Yo! The post I made about the coach at IUPUI going barefoot for charity? I posted it over at MetaFilter and it was featured in the Metafilter podcast today. Matt also mentions how much he likes SportsFilter, He said it is, "mostly smart people talking about sports" That's us in a nutshell!

Yeah, you should probably close it to prevent reindeer games. although in that example no one wanted to play

ARod WTF?

In a 60 Minutes interview(982k .wmv file) ARod shows Katie Couric his Memorabilia Room and points to a couple of MVP Awards and situated between them is something he refers to as "The Babe Ruth Award"1,2 and he adds, "it is for the most home runs in Major League Baseball". Why would ARod have an unengraved trophy on his shelf and then incorrectly identify its significance?

I'm with terrapin. In fact, I am certain that this was discussed previously with the word from the pantheon that it would be addressed. Y'know what else would be nice? If the logo on the front page could be clicked on to reload the page. Y'know, like at *.metafilter.com. That would be nice. Then me likey.

Prelude to a faces punching

Yeah. So. Apparently you can't send CDs from China without a receipt. Or they have to be sent through Beijing to be inspected. Or something. I can't really be sure. I returned to the post office with a co-worker to help me sort it out and was met with no resistance. I sent lil_brown_bat the one I had with me and will attempt to send the rest very soon. So keep an eye out for it and let me know the condition. The lady that packs things in secure boxes was the one who said I couldn't so I had to go with a plain simple envelope although two of the discs are pretty well protected. For sorting purposes the first disc with Chinese music is blue. The second disc with English songs, (and four hidden lockerroom related tracks), is yellow. I have created and included a third disc that is orange to sort of make up for the delay. It is all over the place musically. The final track is sort of a musical eagle with a tear in it's eye. Pretty amazing. In fact, I just made it available for download. 1. Squirrel Nut Zippers - Ghost Of Stephen Foster (3:32) 2. Scissor Sisters - Kiss You Off (5:02) 3. Revolting Cocks - Do You Think I'm Sexy (5:33) 4. White Zombie - Boogie Man (4:48) 5. Prick - I Apologise (2:48) 6. Squeeze - Cool For Cats (3:11) 7. Ben Folds (w/ R. Wainwright) - Careless Whisper (3:42) 8. Book Of Love - Witchcraft (3:43) 9. Flipsyde - Trumpets (Never Be The Same Again) (3:58) 10. Bodies Without Organs - Sunshine in the Rain (3:28) 11. Puff Daddy feat. Mase, BIG - Been Around the World (3:57) 12. Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancin' (4:48) 13. Digable Planets - Nickel Bags (3:18) 14. The Gourds - Gin and Juice (6:24) 15. Squirrel Nut Zippers - La Grippe (3:10) 16. Marty Robbins - Devil Woman (2:52) 17. Buck 65 - The Centaur (3:22) 18. Buddy Holly - Fool's Paradise (2:27) 19. Red Simpson & Junior Brown - Nitro Express (2:54) 20. Marty Robbins - The Master's Call (3:07) 21. Diamond Rio - One More Day With You (Dale Earnhardt Mix) (2:48) I have received discs from lil_brown_bat and bperk. Hooray!

I'm burning them now. The English language companion to the Chinese version. Two songs are on both but in different languages. I can't create fantastic covers or labels but rest assured that the CD's kick ass. 01. Jackie Greene - Supersede (9:57) 02. Buck 65 - Bandits (3:22) 03. Butthole Surfers - The Shame of Life (3:19) 04. Jonathan Coulton - We Will Rock You/We Are The Champions (3:57) 05. Corinne Bailey Rae - I'd Like To (4:08) 06. Classic 70's Porn - Debbie Does Dallas (3:31) 07. Jackie Greene - Just As Well (4:57) 08. David Usher - Black Black Heart (3:48) 09. Editors - Feel Good Inc. (3:24) 10. Randy Vanwarmer - Just When I Needed You Most (4:00) 11. KT Tunstall - Other Side Of The World (3:34) 12. Buck 65 - B. Sc. (2:41) 13. Bob Dylan - Things Have Changed (5:10) 14. Jackie Greene - I'm So Gone (4:13) 15. The Bravery - Fearless (3:07) 16. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Phenomena (4:12) 17. Tracy Bonham - Behind Every Good Woman (3:20) 18. Zen Mafia - California (3:29) 19. The Blue Hawaiians - Martini Five-O (3:10) 20. The Moldy Peaches - Goodbye Song (2:13) In fact, there are four hidden tracks on this CD that are Lockerroom related. Cheers.

I'm still trying to find the title to the untitled Twins and Wang Rong songs. Yeah, I know but I think it matters. I hope to have an answer in the next day or so. Coincidentally, I hope to have the English language companion finalized, burned and ready for release. Yeah, that's right, a double-CD from China. I can't seem to ship anything to my family so if I'm going to the post office it is with significant contents. Cheers to lil_brown_bat whose CD I have already received. Funky, indeed. 01 - Wang Lee Hong - Zai Mei Bian (Near The Tree) 02 - Wang Rong - Ai Ya 03 - Will Wuha - Just When I Needed You Most 04 - Liu Ruo Ying - Fen Kai Lu Xing 05 - Will Wuha - Tai Xiang Ai Ni (I Want To Love You) 06 - S.H.E. - Bo Si Mao 07 - Wang Lee Hong - I'm Lovin' It 08 - Will Wuha - Wo Bu Shi Guang Dong Hua 09 - Wang Rong - Wo Bu Shi Huang Rong 10 - S.H.E. - Super Star 11 - Wang Lee Hong - Rang Kai 12 - Twins - Track 01 13 - Jay Chou - Bu La Ge Guang Chang 14 - Wang Lee Hong - Wang Mei Da Hu Dong 15 - S.H.E. - Remember 16 - Will Wuha - Do That To Me One More Time 17 - Wang Rong - Track 2 18 - Will Wuha - X Spy 19 - S.H.E. - I.O.I.O. 20 - Zheng Yuan - Hui Xin Zhuan Yi Y'know, I heard that Taco Bell Fire Sauce packets make excellent padding.

So I'm in? I've not been given a list of names to ship to. My address is here and your best bet is to print it and tape it to the envelope. If I am more than a recipient someone please let me know. I'll get busy on my playlisting/burning. Some real Chinese treats for y'all. Probably unknown to most of you, an earthquake near Taiwan back around Christmas severed communication cables with the mainland and the internet has been unusably slow for weeks. It may be several more weeks before the repairs are finished.
