Well, how did I get here?
I have never tired of listening to this song and it is even better with the video:
Unfortunately, I never saw Talking Heads live but did get to see David Byrne a few years ago and enjoyed his show!

Friday Ark #210
We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?
Visit all the boarders, Link to the Ark and check back for updates through Sunday afternoon!
You can board the Friday Ark by submitting your post here, leaving a comment or a trackback to this post or emailing fridayark AT themodulator.org.
You can find previous editions at the not quite up to date Arkives page.
Note Bene: Boardings have been and will be fewer this sailing as the Modulator Family and Ark Staff spend pretty much all their time this weekend on wedding activities for the eldest Modulator child, well not really a child, he is definitely a fine young adult now: Congratulations Ben and Kelly!

More Skeletons From the Closet
Another collection of Grateful Dead memorabilia is going on the auction block. Most of it from Vince Welnick’s collection but some material from Pig Pen, John Kahn and Rock Scully stuff as well.
Including A Rock Scully metal attaché case used to transport important items for The Grateful Dead while on tour, 1960s-1980s:
One can wonder what important items besides the band’s payroll might have travelled in this case.
For the tapers there is this collection of soundboards from Welnick’s time with the band:
We may be mostly digital now and some didn’t like the ’90s Dead much but this is enough to bring tears of desire to anyone who collected few or many GD tapes over the years.
Too bad this stuff is selling into a poor economic environment. Too bad I don’t have a few extra worth less today greenbacks.
Bailout Fallout?
I wonder just how much the value of Manchester United’s blue kit has fallen since AIG demonstrated their worthlessness:
The Korean proprietor of our local dry cleaners pointed to his Man U jersey today, right at the AIG letters, and said “No good!
Choking On My Coffee….
In his notes on today’s theft bailout hearings Mike Nizza says in the 9:51 segment:
It may come as no surprise that the world’s greatest deliberative body is expressing a bipartisan feeling against rushing things too fast.
The rest of the world is really in deep doodoo if the us congress is the world’s greatest deliberative body.
Perhaps it is. It is also an abject failure at everything but serving its masters and its masters are not the people.
The british parliament is good at serving its masters as well but at least it gives us the prime minister’s Questions.
