from the newsgroup this week:

When the criticism about a pro football team is that they are scoring too
many points, it has truly entered into the arena of the surreal, and
suggests that we are winessing a uniquely phenomenal team.

3 hours till game time :) Ah you know, the Dolphins shut out the pats last year. I was so pissed off anyways I don't think I even really paid much attention, just recorded the game and figured. I had fully been expecting such a loss to be honest, for many reasons. Miami is SUCK to play there, they always have a good defense, the history of games, their surprising me in 2003 after I'd slept through the game and hearing about it on AM, with the fluke loss. I dunno, I don't have that feeling today. I think it's gonna be a party :) Come over!!!

Look at this guy's youtube videos... An entire concert with Elliott Smith songs :)

This song blows me away, it's a lot deeper than I thought the first couple dozens of times I was compelled to listen :) Lord this guy has some beautiful, awesome songs :)

Memo to Human Resources
They Might Be Giants

I'll be in the back, and I don't need the help
I'm good here in the back
I'm good all by myself
I'm busy taking stock of all the things that I've forgot (5 4 3 2)
And making mental notes of just exactly where I lost the plot (2 2 2 2)

I stuck around too long feeling sorry for myself
A disinvited guest rifles through the bathroom shelf
I'm searching for some disbelief that I can still suspend (5 4 3 2)
But never mind the furthermore-the plea is self-defense again (2 2 2 2)

Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don't need advice-I'm down

Later in my car I considered what you said
I'm good here in my car
I'm good with what you said
And I'd be shouting out to you but I was mighty hoarse
Talk you through the finer points and issues much too small to force

Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice
Then the people came to talk me down
But I don't need advice-I'm down

Found last.fm like in April, same time I found my little pink ipod (gone now). Also, started using Amarok pretty intensively at that time. Have gotten used to rating every song I hear the first time to get that "last played" date in the database, as well as a playcount, and most importantly a rating, in the Amarok database. Of course, last.fm is fun too. Anyways, my top song on last.fm, "A lack of color" by Death Cab for Cutie, I was in the mood to listen to tonight so I pulled it up. And while I rate a lot of songs 5 of 5 stars just cause they impress upon me that they are awesome (say just about every Meshuggah, Slayer, Opeth, etc. song) (also other albums I give about every song 5 stars, is fun to find a new album and when it's over realize I gave every song 5 stars heh, is how Amarok is so fun, it uses a database to keep track of all the stats etc. Of course, upon 2nd or 3rd or whatever listen I often revise my ratings, is a way of choosing what songs. Anyways, Amarok scores songs too, and I've found workarounds (learned some sql programming) to make it more like I like it :) Every 11th of every month I subtract 1 point of a max 99 point rating from every song in my collection, in the database. That way slowly, My favorite songs really are on top, because I listen to them most recently you know, and on a month by month basis (30 days) you can listen to a lot of songs so I feel 1 month is a good time to subtract 1/100 of score :) Otherwise I already was ending up with like a ton of songs with almost max score, and this way I have some differentiation. It is amazing how fast time flies :P I look at song fresh in head and it says I last listened to it 1 week ago. Anyways the reason I decided to write this blog post, is my top song on last.fm, and it has many dozen plays in my car or stupid-assed cd-player before it broke (before I bought ipod? I dunno) anyways I know I played it a lot, I noticed a little bit ago I had rated it 4.5 stars on first listen. I fixed it, but ya is fun to just go with flow and rate whatever and not worry :) Peace out!!! (pretty sure I misplaced a parenthesis somewhere in this post)

huh

I have no idea. Honestly, no idea at all.

Finally listened to enough Porcupine Tree to have it jump up one on my chart :) I don't manipulate my charts other than I use it to choose what sort of music I'm in the mood to listen to, sometimes. I have been trying really hard to not listen to my top 2 bands because obviously I listened to the living crap out of them earlier this year :) Been slipping and letting a lot of Maroon 5 play though...their new album is freaking tight, at least. I just listen to whatever I'm in the mood to listen to, been mostly into the Flaming Lips, Meshuggah, Hum, Jeff Buckley, Blonde Redhead, and well last couple weeks I was having a Buckcherry week, they aren't really that bad heh. My stats would obviously be a lot different if it recorded what I listened to in my car, but it'd take a lot of money to get that going, unfortunately. I'd like to just go buy another little pink ipod shuffle but I was disapointed in the manner it handled played song counts, may as well save up for something a little bigger with a little more functionality (miss that thing though :)

I was sent to outer space
To find another happy place
Now I'm left here all alone
Million miles away from home

Floating through the galaxy
All the stars in front of me
Now I'm left here all alone
Million miles away from home

pink powah!!!

These guys are awesome. I think everyone should wear pink more. I know it gives me a feeling of power...I love my old Daylight Donut shirts still :)

Will end this post with a post following my sentiment... Not good to be cocky though, the last time Pats played Chargers in Foxboro San Diego pretty much dominated... Am really looking forward to the game, both teams have some great players.... It feels so good that football season finally is in swing :)

nice web, crack spider

Check out this web in Texas! Twice the size of a football field!

Best band!
