The Black Keys @ The TLA
I just got back from seeing the Black Keys at the TLA. They’re a great two piece, garage-blues band from Akron, OH. The sound was kind of weird for the first two songs, but then they rocked into Thickfreakness and it sounded great. Thickfreakness isn’t one of my favorite songs on the CD, but it…

Open Mic Recap @ The Treehouse (9/29/04)
Last Wednesday I stopped by the Treehouse open mic for the first time since I stopped hosting it. It was great to see Jarod, Katie, Johnny Miles, Bob, Rob, and others. I played Beck’s “Let’s Go Moon Some Cars,” “99%,” and “I Hope I Die on the Moon.” Chris played a great cover of Jeff…

Washington DC Baseball
So the Expos are moving to Washington, DC and now they need a new name. If you go to this site, you can suggest a new name for the team. I came up with a pretty good name, The Washington Whips. It has plenty of political and promotional appeal. Republicans and Democrats each have their…

The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien in 2009
Best idea ever. Just don’t change. NBC’s “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno will retire at the end of his current five-year contract in 2009 and be replaced by “Late Night” host Conan O’Brien, the network said on Monday.

Copernicus Couldn’t Pick the Dead Celebrity
My experiment in predicting celebrity deaths ended in failure last week. No one on the list died in the timeframe I predicted, so I have to wonder what went wrong. I think my method of choosing the sample celebrities was flawed in that I used the first 50 celebrities I thought of (25 men and…

Survivor Starts This Week
Is anyone wondering what I’ve been doing since I stopped doing the open mic? I’ve been watching the first season of Survivor on DVD. Stop laughing. I just got through the 3rd DVD and Sean is definitely the dumbest person I’ve ever seen on the show. The new season starts this Thursday and hopefully it…

Flickr review
I found a pretty cool photo sharing site called Flickr. You can upload photos and share them with people, but the coolest feature is the ability to tag images with keywords and search other people’s albums using those tags. For example, you can search for cloud, red, piano, etc. It’s better than Google Image Search…
