Cop Out

Sorry I'm being a Narc.

Learning CSS is a wee bit tougher, but we will all be better for it. In either case, a quick low down-

I am working. A lot.

Here are links to movies I have watched while I've been working the past few weeks.

Red Dawn
Amazon Women on The Moon <- I definately saw this on WPIX back in the day.
Insomnia < - Famous actors/actresses, bad movie. I can't wait till I do it for the money.
Wet Hot American Summer < - First saw this in Chinn's room


String Bell is on 'The Office.'

I picked MSU vs. UNC for my championship game.

Opening day is pretty soon, who will end up with a better record? O's or A's?

Cool band I saw open for the Handsome Furs.
Railcars.


Don't worry, I've been teaching ping-pong.

A good sign of things to come


Well, I think Spring is here. Not really, but at least there is light now when I leave work. Speaking of work, we just had our newest software release, and it is NARTSY. Be prepared. I know , I know, you're thinking I'm just gonna talk about it, but no, its true, there will be changes here at Shut Up and Dance!

Anyhow, after we had our 'pedal to metal' all hands Friday, I found this in our office supply of Goldfish. Miracle? or Marvel Of Modern Science?

I got my pre-production set-up and rolling, and started tracking some songs. We'll see what makes the cut, but except some pretty cool offers for you, my loyal reader.

Ok, I'm gonna see Monta Friday play the Mavs. Possibly check these guys out, and go to this Monday.

Also, Toshie Sagz will apparently be in town next week.

Its all happening

I just bought www.grogansocialscene.com. Expect this blog to move in the near future. And don't forget to "spring" your clocks forward this weekend.

I'm watching New Orleans slowly beat down on Dallas. CP3 is dirty. My co-worker Stan the Man wiped my computer clean yesterday, its awesome, but I don't have FoxyTunes any more.

This is some cool stuff.


Also, remember how good this album was? Too bad the old way of doing things is gone. A band like that couldn't break it that big in the new era of music.

The Dashboard Melted...

but we still had the radio. Those guys are awesome. I thought I had heard they would be playing here? but it looks like it got canceled. AC is though, and TVoTR. w00t!

Its also pretty crazy they are playing here. Kinda wish I was in B'more for this. Another thing I miss about B'more was driving around and listening to local radio stations. The two best were 89.7 WTMD,run outta Towson U, and 103.1 WRNR from 'Nap Town.


I recently invest in an alarm clock/radio player/iPod docking station thing-a-ma-jingie and have been taking full advantage of the radio. Top pick in SF is KPOO 89.5.

Hopkins vs. Princeton is this Saturday. We Want More!

These guys are releasing their new album as we speak. Eric was my guitar teacher when I was 18 and 19 and taught me a great deal about playing, and I'm looking forward to seeing all the guys Friday.

Everybody Waited (Nobody Came)

Special Encore- All Along the Watcher w/ Christopher Ward

Christopher Ward's band Basecamp will be playing the Rockit Room March 20. Info here.

Maxfield's said that was the most white wine they ever sold on a Friday. Thank you Ty Taylor!

I listened to "The Pains of Being Pure At Heart." Kinda sounds like "Loveless." The new rock is this band from West Virgina called 'The Demon Beat.' I saw them at the Ottobar back in the day(Fall 2007), and I think they were in high school. Contact for the hookup on both these albums.
