Love this song…definitely unique

Lesbian Bondage Fiasco

This song seems to constantly frequent my ears

deep thoughts

If a lady at work clearly wears a wig every day but just came in today with a much shorter haired wig on, do I still say “happy hair cut” to her?  Being polite can be so complex.

When I watch a game show on Food Network or something and the contestants have to give their money to charity, at what level of richness does that start?  That’s how rich I want to be.

Am I a Groupie?

I fell in love with the band The Head and the Heart in about April of 2011.  It was love at first hear and the only time I can remember Shazam ever turning into a band I thoroughly enjoy.

Anyway, I am going to the Boulder Theater to see them this Sunday night after a weekend of camping.  This will be the 4th show I have seen of their’s in less than a year which has got me thinking, am I a groupie?

According to Wikipedia a ‘groupie’ is a person who seeks emotional and sexual intimacy with a musician or other celebrity or public figure.  Well since there are 4 men and 1 woman in the band I can’t actually call myself a groupie without sounding super gay (not that there is anything wrong with that and not that its possible to be gay when listening to HATH because we are all gay when we listen to HATH right?)

Check it out, here is their full performance from the show I saw them in Chicago for Lollapalooza:  http://vimeo.com/47762298  password: Charity

Can’t wait for the show and can’t wait for their next album.

Reptar just started their tour with Rubblebucket in Chicago tonight.  I will be attending their show at the Bluebird in Menver on Friday.

Check out this house party they played at:

Rivalry Week

So being out in Denver doesn’t mean I can’t still get fired up about it being rivalry week.  Iowa and Iowa State will battle it out for the Cy-Hawk Trophy (the Super Bowl trophy if you are an ISU fan) this Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.  Thanks in part to Austin’s grandpa Bill Reichardt who got this rivalry back going in the 70s.  It is a great game for the state of Iowa but it really doesn’t do anything for Iowa’s strength of schedule ever.

Anyways, so if two Cyclone fans get divorced are they still brother and sister?

Matt Roth will be the honorary captain on Saturday and he has 2 words for ISU:

Iowa 31 Little Brother 21.  ISU scores late to make it respectable but Iowa dominates.

God I love football season.

Sorry for you diehard Dougtalk fans, I have been blogless lately and too lazy.

Well ladies and gentlemen it is officially the end of the summer and football season is right around the corner.  Soon the air will be chillier, the leaves will be changing, and Iowa will be beating the shit out of their little brother Iowa State.  Oh what’s that?  You are an Iowa State fan and think Iowa and ISU are equals?  How about we break this down just to remind you of our utter dominance:

Iowa record overall: 594-522-39  Iowa State: 499-595-46

Bowl games:  Iowa 14-11-1  Iowa State 3-8-0 (Ricky Stanzi had 3 bowl victories at Iowa)

Conference Titles:  Iowa 11 (2 since 2002) Iowa State 2 (in 1911 and 1912)

Consensus All Americans:  Iowa 22 Iowa State 3

Heisman:  Iowa 1 winner (Nyle Kinnick, greatest American to ever live) and 3 runner-ups  ISU 0 and 1 runner up

“Yeah but we beat you guys half the time!” — Stupid Cloner fan

Head to Head:  2011 L in 3OT, 2010 W 35-7, 2009 W 35-3, 2008 W17-5, 2007 (Christensen) L 15-13, 2006 W 27-17    Overall Iowa is up 23-12 with a 15 game win streak in there somewhere.

So this year when those stupid ISU fans try to tell you they are not our little brother program…challenge them to a shotgun race, after you finish your beer and are waiting for the stater to finish his… take a shot and a drag on a cigarette, crush the beer on their forehead, spit out these stats, and give them the Heisman as they finally finish drinking and try to slap you (staters don’t punch).

Oh and ISU copies their jerseys off of another college program (USC).  At least Iowa does it to the winningest NFL team in history (Pittsburgh).

Not only is Iowa State our little brother, they are our little runt of a brother who is 20 years younger than us from our parents that got drunk on their 30th anniversary and 9 months later Iowa State comes crying out.

50 things real adults do

A list of 50 things that real adults do that most young people don’t do.

I actually disagreed (or do) 5 of them regularly:

18.  Avoid taking public transportation.  (I take it everyday)

26.  Haven’t convinced their 11-year-old cousin they personally know Justin Bieber  (Justin Bieber isn’t worth that much of my time and energy.  The fact that he is so popular with girls my age only adds to the gender gap because I don’t get it even at all)

30.  Wear sandals that aren’t metallic flip-flops.  (I wear Chacos and am proud of it)

38.  Refer to things as “investments” (Insert my elitist educated response here)

48.  Vote Republican  (Yes, I realize that there is a strong negative correlation between people who wear Chacos and people who vote Republican.  Not a political blog so I won’t get into it.  #Nobama2012)

The Band – Atlantic City

This song makes me want to watch Boardwalk Empire

Everything dies, baby thats a fact
But maybe everything that dies some day comes back.
Put your makeup on, fix your hair up pretty
And meet me tonight in atlantic city.
