To whom it may concern, I am a few blocks outside flood zone C and pretty well stocked up and ready for whatever Irene has in store.
Usually I really don’t care who wins or loses in air guitar, but @NordicThunder just got fucking robbed, plain and simple, and I’m pissed.

How perfect is it that Explosions in the Sky are essentially the Michael Bay of indie rock?
The parallel parking standoff outside is finally over. Not sure what the cops did, but the wrongful victor’s shitty park job is priceless.
We are now thirty minutes into an exact replica of Seinfeld’s “The Parking Space” on my block. Squad car number two just arrived. #adulthood

Someday my tombstone will read:

Deal Frees ‘West Memphis Three’ in Arkansas
This is the very definition of bittersweet. And Arkansas’s legal wrangling that keeps them from getting sued by keeping closed what should be an open child murder case? Well, I’m not sure how much more fucked up a thing can get.
Overjoyed by the release of the West Memphis Three. Enraged at the legal quagmire that has denied them exoneration.

First physical newspaper I’ve read in a long time. I keep looking to the top of the page for the current time.
Dreamt that A Tribe Called Quest woke me up from a nap to ask me to design their web site. I had some good ideas before I woke up for real.

As of today, I have been an official resident of Brooklyn for one year. I shall celebrate by spending $20 on an ice cream cone.
Some good responses to my best band / worst fans query. So far, the one I most agree with is Ween. For my part, I’ll throw in Mr. Bungle.
Here’s a fun #MusicMonday question: What is the best band with the worst fans?
