there is nothing to see here

Just got back from Michigan, where I ate my way through about four towns and drank my way through at LEAST four college bars, including Kalamazoo's PREMIERE dueling piano bar, Monaco Bay, which is about 100 percent less fear-inducing than my favorite dueling piano bar, Crocodile Rocks, in Norfolk, though both are extremely smoky, and players at both have taken requests for Ben Folds Five songs in between sets consisting primarily of Elton John, J. Geils Band, Charlie Daniels Band and Steve Miller Band requests.

You know you love it. You do.

* Finally, The Minor Fall, the Major Lift on the inane ubiquity of those little white earbuds that grow out of ipods:

"The white iPod headphones (which of course have a potent murketing function) are actually so prevalent as to be oppressive, and get more so every day. Some rival MP3 player maker ought to do a new version of Apple’s famous 1984 ad, this time with the drones all sporting white headphones as the evil taskmaster brainwashes them -- 'We have created … a garden of pure ideology. … Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause.' When the lone rebel hurls a hammer, it would smash a giant iPod. But I guess inductees to the iPod army (the iPuds?) are all happy to belong: I’ve read that white headphone wearers on the streets of Manhattan nod at each other in solidarity, like members of a tribe or a secret society. Or a 'brand community.'"

Word. That think-alike lemming shit is not tight.
