It’s been a long time since I found an instant favorite like “The Kills”

She was in a band in the south and he was in a band in the UK and they were sending tapes to each other.. here’s a quote from eMusic..”The bluesy punk duo the Kills consists of vocalist/guitarist VV, aka Alison Mosshart, formerly of the Florida punk band Discount, and drummer/guitarist/vocalist Hotel, aka Jamie Hince. After Discount ended in 2000, VV began exchanging tapes with the London-based Hotel through the mail, but both of them felt hindered by this method, so VV crossed the Atlantic so the duo could write faster.”

you know mr. coffee don’t you? I used to think joe dimaggio was mr. coffee when I was a kid. mr. coffee makes coffee makers. It’s been making coffee makers since 1972. It was the first drip coffee maker made available for home use. Prior to the introduction of Mr. Coffee, most coffee prepared at home was made by a percolator, either on a stovetop or plugged directly into a wall socket.

if mr. coffee has been making coffee makers for 36 years, why have they not been able to make a carafe that doesn’t drip down the side? This question has bothered me for years.

Now in my mid-life as a coffee drinker since college, I would guess that I have owned 15 to 20 coffee-makers. Many manufacturers; Black & Decker, Bunn, ToastMaster, Gevalia (free) and of course Mr. Coffee.

I don’t understand. I never have a problem with the other brands’ coffee pots. Only Mr. Coffee coffee pots are guaranteed to dribble down the front, off the edge of the counter and onto your new kitchen rug. THe next time I forget and buy myself a Mr. Coffee, I will try to then stock up on brown kitchen rugs.

I don’t feel like writing anymore. I just got a new Mr. Coffee and I think about it every day. Maybe this will help me to let go until the next time.

Isn’t this everyone’s favorite from the ’70s? Golden Earring was from Holland. I had no idea.

Here’s the the Sponge Bob version…

I never thought I would see this outside the movie “Ghost World” and then it shows up on my friend Tina’s blog toady.

I don’t know why I posted that terrible mix before. Here’s video of the original. So much better. The previous mix is totally pointless. I don’t think I’ve ever published something here that I hate. I’ll leave it up anyway. Maybe someone will like it. I suppose if you really like the original then that mix might give you something different. Totally different.
