strange victory update....

I provided some of DCB's notes here...the other day Pitchfork had a link to an MP3...I'm guessing by August of 2009 there is an indie rock band named Handsome Grandsons.

JAMES WOOD ON RICHARD PRICE

Forgot to link to this a while ago. Maybe you've already seen it.

Similarly, two policemen, who are threatening a suspect with jail time, bait him by telling him that he won’t get to be a father to his new baby: “Gonna be calling some other guy Daddy. . . . You’ll be Uncle Plexiglas.” That last phrase does what metaphor should do: it acts as a fiction inside the larger fiction, speeding us toward the instant imagining of something (and wittily, too).

PARCELLS MAD AT JASON TAYLOR

Just because the damn guy wanted to dance. It's a big distraction! The Dolphins need to focus. Just like Parcells did when he was in New England. It couldn't have taken that much time away from the Pats to film this gem, right?

I was ready to hang it up at about 35. And I did. But I came back five or so years later. I needed six years off from facing an audience. I remember one show specifically, some college, and the applause stopped before I could even make it to the wings. I told myself, I've got to get the hell out of here. Nobody can miss you unless you go away. That's how it starts when you're a little baby band - you have no real applause. You get past the boos and jeers and bottles, then get to the point where the applause was so thunderous...it'd get to the point where we had given two encores and were in the dressing room, with Chris putting his hands over his ears, shouting, "tell the fuckers to go away!" Sure enough, they did.

This is why you need to read all comments sections all the time...

You can't make this shit up. Bravo.

I have totally dated this guy! When I was 17- he was 23 and told me on our first date that he had planned on killing himself, but was not going to now because he had met me, and he and I were soulmates! And then he gave me a hickey on my forehead!

WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

In 2007, it was reported that War Emblem has rejected nearly every mare presented to him for mating.

AND: He is isolated from the other studs at Shadai Stallion Station in the hope that he will feel safe and more confident in his sexuality.

ALSO: I miss him and I love him. Great horse. Perhaps, for me at least, the most exciting Triple Crown, er, attempt, until this year. (Yeah, Smarty Jones was great, ok, ok)
