I have now witnessed firsthand the mini-van commercial with the Modest Mouse song in it. The commercial obviously begs this question:
Does anyone who listens to Modest Mouse need a minivan?
Christ, I hope not.
After all my posturing about exposing my yet-to-be-conceived unborn children to good music, this has made me pause and ponder...will I stop listening to ass kicking tunes when I start breeding, or will my labor coach come prepared with a Clash boxset?

I hate to sound so tacky, but my life has become painfully stiffling and depressing. Ciggarettes, suburban domicile, the drudgery of work, fitful dreamless sleep, dinner standing up at the kitchen counter, responsibilities abound...a red letter day consists of being able to catch a rerun of "Will and Grace" in it's entirety and use the facilities when I want, not just when I have the time. God, you'd think I was an adult or something.

Here's what I've been considering today - do musicians rock out to their own music? Does Robert Smith get blowjobs while listening to "Fascination Street"? Does Neil Young throw on "Harvest" while going to work on the deck? Does Stevie Nicks get pissed off thinking about Lindsey Buckingham and drag out "Silver Springs"?
This is what I ponder while I should be paying attention to other things, like driving or something.
Song of the day (appropriately enough): "Your Star is Killing Me" - Chisel.

The Five Seasons Ski Team
About a year ago, The Maryville Daily Forum wrote a horror show of a story about this ski team from Cedar Rapids, Iowa that came to perform at Mozingo Lake. Highlights of this show included a ski routine about "daily life in prison". I don't know about you, but I was damn sorry I missed it, because I really wanted to see some anal raping on skis. Anyway, this is the best I could find. I don't really know what to make of it.
Not to be outdone, here is a picture of The Lowe Family, who I had the extreme displeasure to see on July 4th. Yeah, this is the Iwojima thing I was telling you about.
America. God bless it.

As happy as I am, I believe this will be the time that the proverbial shit will hit the proverbial fan. Yes, as a matter of fact, it is in the Book of Proverbs.

Things that greatly annoy me:
* When people think they understand the great political struggles of Bob Marley because they smoke pot.
* When people credit Blondie for bringing rap into "the mainstream".
* When people say they're into Monty Python, but have only seen the movies.
* John Lydon.
* "Wish" Cure fans.
* People who "don't get" The Dismemberment Plan.
* The fact that The Deftones have gone way down hill.
* People who don't understand "The Rules of Attraction" is a great movie.
* Gay men who are still into the Depeche Mode circa 1985 look.
* The fact that I really dig a Jefferson Starship song ("Jane").
* When people play air banjo to anything, but especially The Kingston Trio.
* That Bob Dylan isn't playing guitar on tour anymore.
* That I'm harassed by everyone I come into contact with (including sanatation workers) for not liking Built to Crap...er...Built to Spill.
* The fact that Billy Joel has written one really good song ("Downeaster Alexa").
* That I never learned a damn thing in high school except how to skip class, lead on guys, elude popularity, throw Amnesty benefit concerts, fake orgasms and avoid any real responsibility.
* The fact that I had a better college experience in high school than I did in college.
* That I haven't been able to spend quality time with Sarge and Pepper in a long time.
* That I am compelled to listen to "The Scientist" by Coldplay all the time even though it's so damn depressing.
* When you meet really cool people, and they never live where you are...they're always somewhere far away...like northern California.
Song of the day: "Woo Ha" - Busta Rhymes.
