I've got 99 posts...

I was going to call this post WJLC in honor of the fact that I've been enjoying using my ipod as my own little radio station of late.

In the WJLC post I was going to share some happy songs from this morning's drive-time play list including:

Death in the Park (by Archers of Loaf)
Collide the Tide (by Chin Up Chin Up)
My Name is Jonas (by Weezer)
Fisherman's Blues (by The Waterboys)
and as a bonus... a song that I found last night on a CMJ New Music Monthly sampler and is great, even if I didn't listen to it on this morning's drive:
Escape from New York (by Chris Mills)

After finding this happy song on a CMJ sampler last night I searched around for some other good Chris Mills songs, as I had never really known much about the guy, and I also downloaded and am enjoying, "You are my favorite song." One of the reviews I read compared the guy to Ben Folds, and while I can see it, maybe, the comparison is only so-so. They've both got the melodic singer-songwriter shtick down, but the horns, etc. and the vocal quality of Mills is a little something different. Perhaps something like the Decemberists or... maybe The Pernice Brothers. I recommend checking him out.

Meanwhile, here it is... my 99th post. Tomorrow my blog turns 100... posts old!?!? wow, that's a relatively lame thing to even comment on. I guess if you're here regularly you're accustomed to my lame commentary.

Speaking of lame, I post this on the very day of President Bush's lame-o state of the Onion speech. What can I say on this momentous occasion?? Well, for starters, what does anybody expect out of this evening?

I, for one, am happy to see some of the enviro-stuff that's swirling around the emergence of newfound Democratic power in Washington. I don't care if Bush is going to try and co-opt some of the credit by talking it up tonight, it's about time for any and all of this (+ more)!

Otherwise, I can't say I'm really expecting anything, except hopefully a rockin' response from Jim Webb. He seems to be a pretty interesting character, and a pretty great choice for the response speech, so if anything I'm hoping that he delivers something worth listening to. Ideally, he'll deliver a speech worth pinning some hope for the next two years on.

All-in-all, I'm pretty excited to get home and do a little reading this evening, have some mashed sweet potatoes (I cooked/mashed them up last night!!!) & other tasty treats, and call it a day. I'm looking forward to the drive home with WJLC, hopefully I'll have more good play-list entries to share tomorrow. Until then, buenas nachos everyone.
