Your “What A Load Of Garbage” Friday Evening Open Thread

I love music.  All types of music.  I sometimes get made fun of for it for what I have come to call my “eclectic” tastes in music.

Most other people just say my taste in music sucks sometimes.  And maybe that’s true.  Meh.

I especially admire good drummers.  I could watch a good drummer for hours, and sometimes even barely hear the rest of the music.

Back during the holidays, the girl formerly known as tWLS and I went to a holiday concert.  Her brother plays bass for the band who was performing, which is the only reason we went to begin with.  But the drummer was really good.  I was supposed to be there with her, for her, and to also be taking pictures of her brother and the rest of the family which was there in attendance.  Which I did.

But for a little while, I realized I was mesmerized by this drummer.  He was obviously very good, but due to the nature of the concert and the types of songs being played (Christmas Carols mostly) he was bored off his ass.  I had to giggle a little bit and then I thought….DUDE JUST GO INTO A BADASS DRUM SOLO AND FUCK ‘EM!!!!

He didn’t.

I am also a drummer, but not a very good one.  And particularly worse now because of nerve damage in my left arm and hand.  But I still sit behind my drum kit now and again just for the fun of it.  But I can’t do it very well or for very long these days.

Anywhoooooo….

One of my favourite drummers is Butch Vig.  He’s the drummer for Garbage.  They also happen to be one of my favourite bands overall, so that works out well.

Even now in his 60s, he’s a very good drummer.  But he’s more than that.  He’s actually also one of the best and most respected record producers of our era, producing acts such as Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins, among others.

But regarding this post….?  The problem is that I don’t find Butch Vig attractive in “that way” (no offense Butch).  And this IS Sexy Friday after all soooooo….

It’s SHIRLEY MANSON WEEK   Evahbodeh!!!!!!!

52 years old now and still hot as hell.  The pink hair is a nice touch as well.

Hubba hubba.

And look at the bright side….at least it isn’t CHARLES or MARILYN!!!!!!

Sports Which Will Make You Want To Take Out The Trash 2Nite

NHL

  • Nashville @ Pittsburgh – 7:00pmEDT – TV: NHLN

Full Schedule

NBA

  • Indiana @ Boston – 7:00pmEDT – TV: NBATV

Full Schedule

NCAA Tournament

(3)LSU (+6, +270)  v (2)Michigan State – 7:09pmEDT – TV: CBS

  • I still say Sparty is due to lay an egg.  Might drop some coin on this one.

(5)Auburn (+5.5, +220) v (1)U*NC – 7:29pmEDT – TV: TBS

  • Stay away from this one.  I promise you the officials will not allow Auburn to win this game or stay within even 10 probably.

(4)Virginia Tech (+7.5, +345)  v (1)Duke – 9:39pmEDT – TV: CBS

  • See above.  Sorry VT, you had a good run but you’re not going knock ’em off twice.  Especially not with Zion back in the fold.

(3)Houston (+2.5, +150) v (2)Kentucky – 9:59pmEDT – TV: TBS

  • Hmmmmmmm….now that is tempting.

Oh dear lord, I think it’s time to stop.  Or start, depending upon how one looks at it.

(I’ll be right back)

Have a nice weekend, everyone.

Love ya’s.

Watching Doom Patrol on DC Universe, and all I’m thinking is “Damn. These people are wasted the best acting of their lives on this show!”

Wakezilla

So, based on how my last 4 hockey pools have gone (second place finishes), I think I have pissed off the Fantasy God’s. How do I get back into their good grace so I can go back to winning?

You don’t still have all your teeth, do you? You know how they get about that…

Brocky

Don’t write a weekly story about how they’ve fucked you over?

Correction: the Devils player is Miles Wood, not Smallwood. We regret this mistake.
/They also have a Blackwood, if you’re in to that.
//Not Blackmore, unfortunately

Today I learned what pommeau is, and that I like it which made sense because I had that Angry Orchard Ice Man (even though it had started to turn). How’s things?

Pommeau played safety fer da Stillers!

When that UNC coach was being interviewed, i legit was expecting a kid to come in and hit his head with an egg

Alright, one down, with U*NC out. I’ll be damned, but, here I am, rooting for Virginia Tech again.

“UConn should be in the Big East@NoEscalators

I call Auburn’s offense a term paper becauase UNC’s basketball team did not do anything to prepare for it.”

Holy shit, that is sublime.

I know I’m getting old because as soon as I stopped laughing, the first thing I thought to myself was, “I sure hope that woman knows how to bump”

Oh, I think it’s one of the worst songs ever recorded. Just imagined the subject of the song being UNC fans.

Are you the stork: ie you should have the advantage but you don’t?

Are you the frog: youre not going down without a fight?

Or are you the cattails?: life is passing you by. and if you disappeared tomorrow, hardly anyone would notice?

Yes

You ever have a really long week at work, finish up everything you need to do, including walking the dog for 45 minutes, then crack open your first beer and drain half of it in one gulp, pause, look at the can, and realize that you just shotgunned half a pint of an 8.9% double IPA and that that’s why your wife is crying?

Since the NHL does such a good job meting out suspensions and fines, they should establish an Office of Effort to subjectively increase or decrease a team’s lottery odds based on how they play late in the season.

Everytim I look at this game some LSU guy is making a play and making the defense look foolish, but they’re still down by 10

Izzo is a fantastic in-game coach. If he has the horses he’ll win most of the time.
