Hey Mshray. Long time no talk. All good?

More or less.  Lots of crazy activity with the startup (which is called Fastor Systems, btw), plus a few hospital visits for each of the in-laws in SF - one planned, one not - but they're all fine now.  Wife has started a new job at Cost Plus HQ in Oaktown, so she's not coming home for lunch anymore.

that Meet the Parents clip reminds me that I still think Chris Martin's mother-in-law is better looking than his wife.

Gigantic BOS for "High Fidelity", the best thing in 2000. HM for Aimee Mann.

Wow, it's a Fastball song other than the big hit. Not great, but unusual.

so far the quality of the movies from 2000 has outstripped the quality of the music heard so far.

Oops, take that back, BOS #2 for Green Day, especially after the election news clip.

Nader did pull votes from Gore, but it didn't cost him the election.  Gore ran a poor campaign.  He didn't even win his "home" state of Tennessee.

nice lesser heard Green Day.

The set wasn't great, but it wasn't bad as I thought it was going to be.

It's not mutually exclusive.  Gore could have run a poor campaign and won.  I don't think you can say Nader didn't cost Gore Florida, besides the fact the Supremes gave it to shrub.

From what I'm reading this coulda been much worse -- I'd've BOSed Dandy Warhols. But there's a comment in the thread on AL's FB page about "thanks for the Flight of the Conchords clip" --er, WTF?

Looking at this list, yeah, it could have been a lot worse. Could've done without the Everclear, and don't really need to hear "Yellow" again, but AL did well considering the circumstances. Extra points for reminding me of the Dandy Warhols, and of course "High Fidelity", certainly in my Top Ten movies for the 2000's.
