So far so good...

Well, my San Antonio Spurs have knocked off the Suns once again and are looking ahead to the Hornets. That should be a good series, but of course the one we all look forward to is a repeat of Lakers V Spurs, and I am confident the Champs can pull it off once again. Lets keep rolling and see what happens. As my good friend Mike Bendele once told me....God Loves The Spurs!! Hell, I could care less who loves them, lets just get a win!!

Wow, if this is boring basketball......

The Spurs dominate the Suns to take a 3-0 series lead. It seems almost every article I read mentions how boring Spurs basketball is. Well if last night's game was boring, I'll take it every time. Here's an article from the Express News in S.A.

Spurs Win in Double OT!!!!!

Well, my San Antonio Spurs pulled out a great win in game one over the Suns with help from all the regular suspects. Finley dropped a three pointer to send the game into it's first OT and them Tim Duncan pulled out some heroics with a timely three pointer that took them to the second overtime. Wow...when was the last time you saw Timmy drain a three?! Then Manu took it right to the hoop for a tasty layup with less than two seconds left that gave the Champs the lead and eventually the win. I was pacing back and forth for most of the second half. That's what I call a game! If this is what we are to expect in this series, than this may be better than the finals! Go Spurs!!

Remember my post about Lonestar Vs. PBR?

I think I've decided I like me some Pabst at the moment. I think my little angel likes it too!

Magnolia Electric Co....

Damnit....part deaux!

Fucking Spurs have done it to me again. Big game against the Lakers and they lose another one. In their defense, they were down some key players but.....come on Champs...lets finish a fucking game.....Please!!

Damnit!!!!!

Well, the Spurs crapped their pants last night against the Suns. Shaq played well and Nash was...well Nash. The Champs looked pretty good in the first half with Tony Longoria and Timmy both lighting up the boards. I had high hopes, even as the first half was ending in a tie. No such luck...the second half found the Spurs floundering and the Suns shining as they took over and won by a pretty large margin. Oh well...my boys better get their shit together and finish a few games down the stretch. Of course we know they will, but Damnit!!!

And the winner is....

Wow, what a game. I really thought Memphis was going to win this one. They played so well and had a pretty good lead with two minutes to go, but the Jayhawks just kept coming. Of course Memphis didn't help their own cause by missing 4 free throws, and that "three pointer" being reviewed and changed to a deuce just made it too much to overcome. The game went into OT, and that's where the better team just made the plays that counted when they needed to. Still, what a great game. I'm not even a huge college hoops fan, but it made a believer out of me. Next year I may even get involved with all you "bracketologists". I'm still more of an NBA fan than anything else though....so.....GO SPURS!!

Hanging Tough? Really......Really?

I guess the world is about to come to an end, or wait, is that a pig flying by...hell freezing over? Ok, you get the idea. The fucking New Kids On The Block have reunited. I am sure this is good news to someone, I just can't imagine who. Maybe some bored housewife reared on NKOTB and Wham, or maybe Duran Duran....who knows, but this is somehow very disturbing to me. I'll be really disturbed if these shows sell at all....or maybe not. Look what crap gets played on the radio these days when other, way more talented bands still have to keep their shitty day jobs. Anyway, don't get me started. Follow the link for more info............actually.....please, please don't.

Oh....My....God Magnum!!!

These words were spoken quite a few times by Higgens in what was once my favorite TV show of the 80's......the great Magnum P.I. Well, I've been following this story for several years, and it seems that the much talked about big screen version of that 80's hit is finally getting off the ground. After reading numerous reports concerning who would play the mustache man in the Hawaiian shirt, it seems the part was offered to none other than Matthew McConafuck. The first folks talked about were Clooney and Affleck, then Nick Cage, and there was even a chance that good old Tom Selleck might reprise his famous role, but no more. It was officially offered to the no shirt wearing, naked bongo playing, midnight toker himself. I guess it could be worse, and who knows, he might just nail it. My only hope is that is isn't given the Starskey and Hutch treatment. That was just pathetic. Of course the script was written by the man who wrote Dodge Ball......so I guess I'm screwed. Who cares you say? Well I do and so do all the other folks my age who watched this show with excitement each week. Hell, I even bought a Hawaiian shirt or two....if only I could have grown a mustache like that at 12. Who am I kidding, I can't grow one like that at 37! Now there is only the question of who will play Rick, TC, and Higgy Baby. I can't wait to find out.....or maybe, I can. Shit!

I guess I spoke too soon....

Ok, so Dallas tricked all of us Spurs fans...well at least they tricked me. I had just finished reading an article on Yahoo Sports, or ESPN, or some othere damn thing and it stated that Dirk was not playing in last night's game. Not even close....he played and though a bit tentative at times, he scored 18 points. Damn you dirty dogs! Still, the road to the championship goes through San Antonio, and I can't think of anyone that can win a seven game series against the Champs....at least I don't think so. As with any sport, anything can happen. Go Spurs!!

YESSSSS!!!!!!

Too bad for the boys in "Big D".

Justin Townes Earle Live Show.....

Here is a link to a bit torrent download of a show from March. Justin Townes Earle is the son of Steve Earle, and his album The Good Life just dropped from Bloodshot Records. Part old school country.....like really old school, and part folk, part soul....he's all over the map, but very good. I'll let y'all decide. If you can't download this, you need to get a bit torrent client, like Azureus, and a Flac converter. Both are user friendly and it's great to be able to download cool bootlegs like this one. If not, just drop me a comment and I'll burn one for you.

Blast from the past....

Here is a link to an early Son Volt show from 1996. I have yet to give it a listen as it is downloading right now, it looks good. Man I love me some early Son Volt....I like the "new band" as well, but nothing like the old stuff.

Matthew Ryan and The Silver State

Here is a cool clip from Youtube featuring singer songwriter Matthew Ryan. This guy's been around for quite awhile, and has garnered some critical praise, but no big success. Lets hope his new record changes all that. This song is a solo acoustic number, and it just kills. Check out the great lyrics. His new album features a full band on many of the songs, something different for Ryan. I've also included a clip with the band backing him up. His most recent outings have been mostly solo acoustic affairs. As much as I love the first clip, I can't wait to hear the whole record with the band backing him up. I'll have a review once I purchase the disc and give it a few listens. Using his back catalogue as a reference point, I'd recommend just picking up the disc without sampling it. Take it home, give it a spin, and let the music take you for a ride.
