Hall of Sound

First of all, I must say, I am not a Dave Matthews Band fan. I will admit, about 10 years ago (God, I feel old), I was. Yes, I used to stare at my cassette of "Remember Two Things" trying to make out that stoner pixelated photo, and much to my chagrin, I was only able to see it like, once. Nevertheless, I wisened up, and now their music makes me want to plunge a screwdriver into my ear canal. Living in Virginia for 10 years will do that to you.

Anyway, the reason I mention this is because while I'm not a fan of their music, I do respect Dave Matthews (the guy) for using his position as an influential celebrity and being outspoken about many causes which I too feel are important -- mainly politics and the environment. That's why I find it so hard to believe that his tour bus dumped 800 pounds of the doo-doo browns onto some innocent Chicagoans.

I'm sorry the sh*t storm happened. That couldn't be any fun, but come on. The man has supported Farm Aid, the Amazon Rain Forest, over 20 environmental groups -- including American Rivers, The Ocean Conservancy and the freaking Clean Virginia Waterways, plus I'm pretty sure he even lives in a tree house on mountain in Seattle or something like that. Surely the drive-by bunz bomb was either an accident or executed by a DMB lookalike. I'm sure amongst the DMB fans, conspiracy theories will abound. But man, you guys sure have some other views: Dave Matthews Band

Next, check out the trailer for Wes Anderson's upcoming film, 'The Life Aquatic.' It basically looks like the B-Side to 'The Royal Tannenbaums,' minus Gwyns. Whatever. I'm there.

Lastly, I STILL haven't seen 'Garden State,' which I can't believe, but furthermore, I'm even more ashamed that I haven't picked up the soundtrack yet.  Hi, it's got not one but two Shins tracks. AND one of my mostfavoritest Simon & Garfunkel tracks, "The Only Living Boy In New York."  I weep!
