I love "Advaitic Songs", but if I tried to listen to it in the car, I think I'd end up like Homer Simpson when his car turns into a bed and he flies off the road and bounces into the moon.

I desperately want to read the Peanuts Parkside books now!

I would want my theme to be "Rockford Files" but if I'm honest with myself, it's probably more "Baby Elephant Walk".

I'm so sorry to hear this.  My deepest condolences to you and your family.

I used to sing my cat's name — Sugarfoot — to the tune of "Waterloo" all the time.  No wonder he died young.

Mmm, decent tomatoes!  They're my favorite, isn't that right, @LJo1:disqus ?  Heh heh heh.

Nacho Cheese Doritos were the first junk food I ever consciously stopped eating because I knew once I started, I'd eat them until long after I felt sick.  The second was Brach's Pumpkin Cremes.  The Doritos I was able to go pretty much cold turkey on, but I still can't resist allowing myself one bag of Pumpkin Cremes…

Bonnie “Prince” Billy “Today I Was An Evil One”
Grinderman “No Pussy Blues”
Mark Lanegan & Isobel Campbell “The Raven”
Mike Patton “Seriously Disturbed” (Perfect Place OST)
Nine Inch Nails “Love Is Nto Enough”

Happy birthday!  29 was a really fun year.  I hope you have a great one!

Start lightly and then let them set the pace.  And if it goes too far then hiss, just like my username suggests!

Congratulations!  I think you and your lifemate should start a consulting business to teach people that your tee-shirt-toting party tour is exactly what modern weddings should be!

And then you'll hump the fridge?

I couldn't agree more!  I cannot wait for his new album.  Cannot.  Wait.

1.  Tomahawk "Oddfellows"
2. Mark Lanegan & Duke Garwood "Black Pudding"
3.  Buke & Gase "General Dome"
4.  Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Push the Sky Away"
5.  John Zorn "The Concealed"
6.  Lilacs & Champagne "Danish and Blue"
7.  Melvins "Everybody Loves Sausages"
8.  Bonnie Prince Billy & Dawn McCarthy "What the Brothers…

I feel like everyone's forgetting about "Push the Sky Away", so I was so glad to see it on at least one list here!  Also, the Mark Lanegan/Duke Garwood album is so wonderful; I'm sad that more people aren't seeking it out.  And that Bonnie Prince Billy/Dawn McCarthy album is one of my favorite surprises this year.…

Nice.  One of the greatest rock voices of his generation reduced to "Screaming Trees/Queens of the Stone Age dude".

Just drop everything and play Portal 2.  It'll be worth it!

@avclub-0304234e5dac07d007cf06c22b3f29c4:disqus I started proofreading mine when a colleague used the many typos and missing words in my work emails as proof that I'm "too stressed".  I couldn't admit that it was actually because I'm not stressed enough, leading me to lazily sending work emails while, say, also…

Yeah, but since it would take me about 2+ hours and a shockingly expensive train ride (I remember when I could ride the train into NYC for a nickel!  ::waves cane angrily::) to get to said parking lot where there would be a chance no miracles would occur, it's not going to happen.  I'll just put some Om records on…

New to me — Lilacs & Champagne.  I stumbled across Grails' "Black Tar Prophecies 1,2 & 3" thanks to iTunes suggesting it a few years ago, and I loved it.  But for some stupid reason, I never followed up on them.  I was delighted, then, to discover Lilacs & Champagne's "Danish & Blue" a few months ago, and then to have…
