The One Where I Whore My Band and Whine About My Bracket My Space is doing a lot more for me than Friendster (or Enemyster, for that matter) ever did. My band is on there, as is Michelle’s. I have a personal page (complete with MS Paint self-portrait). Everyone wants to be my friend. Unfortunately, you have to be a My Space member to look at additional comments or read ‘blog entries. But the music (on the band sites) is automatic. Just a warning, because it usually plays as soon as you load the page. Meanwhile, the NCAA tournament killed me just a little bit Saturday night. Wake Forest was the cornerstone of both of my brackets . . . and they lost in double overtime to West Virginia. Has anything good every come out of West Virginia? Maybe? Anyway, it was a great game. Now I have to put all my hope in Illinois and North Carolina. And Wisconsin. Go Badgers! The Musical Madness from Beyond It almost came down to a tie-breaking vote between Human League and The Smiths, but the League won by a vote. And the Adam Ant / Heaven 17 battle wasn’t even a contest . . . as in, no-one who was even involved in nominating Heaven 17 showed up to vote for them. And, for those of you who were wondering, The Cure was my favorite band for the last half of the 80s and into the early 90s, but I don’t really think of them as an 80s band. The same with The Smiths, although their entire history was contained within the 1980s. REM, New Order, and Depeche Mode are kind-of like The Cure . . . more of a “modern rock” phenomenon, not really representing the same 80s feel. Today, we wrap up the first-round matchups. Vote early, vote The Go-Go’s vs. Eurythmics Berlin vs. The Motels |
