See 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?
Whoever 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.

As 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…
Why 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)
yo dave, c’mon man. let’s update this blog yo. I’m having withdrawl. - Dennis, Jan 18, 7:15 PM
Apologies. Here’s a smattering, a menagerie, a sprinkling if you will of goings-on and whatnot.
OMGCheckTheKidsOutOfSchoolAndGetToTheStoreForBreadAndMilkBeforeWeAllDieSnowJam 2008 arrived quietly Thursday and then with more of a vengeance on Saturday. Now that it’s already melting off, we can go ahead and start looking forward to the next one, likely three years from now.
Josh and I agree on enough things that it makes me slightly uncomfortable. A couple recent things that fit into this category: We both want to see a Packers/Pats Super Bowl, with the Pack coming out on top; and, you must must must see Once. You must. Do it. You then must get the soundtrack.
While you’re getting the Once soundtrack, do yourself a favor and check out “Boxer”, the latest album from The National.
This is just a blog by a guy named DAve who likes the Dawgs, college football, golf, music, a good bourbon, photos, design, Austrian economics, yadda, yadda, yadda. More?
