Sunday Miscellany


  • Chromewaves has an MP3 of My Morning Jacket covering "Suspicious Minds".
  • Robb has uncovered a rock feud - 16 years after the fact. In their 1989 song, "Regina", the Sugarcubes sing, "I really don't like lobster!". Obviously a jibe at the B-52's, says Robb, and their 1978 song "Rock Lobster". Robb is researching his next rock feud - looks like there may be trouble between Blur and Oasis.
  • Would you trust your teeth to someone who can't spell "orthodontics"? No wonder they filed for bankruptcy.
  • Did I hear Joe Buck say last week that a baseball manager would "have to take another tact"? He wouldn't be the only one.
  • Another word-substitution I've seen lately: "tenant" for "tenet". This blogger asserts that "Compassion is apparently not a tenant of radical Islam". This one "would like to point out a fundamental tenant of our judicial system: innocent until proven guilty." This one believes in "small government, the smaller the better, which has always been an important tenant of Conservative ideology."
  • It even happens for George Tenet.
  • As suggested by Eric, anagrams of "Gloria Steinem", including "Male? Ignores it!" and "On girlie teams". And check out these enormous anagrams by Mike Keith. Jeremy's iron, indeed!
