Random randomness while I'm trying to get destressed and unscattered...
One of my current fave tasty beverages is the Brown Ale from Duck-Rabbit. And I'm pretty sure they're the only microbrewery whose name references Wittgenstein.
Just got the new Trans-Global Underground CD, Impossible Broadcasting, at XDU. It kicks major ass. TGU may not have invented ethnotechno (or world fusion or whatever-the-hell-you-wanna-call-it) but they were definitely present at the creation. And they do it just about as well as it needs to be done. Stomping all over the map and back, with guests this time including Trio Bulgarka and Tata Pound. Do yrself a favor and check it out.
Finally, Phil mentioned this little gem over at Minty's blog (and yes, I think that's the most links I've ever gotten into one sentence). But in case you missed it there, here it is again. It's sacrelicious good fun!

There's so much to love about that pope bracket, chief among them being "Sweet Sistene" and the fact that Duke is on it as a 4 seed. The only thing it's missing is a reference to "Papal April."
