Tune Day: I mean it IS cold out

Frozen is in the title so that's where our headline comes from today. I dunno... I am obsessed with this song lately. I am cooling down to it at the gym and it's the song that has convinced me the new-ish singer for Shiny Toy Guns is OK. Anyhow, it closes their latest album:

Tune Day: One or the Other

This is either the best song ever or the worst, and, since the second time I heard it, I've thought the former. I'm guessing you are going to hate it. And then it will be stuck in your head. And then you will adore it. And hate yourself a little for doing so. As such, it might fit the definition of a perfect pop song. Thats Not My Name - The Ting Tings

Spanish for "The Meadows?"

Have you been to Vegas? You have? Why? Even my best friend, who has spent many a weekend in Vegas, says the whole town is fake. And he's right! I took a walk down the Strip Wednesday afternoon. Here's what I saw: Venetian gondoliers paddling tourists down a fake Venetian canal spanned by fake Rialto Bridge . Guys handing out cards for strippers, wearing shirts that say "Girls in your room in 20 minutes." A lot of overweight people. The Eiffel Tower... well a 5/8 replica of such. It was a spectacle, for sure. Here are the good things I can report on: The mountains, specifically the Spring Mountains and Mt. Charleston . I had an incredible view of this range from my hotel and let's just say I tried to keep my eyes there rather than on the Strip. The Bellagio Fountains . These were actually really cool.

Unapologetic rant against Counting Crows

Today, we're starting a new category of posts called "Making My Readers Mad." This is reserved for posts I think will incite the furor of some fraction of the small audience reading this fine blog. I hate Counting Crows. I have never liked Counting Crows. They came to being at a time in my life where if it didn't involve heavy guitars I hated it. Even today, when I love all kinds of rootsy bands - a little bit of just about everything, really - I cannot bear this band. Why? Let's review: They are vastly overrated. In my high school, when they first came out, every kid who loved them was an ass. And they went on and on about how great Counting Crows is. And how I just don't understand. And how the bands I like aren't nearly the musicians that the members of Counting Crows are. And, how that even though I saw Pink Floyd, Beck, an entire flipping Lollapalooza , R.E.M. and many more before graduation, I had not yet seen a "good" concert bec
