The Super Furry Animals played this past saturday, with me n Michele very much in attendance. Here is a highlight – after the entire band except for the keyboard/laptop guy left the darkened stage for what must have been 15 minutes, and said laptop guy made wild, banging house (yep, surprised most of the now confused crowd I must say) music complete with rotating and flashing lights – they all strolled back on stage in their super furry Golden Retriever outfits, and gave us their best Rock Salute as the DJ blared the intro theme to –
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR!!!!!!!!
then they simply picked up playing the song they left off at before the whole discotheque thing happened, and (softly) destroyed their instruments (a little).
Needless to say, the show absolutely ruled. Now go look at the Super Furry Animals Official Website

Ahhh, Los Angles – not only the murder capital of the country, but now also home to the “worst U.S. [traffic] Bottleneck”.
The worst bottleneck in the study is the Ventura Freeway at Interstate 405 in Los Angeles. In 1999, the Ventura Freeway ranked No. 5. Four of the 10 worst bottlenecks are in the Los Angeles area.

Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks battle it out for the coffee market, with DD introducing espresso and lattes and Starbucks egding into DD territory – call it blue collar coffee vs. the “yuppie drinks”.
“To some Dunkin’ Donuts regulars, though, the new sophistication is a little too much. Pat Kelly, a 26-year-old Boston police recruit who drinks Dunkin’ Donuts coffee daily, refuses to try the new Dunkin’ products (and never goes to Starbucks). The only guy in his group of police buddies who tried a Dunkin’ latte got a razzing. ‘I’m not really a latte sort of guy,’ he says. ‘Those are yuppie drinks.'” ++++
