Thursdays Are For Pimping

I usually get to this earlier in the day, don't I? Seems like the entire week has been an uphill slog. Lots and lots of work, although I did have a nice dinner at Sarah and Dave's with Lea, Kae and Bex, followed by the ritual viewing of Top Chef All-Stars. It's not shaking out the way I expected, but I do have to admit I'm enjoying it. Also enjoyed Glee on Tuesday, even though I expected the original songs to completely drain the fun out of the show. Couldn't have been more wrong.

In the Telegram today, I put forward my nominees for who should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and Craig talks up the new R.E.M.

In TWSN, recommendations for Helmet, Joe Bonamassa, Yucky Octopus, Holmes, the Reduced Shakespeare Company and the Harlem Globetrotters.

In Radius, poems by Scott Wannberg and Jade Sylvan.

Lastly, was sorry to hear that Long Beach rapper pioneer Nate Dogg had died. RIP.
