Freaking. Great. Song…
“Good Things” by The Bodeans
Big thanks to the DJ at 92.9 Dave FM for playing this and for telling me the title and artist when I was headed to trivia Tuesday night.

I Can. Not. Stop. Listening. To. This.
Thursday, October 16th, 2008Wordle Quiz Friday Fun Fight Championship
Friday, July 18th, 2008See if you can guess these songs by their visual representation of their lyrics. The more common a word is in the song, the larger it is in the image. Wheee! Fun right?
First person to post all 10 correctly in the comments wins nothing, save some respect or something. Not from me, mind you – I ain’t got no respect left to give, players.

By the way, is it weird that I want to frame some of these and put them up on my wall?

Bad, Bad Idea, Myspace
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008Whoever decided that incorporating a karaoke feature into Myspace obviously didn’t count on me abusing it for all it’s worth. I know I can’t sing – does that stop me? No. I know I make a fool of myself – does that stop me? No. Besides, it’s ultimately about the feeling, and this rendition of Joe Cocker’s cover of “With A Little Help From My Friends” has got feeling out the yin-yang. So much, in fact, I might have blown out the microphone. Do not crank this one. In fact, don’t even listen to it. Just skip this post altogether.

My Radiohead Dream Setlist
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008As mentioned prior, I, along with Maya, Kevin, and Mike, will be going to see Radiohead this Thursday night at Lakewood Amphitheatre.
I tried my best to refrain from seeking out the setlist from the first show of the U.S. leg of the tour which was last night in W. Palm Beach, but that lasted all of no time at all. Not surprisingly (and I don’t think this would be a spoiler), a large majority of the setlist was from “In Rainbows”. Which is great and all – but I was thinking: If I could do my dream setlist for the band (and actually restrict it and not just say, “Play every song from every album”), what would it be? I decided to pick 23 songs as that’s how many they played last night (!!) in West Palm. Anyone care to chime in? Additions? Subtractions?

The reality is that housing is not an investment. It’s shelter. That is all housing has ever been. Self-serving organizations like the National Association of Realtors like to tell people that buying a home is a good way to build long-term wealth, but this statement couldn’t be further from the truth. (Rent Vs. Buy Myths That Ruined the Housing Market – via Kottke.org)
As a renter, it’s nice to hear this considering we’re all continuously led to believe that home ownership is a primary determinant in whether you’re a first-class citizen or not. (Full disclosure – the money I’m saving by renting isn’t exactly going towards true investments, so I’m hardly perfect.)

Basically, the small plastic ball is called a widget. The purpose of the widget is to release CO2 from some of the beer in the can to create the head. It is meant to mimic the texture and head of Guinness on tap.
I kinda thought everyone knew this. But the scientific explanation is pretty cool, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Dr. Congressman Ron Paul’s supporters took “grass roots politics” to its ultimate, ridiculous extreme. They brought fun to politics — even if they didn’t see the humor — and the nation’s “Mainstream Media” will always be thankful for the Paul fanatics.
Dismiss the fanatics (of which every candidate has) at your leisure, but dismiss the message at your peril. Make sure to read the comments from “June Melton” (4:55, March 8th) and “punkpunkbaby” (6:44, March 9th).

- Now we’re getting into personal territory when it comes to the dollar’s falling value (here’s a hint, guys: STOP BORROWING FROM THE FED AND STOP PRINTING MORE MONEY): This better not screw up my next visit to Amsterdam, because I’m going back to Amsterdam. They have beautiful canals.
I leave you with The Long Johns and a perfect, hilarious explanation of the subprime mortgage crisis…

… I will weep tears of joy.
I’m Sorry. Seriously.

Letterman Week! Day Six
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Why is this week Letterman week, you ask? Well I ask, “Why do you ask so many freakin’ questions?” Each day I’ll be featuring a clip from the Late Show With David Letterman 10th Anniversary Special which aired in 1993.
Today’s (and the last) video: Musical Guest Montage. See how many of the artists you can identify without Googling and pop ‘em in the comments. It took me a couple views but what I believe to be is the full, correct-and-in-order artist list is after the jump. (Ctrl-A to reveal)
