It's an Interpol kind of morning, you guys.

 

[Danny Boy]

The last Death Grips album cover was bad enough. I am NOT putting this in my iTunes.

 

[u2popmofo]

I've listened to this song nearly 10 times since getting the album late last night. The video is quite entertaining.

WHY? - Strawberries (Official Video) - YouTube

I think your iTunes deserves a say in the matter, at least.

 

[Reggo]

There's too much to catch up on.

Drive-by post from work. No interwebs access in North Ogden so far. A 90-minute drive to work is just...stupid. Sigh. Wish I had news, but I don't. The CDC people got the permit for the garage conversion, and apparently, the city inspector went through it yesterday, but there's no report of whether it passed or failed or what.

 

[u2popmofo]

How is it taking you 90 mins to get from Ogden to SLC?

ZOMG U GUISE, R U EXClTE 4 TEH DEBATEZ 2NITE???????????!111!1!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!

 

[Danny Boy]

No. I probably won't even watch because I don't need to see them reciting the party lines yet again.

I think I'll watch the Rangers go down in flames instead.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I think I'll watch the Rangers go down in flames instead.

The Texas Rangers? That game is in the 8th inning. It'll be over long before the debate starts.

I'm definitely gonna watch. The Barack Ness monster is my dude.

 

[u2popmofo]

No. I probably won't even watch because I don't need to see them reciting the party lines yet again.

Hahahaha, so true. I'm sure I'll end up watching, and just hate both parties more because of it.

 

[Danny Boy]

The Texas Rangers? That game is in the 8th inning. It'll be over long before the debate starts.

Doh!

I though it was a night game. I need to head over to the break room.

EDIT: It appears my "down in flames" prediction was correct, at least.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah. The Yankees and Orioles games are on tonight, though. Those still have some weight to them. I'll probably keep an eye on them. Go Orioles.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

ZOMG U GUISE, R U EXClTE 4 TEH DEBATEZ 2NITE???????????!111!1!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!

I'll be watching the debate, yeah. Wouldn't say I'm excited, though...rather, we'll call it a morbid curiosity.

Also, good to see you pop in, Reggo.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I've always really liked that heavy guitar line that runs through "Hell Of A Life." Don't know why it took me this long to look up the production credits on it. Found out that it was sampled from this:

The Mojo Men - She's My Baby - YouTube

Written by Sly Stone.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm going to see Glen Hansard (quite a shift from Madonna last night; I suspect there will be no ass-flashing at tonight's show), so I will miss the debate.

I'm DVRing it, although I suspect by the time I'm able to watch it tomorrow night, I'll be sick of hearing about it and will just delete the damned thing.

 

[cobl04]

I wasted an hour at work last week looking up samples from MBDTF. Devil in a New Dress is made from like seven seconds of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by Smokey Robinson. Amazing.

 

[iron yuppie]

Yeah. The Yankees and Orioles games are on tonight, though. Those still have some weight to them. I'll probably keep an eye on them. Go Orioles.

Yeah, the Orioles overtaking the Yankees in the AL East should be any baseball fan's dream who doesn't live in New York.

I'm still thinking of grabbing a double pass to ATP, assuming they're still up for grabs. A couple of my friends are going and I'm keen for another trip over there. Just depends on the monetary situation.

Doooo it. I thought it had sold out, but turns out you can still get 2 day passes (and Sunday passes, not that you'd really want that).

I was just approved as a contributor for this website - the AU review | we were there. - so that's pretty cool.

Volunteer work, but I believe I get free tickets to gigs and albums ahead of release.

How easy was it? I keep meaning to apply but haven't got around to it. I go to enough fucking gigs that I could use the occasional free ticket for the sake of my bank balance.

ZOMG U GUISE, R U EXClTE 4 TEH DEBATEZ 2NITE???????????!111!1!!!!!!!!!!!!111!!!!!!

Nah.

McMillan and Wife season 1, disc 3 arrived in the mail today.

 

[cobl04]

I think you can apply on the site, but I first sent one off like three months ago, so expect a long wait.

Wow. Well, it's only half the band. But still, very cool.

Westerberg's line in there about the instant reconnection with Tommy is badass.

 

[Danny Boy]

 

[iron yuppie]

Great album.

Another great album? Bowie's Aladdin Sane. I love the cabaret feel running through songs like Time.

 

[iron yuppie]

I seem to remember a few people recommending Beth Orton a while ago. How is this latest album from her? Or should I begin somewhere else?

 

[cobl04]

Great album.

Another great album? Bowie's Aladdin Sane. I love the cabaret feel running through songs like Time.

I love Aladdin Sane passionately.

Watch That Man, Aladdin Sane, Drive-In Saturday, Panic in Detroit, Cracked Actor, Time.

That is six consecutive five-star songs in my book. Lady Grinning Star is too.

The run of The Prettiest Star, Let's Spend The Night Together and Jean Genie unfortunately brings it down a bit for me, but still, six outta 10 ain't bad.

 

[martha]

I love Jean Genie.

I just bought a Darth Vader watch, mouse and alarm clock. All of these things are made of cheap plastic, and I just don't care
