F*#@bird!!

I hated the song Freebird from a very young age. I used to leave the arcade and sit outside until it was done playing on the jukebox and it was safe to go back inside. Hadn't heard it in years, but it still has the same effect.

I just had to watch Californication with the sound off and closed captioning on because of repeated blasts of my sonic nemesis. Like brussel sprouts, I have never acquired the taste. How in the world did that ever become an iconic song? It's so terrible.

Just another Sunday driver?

where are my posts??

So I guess it's not working to post from my phone anymore. Bummer, gotta figure that out.

Really late to this damn party.

People have many times told me last.fm was cool but I never even checked it out. STUPID ME. Pretty cool. I am spending today reliving the 90s in LA and SF. Little bit of Ed Hall, some Cows, johnboy, Boss Hog, Drive Like Jehu, Pain Teens, TFUL282, Girls vs. Boys, Melt-Banana and lots more.

I saw some great fucking shows the first half of that decade.

Anyone use last.fm? Got suggestions of others like that? My eyes are open to the coolness now.

Anyone know what's in it for them? It's not hugely ad filled.

What did Sasha dig up today?

Hands free to be an even bigger idiot.

Two weeks into phones being illegal while driving there is an unexpected and super sucky side effect. Now every one has two hands to change lanes more aggressively. Seriously, people seem to think they are race car drivers now.

You have a hand free now. Use the turn signal!!!

He's a KC boy now.
