C-Man

First new The The album in nearly 25 years came out this week. Man, I loved these guys back in the day. The back end sounds very Nina Simone-y smooth jazzy on first listen. The first batch of songs sound like Matt’s more mellowed-out The The. Will give it more time soon.

Woof.

Hmm, this is interesting. My wife was asking if we could do something on Friday night because she's ducking a GF's birthday dinner with their friends. We were thinking of hitting Barley and then walking over to the HP-Jesuit game at Ford Stadium but this could be cool. She threw out Mitski but I don't feel like dropping $150+ on tickets and dranks for somebody we've seen before that I'm not super interested in anyways. As far as shows coming up, it's been pretty quiet for us since early summer. Things are about to start picking back up. We've got Goth Babe in Las Colinas in September and then we're sneaking out to SLC to hang with our new-found Kilby friends for the War on Drugs/National co-headline show there at the end of this month. Then we've got Rainbow Kitten Surprise in November, I think. I'm hoping my wife is planning a getaway to LA for the LCD show that falls on my birthday so we can both say we hit LCD live shows on our birthdays this year. That would be pretty damn cool!

And he doesn't want Bret Baier or Martha MacAllum to moderate because he doesn't think the "praised him enough" after last night's performance. Meanwhile, he thought Jesse Watters was "fantastic" and would love him, Hannity or Ingraham instead.

CNN.com had a tally of 33+ lies/mistruths for Trump and 1+ for Kamala. I think ABC moderators fact-checked him in real time three fucking times. Three. https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/10/politics/fact-check-debate-trump-harris/index.html

Could be. I made a super fast tally of these numbers from Drudge: Well, my quick math was bad. Looks like it's 56M+ here

Reports are that 50M viewed last night's debate on various channels

Yeah, he fumbled (go figure) his words. He meant "put out" by her camp that she was black now after not considering herself "black" previously.

Well, Trump's Boeing was built when that company still made quality airplanes so ...

Who is that penis on the right? He was on Bill Maher this past weekend and said some really stupid shit.

The orange dipshit wanted the mics to be open the entire time. His team OTOH fought for them to be muted. Pretty sure the Harris/Walz team knew that was coming but, hey, it was definitely a fun moment for the rest of us. Had no idea the weird, skinny kid from Road Trip had slid into the MAGA Sarlacc pit.

This is the end, Beautiful friend, This is the end, My only friend, the end Lost in a(n) Roman alt-right wilderness of pain, And all the children MAGA are insane, All the children MAGA are insane, Waiting for the summer covfefe rain, yeah

Trump is in the Spin Room himself

Rachel Maddow just read Taylor Swift has endorsed Kamala and Walz
