The Rain Falls Hard On A Humdrum Town
Ugh. Running around the city when it's raining sideways is never a fun thing.
We could go for a walk where it's quit and dry and talk about precious things.
But the rain that flattens my hair! Ohhhhhh, these are the things that kill me
Smiths resets. So best.
A quick aside. One time when miss Emily was in town, we went to see Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke's new crappy band that was doing two shows in NYC for some random reason. During the Tiswas show at Don Hill's, Joyce played the drum break from the beginning of The Queen is Dead as a big tease to everyone. I thought I was going to have a heart attack.
THURSDAY AFTERNOON SURE SHOTS
- To: Nomar Garciaparra
From: Bryan Adams
Subject: Shut-uppa-you-mouth

Beyond Hott. Yes, with two t's. [link ganked from OOAT]
- Muuuuaaaaahahahahahaha. Andy Petite signs with the Astros for almost $8 million less than what the Yankees offered. The Evil Empire must be in full freak out mode as they then traded for injury prone Kevin Brown hours later.
C'mon ARod. Let's do this! Red Sizzles baby!
- Jiri Welsch is officially my second favorite Celtic. Since being given some PT as point guard in the last 4 games, the C's have yet to score under 100 points and are averaging 109 per. Last night the C's creamed the Sonics in Boston as Jiri dropped 17 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals in 25 minutes. Revenge against the Raptors comes on Friday. Euro dudes! Get some on your team!
- Here is this week's TMQB
- Whitney must have lost those receipts from her drug dealer.
- Yo, this is f'real. Lyor Cohen may have to pay TVT damages out of his own pocket. To the tune of $53 mil. Ouch. All this shit for crappy Ja Rule.
- Craigslist says 50 Shekel, "The Jewish Hip Hop Artist", is looking for a manager. He's paying $500+. Too bad I'm out of the music game.
- The Least Essential Albums of 2003.
- NME says the Super Furries will be back in the US in February. Hmmmmmm. Maybe employment can wait until after they come over.
- The Pixies are NOT opening for the Chili Peppers in France. There's always Coachella.
- Rick Rubin reset from Rolling Stone. [ link ganked from Catchdubs]
- Series of Sneaks era interview with

This town has dragged you down
That Least Essential Album list was dead on. I forgot to include the David Lee Roth CD in my list. That was certainly one of the most pitiful albums of the year, and well below the potential of the great Diamond Dave. He should try to surround himself with some better musicians, see what he can come up with.
The Pixies should NOT regroup in France, of all places. The Velvets reunited and performed live there, saying the French were more welcoming during the band's existance. But nobody loves the Pixies more than us Yanks. If there's gonna be a reunion, it's gotta be here.
How can you stay with a fat girl who'll say / "Oh ! Would you like to marry me ? / "And if you like you can buy the ring" / She doesn't care about anything
