Damien Rice

Jimmy Fallon Sucks

Accustomed as we are to the CBS lineup, had it not been for a weird college basketball tournament, the Wife and I would have continued to be lulled to sleep by the dulcet tones and dry wit of David Letterman. Like a giddy adolescent, I occasionally suffer through until the true comedy genius of [...]

Reefer-Headed Woman

I have been remiss in not pointing out if George Jones and Jimmie Dale Gilmore had a love child, it might sound a little like this. Tom Beardslee‘s slide guitar magic was great, but journeyman accordion provides a nice cajun feel.

The Carolina Scoop

From Jon Mayhew at The Carolina Scoop:

The Carolina Scoop has learned upon seeing evidence in the case of a now-resigned Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputy, the district attorney’s office told investigators to pursue charges in the case and to draw warrants against former deputy Jennifer Gabbard.

We agreed this week that the contestants were the worst chefs imaginable. Indeed, I think Gordon Ramsay is having us on. Neither are the cooks chosen for [...]

The Pixies

Before & After

Before

After

The Wife is a genius.

Out our front door.

The best cat in the world. Hailing from Hilton Head, her concerns used to be gators and dumb tourists. She escaped the gators.

Thankfully, the last episode of HBO’s Eastbound and Down is now showing. So are Katy’s Mixons, and they are gorgeous. But then, [...]

Lake Norman Bath

I took the opp this afternoon to peruse my metrics and found this nifty new blog apparently dedicated to stirring up trouble in Lincoln County. I’ve done some work in the region, so I emailed the proprietor with thanks for the link and to ask if we know each other. The blog owner [...]
