Replaced today with this new primary logo:

Clarence said...

Gee wiz, Teej.

Clarence said...

Record Store Day this Saturday. Anyone going? Squeaky?

rob said...

my first reaction to the logo? essentially the same as this deadspin headline, though i went georgia o'keefe:

George Washington Prepares To Penetrate The Anus Of The Sky God

here was wizznutzz' take:

oh yes, take open ur eyes, that erectus monumentus plungin rite into The Eternal Starfish

why aren't more people mocking this thing?

Mark said...

I'm going to be pretty bummed out watching the 30 for 30 on the 2008 Florida Football team but I'll still watch it.

rob said...

rob gronkowski will be at the green leafe later this summer, as he participates as a counselor at the colonial all-pro football camp. taking a collection to send clarence to hang out with gronk and write about it, so long as both survive.

Whitney said...

Speaking of Florida, I will be in Hollywood, FL for a conference May 3-6. Wish it were closer to my GTB FL chums. Recommendations other than watching this are appreciated.

zman said...

There's a lot going on with this logo. Viewed another way, it's a lady's delicates with a patriotic soul patch.

rob said...

somewhere, shlara's all like, 'i cannot believe my new job means i can't comment on zman's comment.'

which comment, by the way, is genius.

zman said...

Or maybe it's a naked lady bending over to tie her shoe, viewed from behind? It's a bit like a pervy Rorschach test.

rob said...

that's ridiculous.

why would a naked lady be wearing shoes?

Shlara said...

No comment...

rob said...

media pro move right there

zman said...

She ran outside to get the newspaper from the driveway? It's not my logo, don't ask me why it doesn't make sense.

zman said...

In other unrelated news, zson made me text some existential questions to God. He expected responses so I texted zfather knowing that he is the only person who would relish in playing the role of he Almighty.

Squeaky said...

And here I thought it represented DC's acceptance of mary jane as a bowl with a cherry red ember on top.

Clarence, I may have to sit RSD out this year. Boston Marathon and kids soccer happening Saturday likely to turn my RSD into a Monday afternoon quest to see what's left. Thankfully, nobody shops in Worcester, MA. So there should be some good stuff still available there.

It's hard to find but if you can get a bootleg copy of The White Stripes 'Under Amazonian Lights'. Killer live set. The vinyl is righteous.

'I'm not a robot check' was images of pizza, time to lose some weight.

Danimal said...

The only thing I know in Hollywood Clarence is the Hard Rock. That said, you should check out to see who is performing there while in town. They get some solid acts.

Danimal said...

Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Experience for example.

I feel a "Hi Gheorghies" is in order having taken a redeye to Miami from LA. It is 430 AM CA time and I'm half drunk and half hungover.

Danimal said...

330 AM. See?! Told ya.

TR said...

So is that a 1 AM flight out of East Coast? Sounds horrible unless you have a nice pill to take.

Danimal said...

Yup....10 pm PST. But am home now and feeling ok with not a lot on the agenda. It's a pretty good pay off if played correctly. (Not telling anyone other than wife and blogosphere that you are home while everyone else: coworkers, boss, tax collectors, etc thinks you are traveling all day) On the commode at moment then to the gym. It's a Dan Day.

Mark said...

Hold my calls. I have some reading (and then crying) to do: http://grantland.com/1990s-orlando-magic-oral-history/

TR said...

Is Dan Day like Dre Day?

Clarence said...

I cast aside Steven Hyden's RnRHoF piece as laughably right in line as the butt of David Kamp's Rock Snob Dictionary piece from over a decade ago (read here), right up until he said he wants Mike Love out. Now you're talkin', dude.

Clarence said...

7M3 on SiriusXM. For once, it's not "Cumbersome."

"Water's Edge" this time. Nice, SXM7M3.

Squeaky said...

Just got an linkedin update about TR. Congrats on the new skill ... Ass(et) Management.

Dave said...

the new logo has a georgia o'keefe-esque concupiscence to it.

i'm taking the high road.

rob said...

new favorite nascar team for clarence:

glad dave and i agree on the o'keefe thing.

mayhugh said...

To you parents out there - How would you handle it if one of your kids approached you and asked you to take them to see Paul Blart 2?

And I am straining to see what Zman sees in the new logo. I feel like Mr. Pitt after the 3D drawing.

Mark said...

Is smacking them acceptable?

TR said...

My buns are tight as fuck these days.

TR said...

Very funny, Mayhugh. My boys (7 and 5) think Paul Blart is the shit. They're begging to see it. This is the same 7 y/o I recently caught typing "funny rotten farts" on YouTube's search engine. Fart noises and watching fat guys fall is highly amusing to them (and maybe their father too).

In fact, I got an email from Verizon early this afternoon saying my wife had rented Paul Blart 1. Kids needed some cool down time. Spring Break is a beast when you're not away.

zman said...

Hurray For the Riff Raff on Jools Holland. They're up many of your alleys.

TR said...

Sonny Vaccaro 30 for 30 doc is fun.

Dave said...

hello ghoerghies.

that rock snob dictionary piece is awesome (i should mention that this review comes from under the influence).

Clarence said...

Hi, Gheorghies!!

And Dave.
