Filler, Also Vital to Life

Just changing the view up in here, friends. I'm really digging Ra Ra Riot's relatively new tune, 'Water'. It's got a little Beta Band vibe, with some modern alt-rock thrown in. Enjoy:

  1. Watch me sell five copies of The Three EPs by The Beta Band.

  2. "Ghost Under Rocks" by Ra Ra Riot made my end of year compilation a number of years back and still holds up.

  3. Watching the Tribe vs UNCW. Seahawks raining 3's on them early 2nd half. W&M sporting a whole lotta honk.

  4. daniel dixon's out sick. doesn't help the melanin count. since he's the only non-honk that gets any minutes. and one of only two on the roster. that's actually amazing, even for w&m.

  5. Looks like UK-Texas Western '66. Let's hope it ends better for the Cauc ring.

  6. Irish and Dukes with big road wins today.

  7. The Notre Dame-Duke game was highly entertaining. As was Oklahoma-West Virginia. Pats-Chiefs...not so much.

  8. Ditto on WVU-OK. Big 12 is stacked this year.

  9. I've decided I'm rooting for the Cardinals to win it all. I like Fitzgerald and Palmer.

  10. Pour some out for Ted Marchibroda.

  11. zson announced he likes the guys with the yellow pants because he wants to wear cheese on his head.

  12. My 6 y/o told me today that he has a friend named whose name is a potty word. He then said "his name is JJ, like a girl's private parts," and pointed to his own private parts.

    So my 6 y/o knows what a vajayjay is. I may not win Dad of the year after all.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Tough to argue with Zson's logic.

    And if I had to root for a team in these playoffs, it would be Arizona.

  14. six teams are tied for first in the caa at 4-2. can we just skip ahead to march?

    ReplyDelete
  15. I like when Rob makes the same point on both Twitter and G:TB. His musings are that important. To him at least.

    ReplyDelete
  16. big saturday night for you, too, mark?

    ReplyDelete
  17. This will be Tom Brady's tenth AFC championship game in fourteen years as a starter (not counting the year he missed sixteen games). He won six of the previous nine. That's ... impressive.

  18. Yes sir. I've left my house twice today since 4 pm. To pick up the teenager from a friend's house and to buy a new toothbrush. Other than that, it's been college basketball, NFL playoffs and Twitter. Recently added bourbon to the mix.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I did buy two new pairs of shoes yesterday though. So it's been a pretty exciting weekend.

    ReplyDelete
  20. saw 'the big short' tonight. it's quite entertaining, right up until the point that it's really fucking depressing.

    ReplyDelete
  21. my daughter is facetiming with a friend. who lives in the house next door. kids are lazy as shit.

    what kind of kicks, mark?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Kobe x elite low- black/pink/grey colorway

    Flynit racers- bright citrus

    I've also got a tattoo appointment for Monday which will conclude the "I won a bunch of money in fantasy football and I'm going to spend some of it. Damn it. Tour." I'll be responsible with the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes they are. I've been eyeing them for months now. I didn't "need" new basketball shoes but I finally found them on sale. Had to do it.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Those citrus racers are cool. I like the Oreos too.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I got the citrus racers for 50% off. My first pair of flyknits. I wanted the Oreos but my size wasn't available.

    ReplyDelete
  26. My mother in law bought my kid an iPad mini for her birthday. She's turning 4. Yes, I appreciate how absurd this is.

    Here's the thing though: I love the iPad mini so much more than our iPads. Gonna have to steal/trade this.

  27. Holy fuck is right. This game is now approaching Dolphins-Chargers playoffs game from the Super Bowl XVI year as greatest playoff game ever. And I love watching a great game that doesn't feature a shit-ton of scoring.

    Last point - I supported McCarthy's decision to go for it on 4th down w/ 3 minutes. Play to win.

    If the Pack wins, Olivia Munn offers up every hole, right? (Sorry. I'm overserved.)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Holy fuck. Larry Fitzgerald.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Larry just made it into Canton w/ that play.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Holy fuck. Fitz. Shovel pass. Wow.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Two future hall of famers simply refusing to lose.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Where does Michelle Tafoya's Botox injector rank among the MVPs of this game?

    ReplyDelete
  33. Bad beat if you were giving 6 and a hook.

    ReplyDelete
  34. And how unnecessary is Costas? Are there any spotts fans out there who want less Dan Patrick and more Costas?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Last comments - SweetWater IPA from Hotlanta is mighty tasty.

    And here's an SNL question - does Timberlake join Chris Stapleton on stage at some point? Everybody wins, right?

    ReplyDelete
  36. That was great. I should talk shit about the NFL on Twitter more often.

    ReplyDelete
  37. My company's headquarters are less than a mile from the Sweetwater Brewery.

    I've heard of this Chris Stapleton. I've never heard Chris Stapleton.

  38. mini summit happening in f-l-a in three weeks with mark and fam. danimal, would love to see you as well

    ReplyDelete
  39. Went to see Badfish, the Sublime tribute band last night. Fascinating. Sublime was around for a handful of years and three albums, and their tribute band played to a packed house of clearly ardent fans 20 years after Bradley Nowell died. Good stuff. Daddy's got a new .45.

  40. zdaughter knows the first half of the chorus to Bo Bo Bo!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. Sean McDermott's attempt to get a HC role isn't going to go well if he blows a 31 pt lead against Seattle.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Happy birthday to Motley Crue, who turns 35 today.

    ReplyDelete
  43. My weekends have become a bit different since starting our own version of Mutt's Cuts. For at least another couple of weeks I'm solo w kids on the weekends. When do you get in? Please advise.

    ReplyDelete
  44. please tell me you got the shaggin' wagon, danimal?

    ReplyDelete
  45. No Roberto. No mobile stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Does Pete Carroll have a chewing gum sponsorship?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Scratching my head over Rivera challenging that catch.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I'm at a children's museum. Game doesn't appear to be interesting at all

    ReplyDelete
  49. I love 40 oz to Freedom. Frat bros at Florida ruined Sublime for me for a time but I've gotten over that. I very much dig Sublime when I'm drinking poolside or at the beach.

    Looking forward to my romantic Valentine's Day dinner with Teej.

  50. I'm getting caught up on Denver Pittsburgh. Roethlisberger's arm must still hurt. He's throwing like Chad Pennington.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Both teams are trotting out noodled armed QBs and butter fingered receivers.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Ocelot Jive and Lyrics Ipa. You heard it here first.

    ReplyDelete
  53. yet another quality loudoun county product, ken. we need to arrange a local brewery tour.

    ReplyDelete
  54. zson is rooting against the steelers because people who steal are bad.
