Makes You Feel Embarrassed
So I'm sitting here, Nolan with his bottle, Ranger with his treat, and me with my braunschweiger sandwich, or, what my friend Adam Topper calls "spreadable meat". And there's all sorts to say, more drum fill than drum beat.
* * *
Somebody ought to tell Dave Matthews (and his band) to stop releasing so many Goddamned live albums. Because when they actually get together to record a studio cd of new music, they stand up and show they are still a pretty good band.
* * *
The new Weezer album cannot be released fast enough.
* * *
The new Brendan Benson is here.
* * *
Rumors say one Mr. Neil Young is on a new label and has a new album out next month, although no title has been set. Other rumors say Neil is only doing one-spot shows all year; no touring.
* * *
Speculation now says Richard Ashcroft's new album -- and perhaps career -- may be on indefinite hold.
* * *
The thing about Cheerios is that no matter how hard I try to keep the bag shut and then clip the box tight . . . . By the end of the bag, there are always a couple cheerios at the bottom of the box, between it and the bag. And I always wonder how these loners, these runaway cheerios get out of the bag and hide down there at the bottom of the box.
* * *
What I get out of a lot of people -- and it's probably because people are so Goddamned political about everything these days -- is that they don't understand how I -- I -- could be a fan of X Band or Musician while also retain the views I hold. Or better yet: how I could be a fan of X and a fan of Y, because they don't have the same political opinions. And that argument is so ridiculous, I try not to even bother with the idiots -- the absolute raging fools -- who espouse it. Because:
a.) Who goes to musicians for political education or news?
b.) When has any musicisn been consistent on a political belief?
c.) Why does politics have to be attached to music?
d.) Could it have been the melody, not the message?
* * *
Speaking of which, you can all run over to Danny's House to listen to him whack those crazy people by the name of PETA, question my first name (perhaps a coming post for wrfarah.blogpsot.com!), and speak some sense about the number of beers we can all drink without getting silly.
* * *
For the record, there are very few jobs available in the Milwaukee area whose shift is from 4-12 with free parking. But that doesn't mean there are none . . . .
* * *
Nolan's getting pissed. Second Lunch is over, there's no more milk left, but he looks like he could go for some more. Time to go downstairs and try the swing.
