“I got your beef taco right here!”
– Classy lady at the Giants game last night.

Neil Young & Wilco. Madison Square Garden. 12/15/08. Sign me up.
a stadium of GIANTS!
Pat Raison is in town. Pat rarely leaves the safety and security of Alexandria, VA, so it was nice to see him. It’s funny… whenever I used to visit NOVA when I lived in Radford, I felt like the country mouse. Last night, driving through Jersey traffic to get to Giants Stadium, Pat said he felt like country mouse. Oh how the tables turn!
Pat and his co-worker, Tom, scored free...

This is heartbreaking. This man has the largest music collection in the world, valued at over $50 Million. Because of failing health, he’s trying to sell it to $3 Million. Someone should start a fund to purchase this collection and donate it to the Library of Congress. THEY don’t even have all of this.
coming soon....
Thanks to Kristen for this. She’s going to force me to see it. Think there’s a part for Ben Seaver in this?

This girl, Lin Miaoke, was the one seen on TV during the Olympic opening ceremony. But she was…..lip syncing.
This girl, Yang Peiyi, was singing.
FAKE! YOU LOSE!
Blame it on the rain, Yang Peiyi….. blame it on the rain……
all the king's servants i knew, just stayed dirty
Typically, I don’t want to know what’s going on behind the scenes at my favorite fast food haunts. I like the whole “if I didn’t see it” mentality… that makes me feel okay as I’m biting into a Whopper. The same goes for most “fast” restaurants that I frequent. If I didn’t see the rat, the rat doesn’t exist… going along with...
McCarren Park Pool. 8/24.
The last free pool party….will just happen to be the first one I attend. Hate to see them going away. I can’t miss…….YO LA TENGO! Are you jealous, Sarah Raison?!?!? You damn well should be! FREE!

now playing - 49:00 - paul westerberg
[cover from pitchforkmedia.com]
Stylem wouldn’t let me add this to my now playing list, so I felt that this album deserves an entry all by itself. For a time you could purchase the new album from Paul Westerberg, entitled “49:00”, for 49 cents from Amazon or Tunecore. It’s easily one of Westerberg’s greatest albums EVER. Thems big words, I know. Since 2002, Paul...

So I went ahead and broke down and created a twitter. “Everyone” was doing it, and I just can’t be left out of the mainstream. http://twitter.com/sonicdork . I’ll probably add a feed here eventually.
My cousin Michael came to visit this weekend with his girlfriend Jess. They were here for All Points West. It was great to see him again. We used to be really close back in...
just west of all points west
So All Points West is going down this weekend, and I don’t really know what to think. I hope it makes a little money so they decide to do it again next year, but hopefully with a better lineup. Em was going to come up for the show, but decided at zero hour that she wanted to save some money. Which is okay with me… there will be plenty of times to see Radiohead (those sad bastards with...

mailman (as I open the door): kristen?
me: no, she's my wife.
mailman (in a thick Jersey accent): good enough for me.

GO HERE and download the new single, “Strange Overtones”, from David Byrne and Brian Eno. Amazing. Much more straightforward and Talking Heads-y than anything off of My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts….. but that’s to be expected.
The new album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, will be available on that same website later this month. Free to stream. David Byrne will...
