BJ, the Apple, & DCFC all agree that Elvis is King

I trust you all had a good Passover and Easter and the angel of death didn't kill your first born or if they did, they were raised from the dead on the third day.

The simplest game's most complicatied rule:

How often does somebody put that much explanation into a miskate, but not fix it? DC United was robbed (but in all fairness if I were a NY fan, I wouldn't have said that.) Plus, karma has a funny way working itself out. In DC United's second game against Chivas, the goats had two goals disallowed that possibly should have counted. DC won 2 to nothing. They also bothered to try explain why they were right this time.

BJ, the Apple, & DCFC all agree that Elvis is King.
This is almost close enough to go to if I weren't already seeing Elvis in Baltimore on the 22nd, and the conditions of my parole won't allow me in any building owned by Donald Trump. Who cares? This will eventually be aired on TV for my TiVo to capture anyway.

The Brawlier show will have the local symphony orchestra, not Death Cab For Cutie, Billie Joe Armstrong, & Fiona Apple.
I saw the Cyndi Lauper version of this and Shaggy was on it so I should have been consulted ahead of time.

pay tribute

I've never been as excited for a tribute album as this one, Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited. (As a matter of fact, I hate tribute albums as a rule, but yes, I still buy them.) Anyhow, Serge Gainsbourg is the French lounge noir guy. He wrote "Bonnie & Cylde" and sung it with Brigtte Bardot. He isn't putting out anything new 'cause he died 15 years ago, but his legacy lives on in the likes of some of the artists below.

1. Franz Ferdinand & Jane Birkin – A Song For Sorry Angel (Sorry Angel)
2. Cat Power & Karen Elson – I Love You (Me Either) (Je t’aime moi non plus)
3. Jarvis Cocker (of Pulp) & Kid Loco – I Just Came To Tell You That I’m Going (Je suis venu te dire que je m’en vais)
4. Portishead – Requiem For Anna (Un jour comme un autre – Anna)
5. Faultline, Brian Molko & Francoise Hardy – Requiem For A Jerk (Requiem pour un con)
6. Michael Stipe (of REM) – L’Hotel (L’hotel particulier)
7. Tricky – Au Revoir Emmanuelle (Goodbye Emmanuelle)
8. Marianne Faithfull & Sly and Robbie – Lola R. For Ever (Lola Rastaquouere)
9. Gonzales, Feist & Dani – Boomerang 2005 (Comme un boomerang)
10. Marc Almond (of Soft Cell) & Trash Palace – Boy Toy (I’m the Boy)
11. Placebo – The Ballad Of Melody Nelson (Ballade de Melody Nelson)
12. The Rakes – Just A Man With A Job (Le poinconneur des Lilas)
13. The Kills – I Call It Art (Le chanson de Slogan)
14. Carla Bruni – Those Little Things (Ces petits riens)

Of Note: There's a Placebo track and another track featuring Brian Molko. ("The Ballad Of Melody Nelson" was already released on the 2 disc version of "Sleeping With Ghosts" though.)
Also, of Note: Portishead's first new song in 8 years or so.
Lastly, of Note: Karen Elson is Jack White's wife. I knew she was a model, but I didn't know she could sing. She may not be able too, but this is fitting though since Serge surrounded himself with models who couldn't sing. I don't surround myself with models, because I hate pretty people. No, I'm not jealous.

At war with the mistakes

I shoulda thought of this:

I'd like to see the Strokes maybe. I love the Misfits, but the real Misfits died 20-some years ago. Yellowcard and Dashboard Confessional are just plain awful.

Now they have to win it again next year. They have no seniors on the team, and I doubt that any of them will jump ship early for a lucrative career in the WNBA.
