Rants n' Rants

I've already discussed "Lost" with those who attending this evening's screening. We emptied a bottle of wine and indulged in brownies lost of processed cheese food. I'll keep my ramblings to those who really care. Nothing terribly revealing, but goddamn, talk about a can of worms...wiiiiiiide open. We did see Jack cry. All that "Party of Five" training did him some good. Randomizing thoughts now:

The modern rock train comes through town so often, I can never seem to keep up with all the music I want to enjoy. In 20 words or less, can anyone tell me about the Decemberists and Tapes n' Tapes? Every song that I've ever heard by the Decemberists I've loved, but I don't own a single album, and Tapes n' Tapes are one of those bands that I should like , but I've only heard the name in passing. Thoughts?

If you like The Sounds, chew on Shiny Toy Guns for a while. They make me want to wear high heels and stomp around.

If you're a female and you're in Broken Social Scene, you've recently released a solo album. Any opinions on the new Amy Millan or the new Emily Hines album? I'm still getting into Metric. Give me a little time, will ya?

Mmmmmm...24p...read this if you want to know what is in my heart. Yes, my heart shoots in high definition.

You can now buy the first season of "The State" on iTunes for $9.95. Unfortunately, you do not get Porcupine Racetrack, but you do get Louie and Captain Monterey Jack and Barry & Levon. Mr. Show totally ripped off the concept of the seamless sketch from these guys. If you wore flannel in 1994, then you watched The State. I can't wait to see 2/3 of Stella on October 14th!!!

This made me fall out of my chair. I know that I'm late to the party again, but check out Ryan Adam's rap. It's not bad. No, seriously. Just go to his website. The song loads automatically...spaceships and hip-hop. Two great tastes that go together. New York City! Kevin Bacon, what the fuck!?! Kevin Costner-dot-com! Hilarity.

I can't believe Mark Foley. You were molested by a member of the clergy when you were young. I agree, this is terrible. BUT YOU'RE GAY? My brain starts to ache just thinking about this. You are a married man with two children. Now that you've been caught talking about hugely inappropriate things like boners with a teenage boy, you're gay. Really? I can just see the conservative right at this very moment. "Oh, he was gay. Huh...okay. That explains his deviant sexual behavior. Poor man!" AHHHHH! Stupidity and ignorance will always find you...you can't hide!

On a lighter note, one of my new favorite things is the Fanzone feature on the Fox Soccer Channel. FSC airs games from the Sky Sports network in Britian, but all the games are called by fans. Imagine the most passionate, vocal soccer fans with phrases like "go on," "come on Charlie boy" and "brilliant" and add the thickest accents you've ever heard . It's the only way to watch a game. All done. Now, back to the commercials.
