Semi-Pro
I don't care if its the fourth time he's made the same movie. I want to see it anyway.
The fro is real by the way.
I think I've found my halloween costume.
Lake Effect Calender
I've booked Halloween, a Friday this year, at everybody's favorite bar, Silvies. Now before you detractors start hollering, let me share my rationale behind using Silvies:
1. We can have any date we want
2. It costs us a total of $70 off the door, wheareas Martyrs, for instance, is $400 +
3. Its actually a pretty nice room
Yes the drinks are expensive and a bit weak, but stick to shots and beer and you're gold.
I just think of the extra $10 I spend there over other bars as a premium for having our own private club for the night.
For Halloween, I suggest one of the following:
1. Lads
2. A show similar in format to the Uke Cab, but with full backline, where each act plays three songs in character and costume as another band, famous or invented. Its not a new idea, they've been doing it at Double Door/Subterranean for years. Just think of the potential from our comunity though! In case a full scale lads reunion isn't in the offing, an abbreviated 3-song set as part of this concept would be great, and manageable.
3. Halloween Karaoke- We have a house band and get people to sign up in advance to perform a song as famous singers and bands. The house band learens all the songs and off we go.
Personally, I think #2 is the way to go, unless by some miracle, we can find Ron Woods-Taylor and Dale Manion and convince them to come out of hiding.
Chime in Lake Effectors!

I Don't Get It
Blind Irishman sees with the aid of son's tooth in his eye
Thu Feb 28, 1:30 AM ET
An Irishman blinded by an explosion two years ago has had his sight restored after doctors inserted his son's tooth in his eye, he said on Wednesday.
Bob McNichol, 57, from County Mayo in the west of the country, lost his sight in a freak accident when red-hot liquid aluminium exploded at a re-cycling business in November 2005.
"I thought that I was going to be blind for the rest of my life," McNichol told RTE state radio.
After doctors in Ireland said there was nothing more they could do, McNichol heard about a miracle operation called Osteo-Odonto-Keratoprosthesis (OOKP) being performed by Dr Christopher Liu at the Sussex Eye Hospital in Brighton in England.
The technique, pioneered in Italy in the 1960s, involves creating a support for an artificial cornea from the patient's own tooth and the surrounding bone.
The procedure used on McNichol involved his son Robert, 23, donating a tooth, its root and part of the jaw.
McNichol's right eye socket was rebuilt, part of the tooth inserted and a lens inserted in a hole drilled in the tooth.
The first operation lasted ten hours and the second five hours.
"It is pretty heavy going," McNichol said. "There was a 65 percent chance of me getting any sight.
"Now I have enough sight for me to get around and I can watch television. I have come out from complete darkness to be able to do simple things," McNichol said.

Bitch is the New Black
The Librarian hipped me to this bit from last weekend's SNL, in which Tina Fey stumps for Hillary Clinton--good stuff. I dedicate this post to Eva. "Bitches get stuff done."
Que Rico!
QD and I had such a great trip to Puerto Rico! We went to the small island of Vieques, just off the east coast of the big island. We swam, looked for shells, played cards, slept late, biked, hitchhiked, kayaked, drank frozen drinks, etc.
Puerto Rico is great beacause:
1. Its 4.5 hours direct from Chicago for the same price as flying to Miami.
2. Its a US territory so theres no passports or money changing required and cell phone reception is good (this can also be a con!)
3. Everybody is super friendly
4. Its lush, tropical, and relatively untouched.
heres a few pix:
A remote beach on the island
Wild Horses everywhere! This one came right up to our blanket on the beach to say hello

On Salon.com today
Did anyone notice the annoying banner ads all over Salon - FOR THE AIR FORCE?! Fucking recruiting on Salon! I appreciate the fact that they are widening the net beyond high school gyms in the inner city, but the blanket of ads on Salon is a bit off-putting.
In case you thought academics were intellectuals...
The "researcher" whose office is across the hall from me has a sign taped to her door that reads, "If humans were supposed to pop out of bed in the morning, we'd all sleep in toasters!" I'll let you imagine the accompanying cartoon image.

My first post! (maybe my last)
John, the guitarist from Crystal Palace (my first band while still in high school-1984-85, and a guy I occasionally still do some gigs with) just sent me a link to some you tube videos of the band circa 1980. While all of the videos are entertaining in a very special Spinal Tap sort of way, the one above is just hilarious. Wait for it...it gets really good at 1:11 in. Also.....best ending ever.
I believe that the Hitmaker and possibly Biche played in a rival group at the battle of the bands in the Niles North High School Gymnasium in '85. I can't remember, did you guys win? I believe my friends band Synesthesia may have won because they were all Seniors and they played a wicked version of Foreplay/Long Time.

A little more Syl
Well now Alvy mentioned Syl Johnson (great song, by the way), and that reminded me that Simo had too. And I consider two such references a trend, and thus indicative of some pent-up demand for some slightly less well-known Chicago soul:

Ghost Post-Obama Montana
This sent in from Weinberg:
Ticketing snafu sends Obama supporters to ‘Hannah Montana’ concert-- with no discernable impact
VIRGINIA BEACH, VA. -- A computer error traced back to an on-line ticket broker sent thousands of pre-teen music fans to a rally for U.S. Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) Monday night in this oceanside community. Meanwhile, just miles away, the same glitch resulted in TV's "Hannah Montana" entertaining a crowd of voters who had gathered for a speech by the Democratic presidential candidate.
As it turns out-- just about everybody seemed to get what they wanted.
When the overwhelmingly female and largely pre-pubescent crowd of conert-goers arrived at the 15,000-seat Verizon Arena, neither they nor hundreds of the parents accompanying them had any reason to think that they were about to hear a political stump speech.
They entered to the sound of pulsating techno-pop music and were greeted by Obama campaign volunteers identifiable only by their florescent t-shirts emblazoned with the appropriately upbeat slogan: "Young People Rock!" Once they arrived at their seats, the so-called “tweeners” found plastic glowsticks—coincidentally, a staple of the audience-participation at both "Hannah Montana" concerts and recent Obama for President rallies.
"My little Jennie has seen 'Hannah'-- I don't know-- maybe six times. Plus we took a bunch of her friends to that 'High School Musical on Ice'," said Roy Burke, 40, of Charlottesville, Va., who entered the stadium assuming that he and his daughter were about to see cable t.v.'s biggest star. "This is pretty much what those shows are like. "
"Maybe I should have figured it out when I saw the Secret Service agents,” he said. “They looked intense—but, I assumed they were just Disney security."
Obama's entrance was preceded by a benediction from the Rev. Jerome McScythe, which many audience members interpreted as a prayer in honor of the 14-year old music idol. "Lord, thank you for delivering to us a young person so clearly inspired by Your Word, someone whose own words touch us, lift us up and give us hope," said the clergyman, as thousands of young girls and their parents were seen nodding in agreement. It was only then then that Obama, 46, entered the stage.
If the candidate noticed the mix-up, it did not seem to impact his performance. The first-term lawmaker largely stuck to the same themes that he had used earlier in the day during a noontime speech in Columbus, Ohio and during an afternoon appearance on the "Trya Banks" show.
"We can do anything we set our minds to," said Obama to shrieks of approval from the crowd, the majority of whom will be ineligible to vote for president until 2016.
"Don't just listen to what your parents are saying. Don't worry about what those presidents from back in the olden days-- like ol' Bill Clinton-- are sayin’, gettin' all up in your face, talking about 'experience'," he said.
"They're history. You and I are going to make history," he announced to the delight of the crowd, still reading from the TelePrompter.
The incident appeared to have been set in motion when the Obama campaign contracted with Ticketmaster, Inc., to distribute free tickets in advance of the rally. Although the campaign does not charge admission to its events, the Obama advance team was hoping to avoid the logistical complications that have plagued the campaign since it began attracting overflow crowds at other indoor venues across the nation.
The snafu occurred when a computer worker based at Ticketmaster's call center in Noida, India accidentally transposed the address for the Verizon Arena with that of the student center at Tidewater Community College, the site of the Obama rally. The two venues are both located within Virginia Beach, and are a mere two miles apart.
Both events were scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
"After the Senator took the stage over at the Verizon Center and that little girl started singing over at the college, someone detected the problem within 10-15 minutes tops," said company spokesman Hank Torres. At approximately 7:45 p.m., Ticketmaster representatives on-site at each event announced to members of both audiences that something was amiss. By 7:50, the problem had been identified, and the company announced that it would arrange for free transportation to the alternate site.
"But, the truth is, nobody took us up on the offer," Torres said. "People seemed fine where they were. I am not sure everybody really noticed the difference."
Indeed, while Obama's pre-adolescent crowd cheered loudly at key applause lines in his speech, Miley Cyrus (the actress who plays the title character on the Disney Channel’s top-rated program) was treated to equally enthusiastic feedback from her audience, made up of many newly-registered voters and people drawn to presidential politics for the first-time. Especially loud cheers from the Obama faithful were reserved for Cyrus' songs "Bigger Than Us", "We Got The Party", and "One in a Million."
"Those songs, those lyrics. That's exactly what I have been saying at our meetings," said Madison Tyler, 38, who identified herself as the treasurer and co-founder of the "Barack Fan Club" for the Hampton Roads area.
"She has really tapped into something-- something huge!," she said while waiting for Cyrus to return to stage for her encore.
Not everyone was as pleased, however.
"I thought that his comments were a little general, a little too vague for my liking," said Lindsay McPeete, a seventh-grader from Roanoke, Va., after the Obama speech. "I thought he should have said how he would achieve universal health care. But, I guess he's cool."
"He reminds me of that substitute teacher we had that one time-- remember, Lindsay?," said her friend Tabitha Claxton.
"Oh, yeah," said Lindsay, now giggling.
"Mr. Murton!," they both squealed in unison.
"We were like, 'ughh, do we have to do math?' And he was like, 'how about—let’s go around the room and everybody tell a joke with numbers in them.' Remember, Lindsay? When we got to tell math jokes? Remember? It was cool...I guess," recalled Tabitha.
"Much better than Mrs. Jennings," she added. "She always makes us do math. Regular math."
"Uggh. You're right-- so much better than Mrs. Jennings!," said Lindsay in agreement, as the two girls pantomimed gagging gestures.

Oasis discusses Radiohead:
Liam Gallagher
1996
"Radiohead? Boring bunch of fookin' students. I'll kick their fookin' heads in, man, 'cause they're dicks."
10.2001, NME
About his band's upcoming album: "It's punk rock. And moody. And well done, proper - none of that weird fooking Radiohead bollocks, none of that indie fooking rubbish. It's the Pistols and the Beatles, man - it's us."
Noel Gallagher
10.2001, Hot Press
"It’s a matter of taste I know but, personally, I was well miffed to see OK Computer atop the Q ‘100 Greatest Albums Of All Time’. I’m a fan of records, not bands. There’s even stuff that The Beatles did which I wouldn’t bother replacing if they were robbed off me. The Bends is a great record, but OK Computer and Amnesiac… I really don’t see what all the fuss is about. There’s nothing on ‘em that wasn’t being done by Faust 25-years ago."
05.2003, N.M.E.
"I heard the single. I like it because it doesn't annoy me. But then again with Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood in a band, they're going to be great, put them together and you get genius.But I don't get the whole angst thing, I don't like The Vines, except for 'Get Free' - great track, but what have they got to be pissed off about? They live in Sydney, the most beautiful city in the word. The Coral come from Liverpool and they have the right to be pissed off, but they write beautiful songs about how great life could be - they are geniuses. Radiohead have sold twenty million albums and they're still miserable? I can tell you from personal experience - it's not that bad. Trust me."
Noel & Liam
05.2002, Q
Q: Were you good husbands?
Noel:"I get unfairly singled out about marriage. No one asks Thom Yorke about his marriage."
Liam:"She's probably a miserable bastard like him. The miserable ginger dwarf and his miserable wife. Who wants to know about them?"
Q: Radiohead aren't bad though, are they?
Noel:"No! Radiohead don't want anyone else involved in that little thing they've got going on. Their thing is: Don't look at us. Don't photo us. Don't interview us. In fact, don't listen to our music. Where does it end? It ends with Thorn Yorke saying I've written the most fantastic piece of classical music ever but the only way you can hear it is by jamming a jack plug into my ear."
Liam: "They're a band of Morris dancers."
Noel: "They seem so pissed off being in a band. That doesn't inspire kids to pick up guitars. They're moaning about the marketing, the videos. If I was 15 I'd think, I'll get a job down the car wash. Whereas us, we love it. It's the best job in the world. Granted, some of the stuff on Amnesiac is brilliant. The Bends is the bollocks. 'Karma Police' is mega. But they don't want people like me to like their music so they can go and fuck themselves."

Lake Effect Family Jamboree
We book an afternoon in some club and have our own wiggleworms show, where each act picks a children's song and then we invite all of our friends and their kids and put on a show for them. Really, I'm just looking for an way to play "Its alright to cry" in public, so dibs on that one!

Jesus saves...your look
SINGAPORE - A cosmetics range with cheeky taglines that extolled the virtues of "Looking Good for Jesus" has been pulled from stores in Singapore after some Roman Catholics complained the items were disrespectful, a newspaper reported Tuesday.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7241296.stm
dipping my toes in the lake

The Boy Can't Help It
Fine! I admit it! Resistance is futile. I like John Mayer.
Yes, "Daughters" and "Your Body is a Wonderland" make me crazy, but I like him. Plus, he is a wicked good guitarist.

What More Do We Need To Know?

Gore, More Than Before
Posted February 8, 2008 | 05:44 PM (EST)
By Larry Abrams
I almost called this post "The Last Temptation of Barack Obama," but that would have been slightly deceptive. In this case, the Temptation is not Obama's but my own. Does one drain the chalice and support Obama for no reason other than the rapture he has inspired? And more broadly, is the Left as a whole compelled to get on the Obama train before they're left behind?
You'd have to be a fool to deny the possibility but I have a feeling we'll all be there to meet the Obama train when it pulls in at the station in Denver this August, and with the prospect of a deadlocked Democratic Convention before us.
When Bill Clinton called Obama's candidacy "the biggest fairytale" he's "ever seen," he was mistaken. Obama's candidacy is the second biggest fairytale we've ever seen. The biggest fairytale is the true story of every horned and spiky thing that has ever spewed out of Bill Clinton's triangulatin', prevaricatin' mouth.
Like it or not, everything in Hillary's candidacy proceeds from Bill's legacy of lies, betrayals, and corporate whoredom. Hillary is good on the issues, but her chief campaign and media consultant is the PR guy for Blackwater. Hillary would support campaign finance reform and a ban on lobbying but if she did, how could she raise the hundreds of millions of dollars necessary to get her elected so she could do all the wonderful things she's always dreamed of doing for us.
Hillary still invokes her days working at the Children's Defense Fund under Marion Wright Edelman, but Edelman cut off the Clintons when Bill went after kids on welfare in 1996, to please his new Republican friends in the House.
Hillary now cries when reminded of her youthful idealism working at the Child Study Center in New Haven, but I don't think she's crying wistfully about the road not taken; rather, she's crying about the compromises she's had to make along the highway to power. Hillary and Bill would say that they had to make those compromises "to maintain their viability in the system," that they made those compromises for us.
The rest of us might say, of course, who asked them? The Clinton's live in a cocoon of self-deception and though I'm sure they regard themselves as "good people," when Bill and Hillary walk through a room there is a faint whiff of sulfur in their wake.
From a Democratic Party perspective though, the biggest problem with Hillary is not so much that she's in league with the forces of darkness as that she can't beat John McCain. The reason she can't, is because Republicans won't vote for her, most Independents won't vote for her, and people like me won't vote for her.
Basta! We've had enough.
Obama can beat McCain, and will if given the chance. The prospect of beating Hillary and McCain should be enough to get everyone on board the Obama train.
Personally, though, I am ambivalent. The Obama campaign has been brilliantly executed, a true phenomenon. Obama is a genuinely charismatic guy. The Obama people have out organized the Clinton and Edwards people on the ground, and their candidate is a seamless fit with his message. But what is this campaign actually about?
It's about "change" they tell us.
Still, when Obama says "we've got to go forward, and not go back," I wonder how this would sound if there weren't ten thousand people screaming in approval. We're told that Obama's campaign is different, singular even. However much of Obama's message is vaguely reminiscent of Jimmy Carter, or the first Bill Clinton campaign, and like Clinton and Carter, Obama is coming at his Democratic primary opponent from both the Right and the Left simultaneously.
The one difference, and the telling difference between these campaigns, is that Obama IS the change that everyone else has talked about up until now. We know this because Obama tells us so, and one assumes he genuinely believes it. Obama is a black person who doesn't scare white people, but embraces them. When he talks about a new era of unity, he believes that too and so might we all.
It follows though, that the difference with Obama's campaign, is that it's more a belief thing than a political thing; a messianic thing even, and with ten thousand people screaming, "Yes, he's the One," who am I--or you--to say no?
So, let me just say it. No, I don't feel like playing the fool for Barack Obama.
I've been a John Edwards supporter this election, but now it's time for Gore, more than before.
Al Gore has many things to recommend him. As opposed to Hillary, he actually is quite experienced. Hillary's supposed 35 years of experience consists of exactly seven years of elective office.
As opposed to Obama, Gore really is a candidate of systemic change, and he's got the Nobel Prize to prove it.
Gore has been writing and talking about the slide of the culture into a televised, corporate consumptionist abyss, and the dangers this poses to a democratic
republic.
Gore was among the earliest and most vocal to attack Bush and Cheney on the illegal, immoral recklessness of going into Iraq, and he's been on them ever since.
Gore is not only the best Democratic candidate who could be put up at this point, he might end up being the only alternative at a deadlocked convention.
A Gore-Obama ticket would be a winning Democratic combination -- for a change -- in November.
In part 2 of this post, I'll discuss ideas, tactics and strategies -- crackpot and otherwise -- for making this happen.

I like this song, "Chariot", by a band called Page France. I heard it during my recent attempt to watch every episode of Weeds in three days. Is it just me, or does he sound like the guy from Wheat? Or is it someone else? Help me out here....

Any Lake Effectors need an acoustic guitar
Not rhetorical. If anyone knows someone who wants to learn guitar, this one is pretty cheap. Just spotted the ad, so I thought I'd mention it.
No!!
Mitt Romney drops out, and leaves us with this gem:
By that logic ...
“If I fight on in my campaign, all the way to the convention, I would forestall the launch of a national campaign and make it more likely that Senator Clinton or Obama would win.
And in this time of war, I simply cannot let my campaign, be a part of aiding a surrender to terror,” he said during the conference. Members of the audience shouted, “No!” as Mr. Romney spoke."
By that logic ...

Face HOF Nominee
Chicago Sun Times: Correction: That would be Lez Zeppelin at Bonnaroo, not Led Zeppelin:
Several media outlets — including the Associated Press, Britain’s NME and the Sun-Times — reported early this morning some very exciting news: that Led Zeppelin was finally booked for a stateside gig at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival.
Problem is — it’s not happening.
The actual band booked for the festival — and trumpeted atop yesterday’s lineup press release — is Lez Zeppelin. That would be the all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band.
Rumors had been circulating for months that Led Zeppelin would make its stateside landfall at the Bonnaroo festival.

Excerpt
The Tragedy of Britney Spears
A pop star at the mall is an eternal cause for happiness, especially on a Sunday afternoon in the Valley. One moment, shoppers in the Westfield Topanga mall are living in the real world, monotonously selecting a new shade of eye shadow or rubbing perfume on wrists, but upon the rapture of Britney Spears, they are giggling, laughing, orgasmic, already sharing their secret on cell phones. "Her legs are actually really skinny," an adolescent whispers into her Sidekick, as Britney beelines for the Betsey Johnson boutique, pseudo-punk designer of evening dresses and splashy heels worn to suburban high school proms. In person, Britney is shockingly beautiful — clear skin, ruby lips, a perfectly proportioned twenty-six-year-old porcelain doll with a nasty weave. She cuts through the crowd swiftly, the way she used to when 20,000 adoring fans mobbed her outside a concert, with her paparazzi boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, trailing behind.
Only a few kids are in the store, a young girl with her brother and two blondes checking out fake-gold charm bracelets. Britney rifles the racks as the Cure's "Pictures of You" blasts into the airless pink boutique, grabbing a pink lace dress, a few tight black numbers and a frilly red crop top, the kind of shirt that Britney used to wear all the time at seventeen but isn't really appropriate for anyone over that age. Then she ducks into the dressing room with Ghalib. He emerges with her black Am Ex.
The card won't go through, but they keep trying it.
"Please," begs Ghalib, "get this done quickly."
One of the girls runs to Britney's dressing room, explaining the situation through a pink gauze curtain.
A wail emerges from the cubby — guttural, vile, the kind of base animalistic shriek only heard at a family member's deathbed. "Fuck these bitches," screams Britney, each word ringing out between sobs. "These idiots can't do anything right!"
Ghalib dashes over to console her, but she's already spitting, growling, throwing a big bottle of soda on the floor so that it begins to spill underneath the curtain, and then she's got a box of tissues and is throwing them on top of the wet floor along with piles of discarded merchandise. A new card finally goes through, but by then Britney is out the door, leaving her shirt on the ground and replacing it with the red top. "Fuck you, fuck people, fuck, fuck, fuck," she keeps screaming, her face splotchy and red as she crosses the interminable mall floor, the crowd behind her growing larger and larger. "Leave us alone!" yells Ghalib.
The siblings run after Britney to get a video to put up on YouTube, and some of the shopgirls run after her to hand off the merchandise she left behind, and there's an entire bridal party wearing yellow T-shirts who have pulled out camera phones too. A crush of managers in black shirts and gold name tags try to keep the peace, but the crowd running after Britney gets larger, and now the shopgirls have started to catch up to her, one of them slipping spectacularly in her platform shoes, grazing her elbow. She pulls herself up, mustering the strength to tap Britney's shoulder. "Um, I'm from the South too," she mumbles, "and I was wondering if I could get a picture with you for my little sister."
Britney turns to Ghalib and grabs his arm. "I don't want her talking to me!" she screams. She whirls around and stares the girl deep in the eyes, her lips almost vibrating with anger. "I don't know who you think I am, bitch," she snarls, "but I'm not that person."

The Tears Redux
I cry at least as much as the next person, but this seems a little weird.
Someone calls Mrs. Clinton a champion of children in an obsequious introduction, and she actually cries? The day before the primary again? This is someone who does multiple public appearances a day, all of which feature a glowing tribute/introduction from a politician, celebrity, etc.--this is not someone who has never been lauded publicly.
Anyone?

It's quite possible I found this funny only because I am trying to avoid actual work, but I presume some of you find yourselves in similar circumstances, so....

Barack Obama: Opposed the war from the start and opposed the troop increase. Promises that as president he would immediately begin to remove U.S. troops. Would bring out one or two combat brigades per month until all were withdrawn within 16 months. Would keep some troops in Iraq to protect U.S. diplomats and to fight Al Qaeda if necessary.
Health care

Wheeeee!
.jpg)
For some reason I have several ridiculous pics, such as this one, of the Hof. My question (and challenge?) to you all - how many more are out there waiting to be discovered (and posted)?
I play music (soccer) too!
Hey All Those Effecting The Lake,
I'm in a new band. We're called the Symptoms. We have our first show next Friday 2/8 @ The Cobra Lounge.
It'll be the best 21 minutes of your week.
Hope to see you there-you might be well surprised at what you hear!
Thanks to Joey Garfield for the artwork.
