Qui est in? No, definitely out.

Here I am in Paris putting an end to all those nasty rumors that Serge Gainsbourg is not really dead, but living with Bruce Lee, Elvis, Jim Morrison and Jack Kennedy in Miami...

"The" Perfect Season not relegated to "another" Perfect Season

F#ck yeah! Sorry Colts fans. If any one breaks that streak, I prefer it to be Manning - a real winner. Plus, It would be good to point to one person who broke all the "unbreakable" records the Dolphnins and Dan Marino hold. That keeps those records special. But, I still celebrated when the whiste blew on today's Bolts/Colts game.

I hold before you the '72 team yearbook - the bible in PBT household. "Thus spaketh Jim Mandich, "Touchdown Dolphins! Yeah Baby!"...

Riles is back.

So, I may be even more hyperbolic than usual. Any guy that cares so much about perfection that he takes the time to sit down to write about it is aces in my book.

I've had my heart broken by the Heat so many times, I don't know what to do with this latest twist. I could wait and see...but then where's the fun in that?

So...watch the Heat. As their season goes, so goes my ever-changing moods. Looking forward to this season. But my liver is not.

When did you stop caring?

OK - so the new BRMC record is really, really growing on me. i didn't like it when I first heard it. In fact, while being one of the best live acts you could possibly see, their records have been medicore byond the blistering eye-goggle popping "Love Burns" and the droning brilliance of "Ha Ha High Babe" (on the second record).

When I first listened to Howl, I thought it was their Stoned and Dethroned - an effort to get their wits about them and figure out what kind of songs they want to write.

But, I saw them live and they took this material and @#*$ kicked it! So, put on the headphones and really give this album a good listen. Do what you will with the jesus stuff, but "Howl" and "The Line" are true classcs. The haunting verse "when did you stop caring...?" will stick with me for a long time.

out.

MES threatening to sue Franz Ferdinand...brilliant.

Passing reference to this in The Guardian. I doubt he's serious but it's a good day when an artist can say to his imitators, "Hey fuckwads. I'm still relevant. So stop copying me. I did what you're doing now twenty years ago."

I'M BACK! and is it possible to sound any more old?

Hey folks:

I'm back from my self-imposed exile helping the middle-left keep some sort of hold on the state of VA. Posting will be much more frequent and I'll also finally make my personal website live so the world can see my work. Stay tuned.

In other news, Borf pleaded guilty yesterday. Some random dude is quoted as saying,

"It's a sad commentary on our society that he will probably take his fame as a vandal and transform it into fame as an artist," said Phil Carney of Dupont Circle, who has scoured graffiti from his neighborhood for years and who came to court to learn the case's outcome.

"But there's no question he has talent and determination. Properly challenged, he could accomplish just about anything. Just let's hope it's less destructive."

Gee whiz. Old much? What a crusty, dusty fart. Look, I'm getting on in years, but if I ever make a statement like that about another artist's hard work I should be kicked in the ass.

That said, look out for more posts. Glad to be back.
