Get Your Dunkin Thursday

Hidee Ho Hidee Hi! It is Thursday and that means, I got I got I got a whole bunch of ragetastic awesomeness to rant about. First, however there is a sweet acoustic performance on a couch by Dear Hunter playing their song "Mustard Gas." This is how I roll, good tunes to accompany my rage. Yesterday night I did some artastic (yeah I am all about the tastics) and will be revealing the awesome later today. Don't be surprised if I am declared the next Picasso or Chuck E. Cheese. Here are your highlights: It is starting to become clearer, whoever thought of mandates and thinks it is a good idea, IS A FUGGIN IDIOT New! Exciting! RX Plan by spineless and worthless Harry Reid...

I have a ton of work to do today, so today will probably include only short tidbits here and there. Apparently some people did not like my take on the 9-11 dot com stalling the Ground Zero rebuild. I stick by what I say, there is a bigger picture to the thoughts of America then and some would prefer to keep it that way. In a completely unrelated personal note, I am going to another wedding this weekend in good ole central IL and the bride and groom will be Mr. and Mrs. Rural King . Here are your highlights: Cubs WIN, wish I was not at work when this went down , best part of my day was getting off the El and a ton of dejected Sox fans were getting heckled. Their witty response, "We have a championship!" Wow. Still living in 2005 and 1985, the South Side. ...

Get Your Dunkin' Wednesday

Premium Blend Prescott Tolk comedycentral.com Joke of the Day Stand-Up Comedy Free Online Games Hello Hump Day! Last night's show was a great success. Chicago Underground Comedy definitely had one of the best line ups I have seen. A word to the wise if you go to a comedy show, do not try to upstage the headliner. HE HAS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE! Dude will Pew Pew you and...he did. Prescott Tolk is the man and one of the most respected comedians in Chicago. I rarely highlight more than one comic a week, but dude had it on lock.

I am excited it is Wednesday. It is Memorial day weekend (which is particularly tough for me) and I will be hopefully spending some time on a boat! With a scarf, shorts and Sperry loafers and selling the f out. Not really, but I will be a on boat most likely and can't wait.

Late Night Music with Frank- the Dear Hunter

I have been a fan of the Dear Hunter since their first inception. It is in category of one of my favorite genre's of music; conceptual prog rock. In laymen's terms, it is nerd concept rock. The story is about a boy his life, love and death, yet it is the music and emotion that Casey (I have met him, I am a Band-Aid, not really, ok maybe if they ask... first name basis applies here is what I am saying) portrays through his songs in any setting that is of legend. This is the official video from their single "Church and Dime" and it only scratches the surface of why I appreciate this album so much. Other highlight tracks include "Red Hands", "Evicted" and "Black Sandy Beaches." With an upcoming release in June, I will be first in line metaphorically at the ITunes store to download Act III . If you get the chance see them perform live Casey has added his brother to drums and a former member of his previous band Receiving End of Sirens on b...
