Burt Propane and the Propane Accessories

Great song. Would be very hard to find a band who would do Undercover who wouldn't completely screw that up, though. Maybe "Brothers in Arms"?

You mean Randy Newman?

If it makes you feel any better, the contemporary media accounts of that incident also use the term "transvestite". Still a horrifying incident though.

…now I'm sad.

On NYE a woman got kidding-on-the-square upset with me at coat check because we don't check shoes as a matter of policy. At the COAT check.

I disagree about Golden Archipelago, but to each their own. Regardless, should be a good album. I wonder if we will eventually get Thor back now that Gira is ending the current incarnation of Swans. Also, and I hate to nitpick the article here, but how is Jonathan Meiburg a "baritone"?

Those feelings are healthy and natural.

This NYE I get to be at the near-bottom of the service totem pole, as a one-off under-the-table coat check guy. I'm sure this is going to be a delight… and yet still probably nowhere near my worst NYE.

I watched Michael Clayton again recently. It's still damned good.

So I personally know Genderqueer Death Squad (which, I would love to know how that got on there) and have seen What Moon Things and Diet Cig. What do I win?

Yeah, a lot of Mencken's actual political views were pretty reactionary, even for their time, but I'm not sure he cleanly fits the definition of liberal or conservative.

Hah, I'm not even a physicist, but I love to go down the theoretical physics Wiki wormhole sometimes. Higgs Bosons were so much easier a reference until they actually (probably) found them.

There are all sorts of ways one could deal with that problem that don't involve partisan judicial elections.

Probably, but it's purely hypothetical, like sterile neutrinos

In all seriousness, there's a new Criminal Minds spinoff coming starring Gary Sinise. It was supposed to have Anna Gunn too but she left between pilot and pickup. I don't know why I know that.

I have to admit that the only thing that got me motivated to vote this year is that I live in a state where we elect SUPREME COURT JUDGES. Which is a terrible idea. But if you're subjecting that position to an election, I might as well vote.

Back when Megabus used to show movies sometimes, I got Gone Fishin' one time. That is a truly terrible movie.

I sort of feel like Kerry got shafted by the media though. Like, yeah, he was a little boring and out of touch, but the whole Swift Boat Truther (remember, that's basically the source of the modern usage of "truther") thing was INSANE and the media was fairly complicit.
