News and Whimsy - UPDATED!

NEWS

I would like to welcome Wheels' brother's family to the blogosphere. Check the link on the side panel. May has done more blogging in a week then most of us do in a year. Nicely done!

I attended the free Iron & Wine concert at the Gallivan Center last night and was treated to a solo acoustic performance by Sam Beam. He was as good as ever and played all of the songs that I really wanted to hear except one. However, once again like at Bon Iver, the intimately fantastic music was marred by the idiot kids who showed up to a free concert not even knowing who was playing and yelled over the music. Guess what kids? Even though you might have been confused by Sam Beam's beard you aren't at a ZZ Top concert. You don't need to start a mosh pit to acoustic folk music when there are over 1000 people crammed into the space of my front yard. Also, I don't know from experience but I'm pretty sure that I get more of a buzz off of a can of Mtn Dew than you do from your two sips when eight of you share a can of PBR. Be on the lookout for my new blog - youkidzgetoffkgsgdlawnandstoplisteningtokidzbop.blogspot.com.

WHIMSY

MSN had an article this week of the Worst Album Covers Ever.

Spin Magazine created a list of the Worst Song Titles So Far This Year.

Excellent time waster for you - a site that generates anagrams from your name. I didn't like what it came up for mine but here are a few I liked:

Brett Favre = FATTER VERB

Wheels (Her name including middle initial) = LOSINGLY SLEEK GEM

Some others were not as good especially these:

Flanksteak's full name = YOBS JERK YLANG-YLANG

Big J's full name = JERK FLY EGGS BY FELON - sometimes being a Skog is hard...

Although Big J might enjoy what it came up with for Crazy Sue's full name = SNOG SOULLESSLY OK ANGEL

I'm telling you that site will waste hours of your life.

Up last, the greatest HORSE shot I've ever seen. Your move, Larry or Magic.

Herms - it's like the anagram generator could see your past and future and look into your soul. Amazing.

I never realized how many Y's are in my name until this very moment.

while I don't dissagree that album covers sucked (they made me question why I havent been paid to create one)I can't help but think this was compiled by some kid who is pissed he was forced to watch too mutch Lawrence Welk.

Brohammas - I have to agree with you, MARRY! TORMENT GOLDEN BOY. I've seen many covers that are worse than those chosen by MSN.
