First of all, good luck to the UW hockey team tonight... they play Michigan tonight in the NCAA regionals. I have Michigan tabbed as the team to beat in the tourney, so it'll be a tough one for UW. I'll have it on tape, and will probably be watching it tomorrow morning. More than likely in fast forward.

BTW: the american version of the Office was on last night, and it was essentially the same plot triggers as the BBC version. Even the stapler in jello (jelly). So my question... why waste the money on recreating the same thing? Why not just run the BBC version? I dunno. I didn't understand the original office at first, but the second run through, I thought it was hilarious. Maybe that's why they recreated it. Last night, even though it was the same thing as the BBC one, I laughed even harder this time through.

Not sure if anyone caught the OC last night, but in the bar scene (yeah? kids in high school in a bar? happens all the time...), guess what's playing in the background? Paris, Texas. Pretty cool, seems they're getting a lot of airplay lately. xkachooji and I went to high school with Sam, and have been in several incarnations of bands with him. It's good to see some success going on around you, you know? Seems they're having fun.

In accordance to the reunion show I will be seeing in Chicago tonight, I will leave with a trail of links on all things Slint; enjoy:

Slint Reunion Tour Dates This page inspired me to bring my DV camera along to film the show (if possible), as it sounds like they're looking to acquire multiple sources of images and sounds for archival. May as well try, right?

Steve Albini's Review of Spiderland Very true.... (Washer is probably my favorite Slint song)
