Ok, D I-AA football teams. Enjoy your success this year because, starting in 2010, there will be a new, dominate force for you to reckon with: Georgia State Panthers! That's right bitches, G State (the finest concrete campus in the state), is fielding a football team. They've already announced a game, Nov 20 2010 in Tuscaloosa ( So Alabama fans can now plan early for homecoming). I know you're all excited. Maybe just KG.
Our pick this week was found on Pandora. If you're not hip to it (and I was only told about it recently. A co-worker told me and then LRHG preached it and I finally got on board like 3 months later. I'm lazy. ) it is a streaming music website that is based on the music genome project. You set up a station by picking a song, an artist or such and then it picks things based on what you select. As you add things it grows and as you tell it what you like and don't like it streamlines it down. It's pretty cool. You can have as many "stations" as you want. Mark has one that is pretty much trumpets and piano. I started mine with REM (cause, really, it all starts with REM) and it's given me things based on that and others I've added. Check it out, pandora.com, if you have the ability to listen to streaming internet (i.e. not the FLC), it's good for work.
This is something that it played and I thought it was cool. The lyrics are from a cat's point of view, speaking to his malcontent owner. And if you don't think your pets talk about you when you're not there; you're wrong. Why do you think they always stare at you naked.
So, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada:
The Weakerthans - "Plea from a cat named Virtue":
Bonus Tracks:
KG totally met these guy. Great album, great song:
I Miss the 90's:
Oh, don't even act like you don't like it. You're singing along. She's hot, deal (Blonde, but Swedish, so not her fault. Though, I have seen pictures of her as brunette and still Hott.

Told ya so!
Yea so I can't so much as look at a website on my work computer much less steamline music.
I liked that Weatherthans song.
BTE rocks!!!! Love this song, too. Just found out they are coming back July 18th to the 40 watt club in Athens - anyone up for a road trip?? Come on, tickets are $17 - such a deal!!!
I couldn't see the third clip, it wouldn't come up but I'm sure I would have liked it.
On a sad note (make that 2 sad notes): cannot believe MJ
passed away. I grew up watching and listening to his music and trying to dance some moves like his (he could keep the crotch grabbing). Despite his social idiosyncrises (spelling is bad, sorry) he was a true music icon, dare I say a legend. I actually shed a few tears watching Good Morning America today and hearing all of his hits. He was good!
The last side note - The Georgian Theater in Athens, GA made major, major fire this week. This place has been a great music venue for years an some very note worthy bands have played there - most notably a band some of you may have heard of, REM. I also saw WEEN there, yay
it was great. They hope to rebuild but with the economy
as it is, you never know. Anyway, some great bands graced the stage there over the many years of it's existence and now it's ashes. Pretty sad.
Let's all take a moment of silence.
The Cardigans! Oh I forgot that song... loved it then, still do now. GREAT tunes this week!!!
