The Severed Cortex

Wow. Put simply, I was absolutely blown away. Nancy Schultz was right. I would totally love The Rev. I don't know why they call this music rockabilly because it truly is the essence of rock and roll. Rockabilly, to me, is the one genre of music th… more »

I'm not sure why I haven't read more Tom Robbins. His style seems right up my alley and the further I read into this, the more I realized that some writers just have the ability to put their voice in your head. On top of that, Robbins has a unique usag… more »

It was announced last week so I'm sure it's sold out already. more »

This was actually supposed to be a pretty big day for us. Our facilitator at BBBS asked if we would be interested in talking to a reporter for the Alton Telegraph about our experience with BBBS. The Telegraph was preparing a series of articles on progr… more »

If you've played around with Macromedia Flash, you'll understand why this is cooler on even another level. I've done some Flash development, but nothing like this. No shock that I'm better at the Action Script coding than the storyboard/design part. more »

Normally I don't listen to reggae. Despite the fact that I may or may not have enjoyed the company of Mary Jane in the past, dreadlocked rastas never peaked my interest much. Yes, I understand Jah, and yes they should legalize it, but to repeat that ov… more »

We took this route. And stopped here for a picnic. We checked in here. Then rode this. To go see this. Sox lost. Sleep. Ate breakfast here. Walked around here. And here. Freaky. We had a light snack here. Pricey, but highly reco… more »

He mowed his grass again today. Unbelievable. It barely sprinkled rain the last couple of days. more »

Granted the day before yesterday was the first real day in over a week that it hasn't been 100 degrees. It hasn't rained here in weeks and the city posted restricted water usage quite some time ago. There are a couple shady spots in my yard that are st… more »

I was in the Globe clothing store (315 Ward Avenue downtown Caruthersville for those of you with KCRV jammed in your brain) when I heard over the store radio that Elvis 'died'. ... wink, wink, nudge, nudge. more »

Jim Norton is a vile, disgusting excuse for a human being. If you don't believe in Darwin's Theory of Evolution, take one look at Jim Norton. You'll quickly come to the conclusion that he's as close to an ape as any of us. In fact, he sort of looks as… more »

This quote makes me laugh. "We were playing the Red Sox once, and somebody on Boston took out Rizzuto," Coleman said. "A bad slide. DiMaggio came up and hit a single to right field, and he never stopped at first -- he ran right to second, and knocke… more »

Not sure how to describe this since its pretty whacked out. Click around to find some photos of the band if you don't believe me. If you love Gwar, you'll love Lordi. more »

One of the funniest Onion Radio News I've heard. more »

Today is Nancy's birthday. Everyone send her a birthday wish. more »

On Saturday Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player to reach 500 home runs. Also on Saturday, Barry Bonds tied Hank Aaron for the all time home run leader. Most impressively, since he did it without steroids, Tom Glavine won his 300th game Sunday nig… more »

8:00 am this morning and he's cranking the weed eater up. Shortly afterwards he began the mowing ritual ... diagonal this time (from SE to NW). I realize its really hot and no one needs to be out there at 2:00 in the afternoon, but 8:00 am is too early… more »

I've actually never seen a show at The Gargoyle. more »

I'm not saying that Kenny Lofton should get into the Hall of Fame, and I know that every player is eligible for a vote five years after their retirement from MLB, but should Kenny Lofton at least deserve the courtesy of baseball analysts discussing his e… more »

(Scene: Thursday night. Nancy and Drew are eating dinner when the phone rings) Robert: Are you going to come pick me up? Me: Yes I am. Want to go watch cars crash into each other? Robert: YES!! Some things boys just find to be cool, even if y… more »

Stax, Blue Note, and SST are three labels that probably most influenced my musical tastes. more »

I've read this probably twice before, but every once in awhile I have to go on a McGuane trip again. This one is probably not his best, at least by my standards, but it does have some flashes of brilliance. At times you get a little Pynchon, Norman Mai… more »
