“I’m proud of you for not abandoning CDs and just ripping everything into...”
– Hey look yesterday was horrible for many reasons but also a co-worker sent this email after surveying the little cityscape of CDs artfully arranged in the corner of my desk. And that was nice.

Certainly this was making the best of a bad situation, but I feel bad for people who thought they were going to take the metro home.

I feel like “Red Money” is a song that could go on forever. Which is why it makes a good closer, you see.

The rest of Shott’s rumination on the plight of the sports bar in a post-___ era is a nice read, but I just wanted to highlight this portion. Rather.

The state ordered a review of the Our Virginia: Past and Present textbook which is used in some, but not all, of the state’s classrooms after The Washington Post reported on the claim regarding black Confederate soldiers. The Post reports today that the review, which involved five professional historical scholars, yielded a list of errors from the text which was “several pages...

It’s funny to me (well, not funny ha ha), that bars would set themselves up in such an arrangement. A “nice liquor selection” and hand-crafted, artisnal cocktails but it’s all fancy Jim Beam for the bourbon and every different flavor of Johnnie when all anyone ever really needs is the black. Lagunitas IPA and (?) Chimay on tap next to a wide array of Anheuser-Busch and...

Turn that frown upside down
One time I read this Batman story in which the Joker traps a bunch of people in a theater including Bruce Wayne and forces them to perform standup and he is the judge and if they bomb he just kills them so Bruce Wayne told this joke about how he went to school the day after his parents were murdered and a teacher asked him what they said before they died and he answered, “Well, they kinda went,...

The lady in the cube/office hybrid adjacent to me but from behind relative to how I sit has been draping a long coat over over the top notch of her open “door” for the past few days and I keep catching it out of the corner of my eye and assuming someone is there but no one ever is.

Which isn’t to say Meltzer was reluctant to join the party. In his piece, Meltzer made a strong case that Elvis Presley should be the next to go. “Elvis oughta die real soon,” Meltzer wrote. “He deserves it both because he’s no good no more (so he deserves to die like a dirty dog) and because he’s still okay or used to be (so he deserves a better peace than all the cretins squawking at him...

Music Notes from the Road (But Not On the Road)
I’ve noticed that when I rap the Jay-Z verses to myself I’m using the Fred Durst voice. I think that’s very appropriate.
The opening to the Eurythmics version of “Winter Wonderland” is a better love as a parable for the Cold War than “Every Breath You Take,” discuss.
As I crossed the Susquehanna it was...

Look, I readily acknowledge that I was an abject failure at every single other thing I tried to do this year, buy you know what? I got Nic to listen to Kanye West. And that’s got to count for something.

I just got it. Hans Zimmer learned everything he knows about music from the supplemental-to-the-actual-song dramatic bits of the Bad videos.
