Ten Years After

The Blues is a funny genre in that no matter how much it changes, it can always be reduced to an incredibly simple formula. Electric Blues also abides by this rule; don't let those fuckers in the Black Keys fool you, ever since B.B. King and Howlin Wolf stepped onstage in Chicago shit has changed.

Alvin Lee, Lead Guitarist and Vocalist, of Ten Years After seems dutifully aware of this situation. Most critics regard the album Watt as mediocre at best, citing another album Cricklewood Green, as a more inventive and complete work of Electric Blues. Since we are all entitled to our own opinions on these matters, I thought I'd let you all decide for yourselves. So without futher hullabaloo, I present it to you.

W-TYA

Arthur

Maybe you really enjoyed watching PBS as a child; Mom and Dad were not willing to wash away your mind in the wild seas of basic cable packages, or for the lucky few with premium access, an eddy that would make Whoopi Goldberg blush.



Perhaps you have an utter fascination with television programs that never aired in the year 1969. You went to a 4 year university where, for a little while after the fact, you're wondering when you're ever gonna leave the womb. Is all vague writing just projections of the self? Don't worry yourself with these questions too much, who has the time to fool around when there are real CRISES out there to be solved!?!!? Wait, we can't solve them immediately, and there is crazy shit going down worldwide. Damn.

Might as well relax and take this for a spin;

Growth

Huelva has its fair share of problems; I'll "highlight" the seemingly worst aspect of living here, which is pollution.



There is a growing group of concerned citizens about the amount of runoff the factories are aloud to stream in to the local rivers; affecting the water supply, as well as damaging wildlife habitats.

With a team like Recreativo in town, it does seem like something is wrong with this place.

An important moment in the history of bacon


Spain is a sea of Jamón y Queso
and I am bound to drizzown

There is no denying these
inevitabilities these days
Jamón York y Queso

Reynault told me
that Vicky Christina Barcelona
Was a Stupid Movie
Maybe he´s on to something

My brain is no longer
malfunctioning
clarity, sweet clarity

Bo!

I hate me right now, but I think I am working on something better than this

The bigger they come

Ten Talking points:

-The Atlanta Hawks are looking good because of defense. Perhaps the influence of Randolph Morris cannot be ignored for too long; even if he has 3 DNP-CDs on the year.

-Aaron Brooks has real talent, and everyday I wish he could just be inserted in to the starting lineup and replace Rafer Alston.

-Puerto Rico has produced many fine NBA players over the years, but none of them have won NBA championships.

-Japan has produced one NBA player, and he was a pretty mediocre third string point guard.

-There was a ridiculous amount of jewery in the NBA back in the day.

-Spain is producing NBA players at an alarming rate; Casual masturbation to Ricky Rubio vids all day it seems.

-Has Eastern Europe hit its peak of NBA ready big men? Mile Ilic, who plays ok for the ACB squad Unicaja, just might miss his time in East Rutherford.

-Stanford produced less douchebag white-stars on the court than Duke has in the last 20 years, but that's not really saying all that much.

-This might just be the year that Amaré Stoudemire drops 60+ in a game.

-Greg Oden is gonna be ooook.

WHAT IS THAT YOU SAY!'!??!?

Iverson to Detroit; I feel like this is a trade that was speculated on two years ago when the Nuggets pulled the trigger as well. Imagine, if you will, Billups and Mcdyess in Philly with Brand, Iguadola, Thaddeus Young, and Lou Williams. Damn, Ed Stefanski, you're still doing a good job.

In other news, it turns out there is an election today. So if you haven't voted, then we have a problem. In other news, civil society is due to replace government any day now. If you are all having problems coping with the economy and other crises of self, I suggest you rent the movie King of the Hill; while unrelated to the Mike Judd serial cartoon, it offers an intriguing glimpse at life during the great depression for a middle class family.

I watched the EuroLeague top 10 on ESPN.com and I think that the highlight package was designed to make it seem like the NBA is light years ahead. The number 1 highlight was a guy from Maccabi Tel Aviv dunking uncontested off a decent dime from Carlos Arroyo; I think Matt Bonner has made more exciting plays than this, this worries me greatly.

Are MAcs becoming more vulnerable to online viruses? Let's do some reading!

Thanks about.com!

The teachers here at my school are all excited for the possiblity of an Obama White House. They seem him as being able to facilitate a dialogue between the US and abroad. Can he succeed in the same way with the American people? I think so!

Two takeaway lessons from the election:

-Sound Bytes are a thorn in any aspiring politicians side, but finally great speeches are making a comeback!
-Pick your issue, just make sure to define it.

Previewing the EP I've been working on

I need one of these.

Here are some things that everyone should know about Huelva:

-Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney came here back in the day and erected dozens of sculptures around the city.
-The East Side is where the action is.
-There is an old man who lives in a shack under a highway overpass named, el portugés, who sells bikes, but it is unclear when he will have a bike for you. He will happily demonstrate with a magnet that he only sells frames made out of quality alloys.
-There is a nightclub called FAma, where I have yet to go, because I cannot bring myself to stay up late listening to music that is popular here.
-We had a party on Halloween, it was a great success.
The Japanese word for 'bread' is pan; coincidence, I think not.

CHYEAH

OBAMA:Big in Japan
Sad News

lo cobro

If you've got time, learn to play tell me why by Neil Young.

Huelva has shitty nightlife, but pending a small excursion tonight, I may have found my bar of choice. STay tuned!

Dead Eye

JJ Reddick 0-8 from the field on the season.

Adam Morrison can rest a little easier at night.

Gerald Wallace, like Kevin Garnett before him, seems like an old man inside of an incredibly athletic young man's body.

Walter Hermman: Doesn't eat empanadas stateside, but prefers the NBA to the ACB one-hundo percent.

Hilton Armstrong dunked the ball several times today; the hill people of New Orleans embraced their back-up center's gall. I envision the Hornets trying to get Chandler as much rest as possible so that they can make and sustain a big push at the end of the season.

Greg Oden should smoke some weed like Bill Walton still probably does.

Rodney Harrison's career RIP; journalists can't take away the championships, try as they may with their creepy elfish hands.
