ok, enough bitching, new gimmick for the blog featuring the greatest footballer in the world right now.

kick it off with one of the best goals i've ever seen:

renaldo balkman!

holy fucking jesus!
that's all i'm going to say. below is a picture from espn.com's page 2:

and here's an excerpt from a lupica article:


Here is second-rate blues singer Jimmy Dolan's idea of facing the music: He sits with Steve Mills and Isiah Thomas and one of his PR people and takes questions only from the seven Knicks beat reporters. Then he goes on his own network with Thomas, suddenly turned into a hood ornament yesterday, and is interviewed by one of his very own announcers, Al Trautwig.

And the whole time you watch this, at least the part you were allowed to watch, on Dolan's pathetic version of state television, something else he is running into the ground, you are thinking one thing: Dolan thinks his own fans are as dumb about basketball as he is. Maybe that is why he treats them with such contempt.

"(I hope) the fans understand the moves that get made," Dolan says to Trautwig, apparently under the impression that even though the fans don't have a prayer of understanding the moves Thomas has made already, they're suddenly going to crack The Isiah Code now.

This is after Dolan says on his own television network that Larry Brown "begged" Dolan and Thomas to bring Stevie Francis to the Knicks.

Dolan says this with a straight face. To Trautwig's credit, he managed to listen with a straight face, even though he should have been leaning forward enough to fall out of his chair and saying something along these lines:

"Mr. Dolan, do you actually believe anybody with an IQ above room temperature believes that?"

music video mondays!

hah, not this week...

gorillaz - "dirty harry"

music video mondays!

one of these days, this will actually be posted on a monday...

matt costa - "cold december"

music video mondays!

2 days late...
i'll have a wakarusa review for y'all in a few.

wakarusa bound!

ohhh yeahhh... leaving for lawrence kansas early tomorrow morning for the festival.

should be good fun. apparently we're taking 5 cases of beer in, so that might set us straight for the 4 days. 5 cases of beer into a festival sponsored by new belgium brewing...

other than the obvious bands (ymsb, franti, flaming lips, sts9...), i'm really excited to see tea leaf green and keller and the keels. not a huuugeee huge fan of keller by himself, but with the keels, it's more bluegrassy? still bummed that gomez dropped from the line-up.

it will be soooo great to take a break from boulder. not that this town sucks, but it's gotten a little old and i'm suffering from some serious wanderlust. well... fixing that by going to kansas? yeah i know. that london trip in august is looking kinda shaky, but if i don't get to go, i'll replace it with trips back to new york and to the northwest. silver lining.

alrighty, time to get packing!

btw, the yanks rock!

music video mondays!

a day early to compensate for last week.

i guess they don't list the track in the actual video,
so, this is:

clap your hands and say yeah - "over and over again"
