a couple quick things
1) due to my recent road trip, i have updated the ballparks page at cadeland. check it out. (and thanks b, for going with in chicago.) check back, 'cause there will be another one to see after my trip to san diego next week.
AND
2) the retro-style indie movement (think the killers and franz ferdinand) backlash in music has officially begun. if you haven't heard "statue" by low millions...it's the worst song ever written. not only does it sound like someone ate the goo goo dolls and matchbox 20 and then puked them into a bag of feces, but the lyrics are equally awful.
read the horribleness here.
that's right, he rhymes the word "statue" with gems like "about you" and "cats do." and let's not forget how wonderful it is to say something like "talk to myself like the crazies do." also, the imagery is terrible. for example:
"it’s raining like the clouds all decided to cry."
die already.
this is the worst thing since train's unforgivable "drops of jupiter" in 2001. so i guess that means this turd will win album of the year at the grammys as well. i hate popular music.
at the very least, gwen stefani's train wreck "holla back girl" is no longer stuck in my brain.
that's probably all for now.

"die already." You're killing me over here, Cade.
I haven't gotten Gwen out of my head for approximately six weeks, four days, and seven hours. Grrrr.
...i'm just glad i'm not the only one who dislikes "drops of jupiter".
Questions: (concerning ballparks)
1. When Busch is built next year, are you required to visit it again for your stadium quest?
2. If you are required to go can I accompany you?
3. If I'm allowed to go, can we play the facial expression game with my camera inbetween innings??
becky-
1) of course i have to go to the new one. everytime a park i've been to closes...i am forced to step back in my quest. so i must re-step forward with each new one.
2) yes.
3) no.
Dude, so with all of you on the train thing.
Drops of Jupiter is the "gayest monster since gay came to gaytown."
Freakin' hate Train...
no joke.
incidentally, tell brooke that THIS was the song i was talking about when she took me to the airport last week.
somehow i knew you'd say that. ;)
Becky, I'll play with you some day. Cade's a grump, man.
Oh don't worry, Cade is going to play I just might have to be sneaky about it...
If you keep yelling "annoyed" and "pissed off" i think he'll play along just fine...
art, you read my mind! :)
cade,
i don't know why you're getting all the bad press. anyone with half a brain knows that i'm twice the disgruntled, pissed off little pessimist than you are.
well then gentry, if you happen to be sitting next to Cade, you can join in on the festivities too.
you listed Coors Field as one of the major league ballparks you've visited, but I think you're going to have to remove it because the team playing there now is a AA team
I love this string of comments the most, friends.
I hate Train more than the worst soy latte that I've ever had. And if you got that joke, you've heard the song as much as I have, which is way too much.
gentry-I think I can beat you on the disgruntled pissed off pessimist thing. I tend to look at life as a glass of water half empty with a hole in the bottom of the glass.
What the hell is a holla back girl? Can anyone tell me?
I hate Train too-that whiny simpering voice has to go. Matchbox 20 too. Music just sucks mostly these days.
I've been asking myself, does music today just suck or am I just getting old...HOLD ON TIGHT to the idea that music just sucks...I am.
muffin
banana yannas for sure.
Yeah, I wondered the same thing, Muffin. Am I getting old or does music just sucks. Then I remember 50 Cent's "It's gettin so hot in here, I'm gonna take my clothes off" being played at weddings. And the Black Eyed Peas: "Get started, get stupid" lyrics and then I'm okay again.
Cade-Sci Fi channel is picking up Firefly and showing all the episodes starting in July. And they are making a movie of it too.
Cade said, "at the very least, gwen stefani's train wreck "holla back girl" is no longer stuck in my brain."
Have you forgotten the one, true method for getting a song out of your head? I'm ashamed of you.
I had to pull out "Theme to Diff'rent Strokes" after riding 'It's a small world after all' at Disneyland just a couple of weeks ago.
(sorry for the insider story folks, but cade will understand. I'm sure it will be a post someday)
I caught it! And Dave . . . it is damn good to hear from you. On behalf of Cade (in his temporary absence) and the community of folk, please drop by anytime.
umm, unrelated to your post...
i can't believe you have pams blog on your links list.
we talked about this didn't we?
you move to boston and everything goes down hill
Thanks James.
I've lurked here and on your blogspot for a while...just never posted.
I'll try to make it a more common occurance.
geesh. i leave town for one lousy day and people start caring about this place? i guess that's cool.
where to begin:
the obvious, just dave- welcome. and no worries. i still sell the "diff'rent strokes" remedy like gold. in fact i was just telling some folks about it last night. it is a miracle. now, start a blog.
fletch- i'm just trying to help out a friend who is struggling to make it in the business, you know?
james the girl- i judge not. i normally love gwen. but high-school-drum-line-chic should NEVER be considered an option in music or in life in general. never.
before girl- firefly. nice. i will certainly check it out. thanks for the tip.
on music sucking vs. oldness- music sucks. there has always been some good to offset the masses of awful (with the exception of '99-'01, when there was nothing good) i like a lot of the new stuff, just not poorly crafted songs or "new" stuff that sounds like old stuff that never should have been made in the first place.
everyone else- train does, has and will always suck.
