I don't mind Honey Brown. It's ok. Samuel Adams Honey Porter and Pilsner Urquel are tied for Worst. Beer. Ever. They're just garbage nd undrinkable by me.

No, it's just that sad.

"Get Down Moses"- Joe Strummer and the Mescalaros

"The Same Deep Water as You"- The Cure

I can't believe that Billboard added a category for downloading. What the fuck?

Yikes. Y & T? How can I take this list seriously now? "Cowboy Song" should be much higher on the list. I've never heard a song whose solos match it more perfectly. It's also a great song, my personal favourite from Thin Lizzy.

The Heisman Trophy is supposed to go to the best player in college football. With that being said, Larry Fitzgerald should win the award. He probably won't for two reasons: 1.He's a sophomore 2.Pitt slumped a bit towards the end of the season Still, he's the best player in America, while White isn't the best player on his team.

That's a band I haven't listened to or even thought about in a long time. Jeff Keith does have quite the awesome voice.

"Disappear"- Mazzy Star

My first car was a 1984 Olympic Edition Buick Skylark. It was a total shitbox, but man I had some good times in that beast.

"Take a Look"- Liz Phair

Raising all that money for kids by running the NYC Marathon has to count for something. And you have to mention "Da Band." He's going to make another young group of kids very wealthy and famous. Nah, Diddy hasn't done anything.

But Laz, a record deal is record deal, right? If they can get signed and put their album out to the masses, why not go for it, even if Trapt sucks?

It jsut started snowing here in Wheeling. We're supposed to get somewhere between 4-6" today which will make my trip up Rte. 88 to school one HELL of a trip. Nothing more fun than driving up and down a hill containing multiple uphill and downhill hairpin turns in the snow. Good times, I tells ya. Good times.

Remember Bud Light's commercials starring Spuds McKenzie? Fraggle Rock anyone?

Not really. When nobody lives in a town, I'm sure it's quite safe to walk the streets at night... That's a good point. Although lately, some Chicago drug dealers have made their way into The Valley, especially Steubenville. The cops up there have been confiscating ALOT of drugs almost by the day it seems. There have been more murders in the last month in the area than there were in the last year. Damn Chicagoans and their drugs ruining my Valley.

"Mountain Song"- Jane's Addiction

Fucking Oprah. I thought it would be 10 years or so on their reunion tour before we hear the Backstreet Boys again.

Wow. Steubenville, Ohio made the overall safest list. That's a bit of a shock. I can't believe Chicago didn't make the most dangerous list.

"Celebration Day"- Led Zeppelin

That he does, but I think The World Needs a Hero tops it. Mega Dave finally remembered how to write a good metal song for that album, and it showed.

I preferred the name I came up with, which was "Embellish." But oh well, it's not my band.

I found out that my brother's band, Inept(based out of the Chicago area. Well, Joliet, to be exact), will be spending the entire month of February out in Los Angeles. The rather popular-with-the-kids band Trapt is flying them out to LA on 31 January and putting them up for a month. They'll be recording and playing shows all over California with the band. The lead singer for Trapt's father is starting a new label and wants Inept to be their flagship act. I'm a very proud big brother, and I thought I'd share this new info with my fellow music friends at TSM. If you're up for it, check out http://www.ineptband.com and DL some of their MP3's. If you like them, great. If not, to each his/her own.

"Cut You In"- Jerry Cantrell Great song frm a great album.
