Late Dec check in

Been off since 12/23. Relaxing and letting the holidaze wind down. I have been reading alot, listening to a lot of music and killing off a fair amount of beer.

Latest book report, more on the way.

MikePod:

Bangles: "All Over The Place" I saw the cuties @ my first concert, 1986 Il. State Fair. Mr. Mister was the head liner.
Beatles: "Xmas Album" boot, a compilation of their 1963-1969 fan club holiday messages.
Nine Inch Nails: "Pretty Hate Machine"
Rolling Stones: "Emotional Rescue" I think these guys phones this one in. In fact, most of their post 1974 output has been phone in. I would love to see their long distance bills.

Crappy Holidaze

Consuming a lot of beer lately. In fact here's a couple of beer reviews.I am keeping the intellectual firepower going by finishing 2 more books I also can't stop watching Sabado Gigante. Miss Santita this week. I think that means hot chicks in gold lame bikinis.

It really does not take much to entertain me. Check out People of Walmart, chronicling the Humanutty of discount shoppers. Food Network humor. Who would have thought one could find humor in the Food Network. Any website that bashes Guy Fieri is OK w/me. Coming soon: MikePod update. Hey, I had lunch with some coworkers @
Tutto Italiano
downtown. The all female bar maidens looked like strippers. One girl had an Xmas inspired top that had so much cleavage I could have built a house there.

Broadcasting in Stereo-Type

Had a cold over the weekend. Still have it. Would you like it? I don't need it anymore, ha ha! Anyway, while I was waiting to take some meds, the new MTV series "Jersey Shore" came on. No, this is not about Paulie's family (who I actually met once on a work related function), rather it is about 8 bone headed 20 somethings who all happen to be Italian and sharing a home on the shore for the "summah." Don't worry, this show fits into the fine MTV tradition of informing and educating viewers.... about how to be self centered, loud, obnoxious and drunk a good deal of the time. I feel better about myself after seeing this show because I am that way only on the weekends! If Al-Queda watches this, they will plan future US attacks when these people come of age. I have no faith in the youth of today. Time for more NyQuil.

Reviewed another beer Finished another book

MikePod:
Lord Sutch & Heavy Friends: "Heavy Friends" Features Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Jeff Beck, Noel Redding and the worst vocalist this side of the fat, drunk, middle aged white guy who sings Motown songs @weddings.

Mississippi Fred McDowell: "I Don't Play No Rock N Roll" He plays a natchel blues, unnerstan?

Morrissey: "Maladjusted" (I used to call myself this when I did radio in college)Came out in 1994. I missed it then, but picked up the 2009 remaster and the sound is great and ole Moz rocked on this one.
