No, Not Now

I see a pattern emerging here.

Rising Duke Soph Luol Deng will enter the NBA draft, but will not hire an agent and retain his college eligibility. This is obvs. a blow to the Durham program. Diaper dandy PG Shaun Livingston should make his decision in the next 14 days. Hopefully the remarks made by his father Reggie are a sign of things to come. "I don't care about any $20 million," Reggie Livingston told the Journal Star. "It's not about money. I'm tired of the rumors that I want my kid to go pro, that I want his money. I don't need Shaun to make the NBA. I love my son. I'm happy. I've been offered money, houses, cars. I was offered a million dollars (by a man who wanted) to be his agent. I won't say who. But what would I do that? Why would I sell my soul and my kid to the devil? I've always wanted my kid to go to college. He needs to go to Duke to get his education and so Coach K can teach him how to be a leader." Word life.

Right now, I would put the odds that Paul Westphal will be the next head coach of the Boston Celtics at about 3 to 1.

Steve Bulpett of the Boston Herald grades each Celtic on their efforts this season and is right on the money for the most part.

The Mighty Mozzer reveals the Meltdown lineup.

Same old set for the April 26th Wiltern gig.
The First Of The Gang To Die / Hairdresser On Fire / The Headmaster Ritual / Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice / Jack The Ripper / How Could Anybody Possibly Know How I Feel? / The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores / There Is A Light That Never Goes Out / Such A Little Thing Makes Such A Big Difference / I Know It's Gonna Happen Someday / No One Can Hold A Candle To You / I'm Not Sorry / Subway Train [into...] Everyday Is Like Sunday / A Rush And A Push And The Land Is Ours / All The Lazy Dykes / Irish Blood, English Heart // Hand In Glove
Admittedly I would like to see a few more recognizable hits sprinkled in there, but if I get to hear Jack The Ripper, Hand in Glove and The Headmaster Ritual while I am in the 212, I will not complain at all.

Speaking of, I bought my Cardigans tickets for the Sunday gig at Southpaw, so if anyone else is going, let me know. Right now I think the plan is to meet up with Matt 5500 and Coolfer but as always, the more the merrier.

Not to freak anyone out, but Thom Yorke canceling a gig in Australia just days before Coachella can't be a good sign. Promoter Michael Chugg told radio station Triple J that Yorke has been put on antibiotics to assist with his recovery in time for the band’s appearance at the Coachella festival in California this coming weekend.

I can't decide if this is genius or idiocy. I leaning towards the latter.

You have to do it on your own / I can't aid you any more
You must learn to breath alone / Then all this is yours.
Your shoulders are strong / So lengthen your stride
When you're alone / There is light outside.
