Can we fine any reasonable explanation why Jane's decided to re-re-do Sympathy? Their Triple XXX album version was a raw spin on one of the classics and this new, softer bullshit, sell out version just for this soundtrack is unadulterated horseshit. Perry and Dave can do better...

My "trick" is that if the stress waking me up at 3:30am (on the DOT every time) is work-related, I tell myself, "you don't think about sleep at your desk, so don't think about work in bed". It's not witty or clever, but it helps me put first things first and get back to bed (sometimes).

Thanks, I guess I should have written, "Never let a Coloradoanreadbeer rankings, because they don't read"....sigh.

No Three Floyds, and no Oskar Blues, but Goose Island? Never let an East Coaster rank beers.

I know words, bitch! Now come back to my room and help me straighten out my Longfellow....

Being a space fantasy, Star Wars has always been preoccupied with the Jedi and the Force, but a series of books nominally based on the X-Wing games got away from that entirely by focusing on a fighter pilot group called Rogue Squadron and its military operations in the New Republic — the successor government to the…

Actually, the first girl on girl fight I ever saw was at the old Madhouse on Madison in the early 80s, where I learned to cuss at players in German, Russian, Polish, and Spanish from all the diverse and utterly belligerent (maybe drunk) and die-hard Blackhawk fans (like myself). I am from 15th and Halstead which is…

Ha. While I agree with your analysis, that I prefer Denver's climate and amazing scenery and activities to Chicago's without hesitation, as well as never plan on never moving back to the city, it's that exact "little brother and/or bitch" attitude that you so illustrated in your reply that makes it VERY difficult for…

I as well, as a Chicagoan and fervent Hawks fan transplant in the Mile High, the local sports hacks were straight up GRIPPING if they had to play the Hawks in the first round as they know more transplants would be in attendance than Avs fans. Both teams are great and well managed but the amount of angst shown was…

So when "The Love of the Game" trailer came out with The Verve's "Lucky Man" and Vin Scully's voiceover, I got chills. Then when I went to see the movie I got chills in the bad way, the kind that you get after you get food poisoning and shit the bed and then are too tired and weak to clean yourself up, which is kind…

Souvenir, upside!

The old Madhouse on Madison is where as a youngster I saw my first girl on girl fight (a blouse was lost in the kerfuffle), learned how to cuss in German, Russian, Polish, and other Slavic languages, and smelled weed for the first time (two guys in the cheap seats smoking a roach with a hash fork)...so this doesn't…

Another deer hunting story gone bad...My friend's mom was a coroner in Wisconsin. A deer hunter was shot by another asshole hillbilly hunter by mistake. The victim just finished hanging a trial cam that recorded the incident in it's entirety, which included the victim lying on the forest floor wounded and the…

Nothing like Iowa transplants living in the sewer called Wrigleyville celebrating a championship for a team that plays "too far south" in the city for their taste.

Dear God, someone please photoshop Vonn/Woods in that band shot...

Hipsters would love it.

I think that might be a Go-Bot?
