Quick hitters 2/22

Things That Are Good

-The new Radiohead CD, 'King of Limbs.'
While only running 8 tracks, 2 or 3 of them are spectacular (see: Lotus Flower, Codex). Pay them their $9 guilt free with the knowledge no greedy record label will prosper from it.

-While on the topic, Thom Yorke's dance for the 'Lotus Flower' music video trended worldwide on Twitter for about 3 straight days. Check it out here.

-The Pens acquisitions of James Neal & Matt Niskanen for Alex Goligoski.
Goligoski was decent offensively, but never seemed to exude or execute with the confidence Letang finally grew into. Neal is only 23, and if he can score goals for dallas, he can certainly do it for the Pens. Niskanen seems solid, the jury is still out on him. Stats for Neal here.

-Putting my teenage CD collection up for sale.
I can't remember the last time I paid money for a CD, but it has been at least 2-3 years. I don't think that people of this day and age will hold the same nostalgia for CDs that they did for records, and I gotta get rid of these puppies while I can.
For a good laugh, check out the list of them. Please buy them.

-Pamelas.
Any of the multiple locations around Pittsburgh. No-nonesense, awesome food. Would be Ron Swanson's kind of place.


Things That Are Not Good

-Pittsburgh's idea of snow removal.
Apparently it took over four hours for some people to get home from the Pens game. Was this storm really that sudden?

-The fact that Justin Bieber trends on twitter as often as revolutions in Egypt, The 'Threat Level Midnight Episode of The Office,' and national news. Do jaded pre-teen girls really take it personally that some things might take priority over a canadian she-male pop sensation?

-Borders going out of business.
Catch 22: Quality store being put out by other things I love. See: The Kindle, Amazon.com. Another cause: The public's startling lack of interest in reading.

-No 'Mad Men' anytime soon?
