captains dead

thank goodness for wgn! i was about to subject myself to watching some bad fear.net movie on comcast when i noticed that my sox were playin the cubs. perfect television for a particularly chilly/lazy sunday afternoon here in atlanta. i will say this, the cubs have bought themself a pretty fine team this year, and if they dont make it to the playoffs, i dont think they ever will again. as for my boys, they have an outstanding team too, i just hope they can win 95+ games this year. hopefully that will be good enough to get them back to the playoffs. frankly, i think the twins and the tigers were flukes last year.

in other news, the new wilco, sky blue sky, is an interesting listen. i dont know what i was expecting but it definitely wasn’t the songs that make up said record. so, my first listen was not one of pure enjoyment, in fact i think i wasnt very psyched at all. the second listen definitely unfurled a few gems, most notably the latter half of the record including “hate it here,” “walken” and “what light.” there is this weird grateful dead and steely dan vibe that is kinda hard to get past, but also makes the recording kinda endearing.

todays offering is a killer bleach era performance recorded live @ the bling pig in ann arbor, michigan. its not the greatest sound quality, but the energy is pretty spectacular.
