Wilco, "Standing O", Overture Hall, Madison, WI, October 5, 2011

How can you tell You're under a spell You're compromised You're miles away Slow How can you know When you're aiming low There's nothing in your heart Don't feel it in your soul No standing O O O Maybe you've noticed I'm not ashamed Of anything that I've done Maybe you've noticed that I'm not the same As almost anyone Why can't you see You look funny to me You trip and fall I catch it all O How can you know When you're aiming low You're curling up You're crawling now No standing O O O Maybe you're saying no this time Dance right around my bones It's o.k. I'll be fine I won't follow you home Instead I turn my mood on a dime I'm finally off my back I come from a long, long line I mope and I cry and attack OW OW How can you tell You're under my spell Compromised Miles away No standing O O O Maybe you've noticed I'm not afraid Of everything that I've done Maybe you've noticed I'm not the same As almost anyone Instead turn my mood on a dime I'm finally off of my back I come from a long, long line I mope and I cry and attack How can you tell How can you tell = by WILCO

Subject: Mario's '93 comeback in Phili + all girls Harcum College = what a weekend. ..

so i met this girl on the telephone by accident when she called our place in West College actually for a friend in the hockey house next door. .. i find myself going to Phili w/ a friend who lived off Phili's Main Line and that was my destination so I could meet-up with this girl on the phone and hang out at the all girls Harcum College on Phili's main line. .. After a fun night as an overnight (snuck-in) guest at Harcum with a couple lovely coed hosts = the next morning in Coma from teh drinks I had  the nite before my hockey friend informs me that his dad's car dealership has season tix and why not catch the Phili Vs. Pittsburgh game? It would be fun + he heard Mario was returning to the ice after a recent absence. .. Sure, why not? The way the sun was coming into the Spectrum on this hockey afternoon was just looking so cool, so right, while I washed away my Coma with ice cold beers. .. Seeing Mario on the ice was always magical. .. And, I knew it was there = the energy. .. At one point, my MainLine Phili friend said, "man, you better calm down.  ..these fans aren't gonna like it." ... "It's OK, man." I felt just as safe as I did "sneaking" into the space outside the doors of  the Penguins locker-room in the Civic Arena as a kid = seeing familiar faces looking over me while I wait for Pat Price, Paul Baxter, Mike Bullard, George Feurgoson, Bobby Simpson --- and just as safe as I felt skating the little rink in Mt. Lebennon H.S. one-on-one with Pat Price @ the Ken Schinkel Hockey School . .. "It's OK, man," I replied = I knew the magic was there.

Ryan Adams - Lucky Now

I don’t remember were we wild and young
All that faded into memory
I feel like somebody I don’t know
Are we really who we used to be
Am I really who I was

The lights will draw you in
And the dark will bring you down
And the night will break your heart
But only if you’re lucky now

Waiting outside while you find your keys
Like bags of trash in the blackening snow
City of neon and toes that freeze
We’ve got nothing and nowhere to go
We’ve got nothing and nowhere

And the lights will draw you in
And the dark will take you down
The night will break your heart
But only if you’re lucky now

And if the lights will draw you in
And the dark will take you down
But love will mend your heart
But only if you’re lucky now

I don’t remember were we wild and young
All that’s faded into memory
Are we really who we used to be
Am I really who I used to be
Am I really who I was

Make Fun of Me

It's OK not to be liked
Reasons. .. Reason. ..
Pick a season. ..
It's easy to make fun of me
But leave the eggshells alone
Know what you take
With strokes of your sticks & stones
Lookin' to break some bones.. .HO

Seasons. .. Season. ...to
Pick a reason. ... Reasons. ..
You think you live a funny TV show
Those around you should know.

But know what you take

My gold marigolds attack
My black bed of roses
I'm going to bring 'em all back
With hypnosis Ho

And I know that I won't be
The easiest to set free
And I know that I won't been the last
Cold captain tied to the mast

I recall on the telephone
I recall when you get mad
I'll still love you to death
And I won't ever forget how

And I know that I won't be
The easiest to set free
And I know that I won't been the last
Cold captain tied to the mast

I'm on the other side
I'm satisfied
I'm a spirit dove
I'm looking for your love

I'm simple as a matter of fact
Punch in the nose, dont over-react
But I'll still love you to death
And I won't ever forget how

And I know that I won't be
The easiest to set free
And I know that I won't been the last
Cold captain tied to the mast

And I know that I won't be the one
To securely know when it's wrong
But I hope I know when it's passed
And I hope I'll know when to show you my

Whole love (x8)

The Jayhawks peform "Tiny Arrows" on Soundcheck in The Greene Space

Wandered through the desert
Looking for my way
Under rocks and houses
Snakes burn in the day
Coyote is howling
In the mountains far away

Dusty winters
Leave what's left behind
There are no reasons
To find what I call mine
Fences mean nothing
The sunrise disappears

Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky

And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where, where did it go?

The wind is whistling
Coats are buttoned high
Funny people
With nowhere left to hide
The canyon caravan
Rolls along

Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky

And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where, where did it go?

Didn't know those tiny arrows
Made of metal, pierced the heart
Didn't know those tiny arrows
Made of metal, pierced the heart
I didn't know those tiny arrows
Made of metal, pierced the heart

Sit and watch the river flow
Try and touch the sky

And I don't mind
The sound of the song bird trying
Follow what you can find
Childhood washed away
Where did it go?
Where, where did it go?

Where, where did it go?

Surfer rides 90 foot wave (World Record)

On his website, Garrett McNamara is a self-described "extreme surfer." Interestingly enough, this may be the understatement of the century. The American professional surfer broke the world record for "Largest Wave Surfed" by conquering a 90 foot behemoth. "Extreme" doesn't quite do this feat justice.

Cool.

To rise and fall
without the hands of gravity
to see it all
my hand to cover up my eyes
to move inside
suspended by my sense of self
along the line
the river flows and so do I

and Charles Atlas stands upon the beach
upon his head and says
I will not fall
I will not fall
I will not fall

to live the groove
is everything that I need
to see you move
when grace is just a simple wisdom
to feel
to live
to speak the truth at every junction
to be with you
and with myself and my suspicion

and Charles Atlas stands upon the beach
upon his head and says
I will not fall
I will not fall
I will not fall

and Charles Atlas stands upon the beach
upon his head and says
I will not fall
I will not fall
I will not fall

I, I, I, I, I will not fall

Interview with Jim Morrison's father and sister

"Whoever controls the media controls the mind" --- Jim Morrison

The Rolling Stones Before They Make Me Run San Diego 1994

This is about the Rock and Roll lifestyle that got Keith Richards in trouble. The song was recorded while he was out on bail after getting caught with heroin and arrested for drug trafficking in Toronto in 1977. He was found guilty of the lesser charge of heroin possession, and sentenced to probation.Richards sang lead and did the majority of the work on this song. With Keith's drug charges pending, Mick Jagger took a lot of control on the album, but this song was pretty much all Keith.The original title was "Rotten Roll."Richard's vocals were double-tracked to make them stand out.The first bit of the song is about the drug death of Richard's friend Gram Parsons.An engineer named Dave Jordan helped mix this song. He went on to work with groups like The Specials and The Pogues.

Working Class Hero - John Lennon

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty hard years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me

The Grilled Cheese Truck: When "Really Cheesy" is a Great Thing

2011 Mina Riazi

The land of glittery tans and silicon dreams, Los Angeles is no stranger to the many manifestations of cheesy. Meet Dave Danhi, President and Executive Chef of The Grilled Cheese Truck, one of the country's most celebrated food trucks. Here, he talks to Poor Taste about his appetite for seafood, what he loves most about Los Angeles, and the perfect grilled cheese.
What inspired the idea of The Grilled Cheese Truck? "A friend of mine sent me an invite to The Grilled Cheese Invitational back in 2009 and I realized I had never competed in the food competition in all the years that I had been a chef. I went and there was a line over a mile long and over five people wide and that's when I realized that there is such a large grilled cheese food following."

What about the grilled cheese sandwich do you think attracts such a large following? "What I try to bring it back to and one of the reasons for our success is that grilled cheese is the ultimate comfort food and everybody in this country was brought up with a grilled cheese sandwich. We take their childhood food memories and feed their adult palettes. It makes them feel like kids again."

What is your second favorite way to savor cheese? "I'm a purist when it comes to that. I love just a cheese board with cheese at the right temperature and some good, crunchy bread. I love to hit the cheese tastings in Los Angeles."

What makes or breaks a grilled cheese sandwich? "Some people are purists and when I talk to them it's cheddar and bacon, cheese and bread. For me, being the chef, it's a good marriage of flavors and textures– but it's got to be cooked correctly. I feel very strongly that the butter needs to be put onto the bread rather than onto the pan because when you put it on the pan the sandwich feels greasy. I have two people that spend time just buttering the bread."

"We have to re-impress everyone every day. We're the second most followed truck in the country next to Kogi, and never do we assume that there's going to be a line in front of the truck. The goal is to keep impressing people."

As a food innovator in Los Angeles, what do you like about your city? "I like that Los Angeles is so casual and that I don't have to be in a suit and tie in order to eat at a fancy restaurant. One of my biggest reasons as a chef is that the produce here is at the top of the list and the seafood is the best in the country–whether it's the fish markets, the farmer's markets, or the local purveyors."

What about Los Angeles makes it such a promising breeding ground for new food trucks? "One of the reasons is that we're a very spread out city–we're more a horizontal city than a vertical city and I think that has helped with the food trucks, but to be honest with you I think it's more a national thing. This country has never had a large street food culture and I think the country has been dying for a street food culture and due to the economy, people can now go to date-night for 25 dollars."
