I just looked at the blog and noticed that the trackoday went from John Prine to Tonnage. There probably aren’t two other tracks in my collection that would clash like those do. I recommend not listening to them back-to-back.

But, this also reinforces the fact that you never know what might be the next trackoday. And you thought I was just an alt-rock weenie…

The picture is taken with a cell phone by our friend J (who’s in the amazing band, The Skullcranes). Jennifer and I missed the show because we both got sick during the day on Monday. By Tuesday we had dropped off the face of the earth (but luckily, not our bed).

We’re back in the land of the living now and hopefully The Hip will be back at least one more time. Apologies to J and Lisa for the short cancellation notice. We owe you.

I logged into g-talk this morning and noticed that two of my contacts (who don’t know each other and are not in each other’s contact lists) both had links to different YouTube videos for a song Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton. One link was to what appears to be a user-created video for the song (go Web 2.0!) and the other is a live performance of the song by Jonathan himself (I especially relate to his pre-song banter).

In the interest of perpetuating this meme, I have embedded the videos below.
