year zero is streaming online here

UPDATE: who did i think i was kidding?  like i was really going to be able to hold out till the 17th when it was right there in front of me.  current favorite track: vessel. 

listen to the whole entire new wilco album online now here. the album doesn't come out until May 15 so this is like waaaay early. 

im very sad that prison break is over for the season.  guess ill have to increase my visits to the gap to see the big ol wentworth miller pics to make up for it. 

finetune is a website much like pandora or slacker that will build you custom playlists based on music you like. but it also allows you to create an online mixtape to share with all your friends. what a great idea, right?!?! so i put together this here 'mixtape' of 45 songs for your listening pleasure and my amusement. ch-ch-check it out.

lots and lots and lots of time in the car this week.  4 trips back and forth to raleigh in the last 3 days. for work. hour and 10 minutes each way. i like to think of it as quality time spent with my tunes. 

im enjoying friday night lights more than any other show on tv right now.  a show about football.  go figure.

anyone know of any good get rich quick schemes?

i wonder if i amp up my levels of bitchiness while toning down competence and reliability if id be more successful in life.  

autumn is officially moved into her new house.  im so happy for her.  and andy too.  he comes home today from spring training.  i hope to get a visit in sooner than later to see the amazing transformation in person.

is it wrong that im just a little bit curious about the new teenage mutant ninja turtles movie. 

i ordered chocolate chip pancakes at ihop the other day.  but there were no chocolate chips in the pancakes. i kept digging and digging thinking they were maybe really little chips or something,..but no.... only chocolate flavored batter with a little chocolate sauce drizzled on top.  i was SEVERELY dissapointed.  i may never go to ihop again.

i feel like going to a flea market.  doing a little treasure hunting. we used to go all the time on sundays  when i was a kid. it was the best. but all the flea markets ive been brave enough to check out around here have been scary.  lucky to get out alive scary.

a good garage sale or two might go a long way to satisfying that craving.  better bring my pepper spray just in case.  oh wait, i dont have pepper spray. note to self - maybe i should get some. 

there is a god. my proof came today in the form of a couple listings on pollstar.com

wayne coyne - crazy singer dude from the flaming lips - was the tonight show's correspondent for the SXSW festival, and he'll be on with leno tomorrow night talking about it i guess.  should be interesting.

in other lips news...yoshimi battles the pink robots is going to be a broadway musical.  if it actually ever happens (we've been waiting for christmas on mars for what feels like decades now) im SO there. 

i think a lot more people would eat oatmeal if they knew it could taste as good as kashi's go lean honey and cinnamon 'instant hot cereal with clusters' .... or oatmeal.  seriously.  i eat this stuff every day for breakfast and sometimes for other meals and snacks.  its awesome.  its a little grainer...heartier than just plain oatmeal....and i love it. i dont know if the carry it at every grocery store, but our walmart supercenter always has it.  you should try it. i wouldnt be blogging about oatmeal unless it was the best thing EVER. (the vanilla flavor isnt as good.  make sure you get honey and cinnamon.)
