The hairs of varying mysterious origins that you find attached to all the tape on the item you won from Ebay - rarely mentioned in the auction; usually thrown in at no extra charge; always vile.
They Might Be Giants - Till My Head Falls Off (Live)*
There were 87 Advil in the bottle now there’s 30 left.
I ate 47 so what happened to the other 10?
There’s a small part of my brain that wishes TMBG got the widespread attention, respect, and mass success that they deserved before their excellent kids albums shoved them into the mainstream.
But there’s a much larger part of my brain that is happy I was able to enjoy them for so many years amongst modest numbers of truly faithful fans.
Of the bands I consider to be my all-time favorites, being a TMBG fan feels the most like I’m a member of a secret society that’s been given special access to some of the most entertaining music that’s ever been created.
*(I chose the Severe Tire Damage version only because the guitar solo absolutely rips.)

where did you get your desk/table? is it sturdy? is it made of particleboard?
Good question. I think it was given to me by my uncle who worked maintenance at Xerox. It was likely a victim of corporate downsizing, destined for the dumpster, and somehow made it way into my possession.
It’s extremely sturdy and I’m not sure what it’s made out of, but it’s likely very thick particle board. It’s quite heavy. I can’t imagine what it would take to actually break this thing, but it would not be easy.
weezer - Dope Nose
2:17 of no frills rock.
Maladroit is, by far, the most overlooked weezer album. It’s also their best post-pinkerton album, and that’s saying a lot considering that most songs have ridiculous lyrics and the songs don’t really have much cohesion when taken together as a whole.
Though, to be honest, I’m sure the reason I like Maladroit so much is because it’s so raw, under-produced, and non-stop shred from start to finish.
