Major Leagues

The Super Furries killed it at T in the Park a few weeks ago. Peep the review here. Some great pics of their recent Somerset House gig here. That where I got this picture of my boy Bunf. L Boogie will probably like this pic. Apparently the boys didn't do too bad at the Oxygen Festival either. One review called their set "Mad as nine bags of badgers." Best!

So in order to celebrate, I played one of their new songs at iPod Jukebox last night. My full set was:

Super Furry Animals, "Frequency"
Kings of Leon, "King of the Rodeo" [go here to download]
Oasis, "Love Like A Bomb"
Wheat, "No One Ever Told Me"

Time for the Pooper to answer your questions!

I'm pissed the Red Sox traded Jay Payton. Wait, check that, I'm pissed we signed him in the first place. We should have kept Dave Roberts! But that doesn't matter anymore, Payton is moving to Oakland for some bullpen help.

Here are my thoughts on the Kwame Brown trade. I say buzz. For the Wizards, not the Lakers.

I still haven't been able to carve out the time I wanted to really talk about this, but I like the Brian Scalabrine signing by Danny Ainge and the Celtics. It's not a particularly sexy move but we've locked up a very competent back up power forward for the next five years at cheap money. Al Jefferson is the future and Scalabrine knows that. He'll be a good locker room guy and will know his role. With all the kids on the C's squad, we're gonna need vets like him around. He hasn't been in the league that long but has been deep into the playoffs with the Nets. In short, another good move by Ainge.

Did anyone see this interview with Al J, Big Perk and G-Money? Some great stuff here. Remember when I told you about Kendrick being so excited about the G-Money pick? Peep this:

Perkins: Listen to me, this is my draft pick really because I'm the one that told Danny to draft this dude. Ask Danny if you think I'm lying. Ask Danny what he asked me about Gerald Green.

Jefferson: Perk stood up and yelled when [Gerald] was drafted. You're happy because he's from Texas.

Moments later, Ainge walks by and jokes, ''Oh, this is bad news." Perkins takes the opportunity to set the record straight about Green.

Perkins: Tell them [Gerald] was my draft pick.

Ainge: That would have been nice to know before the draft. I did sense some enthusiasm after the pick was made.

Perkins: Hold on. Hold on. Do I have to go all the way back to the time I walked into your office and you said, 'What y'all think of Gerald Green?' Do you remember that?

Ainge: Yeah.

Perkins: Do you remember me saying, 'That's my guy?'

Ainge: Yeah, I do remember that.

Jefferson: OK.

Ainge: But everybody says, 'This is my guy.' You've got like 100 'my guys.' What I think is really happening here is he's trying to get Gerald thinking he owes Perk something, so he will throw him the ball inside.

Good stuff!

Anyone see that Gerald Green dunk? Everyone else has [thanks Zack]It's insane. I'll upload the video tomorrow if I can.

Who else is going to Mac Attack and Athens 83 tonight? Holla.
