  1. I missed the bass.
  2. TEPCO is finally getting some public heat from the Japanese government: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110326/ap_on_bi_ge/as_japan_earthquake
  3. Ben Hogan Ben Hur Benny Benjamin
  4. What kind of a label logo is this?
  5. That skit is solid gold. Hell yeah. Bob & Paladin, right on.
  6. Describes the lifestyle of a lot of oil field workers, too, from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi. YOU know that, but I thought I would point it out. As well you should. I did roustabout work for three summers back in the 70s, thanks to a Texaco program that allowed for hiring of employees's offspring for summer positions (no, my dad was not a wealthy executive, just a local "supervisory clerk", meaning that he kept, tallied, & reproted anything statistical, be it employee time reports, lease productions, anything like that) and yeah, the last thing I wanted to do after spending the day in 100 degree heat digging ditches, fixing pipeline leaks, swinging a sickle to get 10 foot tall weeds down to 1 foot and then mowing them, stuff like that, was to freakin' go exercise...
  7. Dude, the subject at hand is steroid, not hemorrhoid...
  8. Yeah....I noticed that almost all the states listed were states where there's still a lot of manual labor going on, a lot of it outside...and they only rated "laziness" based on recreational exercise...I suspect there's a lot of manual laborers who work hard on the job & then come home too tired & too underpaid to do anything except veg out and eat cheap, unhealthy food. A pretty unappetizing life, and a fair amount of unappetizing people living it, but...not as unappetizing as people who you'd like to think would (hell, should) know better and look at things with a little more nuance not doing so. So.... my list of Top 10 Laziest, Most Halfass, Condescending "Journalism" begins with http://www.mainstreet.com/slideshow/lifestyle/laziest-states-america
  9. Just that, yeah, 8 bars is pretty substantial, meaning that the 2nd 8 of Dorham's tune being totally different is just as noteworthy as the 1st 8 being similar.
  10. Well, that goes both ways, ya' know?
  11. Chan Parker Park Overall Mr. Green Jeans
  12. Similar first eight bars, yeah, and possibly an inspiration to Dorham. But after that, they both go their own ways.
  13. For those for whom every penny counts, Amazon is a dollar-fifty-ish cheaper after shipping, but they show release date as 3/29.
  14. I think it's more like Miles - the backing changed a lot more than the artist did.
  15. Eric Dolphy Dolph Lundgren Lund Industries http://www.lund-industries.com/
  16. Yeah, I'm really not sure what that could be...but still, everything else appears to be Jenna Fischer, so it's all good. Very good.
  17. Indeed...glad to hear that Odean has been handling this well enough through the years to not run into tragedy a la Roy Brooks...Odean is a baaaaad man!
  18. Seriously cheesy song, but an epic arrangement & an even more epic vocal. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LK4-l1UYhas
  19. I once commented that I loved good disco & somebody asked me what the difference was * I said that good disco had slink & they came back and asked what slink was & I tried to explain, but hey, actions speak louder than word, so here's some serious slink, musically & vocally, and hell yeah I like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4STsuzwXubI Some seriously nice vibes playing by Vince Montana, btw.
  20. http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/Music/03/23/loleatta.holloway.obit/
  21. The key to really getting those early Newhart bits is to realize that he was a corporate office worker pretty much up to the day that his first album came out. So he comes by that dry "button down" style honestly as well as epicly.
  22. No dude, that's the lovely & spunky Jenna Fischer
  23. Yeah, the more I tried to pin it down, the dumber I sounded, so I took that as a sign to just chill out and let good be good, period. Think I like it better that way. I'm having more fun, that's for sure.
