I totally dig these ladies.
"Middlesex County" kicking my arse right now.

Brought the noise, brought the funk.

My roommate senior year in college has stopped doing the reggae thing, and started doing a solo/accoustic/folky set at the Paradise Lounge.

He did name his most recent album, "Twitter, Buzz, Howl"

However, there will be nothing punk about this show. I'll probably be going by myself.

... And she appears to be an idiot.

Not the mind bender it could've been, there is a fair amount of rehashed stuff here too, but over all awesome. I even like the R&B track 'Those were the Days'.

For some odd reason it won't play in my fancy-pants NAD t-512 CD/DVD/MP3 player, but will in the $49 ghetto blaster... Is ther some f-ed up anti-pirate coding on this bitch?

The new album, Return to Cookie Mountain, totally kicking me in the ass right now... Is it Wilco mashed with Bad Brains? Or is it the Beta Band mashed with Trent Reznor's long lost punk band? Who knows... Thoroughly enjoyable, and possibly album of the year.

Wasn't expecting much, but I had a lot of fun.
The thing with musicals is that they tend to be so cheesy that we cringe and feel bad for the people acting, live, right in front of us, on stage. I swear there were only a few cringe-worthy moments during High Fidelity, most noticeably with the pentultimate song, a love song. The vast majoirty of the songs were wonderfully apathetic, self-aware, and as expected they drop record Fagens like a mo-fo; ie they show Rob receiving a Beatles' "Butcher Album" from the postman without even talking about it.

I saw the film twice in 2 days when it first came out (Both times by myself. Yep, I loved it.) so that may make me rate the film over the stage production, but there were a couple moments that surpassed the film, including the fantasy fight sequence when Ian (Tim Robbins) visits Championship Vinyl, Rob's (John Cusak) record store, where Rob's 20 second fantasies get more and more violent. In the musical, the fantasies start with a Guns and Roses style song and a mild fight, then a death metal-ish kung fu segment, and finishing with a gansta rap tune that concludes with a "I'll be pissin' on your grave" chorus and three girls dressed in white lycra doing the booty shake over Ian's shot dead body. Very funny and there was wild applause.

...please visit here and vote for your favorites. Not sure how much $$ is at stake, but it can't hurt, can it?

Do not be fooled into thinking this is an urban myth! It isn't. I got this email from a serious and esteemed friend.

HOME DEPOT SCAM

A "heads up" for you and any friends you have who may be regular Home Depot customers.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you.

Here's how the scam works:

Two seriously good-looking 18 or 19-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of

Downstairs, Thursday June 8th, Dungen.
Yes, they sing everything in Swedish.
Yes, they sound like a Syd Barrett outfit with George Harrison on guitar.
Yes, taking illicit drugs before/during their show is encouraged.
Yes, I already have a ticket.
And No, you might not like them at all.
