Please stop. Both Goodspeak and Mike Schwartz. Nobody here cares.

....you know you're a SERIOUS Spurs fan when you get a backup's (Matt Bonner) face cut into your hair:

Happy Birthday, Larry!

Driving around town the other day, I found NRA Kitty:

I'd like to do this - how can I get all of ECM's cds free, too?

The Spurs might disagree with that...

Girl got moves!~

That's the same exact Opeth set I saw in Corpus Christi (I know because I was able to get a setlist from the stage). I thought it was an excellent performance. The variety and changing dynamics really came across well - in contrast to Mastodon's set. For me that was too much of the same sound over and over. But they had more fans here in Corpus than Opeth did - I guess they've had more exposure overall, being an American band. Plenty of moshing going on during their set here. I missed Ghost, but would have been interested in seeing them, after seeing all the BOC and Black Sabbath references.

Ubu - Also keep an eye on this thread: Dallas and Austin Jazz Concerts

A first for me - I attended a game that actually made Sportscenter's Top 10 Plays. The Corpus Christi Hooks (Astros AA team) game on Saturday night versus the San Antonio Missions (Mariners AA team) featured two outfielders crashing over the bullpen fence (which was maybe 4' high or so) attempting to catch a ball that would have been a home run. They crashed into each other and flipped over the wall, and the left fielder came up with the ball in his glove for the out. It looked far more impressive in person than on the replay, but still cool to see it make the Top 10!

Caught Los Lonely Boys tonight, who played a show at the baseball field after the Corpus Christi Hooks game tonight. $9 got a berm ticket for the game, plus the show, not a bad deal. I like them more after seeing them than I did before - nice sound & groove, a mix of rock, blues, and hints of Tex-mex.

Happy Birthday!

I wonder how the player's union will react - do they support the players who have been suspended and appeal, or do they support the players who were the attempted "victims" and support the suspensions? They're sort of in a Catch 22 situation.

I've become a DeAndre Jordan fan gradually, so rooting for the Clippers (behind the Spurs though!). I was disappointed that Jordan didn't spend another year or two at Texas A&M, instead going the "one and done" route. I think his development would have paid big dividends for the A&M program, and wouldn't have hurt his draft status and eventually big money contracts anyway.

Happy Birthday!

How did you like Gary Clark Jr? I've read alot about him, but haven't seen him yet.

Happy Birthday Joe - wishing you a year of fulfillment!

Alles gute, Niko!

...and? How was it??

Metheny did a 3 disc recording with Derek Bailey previously as well.

Opeth was fantastic! I really enjoyed their performance - very atmospheric, moody show, with a wide range of sounds/styles. Even my wife thought they were pretty good, and she wasn't sure what she was getting into for the night. Mastodon was cool, but I'm not very familiar with their music, only have Crack the Skye. There were probably more Mastodon fans at the show than Opeth fans, despite Opeth being the headliner (at least here in Corpus). They had one or two more melodic songs, and the rest were very heavy/aggressive. We missed Ghost unfortunately, got to the show late (after going fishing lol), so I have no idea how they are live. I think you'll love the show, Shawn!
