...randomness surrounding Guided by Voices, Robert Pollard, and other great indie rock bands; a quasi objective look at "my" sporting teams; the random horror film; plus other crap as we see fit...all with a Pittsburgh based feel.

A Bottle of Bucky

Not quite sure what that contains, but to celebrate the end of a LONG semester, perhaps a bottle of something is req'd this weekend. Here's a couple from Ted Leo's new album, Living With the Living, including the Bottle of Buckie tune:

I've given Living With the Living a few spins, and while it's grown a little on me, I must say it's a little weaker than his previous two LP's, Shake the Sheets and Hearts of Oak. A little more filler in the new one, including the annoying "Bomb.Repeat.Bomb" song. Still a nice listen overall.

Looks like Ted is doing the Euro tour thingy for the summer, but he is playing Lollapalooza in Chicago later this summer.

Off the subject kids: what a sporting weekend we've got on tap: Playoff hockey starting tonight with the Sabs / Rangers, Kentucky Derby on Saturday (1st mint julip's on me Dan-o!!), De La Hoya vs. Mayweather Saturday night, and Chelsea / Arsenal followed by Real Madrid / Sevilla on Sunday afternoon. Kick ASS!!
