On the Table

Songs in my head:
"On the Table" by Carl Newman
"Hotel California" (acoustic) by the Eagles
"The Concept" by Teenage Fanclub
"Black Star" by Radiohead
"Black and White Town" by Doves

Just because I'm curious about how many visitors this site has and because Kev has one, I now have a Site Meter.

While I'm still hobbling around, I took Juliet for a walk last night. The weather was so good that I just couldn't pass the opportunity up.

Lil' Jon tells MTV that his fans will never get tired of crunk. Sure, I think I could hear his songs (along with a lot of other rap/hip hop songs) played on an "oldies" radio station in the future. Since a lot of these kinds of songs are created with timeless melodies, understandable lyrics and universal messages, people will want hear these songs over and over again for many, many years. (I hope you sense the sarcasm)

Isn't there a relatively smaller venue inside Madison Square Garden? If there is, that could explain this.

Us Americans can be happy that this DVD is out today after being available across the pond for a number of months.

I had never heard this record until I needed some more songs for the Anti-Valentine's mix CDs. I heard that the album was all about break-ups, so after going through a few tracks, I was really struck by "Fooled With the Wrong Guy." The whole album is really good even though the overall tone is very somber.

I have heard some of the new Doves record, Some Cities. I really dig what I heard, especially "Black and White Town" and "Snowdon."

One With the Force

For as long as I have been alive, Star Wars has been in my life. I was only a year old when The Empire Strikes Back came out, a time when apparently a lot of people were angry about the twist that revealed Luke Skywalker’s parentage. I was not aware of this until I was in college, and frankly, does it really matter about the twist or the context of the day for fans? I think it does, as history has a way of repeating itself. These eleven films (along with a couple of animated shows, a holiday special, and a couple of live action shows) continue to mean something, even when they come out to mixed reviews. The Star Wars saga itself is bigger than those reactions, and I’m happy to see the saga transcend generations. I’m only a few days removed from seeing The Rise of Skywalker for the first time. I thought it was a fantastic film in the Skywalker saga. And since I’m not a filmmaker or a producer, I’m not one to make a bold claim about how I would have done it better. Because Star...
