what's the Sox blog?

This would've been a lot easier to listen to if you didn't have an ad that started playing sounds at the exact same time.   Nice job, ad sales.

is that what we ate?  urrp

Yep- that's the first thing I thought of when I saw the obituary.  I was a kid and had never heard of him, and that commercial made it seem like he was this huge star.

the UB40 track is a miss, but I give everything else on there a pass.  Man I love that Ian McCulloch song.

I'm in marketing, and I think on the whole we're pretty upfront about being insufferable.  It's not like it's something you discover about the industry after you're in it.

He's easily my least favorite part of the show.  Or of anything he's in, pretty much.
