| 1 CommentYou know what really grinds my gears? When the Brooklyn Vegan hypes the show I’ve been looking forward to all summer, because this vastly increases the chance of its selling out. Happiness is seeing Boat live at CakeShop with less than ten other people.

Sunday: at the Lucero show (awesome), I got much happiness from hearing Ben drop some El Guapo referencesfrom one of my favorite cowboy movies. “For some people, lack of education may be their El Guapo. For me, Scott is my El Guapo”

Best Springsteen love song?
Who is worse: Costner or Cruise?
And that’s what makes them intriguing … if you have someone you have never liked in anything, say someone like Pauly Shore, then there’s really nothing to argue about. But Costner and Cruise are interesting and worth arguing about [...]
