What is this new strange tag that I'm finding in new clothes? It's got a little plastic thing inside it and you have to cut it out of the garment. Why?? What does it do?
What books are on your nightstand?
I just finished a fantastic novel so I need to choose my next book. Here are my options:
Any votes?
Brad and I carpool to work every morning, and a couple of weeks ago I jokingly said "time to make the donuts" as we were pulling into the parking garage. Brad had no idea what I was referring to, so he didn't find my joke to be very funny.
I tried searching YouTube for the ancient Dunkin Donuts commerical I was referring to, but I couldn't find it. I mentioned it to Steve today and he found one within minutes. So I had to share it:
Go to their website to listen to some audio clips, or my coworkers can tune into my iTunes share to listen to an acoustic performance I downloaded from Coolfer. Or download "The Zookeeper's Boy" from Pitchfork.
What albums are in heavy rotation for you right now?
These questions always stump me; as soon as someone asks me this all the music knowledge just drains out of my head. I'm going to think of 2 or 3 other albums this week that I should have included...
Here are three I can think of now:
I feel a bit self-conscious that this is all new music, but I guess that's what I've been in the mood for lately. When I was in LA, Jason was playing the latest Fair to Midland album, inter.funda.stifle, in his dressing room. He described it as The Mars Volta (FTM's from Denton, TMV's from El Paso) but with stronger songwriting. I loved what I heard: it was lush, bombastic, dynamic (Laurie, they're opening for System of a Down) and all over the place in a way that made total sense, if you were willing to go with it. (I tried to upload their album into my audio stream but Amazon doesn't have the album cover on file. So I had to add it the old school way.)
