Football

Ajusted's post on baseball got me going on a football post. This upcoming season promises to be a great one. Here's why:

1. This year's draft class is killer. I don't care if a monkey can score better than Vince Young on that test (that same monkey would've lost by at least 14 points in the Rose Bowl), he's a great quarterback and should be fun to watch. Oh, and that Bush guy is good too.

2. The Bears: They should be a lock for the division. I like the Greise pickup...sure, we have 2 injury prone QB's, but they are GOOD and injury prone.


3. The trades:
- T.O. to Dallas. You know you're waiting for the first TD he scores and runs out to the mid-field star...I'm sure Sportscenter already has the on-screen graphic rendered and cued up.
- Edgerrin James to Arizona. Ha, ha, looks like Peyton won't make the super bowl again!
- Dante to Miami. Saban's done a good job...I'm just interested in seeing how Culpepper will play out.
- Aaron Brooks to the Raiders. I don't know much about him actually but the offense is just waiting to explode. I'm psyched that Art Shell is back too. I'll be at the opening Monday Night game.

4. The scheduling: The Sunday Night national games have flex scheduling late in the season. This guarantees good matchups every week.

5. The new coaches: We'll see how some of these rookie head coaches pan out.

Mausolea

Ok, we have a name, demo and myspace page. I guess that makes us official.

New Rock

We recorded a demo last night in the practice space. From what we listened to it sounds great. Phil (drummer) rented a MOTU 896HD and we recorded into his mac (performer). I actually didn't know it was going to be a full-blown recording so was a little unprepared, but it ended up turning out great. He's mixing it over the next week. We'll have an .mp3 up after that..myspace probably.

We got offered a show in June with Oxbow. It'll be our first show, but if we don't come up with a name we'll lose it. I fucking hate band names.

I've been meaning to post about Deerhoof for Chris B. I've seen them a couple times, don't really like them. But there's a huge scene in SF of bands like them - pretty much Deerhoof and all their friends. Here's some notables:

Erase Errata
Total Shutdown - These guys actually put on a bad-ass live show.
Numbers - Quirky rocky.
