Lately I’ve been thinkin’ about the past
About the good times
And have they all come and gone
And are there more years behind than ahead
Then I say to myself

None of the Above
I am I myself alone,
I realize I never need to use no-one.
When it comes down to my soul,
Freedom puts my faith in none of the above

In Spite Of Ourselves
I tuned my rental car’s satellite radio to Radio Margaritaville this morning and fell in love with this colorful song. I gotta check out the rest of John Prine’s work!
In Spite Of Ourselves
John Prine and Iris DeMent
She don’t like her eggs all runny
She thinks crossin’ her legs is funny
She looks down her nose at money
She gets it on like the Easter bunny
She’s my baby I’m her honey
I’m never gonna let her go

This may be the funniest geek humor I’ve ever seen. I was building the OSX plugin for the XMMS audio player just now when I got this ‘error’:
checking pthread.h usability… yes
…checking for GTK – version >= 1.2.0… yes
checking for xmms-config… /opt/local/bin/xmms-config
checking for gawk… (cached) awk
checking for XMMS – version >= 1.2.0… yeschecking for white_boys in -lFunkyMusic.so… no
Warning: You may not have enough white boys to play your funky music.
Please obtain additional funky white boys.configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile…
Kudos to Bob Dean! We’ll see if it will work in spite of these limited resources. 🙂
[Update] Must not have enough funky white boys: the plugin segfaults. 🙁
They Might Be In Derm
They Might Be Giants announced this week that they’ll be playing Durham’s Carolina Theatre Friday, October 26th.
The last show I saw was at Raleigh’s now-defunct Ritz Theater. Must have been close to a decade ago. Anyhow, its worth a drive to Derm to see TMBG.
On a related note, I’m kicking myself for not seeing Elvis Costello last night. PTA meeting took priority. I was glad to see that Paul provided the setlist. Thanks, Paul!

Any day, you’re gonna throw it all away

Now hear you whine
how its coming in from all sides
you got it coming right in on you
this is what we should do

Squirrel Nut Zippers article
Tom Maxwell calls this article, a summary of the former band’s legal situation, “the most accurate Zippers article I’ve ever read.”
Since I’ve been blasted before for not knowing of which I blog, I provide the link as a small, squirrelly atonement.

Roxy Music
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say where they´re blowing
As free as the wind
And hopefully learning
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turning
