I'm a girl near Philly who likes to drink!

On the Italian avant-metal/jazz weirdness front, Berserk is really good.  https://soundcloud.com/rare…

"No Pussy Blues" is the song that comes up the most when I put my ipod on All Song shuffle.  My ipod just loves that song!  I like it more each time I hear it, so I suppose the ipod knows what it's doing…

Tanya Tagaq w/ Mike Patton “Fire/Ikuma”
Dolly Parton “These Old Bones”
Tomahawk “Laredo”
Lilacs & Champagne “Sour/Sweet”
Actually, my shuffle included robotmonkeyarm’s “APOEe4” before this song, but I figured seven minutes of waves lapping against a shore didn’t count.  That track and this one back-to-back did make for…

The Tennis Hall of Fame is in Newport.  And… that's all I've got.

7th?  That's very generous of you!

My impression was that ACIV wasn't going to be as rigid about how and when you had to do the main missions, which was my second-biggest issue with ACIII (the first-biggest being what a dour jerk Connor was). Also, as a Patrick O'Brien fan, I very much enjoyed the naval battles. So I guess I'll just have to be the…

Stuff I don't think has been listed here yet:

I'm with you on the 2013-14 NHL season.  I can't wait to see what the Devils do without Kovalchuk!  Wait, I'm being told what they're going to do is… lose.  A lot.  Hm.  Maybe I need to rethink what I'm looking forward to in 2013…

@avclub-8dd007f4a97be79c135c67999bf5b27e:disqus kept talking up how great the commentariat was over here, so I had to check it out.  "Whatever Happened to Alternative Nation" was what really sold me on the whole shebang, though.

You're welcome!  Enjoy!

Few things piss me off more than the idea that a person who is good at his/her job needs to be pushed into management.  Whatever the job is, it requires someone good doing it — why take a good person out of that position to force them into something that requires completely different skills?!  Gah!

It's an official release — "Directors Cut Live: A New Year's Revolution".  It came out as an album and as a DVD in 2011, I think.

Whoops!  I forgot to tell you I put that song on your ipod.  I meant to, I swear!  It's Lanegan covering an Afghan Whigs song from "Black Love" off the Summer's Kiss AW tribute album.  Surprise!  I should do this more often — pepper your ipod with little Easter Eggs for you to find…

Dolly Parton “Holding Everything”
Fantomas “Simply Beautiful”
Guano Padano “A Country Concept”
Sex Mob “Battle at Piz Gloria”
Afghan Whigs “My Curse”

The lack of Tzadik on Spotify is thing that ticks me off the most (other than, you know, the "whole not paying musicians" thing).  I get why Zorn wouldn't want to bother with it, but that's exactly the kind of music I want to sample first.  I'm really gun shy about Tzadik stuff since in my experience I other love it…

@avclub-75e43c12ef9f1cfdaeae92ca6fa90640:disqus Ooh, that is more of a "drive like a badass" song!  I hadn't heard it before because I'm quite new to this Om thing.  But I did listen to Advaitic Songs on my drive home tonight and established that it is shockingly good driving music.  Who knew?!

I use Sonos!  It's a great system for the money and it could not possibly be easier to set up.  However, I don't use any streaming service with it other than Spotify, and even then, I'm using it for my records/CDs 99% of the time. 

Some  Like It Hot.  Funniest movie of all time.
