Mucus

Pearl Jam's streaming their 20th anniversary compilation on Rolling Stone dot com. Some of it is great. Some not so great. And some of it sounds like it was recorded in Bob's Rib Shack on route 18 next to the Piggly Wiggly.

Some people have their Where Were You When Kennedy Died moments. These people are old. But we all have moments we remember for their shear weight and I can totally remember where I was the first time I heard about Pearl Jam's Ten. Yes, this makes me old too. I'm sure someone out there will totally remember the first time they heard Selena Gomez and what impact it had on them. These people aren't old, they just have horrible taste.

Also, if you want to hear what I've been listening too (long aside here: you don't. I really think only my sister and wife read this - Hey, guys! - so they 1)don't care about my music, Nana and 2)don't care about my music but are forced, by the loop holes and by-laws of matrimony, to listen to it anyway, Dianna) you can check out my blip page. Blip is like twitter with music. It grabs music from other spots (mainly legitimate) and lets you play them. The bad news is some of the music doesn't stay where you want it too. So the versions of Big Iron and Tom Ames' Prayer are not playable anymore. Plus, to get the version I want I have to weed through cell phone recorded live performances (not, acoustically, the best) and random people who put themselves on youtube singing.

You should click on that version of Tom Ames Prayer to see what I'm gonna look like in three years.

Since I put up the Pearl Jam pic, I also googled myself in Images to see what would pop up.

I found this . . . spitting image, huh?

  1. A. I skimmed this. I really have no idea what else you said besides Dianna and I are the only ones who read this. B. Corrin reads your blog also. C. Dude is you in 30 years. C. Did you add the picture just so you wouldn't be guilty of the pictureless blog?
