The List - 4/23 thru 4/28

Oh it's time for the second edition of The List. You know...because the first one went so well.

The Good
Pistons up 2-0 on the Bucks.

The Bad
Year 2 of The B-Dawg calling me at least twice a night during each Piston playoff game. Wait at least until the Conference Finals, man!

The Ugly
The fact that we've started to refer to people who get too drunk, hug you, have to get way up in your face to talk to you and end up somehow getting puke on the floor as "B-Dawging it". I'm in no rush to send him a link to this.

The Horrifyingly Bizzare
My strange attraction to Ann Coulter. I don't get it either.

The Reasonably Cool
The Lemonheads sign to Vagrant Records, joining another seminal rocker in Paul Westerberg and a little band I kind of like known as The Hold Steady.

They are also now sharing a label with such vomit-inducing emo bands such as Dashboard Confessional, The New Amsterdams/Get-Up Kids, and once-upon-a-time Sixteenth Minute guilty pleasure-band Saves The Day. I'm still very sorry that I made J-Rob sit through that with me, although it was definitely worth it to see Grandaddy.

The Funny Thing
J-Rob's growing concern that he's become a recurring character on this blog. You're the only real person I talk about this stuff with, man!

The Very Cool
Wall of Sound revival music in the form of The Pipettes, The Carrots, and Detroit's own Saturday Looks Good To Me. Does this mean that The Raveonettes will be considered trendsetters if this sound really takes off?

The Most Disturbing Headline I saw on CNN.com
"Mom in coffin mix-up demands, 'I want my baby'"

Second Most Disturbing Headline I saw on CNN.com
"'Little Mermaid' baby making strides"

Scary Thought
Was one of those really more or less disturbing than the other?

Just Because
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
