I went to the record store last night to get some old school metal. I was thinking about something from Iron Maiden or Judas Priest. The Iron Maiden selection was thin and they just had a greatest hits CD for Judas Priest. I'm kicking myself because a couple of weeks ago they had some great reissued Priest CDs for 6.99. I thought they'd be there forever. That my friends, is a life lesson. When life is showing you a 10, always double down. You only get one chance with Priest. So, the hunt was on for some good/heavy music. I was there for close to an hour looking at this and looking at that. I even went to the listening station where you can listen to the CDs of the day. Finally, I overheard the record store guy tell a customer to check out a CD by the Gorillaz. He said some guy from Blur played on it and it was really great. So, I got it. I should say, like a dumb ass, I got it. It starts off with a drum machine, ba doom doom dat - ba doom doom dat. The same beat you've heard a thousand times. I took a musical gamble and came up with snake eyes. I would have had better luck with David Lee Roth's greatest hits. I could listen Yankee Rose a hundred times. He talks to the guitar and the guitar talks back! I'm not going to the record store anymore.

After that, I turned on the TV. The Manchurian Candidate was on. I have it on DVD but had to watch it anyway. That's such a great film. I love it! That's my weekend viewing recommendation. I ended the night by listening to the Rolling Stones. Gorillaz, take a page from their book, drum machines stink. Get a drum set and put a mic on it. Save the drum machines for Timbuk 3. OK, that's it for today.

Let's get over that hump, I can see the weekend!
