There is a new 8 1/2 By Eleven up. Also, Malach has a new post at the WoW, about the new controversy about Curt Schilling and his bloody sock. I just left a link and a comment at Schilling's blog, so their might be a ton of responses there (comment 101). Here is Malach's feeling.

While Schill is a bit of a publicity whore, he is not a scam artist. He has too much respect for baseball and it's history to do something like that. I also can't picture Schilling who is obsessed with a schedule on the days he pitching, taking time out of said schedule, especially in the playoffs and world series to doctor up a sock. Also the other part that seems really strange is why Thorne would say nothing for two years. As of now there is a retraction from Thorne. Also if you know anything about Mirabelli, he is a bit of a practical joker, and razzer.

It is nice to see this has cleared up a bit.

Your are Listening too . . .
When I'm Sixty-Four, of the Beatles album Sgt. Pepper's . . . In one way a cute little song, and a bit strange to be on this album. Again, remember the context of the song. 1967. Very unique compared to much of the music out then. So, what about the song. The Beatles themselves remember that McCartney had penned a version of the song when he was 16 during the Beatles Cavern Club days. The Beatles even played it back then, they used it as a soft song when the electricity or their amplifiers broke down.

The song was obviously about aging, and appealed to many of the parents of The Beatles generation. Why it took them this long to record it? No one has ever really said, and why for this album? Who knows. The song instrumentation feature the famous clarinet duet, that is unique for this song and give it it's cute sing songy signature. In addition it feature piano, cello, chimes and some electic guitar. Lennon liked the song, and said he could have never written a song like this. McCartney also slighty sped up his voice in a attempt to get it to sound younger.

Overall a very strange and interesting song for this album.

Wow, this is so 80's, what next? Gay Bashing? I have always found it strange when religious zealots will kill people to save the unborn, or kill people to make a terrorist statement. Do any of you idiots actually read the teachings of Jesus or Mohammed?

Two in a row from the lowly Orioles. Yankees again this weekend. Willie Mo . . . man if the boy could learn to hit a breaking ball. Mood: Mad about the sock.

Malach Quote/Video of the Day
Overall the rap that we're exposed to is maybe 15% of what's out there. What the major companies have done in the last few years is find out that they couldn't find any more Whitesnakes. They took a look at their marketing budget and put it behind hip-hop and figured out how to make it pop. - Chuck D
