Sitting there deciding what to watch on Netflix probably takes up more of my time than watching things on Netflix.
Is LBR hungry or not? She seems to cry at one point in her sleep that means nothing. Except to me, trying to feed her or not at 2am. Eight days old and she's already messing with me. Share some randomness.
One of my two favorite Jazz groups active right now.

This is a pretty wild cut, so if you'd like somethig a little more traditional, check out the official video for "Summer Goddess" below the fold, which has some incredible solos and really tight group work. Continue reading Soil & “PIMP” Sessions – Tokyo Jazz 2007

Like great brass? Rocking violin solos? Relentless guitars? A tight rhythm section? Belted vocals? This track's got it all, ladled on nice and thick.

(5 votes, average: 7.80 out of 10)Loading... The Charlotte Bobcats are a bad team. They are 3-25 on the year and are on a 15 game losing streak and their last win was a month ago. They havent scored a 100 points since that win, and have only score 90+ twice on this losing streak. But, the Timberwolves are playing a stretch of bad basketball (4 straight losses) with tons of turnovers (20.5 p/g in that streak) and relatively poor shooting (41% down from their 42% season average...I was shocked that its 41%, but I am guessing Pek!'s high shooting percentage makes up for what seems like 100 misses from outside of 10 feet).
I guess my point is that the Wolves should win this one easily, but the Wolves are not a good enough team to commit 25 turnovers and win the game, even against the crappiest team in the league. Also, you might need a roster list because a bunch of their players are 'really, they are still in the league?!' and Kemba Walker
Thanks to suddenly disabled embedding on my original video, The Band performing "The Weight" with The Staple Singers (check out the performance on YouTube anyway, it's really great), I've called an audible. Check out the great Buddy Cage pedal steel solo on this NRPS cut. CCR also did a great cover of this song on their Mardi Gras album, which was released the same year as this cover was released on Powerglide, the second New Riders album. I'm guessing this video was probably a recording of a live performance in support of that new album.
