Sometimes it hurts to be so right all the time...

Once again, dear reader, I have beaten the venerable pitchfork.com to the proverbial punch. Just today, pitchfork placed the new and still-unreleased Arcade Fire track "Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains)" on its Best New Music list:



A worthy addition to Pitchfork's BNM list, indeed; but as any of my devoted Twitter followers would already know, I had already tweeted a 140 character-long load of glowing praise onto the track last weekend:



Once again...I called it. And Pitchfork can suck it.

RT @myself

I'm mildly drunk, having just worked a Sunday double, and I'm tweeting the hell out of my twitter account in search of musical gold to re-invigorate my live shows and open mics. I'm growing tired of playing the same shit every week/end, and using Girl Talk to remember pop-culturally deep cuts that everyone needs to be reminded they love.

I'm just nerding out to music--one of my favorite activities. Just like sex; better with friends, but without them...it'll still do.

Adam Schefter is a Dimpled, Dapper Dude.

For those who don't know, Adam Schefter is the new NFL "insider"/reporter on ESPN's NFL coverage. He used to work on the NFL Network, and has a fairly large following on the internets for his ability to break stories and confirm or disprove hot NFL personnel rumors. Anyway, he's one of my favorite sports reporters.

Watching Schefter's analysis of the Redskins' preseason game late last evening, I remarked to Yale how damn impressive his tie knots always are. I mean, they are consistently, consistently excellent. I follow Schefter on Twitter, so I decided to go straight to the source. I had to find out:



At 7:30 this morning, I woke up and found that Schefter sent me a direct message in reply:



So there you have it. Emmitt Smith taught Adam Schefter how to tie a tie. Were he not a former Dallas Cowboy, I'd hire Emmitt Smith to teach me the same, 'cause those are some excellent fucking dimples.
