How disappointed would the people at the MacArthur Foundation be if they managed to make the world far more just and far more peaceful but fell way short on the verdant part?

If Draft Kings Inc acquired the maker of Triple T Pack (testosterone supplement) - that would definitely be an anti-trust violation

Here is a random musing. Pearl Jam's album "Pearl Jam" released in 2006 is really good. I mean, it isn't Yield, Versus or Vitalogy, but it is really freaking good.

What tour was it that the put out all those cardboard live albums? I was thinking about that the other day as one reason I miss my old CD collection.

The 2000 tour was the first with the official bootlegs, and the one where you'd see a bunch of cardboard albums in the P section at your preferred music retailer.

I'll agree on the Pearl Jam "Avocado" album as well, though I think the production is too harsh. They called Riot Act their "anti-Pro Tools" album in interviews, and it seems like they embraced the digital production for the follow-up album. There are some great songs with an epic feel on that album, though, like Severed Hand, Come Back, and, one of my all-time favorites, Marker in the Sand.

Also, it has an avocado on the cover. And on the back cover.

Yes, I might listen to a little too much NPR.

Yeah 2000 Binaural tour. I used to collect those bootlegs. I was silly.

People camping out for IKEA or Chick fila grand openings or the latest Iphone are strange. Then again, I camp in the woods for the [expletive] of it.
