and since i can’t find a shleppy ecard to fit the situation, i’m just gonna post pictures of them drunk.

Hardly any point in trying to add to Philip Sherberne’s excellent analysis of Jamie Liddell’s Jim - Sherberne has stuff to say about Liddell’s growth as an artist, but I didn’t get to know Liddell until December of ‘06, when I saw him play a set in Tasmania, of all places: I was completely knocked over by his visible, audible, palpable love for his music & the making of it & the communal experience made possible by it. My inconsequential two cents’ worth, for what they’re worth: one thing pop music is good for is remembering that somewhere inside us is the potential for unvanquishable joy: clearing a space for that remembering, broadening that space. Jamie Liddell’s present project seems to be focused on illuminating that joy-containing space, hanging signs that point toward it. Consequently, the album-opener, “Another Day,” is absolutely the most perfect song for putting on first thing in the morning that I have heard in ages: that piano! that melody! (I should probably confess that “Mouth Breather” by the Jesus Lizard also strikes me as a fabulous wake-up number, but don’t let that give you the wrong idea.) The rest of the album is as good. It went directly to the year’s-best list. Nobody who wants or needs the affirmation of goodness that great pop music can sometimes give should put off hearing this record for long.

a few people have asked about the wii tournaments i’ll be hosting at bull mccabe’s. here are the details:

PLACE: Bull McCabe’s Irish Pub
427 West Main Street
Durham, NC 27701
(Need directions?)

TIME: Sundays, 9 PM , starting THIS SUNDAY, May 4th. Note that once the tournament starts, we can’t add players, so be on time.

THE DEAL: The tournaments will be Swiss system tournaments, with each pair playing a different game on the Wii Sports disk. The Tournament won’t use golf, due to time constraints, and we’re not sure about boxing just yet. Tennis will be a 3 game match. Baseball will be 3 innings, and bowling will be 3 frames. The pairings and final rankings will be managed by tournament software. You can bring your own wii remote if you want, but please try to get there early if you do, so we can get it registered to the console.

THE PRIZES: I believe these will be the same as trivia night (50 bucks for first, 25 bucks for second) but this may change. UPDATE: The prizes will be 25 bucks for first and either 15 or 10 for second…sorry to get anyone excited.

Dear Sir and Madam,

While I appreciate your fervor and passion for Durham Bulls baseball, in the future, when you are calling out to a player asking him to throw you his freshly caught ball, please make sure that you call him by the correct name. Fernando Perez is NOT Joel Guzman.

For your reference, this is Fernando Perez:

and this is Joel Guzman

Sincerely,
The intended recipient of Fernando’s caught ball, who swears he isn’t bitter.
