Here's a short list of artists I've been listening to over the last week or so. Click for additional stats on what else I like lately.

On the upstairs porch, at the Mansion on Judges Hill, Austin, TX, 11/9/07. Lonestar beer is the local swill, and is comparable to a Pabst, Stroh's, etc.

Dick Vitale's ESPN Page

Can we just talk briefly about this page? In the midst of all the ESPN page overhauls this one some how got left in 1997. Look at the old school link stylings on the left. Look at the amazingly pixelated photo at the bottom of the left sidebar! Is this a joke? And the "you are getting verrrry sleeeepy" graphic in the header? This whole page design is one gigantic pile of WTF, and I'm not even talking about the content.

And just in case you think I'm kidding about this looking 1997, here is a CNN page from that year. I love how CNN retains the look of their pages when they're archived.

His choice in web design directly correlates to his love for old school coaching tactics a la Robert Montgomery Knight.

Haha, seriously. I'm surprised his page is not Subtitled:

"When is Indiana University going to rename Assembly Hall, Robert Montgomery Knight Assembly Hall?"

I think Dick Vitale says this at every game. Not just IU games, but EVERY game.
