Thanks to Pandora, my two new favorite groups are Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and the Doves.
BMRC is raw garage rock that kicks some serious ass. I have even considered buying their new album, an errand I haven’t done since I can’t remember. As for the Doves, they have more of a pop sound, but that’s ok. I checked out one of their albums at the library and I’ve since found more songs through Pandora. Good stuff.
Last week there was a cover of Nirvana’s Lithium on Sit or Spin. Absolutely horrible, and thankfully the panel all agreed with that assessment. Essentially it was the song interrupted by really old techno. You have to hear it to believe it.
Moving on . . .
I’m just going to say that the SEC football season of 2007 has been one of the greatest sporting events in my life. Maybe second only to Man U’s treble in ‘99. Almost every week, there was dramatic game with huge plays and high stakes on the line. LSU beat Florida by going for it on fourth down 5 times and making it every time. UK beat then #1 LSU in overtime. Georgia scores their first touchdown against Florida and the entire team celebrates in the end zone. How great is that? Then Thanksgiving week, Arkansas beat LSU in triple overtime to ruin LSU’s season and that was followed by UK coming back against Tennessee from 31-14 in the fourth quarter to force overtime, of which there were FOUR. UK had a chance to win the game in one of the overtime periods with a field goal, which was blocked and almost returned by UT to win the game. Amazing. So if there’s a bowl game with a SEC team in it, watch. Based on this season you won’t be disappointed.
Went back in my video collection and watched the Matrix again. What a great movie. There is no such thing as perfection so the flaw in this jewel has to be Keanu Reeves. The rest of the cast is so good and it is such an interesting, mind blowing story that his poor performance is made that much worse. Even watching time after time, you can't get away from his deer in thead light surfer dude projection. Anyway, I still don’t get everything, and that’s fine, but after watching it again, it really made me wonder why they had to make the second and third ones. Sure the Merovingian is interesting and the conversation with the Maker leads to all kinds of existential discussions, but why couldn’t have the story just ended with Neo flying up into the sky and that be that? The answer is money of course and that sucks.
