Re: Straw Poll 2011

"U MAD" is waaaaaay more than two years old. It originated on O'Reilly, you should have known that, Varg. Anyway, the straw poll is a sideshow. It's irrelevant to all but fringe/underdog candidates. It's also the second most embarrassing reason to see Iowa in the national news behind Slipk...

Re: itunes help

probably file corruption. run disk utility or whatever filesystem utility windows uses to repair your external disk. if it still doesn't work you'll have to delete or skip the song. there will probably be others. it's pretty rare to have just one corrupt file.

Re: Off!

The show was awesome. The crowd was really into it. This band brings people together... in that way it reminded me of the Murphy's Law shows we had in Des Moines in the 90s. Everyone drops their guard and agrees to have fun and go nuts. My only complaint is that they need more songs. They played thr...

Re: Enter the Void

It was good, but not terribly memorable. I rewatched Happiness a few days ago and it's definitely better than its sequel. It's kind of interesting to see different actors' takes on the same characters though... Paul Rubens is pretty great playing Andy's ghost.

The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus

Early English punk/new wave band. This is their first record. Kind of similar to The Fall, or XTC, but they have a distinct darker sound.

The Budos Band - III

This record was just released. Budos Band are instrumental funk, heavy on the brass with afro-soul flavor. Sounds like what I imagine music from a 70's Ethiopian spy movie would be like.

Re: Black? Need an excuse to riot and loot? Move to CA!

not to justify it, but they are rioting because the officer who shot an unarmed man in the back was convicted of involuntary manslaughter rather than murder. it was obvious he would be found guilty because there was clear video evidence of his crime. involuntary manslaughter is a slap on the wrist.

Re: bike porn.

Dig the frame. Interesting how the seat stays connect so low on the seat tube. The geometry is nice and tight. I have Origin 8 cranks, pedals and handlebars.. They make pretty good stuff.

Now flip that stem and get those handlebars under the saddle height so you're not in grandma mode.. Ha.
