David Letterman tribute to Paul Newman

If you have an extra 10 minutes today, it will make you a much better person to watch this. I didn't see it live, but my dad sent me this video. Two things. One, I don't know why anyone would watch Leno, never understood that. Two, if you never understood or just didn't know why Paul Newman was so great, Please watch this video. I think you will understand. Great job by Letterman of doing such a great humanitarian piece on this and helping us to understand why Pal was so significant. Great stuff.  jb



This is why I get angry when people describe Texas as the South

I can't believe morons like this exist. How embarrassing for our country. Racist idiots. *****Warning! Offensive Language*****

This was totally cool. My wife surprised me with dinner with friends at the Airstream in the trailer park with some friends. For dinner she sent someone for burgers from Crown and Anchor, my favorite burger.

We have one of the camera shots from the massage therapist in N Austin taking illegal photos of clients

AUSTIN  --  An Austin massage therapist is in jail today accused of taking nude photographs and video of clients. Jason Thompson worked at Avant Salon and Spa in the Gateway Shopping Center until last month. A police affidavit says a victim told investigators Thompson used his cell phone to record clients without their knowledge and then showed his friends.

This woman pissed me off

My wife, daughter and I are out for a burger. This family comes in
with what appears to be about a 10 to 12 month old. She asked the
granparents to play with her kid while she stands 10-15 feet away from
her baby because she doesn't want the smoke in his face. Meanwhile,
this Nasty ass woman is puffing her smoke all over us and our kid. Not
to mention the others around us. I will rarely describe a woman as an
a-hole, but this woman is an inconsiderate a-hole. Does she realize
she's saying "smoke is bad for my baby but ok for you and your kids"
Honestly, granpa was walking towards her with the kid helping him take
steps and mom kept backing up... Towards us!
I really had to bite my tounge, but CPS should take this kid now and
save themselves a lot of paperwork in the future.

Only house in a neighborhood to survive Ike

You have to see this picture.  It's so messed up that it looks fake . . . but it's not.  It's a neighborhood in Galveston, Texas, where Hurricane Ike hit hardest last week.  It shows a lone house with nothing around it but utter devastation.

--The house belongs to Pam and Warren Adams, who built it in February 2006 after their first home was destroyed by Hurricane Rita.  They asked the contractor to build a house that could withstand a Category 5 hurricane.  Looks like they got their money's worth.  (iReport.com)

I really shouldn't enjoy this...

But how can you not love seeing Diddy stepping in Dog crap?

couple of good cd's worth picking up


I've admitted, I'm horrible a reviewing music. I don't like to review it, be a critic or categorize it. All of the above sucks. but I did just buy a big ole batch of new music and the two that stood out most are:

Meiko- Meiko
I was getting impatient finding her official video, but check this out. Very "Grey's Anatomy", if you like Colbie Callait, you will likey...



The other one that is probably the best cd I've heard in 4 months is the new one by The Verve. Remember Bitter Sweet Symphony? You couldn't get away from that song at one time. Very mellow, with a rock feel, doesn't knock you over the head with catchy stupid hooks. This might be one of the best cd's of the year!... in my humble opinion.

I hate when they disable the embedded code.

One happy kid

My daughter is thrilled. Mom and dad finally broke down and got her a hamster. She hasn't left the poor thing alone for the last 24 hrs.  It's already taken one nasty fall. My daughter was so upset she cried for a good 20 minutes. She's very, very sweet to this thing. What an odd world to be a hamster. Some giant carts you around at will, stroking your melon whenever they want, and occasionally stuffing you inside a large plastic ball so you can slam into things. I really hope this thing lives awhile. She's pretty attached already, although she did have the sensibility to already say "Let's take picture in case it dies." Classic

Subject: Hey

   Dear The Morning Show Crew,
              This email is long overdue.  I am a 4th grade teacher and part of what drives me is the hope that I am reaching at least one student or that maybe I was the hug they needed to make it through that day.  I see you guys as life touchers too.  But I also realize that it is very rare to get to see the change you have made in someone else's life so I wanted to take this time to tell y'all how wonderful you guys are.  I have been a listener since I was 19 years old and I am now 27.  You are my addiction, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I just crave the radio.  When I wake up in the morning my alarm is your voices.  At times I find myself singing to a morning song playing, laughing at a rerun story, or just waiting in suspense as I listen to then end of a story.  Either way the majority of the time I roll out of bed motivated to go to work an make a change in a child's life because of your ability to start my day with a smile on my face.  Life has many ups and downs and I have listened to you all over the course of about 8 years so I have had rough things happen but being able to hear you guys helped me face those hurdles.  At times my husband makes fun of me  because I throw the biggest fit when I wake up and realize that you guys have taken vacation.  I truly believe you all need vacations but it does not make it any easier for me.  All this just goes to say that I love waking up with you guys and if you have ever wondered if you have touched someone's life then wonder no more!  I am truly impacted by the things you say and I know that as long as you keep making me smile then I will live longer!  No pressure! jk.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.  You guys are absolutely wonderful.   I can't wait to hear you in the morning!!!

Sincerely,
Kristin


Good times with Tim Sanders

Had a great time hanging with our good friend, Tim Sanders. Pick up his new book, available online and in stores as of yesterday!


CHECK OUT A PICTURE OF THE WORLD'S SMALLEST MAN POSING NEXT TO THE WOMAN WITH THE WORLD'S LONGEST LEGS:

The 2009 edition of the "Guinness Book of World Records" went on sale yesterday. 

--So, in honor of this momentous occasion, we figured you'd appreciate some pictures of the world's smallest man . . . 20-year-old He Pingping of China . . . posing with 36-year-old Svetlana Pankratova of Russia . . . who is the woman with the world's longest legs.  

I don't know who's keeping track of this or how

But so far three people have been arrested sporting Obama shirts, logo's etc...  No arrests as of yet for McCain supporters.





I think I have gone beverage crazy.

This is what I have had to drink between 4:30 and 4:50 am as I'm
reading through all the entertainment news. I'll probably have a
coffee and a kambucha tea in the next hour too.

Matt Nathason is coming to Mix!!!

Did you join our "friends with benefits" program at www.mix947.com? If you did then you got the newsletter today that Matt Nathason is coming to our studio's on Friday. I love this guy. I have been listening to his new cd for quite awhile, was thrilled when Mix added his new song "Come on, get higher".  Check out the video:




I first heard of this guy years ago. He was brave enough to do a cover version of one of my favorite songs, "Laid" by James.  It's a killer song from the early 90's that you might recongnize. It may also ring a bell because it was on one of the American Pie Soundracks. Here is a fun version of Matt doing it at a live show:






Now, in case you have never seen them, you have to check out James doing "Laid". This song was HUGE, especially in the U.K. Check out how crazy the crowd is and how into it they are. Also, it's interesting going back and watching old footage of James. I think at some point Michael Stipe of R.E.M. saw Tim Booth of James and decided he wanted to look and act just like that on stage. Maybe it's just coincidence, but check out this old concert vid of James:


Damn, this is funny....

did you miss Tina Fey as Sarah Palin on Sat. night?

Busy weekend

I think I'm completely nutso.  I'm taking my daughters 1st grade project a bit too seriously. I just ordered a one pound bag of bat guano (poop) on Ebay.  I'm going to use this to attract bats to our new bathouse. Not the best timing, aren't they about to leave?

Digitz was right, I spent way too much at St. Bernards Sports. They had a huge sale. We bought stuff for all of us, so I wasn't paying much attention to the total. When I got home I realized I bought a $128 pair of shorts. They were 20 percent off, but still, that's nuts.  They are just beige cargo's. No big deal.  I got some good deals on other stuff. I need to pay more attention when I shop. I rarely shop.

Today I did something I needed to do for a long time. I completely emptied my entire underwear drawer and also my sock drawer. Threw it ALL out. Why do I try to get a shelf life of a decade with this stuff. That's discusting.  I went to TJ Max and bought a basketfull of boxer/briefs and new socks.  Awesome.  

I just went on a new cd buying binge:

XTC- Homegrown (some old demo's, the only thing I think I was missing from my XTC collection)
Supergrass- Diamond Hoo Ha
Weezer
Okkervil River- The Stand Ins
Meiko
Guy Forsyth- Calico Girl
Jacokopierce- Promise of Summer (didn't know these guys were working together again)
Slightly Stoopid_ slightly not stoned enough to Eat Breakfast Yet Stoopid
The Verve- Forth
Mathew Sweet- Sunshine Lies
Duffy-Rockferry (have you heard Warwick Ave? Sad, sad song)
Donovan Frankenreiter- Pass it Around

We're getting a little creepy around my house







My daughter just started first grade and they suggest that each kid do a yearlong school project on anything they want and then present it to the class at the end of the year. My daughter decided to study bats. She has plenty of time, over 8 months to be exact, but she wants to do everything now. She's excited. I think this is on the heels of Batfest. We checked that it. It was really just "vendors on a bridge", that's what they shoud call it. That's all any of our festivals are any more. some port a pottys, a couple of mediocre bands, some vendors and some crafts.  Boom, you have a festival.
Anyway, to get her excited about this project, I purchased a bat house, which we are going to hang in our backyard. Did you know a bat colony can eat 600 mosquito's in an hour!  I also bought her a taxidermic bat. The kids in the class when really get a kick out of this and my daughter will love showing this off. I've attached the pics of both the house and bat we bought.
