself.

12. Jack Johnson- What Frederick Douglas was to slavery, Jack Johnson was to boxing. A man who's mental gifts fed into his reinvention of all known boxing strategies.

13. "Sugar" Ray Leonard- Quite simply a genius, and easily a true master of his craft. The man beat every major fighter of his time, in an endless variety of styles, all topped off with his boundless charisma.

14. Gene Tunney- A massive step on the evolutionary chart of the Heavyweights. The first to combine fluid motion with precise punching combinations, this seriously underrated man not only carried his title with dignity, but paved the way for Ali.

15. Marvin Hagler- The human melting point between aesthetic perfection and intuitive inspiration. A man of greatness who fought with every molecule of his Self.

16. Roberto Duran- "Hands Of Stone", never has a fighter had a more fitting nickname. An indomitable spirit who's stamina allowed him to fight for decades.

17. Carlos Monzon- Exclude for a moment Monzon's obvious demons. Focus on where he shined as a human, and very few shined brighter. A Middleweight of incredible gifts and stamina as evidenced by his 14 title defences.

18. Jack Dempsey- A true legend, a truly incredible fighter. The man who blasted through conventions are invented himself as a fierce individual with the ability to make grown men fearful. His fight with Luis Firpo alone justifies his greatness. Had as many as 125 unrecorded knockouts.

19. Bernard Hopkins- A man of eternal inner strength and reserve. A man who refused to be compromised by the business and politics of his time. A man who's craft improved and deepened the longer he fought. A man who's discipline never wavered. Without any doubt, the best fighter of his generation.

20. Ezzard Charles- The single most overlooked and undervalued Heavyweight Champion, ever. It's simple, he was one of the greatest Light Heavyweights ever, and once he became Heavyweight, reigned at the very top his division fighting glorious bouts with Jersey Joe Walcott. Ezzard was an entirely new breed of fighter, who made angles, understood every nuance of the ring and fought with is mind as much as his fists.

The Next Ten (because 20 is Way too few)
21. Tony Zale
22. Stanley Ketchel
23. Bob Foster
24. Lennox Lewis
25. Sandy Saddler
26. Larry Holmes
27. Jose Torres
28. Rocky Marciano
29. Kid Gavilan
30. Carmen Basilio
