For the techie who gets that final call.

Do it yourself punchline

True, Ralph Nader, Margaret Thatcher and Colin Powell came to campus when I was at Baylor, but we never had anything like this happen.

Helpful: Cut food

Yeah, so I still haven't uploaded the tunes, put links in my concert write-up, or done any other blogging in days. I know, I know. Go make yourself a salad and wait patiently.

Interesting: Concert review

Links to follow tomorrow. Google 'em yourself in the meantime.

Went and saw the Decemberists at Metro tonight. Indigo highly recommended them, and I was pretty pleased. I say, when the nerd war begins, grab yourself a band like the Decemberists. They won't let you down. Nerdy singers, violin, accordion, double bass, breath-powered hand-keyboards. A song about playing soccer.

The lead singer has a Irish/Canadian/something-or-other accent that makes it sound like each syllable gets a bonus vowel sound or two. But oh, the tunes are freakin catchy.

Downside -- the 15-minute encore song. By the end, people were just ready to leave.

Anyway, worth the ticket price and I'll be adding them to my collection at some point.

Walking home, I got stopped by two cops, who apparently were chasing some guy through an alley and happened upon me instead. The one cop asked where I was coming from, and I said the Metro. He asked who played, and I said "The Decemberists." They asked some more questions and let me go, but it then occurred to me that this band from Portland has picked a really silly name. I mean you sound like a nerd just pronouncing it correctly!

Good night all.

Interesting: Go Bears

While I find it hard to support the university itself, I'm happy for the Baylor women's basketball team, who kicked serious ass last night in the NCAA finals.

Any Baylor alumni or students who don't bash gays or try to "save me for Jesus" are ok in my book.

Interesting: Run!

It was a beautiful day for a jog. Sunny, 40's and 50's, light wind. Awesome. My times get slower year after year, but what the hell. Racing is fun.

Dad got to watch us run this year, too, which was cool. Maybe he'll run with us next year?

RIP: Mitch Hedberg

This is terrible news.

Helpful: Free Tunes

One of my co-workers has some free downloads from her label's website. Her band is The Reputation. So I guess this is just a reminder post so I can download them Later. Ted Leo and the Pharmacists are supposed to be good, too. At least, Cindy's hip cousins think so. Oh yeah, Green Day's also on the label.

Pops is in town this weekend, and if he gives permission, I hope to put up links to a couple of cuts from his new CD. Since Luke has already published all his demos and Dad and his crew put in 55 hours in the studio to ink this new disc, I feel like I need to compete. Maybe I'll cut a spoken word album.

So here's the weekend: Sin City, cross-train, do Mike's taxes, watch hoops with Dad, run the Shamrock Shuffle, see Poi Dog Pondering after the race. Sweet.
