Sneaky Bastards

So the other day, Wednesday to be exact, I ate at Burger King for lunch. Note that I rarely eat fast food because, well, the shit just ain't good for 'ya...but I was in a hurry and I needed something 'fast.' This is where the 'sneaky bastards' part comes in. I went through the drive thru and ordered the number five...it's the angus burger with fries and a drink. The price is $5.39, I think...could be a couple dimes more. Anyway, after I made my order the person on the other end of the intercom asks me "what size would you like, the large or super-size?" By asking "what size would you like," rather that "would you like to get the large or king size for x-cents more," it immediately becomes a trick question. He/she asks as if those are my only two options and if I respond "large," assuming that is the original size I ordered, then I will get charged and extra $0.40 and an extra $0.65 for the king-size. So, just in case i've managed to confuse the hell out of you here's the bottom line: if you go to Burger King and you don't want the large or king size, when asked, make sure you say "neither, just the regular size is fine." But, before you go, make sure you look at THIS, it might change your mind.

Rotation for the week of 04-16-07

Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA
When I was a kid, '84 I think, I remember begging my mom for a red hat so I could put it in my back pocket like the cover of this album. I guess I thought that was cool. Never did get the hat...oh well. Anyway, you can't go wrong with The Boss--I think everyone should own this album.

The Supertones - The Supertones Are Go!
For the last 12-15 years i've always had at least one surf album on rotation, the majority of that being Laika & the Cosmonauts or Dick Dale. But, thanks to some friendly conversations over at SurfGuitar101.com i've found some more tunes to enjoy. The Supertones are pretty awesome and I can't stop listening to this CD.

The Toadies - Rubberneck
This is one of those CD's I think i'll listen to forever. Funny thing, i've seen the Toadies five times, but only once intentionally. The other four times they were added to the bill after I had already bout tickets to whatever show it was. The Butthole Surfers/Rev. Horton Heat/Toadies show was one of the best, even though I left halfway through BHS. These guys fuckin' rock live.

Witch - Witch
Stoner rock, dude. Dude, J Mascis form Dino Jr plays drums in this band and...dude...it's fuckin' rad dude. Fuckin-A man. You gotta check it out dude, it'll like, blow your mind dude. Huh huh, I said blow...huh huh. Dude.

***

I finally quit listening to BlocParty. Good stuff but I need some variety. I also bought an Elton John CD -- damn, that guy writes some great songs.
