Sometimes I wish I was the kind of person who could just post a cryptic song lyric and the emoticon for puzzled and call it a day. But I can never seem to do that when there are all those words out there that I can use. If I were that kind of person I [...]

I fell in love with a bass lead guitar player, I fell in love with bass lead guitar player, I fell in love. Man. Nels Cline is the man. That dude can kick it like you wouldn’t believe. It’s like his possessed. It’s mesmerizing.
Wilco brought it tonight. (So did Andrew Bird but I’m not [...]

I am so excited for tonight’s Andrew Bird and Wilco show that I am vibrating. I don’t think the two cups of coffee are helping matters. I find it hard to believe that in eight short hours I will finally get to rest these weary eyes on the beautiful visage of Andrew Bird. My girl [...]

Sure, I’m gonna be late for work. But some things must be shared immediately. I was just perusing Reveille and learned that Andrew Bird is gonna open for Wilco on October 10.
HOLY SHIT! Andrew Bird + Jeff Tweedy in one night? I am not sure if my heart can handle that. As you well [...]

When I got home tonight Wolfdogg and I were talking about the upcoming Mike Doughty shows at the Bryant Lake Bowl in November. We’re a little bit worried about getting tickets because the Bryant Lake Bowl is roughly the size of the great room in Supergenius HQ. Which is to say eeny teeny.
It was then [...]

On Eurydice there’s a live version of Jeff Tweedy singing “Dear Employer” at maybe First Ave. but I am really not sure where. At the end of the song, after singing “That’s the reason that I quit, that’s the reason. . .” he says, “That sounds really good to me. I think everyone should quit [...]

Yeah, the dream last night involved me being chosen to go party with Jeff Tweedy and Wilco at their hotel after the Wilco concert.
When we got to the hotel Jeff Tweedy asked me if I wanted to take a bath with him and I was all, “HELL YES.”
So I disrobed and slipped into the [...]

Bananas, the fruit. I can’t get enough of them and whenever I eat them I think of the main character in The Hotel New Hampshire whose name I cannot remember who eats bananas and runs all the damn time because he wants to be a good wrestler. He does this because the grandpa tells him [...]

There are nights where I cannot be your support system, your sounding board, or your amusement. There are nights where I just need to be alone with myself and not communicate with anyone. Sometimes the neediness of people that I know is too hot and heavy for me to bear. It itches and makes me [...]

It’s birthday day here at Hell, Inc. The only thing better than a birthday day is Chili-Cookoff day (and that was Tuesday, give it up for me, Miss Best Non-Beef Chili 2006). Since we’ve got three birthdays (KG, Snoop Doug, and Al, the cutest girl on earth™) we really over did it with donuts, cinnamon [...]

Sometimes I worry that I’m going to be a really bad mom. The worry goes beyond just the regular will I forget to turn off the stove stuff, or will I still be able to mom and write stuff. Tonight I worry about just being able to put aside my own needs and putting those [...]

The only people I can come close to not killing today are Jeff Tweedy and Colin Meloy, everyone else I want to maim in my sleep-deprived zombie-like state.

if the meme is good enough for tito, it’s good enough for me. besides it’s early on a sunday morning, i just had some pizza and i need something to write about.
usually i am really bad at these shuffle things, because i cheat all the time. if it’s a song i don’t want to admit [...]

i used to have a big giant crush on you. i really really did. not only did i have one of the best times of my entire life there within in the confines of your borders, but you are also the home to such awesome things as liz phair, jeff tweedy, andrew bird, material [...]

way back when we used to be cool, Mel, ChiliD, and I used to play the island game. this was a game where you got to populate some tropical island with six to ten people you’d like to spend a lot of intimate time with. we had great gobs of fun playing the game, because [...]
