Something something something bacon.

I did some of the kid ferrying this weekend too. One kid to Saturday dance class; the other (teenage enough to have gfriend but not yet old enough to drive) to ask his gfriend to the homecoming dance (apparently "hoco" to kids today).

Makes me think of the Chris Cornell cameo (right before the clip of Soundgarden performing "Like a Ritual") in "Singles."

Love that INXS track…also dig the Foos, Bowie and SOAD.

Got to see Static-X, Slayer and Pantera live many years ago…not long before Pantera broke up (RIP Dimebag).

Thought my magic music shuffler was messing with me on the first track (granted, I was the one who put it on my playlists):

You mean Amanda Peet.

Thank God that Pug didn't opt for that "St. Anger" drum sound.

Just the tip?

Duran Duran was my first "favorite band" back in junior high, which despite their popularity made me a target for much derision in small town Arkansas because the band wore makeup and were thus by red neck logic, likely gay. And as an insecure, decidedly not gay (not that there's anything wrong with it) teenager, that…

It will be a New Moon on Monday before I don't get excited about new Duran Duran music.

C'mon. Give em credit. They were huge in the 80s, managed to have a chart topper in the 90s (the awesome "Ordinary World") and managed to reunite the original lineup and make some pretty good music when they could've just become a nostalgia act.

Arkansas is finally catching up when it comes to microbreweries so lately I am all about the local brews:

I'm not a big IPA fan but I dig the Ranger.

Star Wars — perhaps you've heard of it — was my original pop culture obsession and formative movie experience. I was 6 in 1977 when the first one was released and it has been with me ever since.

"Nice" – Duran Duran
"Music Again" – Adam Lambert
"No More Lookin’ Back" – Poison
"Round and Round" – Ratt
"Trip At the Brain" – Suicidal Tendencies
"Where The Streets Have No Name" – U2
"I'm Only Joking" - KONGOS
"Living Dead Girl" – Rob Zombie
"Congregation" – Foo Fighters
"Follow Me Down" – The Pretty Reckless

GWAR and Def Leppard! Perfect.

I listened to Rust In Peace last week when I picked up my 15yo son from school. He has grown into such a rap/hip-hop fan I needed some counter programming.

You could probably get a research grant somewhere to test your theory. You might have a full blown Law of Fuck on your hands.

That is so poignant and fitting about your grandmother being in the hospital once on family land.
