Another week comes to pass and I am a mere two weeks away from heading out west for some snowboarding. I am gonna try to make this weekly Americana(ish) web round-up a regular thing. Is anyone out there reading them? Anyhow, outside of music I have a few things I'm thinking about…
First, what the hell was Radhika thinking on Top Chef this week? The leader of the losing restaurant always gets eliminated in Restaurant Wars. She should have thrown the quickfire.
Second, the Rays went to the World Series, a black man is our president and the Arizona Cardinals are in the Superbowl. I dunno about you, but I spent this week looking up girls from highschool. Hell has obviously frozen over and it's time for them to make good on some promises.
And finally, is there anything on earth better than VH1 reality TV? I had long thought Rock of Love was god's gift to us but then they go and one up themselves with Tool Academy. Thank you, VH1, for giving my Sunday's without football meaning again.
Okay, enough TV talk … on with the music:
