The Super Mega Fest is happening this weekend in Framingham, MA. Out front is a DeLorean from Back to the Future. For a twenty buck donation to the Michael J. Fox foundation, you can sit in the car and get a Flux Capacitor pin. There isn’t enough space in the parking lot to get up to 88 mph and activate the Flux Capacitor. 😉
Pandora says that because I like Margo Guryan’s music, I should like Isobel Campbell too. And I do.
This CNN Alert came in today…
— Nancy Pelosi elected House minority leader by Democrats in a 150 to 43 vote.
… followed only a minute later by this one.
— Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, was unanimously selected as the Republican House leader for the incoming Congress.
I’m a Democrat, and I’m not a big fan of Nancy Pelosi, but if I were a member of the House I’d vote for her. Can’t Democrats ever be unanimous? Say what you will about the GOP, they know how to get their constituents to toe the party line.
Ah, vinyl records. A needle vibrating as it travels within an undulating groove. I’m looking forward to getting a new LP re-release I’ve ordered. Denro spotted this video from a Boston TV show, with a discussion on the past, present, and future of music on vinyl.
I know that a lot of people really like comedian Lewis Black, and when I see him he does make some good, if sometimes obvious, observations. Black is on The Daily Show right now, but I can take only so much of him, because his grating delivery reminds me of Gilford Godfrey, and it gets annoying very quickly.
Warning: This video shows an actual airport security screening, of a man having his groin checked.
