Oh crap

I 'd better update this thing. The awesome John Wise at the even more Awesomer OneGreatSeason.com was kind enough to give voice to my opinion of Colin Cowherd and linked to this blog.

drinks

I would enjoy having a beer with Burt Rutan and Russell Banks. For many reasons that I think are quite self evident. Who would you like to have a drink/blackout and a casual conversation with?

Do you want to know how good Albert Pujols is? His name is Poo holes, and no one makes fun of him.

This is awesome even though it's shot with a phone.

Annoying

Youtube headline reads "C6 acceleration" I'm thinking 'Hell Yes!!!! Can't wait to hear that monster pushed to the redline.' I then hear some horrible techno instead of the engine. Please fellow Youtubers, if you are posting a vid of your sweet a$$ hooptie lay off the music, any music. Allow the gloriousness of your motor to sound off.

P.S. please note the completely justifiable utterence made @ the 9 sec. mark.

video of the week

I have been known to experience earworms from time to time but this latest one is approaching 3 weeks in duration. Pretty much the most severe episode I have ever encountered. It started, innocently enough, while driving the family hauler, listening to the local radio station that promises "we'll play anything" to which I usually add, "as long as it sucks."
Anywho, it was beautiful early spring evening, sunny and warm, windows down sunroof open, wind in my bald, when I heard the synth intro. I recognized it immediately. Survivor with their not quite biggest hit, "High on You." Mullet driven, hard rock pop, ballad mid 80's hell/kitchy smarmy trash. Or MDHRPBM80'SH/KST for short.
That damn thing has been lodged inside my dome ever since, first thing in the morning, when I wake from sleep for that half wooden, half asleep trip to the bathroom. While running, while at work, while typing this crap.
I once, about 7 years ago had a horrible run of Billy Joel earworms, mostly "Uptown Girl," "Allentown," the song a bottle " a bottle of red..." whatever that is, and "Still Rock and Roll to me" But that now seems like a small creak compared to the mighty Mississippi that torment/entertains me day and night churning through my ears with line like, " I'm higher than a kite I know I'm getting hooked on your love." and "I'm screaming in the night I know I'm getting hooked on your love." and da Na na na Na na (wanker guitar hook)
So here it is, in all it's glory. Listen at your own peril, but please take note of the vidoes's high production value.

Survivor - High on You



Yes!!!. Is there a better example of mid 80's suck?? Yes, but I'm done typing for now. So bravely go forth and seek your own mid 80's suck, Im thinking The Outfield, the Hooter's or Rick Springfield...

Corcovado - Astrud Gilberto/Stan Getz

As a rule I have tried to show only videos or live performances. I live for breaking the rules. The sax is just dead on and Gilberto's voice makes me realise why I have enjoyed stereolab for low theses many years.

You made me Realise - My Bloody Valentine

I think this is my first repeat video, too lazy to look it up though and confirm.

I did make a good point, and yes I was gushing.

Go ahead and get excited Posted by jfay March 8th, 2010, 7:31 pm

from John Fay's Reds blog for the Cincinnati Enquirer.

"My friend Dude called about 10 minutes after I came up from the field after talking to Dusty Baker.

He wanted to express his love and admiration for Aroldis Chapman. He was riding the buzz create as details of Chapman’s spring debut flowed over the web. I usually try to curb his enthusiasm a bit when he gets worked up about his beloved Reds.

But I didn’t this time.

After nine losing season and an absolutely abysmal record of developing starting pitchers, I say: Dream big, Reds fans.

Chapman is a 100 mph throwing left-handed starter. The list of those begins and ends with Randy Johnson.

I’m not saying Chapman is going to be Randy Johnson, but he has a chance to be great.

In the five times I’ve seen him throw, I’ve seen nothing but good things.

So, again: Dream big, Reds fans.

Dude, after he was through gushing, made a good point.

“Chapman takes the pressure off (Homer) Bailey and (Johnny) Cueto,” he said. “They’re in the background now. Maybe that’ll get a chip on their shoulder because he’s getting all the attention.” "

Here is a link and yes, it is an honor to be called Dude, he dropped that label on me long before, " The Big Lebowski " saw the silver screen.

Evan Turner is going to be silly rich someday

Last night Evan Turner introduced himself to Player of the Year discussion.

I'm an idiot

So, Gruden wasn't on the tube (he was on the radio, and I heard some of the post-game show, and yes, he was awful.) imagine my delight and surprise when I heard old Uncie Brent and the pride of Centerville (besides AJ Hawk) on the the tele.
Crazy-A$$ game from a wagering standpoint. I went from Easy Money, to totally screwed and never gambling again, to miracle cover, to easy cover.

Congrats to Alabama, whatever.

Anyway, Video of The Week time.



Public Enemy - Shut'em down

John Gruden sucks

Brent Musberger and Kirk Herbstriet should be announcing the the BCS bowl game tonight, how ABC butchered this plan, not by installing another one of their college football broadcast teams, but by putting their Monday Night Football announcers, and then leaving out the good color guy, is beyond me.
Gruden provides little insight on MNF, now he is going to explain the intricacies of College football? I think not.
Chris Collinsworth will explain how a receiver cut his rout short, or how the fullback picked up a blitz, or how a tackle maintained his block. Gruden will say, "That's a great throw." I could go on with these type of made up examples, but I'm lazy, and you've got things to do. And, you know I'm right.

Also, Alabama will Roll.
1. Tougher schedule 2. Better Coach 3. 2 great running backs 4. Julio Jones is a SUPER STUD! 5. Better Special Teams 6. Better offensive line 7. Better D-fence 8. Revenge factor from last year's Sugar Bowl embarrassment.... Basically Alabama has an advantage at every position besides Q-back and a better coach. Alabama by 13+, book it.
