Spoon - The Underdog

Saul Williams - List of Demands

If you were like me last week, I was watching a ton of basketball, and got to see a ton of Nike commercials. One of the commercials had this really intersting song as the soundtrack. My initial guess was a new Gnarls Barkley or TV on the Radio song. Whenever I hear a song in a commerical that I don't know I end up at adtunes.com. In most cases someone has already posted the answer to the forum, and a simple search is all that is required to find the answer. Well, I was wrong with my guesses. The song is actually by a guy named Saul Williams. He is a poet from NYC. From what I have read it seems that Trent Reznor of NIN is responsible for the awesome beats.

Ready For The Floor

Q: What do you get when you mix the geek factor of Devo and the dance sensibilities of Beck?

A: Hot Chip

Can't wait to see them in a couple of weeks.

Kelly and I are also going to see Spoon next week. We have never had a chance to see Spoon in Chicago. It always seemed like we were out of town or had other commitments, not this time!!

Back in the Saddle

After a trip to Park City to ski that was ruined by the flu, and a long recovery (still coughing a bunch) I am back in the saddle. I hope to finally get in some consistent training over the next several weeks. It finally looks like the weather is changing (knock on wood) and with the time change outdoor rides in the evening are an option.

Think Spring!!
