Although she’s been doing fine work for some time, Jennifer Nettles is new to me. The official Vevo version is too sugar-frosted marzipan for my tastes, but I’ve had her new song as an earworm for the past couple days…

Mine has been “Royals” by 16 year old Lorde. Catchy little number.
Linky.

My earworm yesterday and today has been Yo La Tengo’s cover of The Scene Is Now’s Yellow Sarong.
Which is a pretty great song to get stuck in your head, as opposed to the saccharine crap that usually gets so annoyingly stuck there.
(Seriously, people, click on the link. It’s only 1 & 3/4 minutes long.)

Here’s one I like Sublime.

I dunno if Yutsie saw it, but our Cougs put on the sort of fourth quarter collapse that nearly defies the laws of football physics. 35 points in like ten minutes of gametime. I imagine it’ll be a preview of the annual drubbing from the Flying Highlighters next week. It’s been a long decade for WSU fans.

Back in the 1600s and into the 1700s, they didn’t use the phrase ear worm. Instead they called them maggots. Same idea, different word.

@Little Boots: Hey, I posted that last thread.
Yatsuno
@Comrade Nimrod Humperdink: Rock. Hiding under it I am. Might emerge unless the Seahacks perform their own spectacular meltdown. Been awhile since I saw a Couging that bad.
Little Boots
@BillinGlendaleCA:
seriously, I love that.
Little Boots
and we’re totally right.
BillinGlendaleCA
@Little Boots: You did see the link of that song to your Monkees post?
Little Boots

Little Boots
@BillinGlendaleCA:
I did not.
BillinGlendaleCA
@Yatsuno: Look at the bright side, Yutsy (Yatsy, Yahtzee?). The “Flying Highlanders” beat up on my Huskies today.

Watching this morning’s Up with Steve Kornacki, one of his panelists, MJ Lee, is kinda cute.
Little Boots
@BillinGlendaleCA:
well now you’ve blown it. sky high.
BillinGlendaleCA
@Little Boots: Because the panelist is cute? I was right, she is Korean. I do have a thing for Korean women, especially one in particular.
Little Boots
@BillinGlendaleCA:
you are cruel, and awesome.

@Little Boots: My father-in-law was a Kim.

redeem my faith in what I think is your generation: you know what fleetwood mac is, right?
JGabriel
@BillinGlendaleCA: Wow, I thought I was the only one who remembered that song. Did you get that from when I linked it when we did Atrocities of the Seventies back in 2009?
(Jeepers, how many years have I been here?)

@The prophet Nostradumbass: I was doing better than the “contestants”.

@BillinGlendaleCA: So after the Oregon game the team was jumped by a band of kilt-wearing hooligans? That does sound unfortunate.
Spaghetti Lee
@Little Boots:
I believe it’s a brand of organic mac’n’cheese.
The prophet Nostradumbass
@BillinGlendaleCA: So was I, and I was actually awful at it.

@Little Boots: I know who Fleetwood Mac is, even have some of their album. You know on vinyl and all.
Little Boots
@BillinGlendaleCA:
you are awesome.
although you make me feel old.
so you are the opposite of awesome.
but you are a little awesome.

@Little Boots: Would you like to borrow my walker?
Little Boots
@BillinGlendaleCA:
I would like a rascal, actually, dammit.
Little Boots

@Little Boots: Don’t worry, a woman in line behind me at Costco, seemed to think I was on Medicare.

Oh, well I can give you that.

Congratulations, ranchandsyrup!
And Welcome To The World, Michaela Syrup!
I know it’s looking a little messy right now, but … well, I guess I’ll stop there. No need to make you depressed and hopeless on your first day here.
Angela
@ranchandsyrup: yeah! Congrats and thanks for sharing. I think I just got a little more hopeful. Welcome Michaela!

@ranchandsyrup: yay!

we used to see Nettles in little clubs when she was in a band called “Soul Miner’s Daughter”. they were a kind of alt/hippy/country/blues band that played southern college towns for a few years.
ex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXJUwxcGdn8&noredirect=1
(oops.. now i see your link)
it’s kind of surreal to see her as a big star, since she was, for years, just the (fantastic) singer of this little bar band.
when she started the Jennifer Nettles Band, after SMD broke up, we were all like “ohh… look who’s puttin on airs…”
@ranchandsyrup:
congratulations!
Yatsuno
@cleek: Nettles was inevitably Nashville bound, but it took her meeting up with a couple Bushes to really have her career take off. It was pretty inevitable she’d have some kind of big success though, her voice is amazing.

Thanks everyone!
