I'll Show You How I Re-write the Good Ones

I have a Bob Mould bootleg where he plays "Chartered Trips" and "These Important Years" back to back.  In between he says "now I'll show you how I rewrite the good ones."  Anyway, Bob is streaming his new album on his myspace, and there is a track called "Miniature Parade" and I am trying to figure out where I've heard the opening riff before.  It sounds like a Sugar track on File Under:Easy Listening but I cannot place it.  It might also be from "Last Dog and Pony Show."

I Got Round Three Off So I Might As Well Blog

I am at the Barkeley Forum tournament in Atlanta, Georgia right now.  I have round three off, so I figured that I might as well blog.

This tournament is using "mutual judge preference", which means that since I judged two Valley teams yesterday, and a Highland Park team, the number of rounds I can judge has been exhausted.  My guess is I might get a round 5 or 6 but since I am probably not highly preferred I am in for a long day.

For those of you who are not on facebook, or don't talk to us regularly, we have some good news.  Meg is pregnant and is due in April.  We are going to have a boy whose name, most likely, is going to be Daniel.

That is Daniel, in his pre-ambient baby stage.
