The Two Minute Man is a top ten of sorts to which they lists the best
songs of the week to the worst one through ten. It’s a much better
read than my bashings of Steve King of the fifth Reich of the State of
Iowa. (this is his final blog, revised due to attack messages)
If you can, read the comment releted to the Jangle guitar pop of the
Gin Blossoms of the comments made by Mitch Easler and Don Dixon. I tend
to think it’s a fake profile. But contrary to rumour, REM hasn’t made a
jangly pop number
since.............................................................Pop
Song 89?!?
And now I leave you with this quote of the day from ex third Reich
Karl Rove, king bullshitter who wasn’t BSing with this snappy comeback
to some protester at the U of I last night.
"You got a chance to ask your questions later and make your stupid statements, let me make mine,"
And believe me folks, Rove has no shortage of stupid statements.
Now I turn your attention to this tidbit.

I think Circuit City will go by the way of the REX store and Ultimate
Electronics in the stores that we used to know and used to dream of
going to. I have never been much of a fan of CC, in fact since there
are none in this area the closest one was next door to the MicroTel at
Madison and it’s a strange feeling going in there. Something like a
twilight zone episode to which you can get in but you can never find the
exit.
Circuit city pussed out when they had plans of building a store where
the old Standard used to be...across from the evil empire BB till some
smart advisors told them that it would not be a good fit for them or
Cedar Rapids. Used to be CC was a good place to find stuff before two
years ago when some smartassed bean counter told them to fire all the
know it alls and replaced them with 6 dollar a hour "duhs". Once you
mess up a good business venture, you can never get it back and basically
CC, you blew it.
It’s going to be a pleasure to watch you fall. And they did fall. in 2010.
Finally got to see George Carlin’s HBO observation and it was a lot
better than last years Life Is Worth Nothing. Applily named It’s all
bullshit and it’s bad for you definly sums up seven years of this
bullshit we call Bush. But then again, our fucked up cable company once
again screws up part of the show by doing that fucking station test
that they are so damn famous for and missing the punch line. Which is
why Springville Cable is actually worse than Mediacunts. So I left them
a nasty message. Told them there’s are some people that try to watch
tv around midnight to 2 but always it seems we get that fucking screech
screech test and blue screen. So I missed a punch line from Carlin and
from now on, if I get interrupted by that, Springville Cable will hear
about it, twice more than the next time. Do the fucking goddamn test
between three to five AM? Geez how come nobody thinks of these
things?!? Every year, we get the yearly price raise and yet the
"programming" we get is worth the shit you wipe on toilet paper. And
the damn cable company can’t fucking program their damn EBS on those
infocommercials but they can on HBO. Get your fucking head out of your
ass Springville Two Cans and A String Cable. Every day another
aggrevation. As George Carlin said it best...Blow Me.
Steve Rassmussen writes and calls the new Carlene Carter album, ho
hum. He didn’t say it sucked but he did mention that the most of the
songs were not too memorable but it has a yucky 80s production that
didn’t work. But he did also give five stars to the Waylon Nashville
Rebel four CD anthology that Brooksie was sweet enough to give me as a
christmas present last year.
And congrats to the latest rock and roll hall of fame inductees.
Kenny Gamble/Leon Huff, The Ventures and Little Walter. Also John
Mellencamp and Leonard Cohen whose not exactly rock and roll but can
write them. Did I left anybody out? ;-)
oh yea...the Dave Clark Five.
