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."

Oh yeah, and happy belated birthday. I was out of town most of the weekend and took a while to get caught up on blog-reading, or I would've chimed in on the actual day.

Go Where You Wanna Go

It's been a year since I moved away from Lakewood, and even though I could relocate to a new place as a newly-single guy, I've chosen to stay where I am. I enjoy living in North Dallas/Richardson given its central location, being not too far away from places I have enjoyed going to in my fourteen-plus years living in Dallas County. Living in Lakewood for nine years was critical for me, but I am glad I don't have homeless people going through my garbage, my street getting shut down like it's Mardi Gras on Halloween night, and I don't have to answer to the not-so-friendly landlords who bought my old place. I have a new housemate moving in at the end of the month and I have many reasons to be excited as he's been a friend for many years. Couple that with a humongous  new record store opening in nearby Farmers Branch , shows to see, and a quick trip to Los Angeles for something very cool (for which I reveal at a later date) and I'm happy to say fall is sha...
