No thanks to the treadmill...no thanks to the grindstone...

Rare to medium rare.

I like it pink in the middle, or maybe red...but I hate it when it's PURPLE. That's tartar in my book.

Wonder why they're "firming up a label deal"...they're not gonna go throught Act/Resist or Artemis or Transmit Sound or whatever it's called this week?

No, Tarkio isn't a person, it's a band. They released an album ("I Guess I Was Hoping For Something More") in 1998 and then an EP ("Sea Songs For Landlocked Sailors") in 1999 and then dissolved.

San Jose, CA We are home to SMASHMOUTH (bleh, I don't reccomend) and Downside...which is actually pretty good. They're a rock group that went to my high school; they've released a couple albums that are really quite good...so, if you're into some good rock, check 'em out. The only problem is finding...

Nick Drake - Pink Moon

Not sure if that counts, but if it does, then he definitely wins.

Tweedy is the ultimate voice of reason amidst all this nonsense. Bravo to him I say.

Three thumbs up for Creed!

Anyway, that's my ramblings. All those thoughts came to me in the shower last night. Not gonna ask, dude. Not gonna ask... :P I kind of disagree about Being There. It is a cohesive album IMO. I can't say much more than that, but I have no trouble putting in on and letting it run (i.e. Trace, Strang...

I'm listening to the four Uncle Tupelo albums in chronological and album order!!

Then it's on to the Anthology.
