Rivers Cuomo covering Don’t Worry Baby with an a cappella group from Dartmouth College, the Dartmouth Aires, on his Stereogum Decomposed session. The video ends a little awkwardly, but at least they seem happy with the performance. It’s a fun version of the classic tune.

There Is Hope In My Heart
Life is not a straight line.
It isn’t an all or nothing, black and white drill, driven by absolutes.
It is strange, and imperfect, and the best shot we have at finding joy.
My new home office has incredible sunlight from 11 am till about 4pm.
This is such fantastic news.

But you’re not here.
Dad’s been cooking all day, not that you’d be surprised.
You loved Christmas and we loved you.
We’re calling everyone, and all they can say is how much they miss you, and how much you loved Christmas.
We love you, we miss you, holidays without you won’t be the same but they’ll be holidays nonetheless.

I’m not sure when I came to the realization that I was going to stay in Tampa with my family for a while, but today having pizza with my dad, playing trivial pursuit (family edition), I realized that life is about the basics, with flairs of exceptional.
So with that, I’m focused and excited and so yea.

Here is the Pete Carrol video that was on 60 Minutes recently. It’s amazing.
Thanks to Justin for sending it.
Great interview, and great guy. I really enjoyed this.

You seem to be pretty passionate about your beliefs so rather than discuss this in public and call folks stupid - email me.
I think you’d see that a novel take on one LA Times article does not an idiot make.

I can’t say I’m 100% upset we’re entering a recession. While I think success is good for any economy, the contrarian in me sees the pendulum swinging further and further, if its good for the arts to boot, count me in

Leaky Kitchen Faucet > Monsoon Season Downpour
In reality, an organic, natually ordained order takes hold and creates a time and place for any and everything.
A world as diverse as ours makes exceptions for even the most unusual and diverse wants and needs. However, for humans reality operates in a vacuum relative to our surroundings.
My needs usually operate in a parallel manner to reality, barring illnesses etc. All things grounded in...
