Golden Retriever - Super Furry Animals
Ever hear of SFA? They sand some of their early albums in Welsh. A little weird, but rocking, this song kicks golden booty.

Untitled - Social Distortion
I first heard this song at Rossi’s back in 2007. Rossi’s is the best dive bar in downtown Chicago. As soon as I heard the chords, I was struck by how great the lyrics and song were. Social Distortion has been around forever - I remember seeing them on television in the 80’s. When the song came on, I thought - ‘Yeah! Social Distortion!’
I just got around buying the song recently. The lyrics speak to me -can’t listen to it enough lately.

Twenty-five years later, I’m still married – none of my kids have been busted for drug possession. Can Al and Tipper Gore say the same thing?
Dee Snider
Good point. Is it just me, or does the way this unfolded also cast doubt on Al’s global warming crusade.

Frog & Nick Sobotka Plan Drug Sales
Watching The Wire with my wife has become the highlight of some of my weeks. Every episode has a breakout moment, with an amazing speech from an unexpected character. This week it was Frog and Nick Sobotka.

My father-in-law gave me a book of rejected cartoons for Christmas. This Tumblr blog is equally as funny.

A Pillar of Salt - The Thermals
My foodie brother-in-law sent me this excellent video that shows 24 hours at one of the world’s best restaurants, Alinea. I didn’t expect the accompanying song to be so great. Who are the Thermals, and why have I never heard of these guys before?
