Like most times I catch the show on PBS, I've already missed at least the first half. Tonight, no different. This time it was the fuckin Pixies!! and I saw the last 3 songs, 'Hey', 'Gigantic' the encore 'Caribou'. In honor of 12 minutes of the best TV I've seen in the last month, here are the top 8 Pixies songs of all time, in no particular order:
Bone Machine
Break My Body
Caribou
Gigantic
Gouge Away
I've Been Tired
Levitate Me
The Holiday Song

What I Need
About a week off where I can spend my time cataloging all my music. I've added so much stuff since I got the external harddrive I know my master list is sadly out of date and needs to be updated.
Also, another external harddrive. At least 160GB this time.
A box of blank DVDs to back up my music harddrive.
A way to get the dead bug out of my clock.

Top 7 Albums That Begin With S
no particular order
1. Screamadelica - Primal Scream. The best of the late 80s early 90s Brit trip pop. Perfect for: the hashish clouded co-ed dorm room.
2. Shoot Out The Lights - Richard & Linda Thompson. The sound of a marriage falling apart. Perfect for: the first three weekends after a breakup.
3. Sign O' The Times - Prince. The Minneapolis Imps masterpiece. Perfect for: the first three weekends of a new relationship.
4. Slanted & Enchanted - Pavement. Lo-fi magic from the kings of lo-fi. Perfect for: impressing that barista with the tongue ring.
5. Spiderland - Slint. Lost classic, laid the heavy guitar blueprint for current breed of screamcore. Perfect for: US Interstate 95 at 3am.
6. Sticky Fingers - Rolling Stones. Among the greatest of all time, the Stones at their best. Perfect for: tailgating with your cool uncle.
7. Surfer Rosa - The Pixies. What the fuck is he saying? Where's my spanish dictionary? Who cares. Perfect for: under the bleachers with two fat joints.

Employee Appreciation Day
Its a happy time, where I spend my hard earned cash at the store that gives me the large discount and gives me the opportunity to buy CDs I wouldnt even buy at my standard discount, mainly to fill in my catalog and to try new stuff. This years take, part 1:
Can - Tago Mago
Otis Redding - Otis Blue
Thelonoius Monk Quartet w/ John Coltrane - At Carnegie Hall
Richard Thompson - Grizzly Man (soundtrack)
Talking Heads - Fear of Music
Richmond Fontaine - Post To Wire
also, now that Joy is gone, I have no one to burn me alternative rock cds in exchange for something from my list.
The Can is interesting, might have to check out some more.
Have rediscovered the Talking Heads after listening to 'side 1' of Remain in Light over and over again. World Music for people who hate world music.

Happy Happy Joy Joy
I feel blessed. I am in love with two different sports, and because of their schedule, never the twain shall meet. Well, almost.
Tonight College basketball began when Duke beat BU, a scrappy America East team that should win 20+ and be a tourney team come March. The beginning of the season comes during the week that Major League Baseball announces their award winners, a sure sign that the World Series ended about two weeks ago.
The worst two weeks every year, that small nulltime between MLB & NCAA BB.
The only weekend they overlap is at the end of the NCAA tourney, Final Four weekend is the first in April, the same as opening day. So, overlap is a weekend.
Boy this post sucked, but since I have so few I might as well keep it.

My Friend Dave. He Is Very Smart
The man who followed me as Executive Editor of
the Press and the reaper of the seed I sowed, now
works for Forbes.com,he created this. I take full
responsibility for his genius.
"Forbes.com on Communicating," a mammoth special report
that published this morning. It's the first project I've
edited at Forbes.
It's really huge: more than 40 feature articles and
interviews, 90 minutes of audio, 20 minutes of video,
and interactive elements including an application that
allows you to e-mail yourself decades into the future.
We pulled in contributors ranging from Kurt Vonnegut
to Noam Chomsky to Walter Cronkite.
You can see the final product at
