I never remember what this actually was, just our two-man nickname from Mr. Fawcett. Ah, those were the days.
NOW FOR SERIOUS IMPORTANT BUSINESS
ROFL. What's up? Don't worry, despite my recent lack of DW writins, I am still producing a 2007 Best Of list (and other projects are in the works!). You can peruse the early-bird entries from my boss Rob Duffy here and from Population: Doug's own Doug Elliott here. I have no idea what records these gents are talking about, but I'm sure they're great.
Did somebody say JENT?!?
Ha. Anyhoo, it's another year where my year-end review is complicated by important-ish hip-hop releases (and no, Lupe, not gonna wait for yours, sorry). So I'm trying to make heads or tails of a bunch of records that I should have listened to months ago and hope to emerge at (OR BEFORE) the end of the year with a list I can stand behind. That'll be the day. Of course, my sturdy and reliable home internet access is currently neither, so that could complicate matters. It has also stopped me from a great deal of e-reading and downloading (I see you, RIAA!), so there's probably other good shit dropping right now that I do not have enough time to review. Best-of lists should be posted in March or something, nawmean?
RIP Ike Turner, 1931-2007
Full story here. It's sad that his (rightfully deserved) bad reputation will sully the public's view of his death, as he did give the world a bounty of groundbreaking music.
Sorry to end on a downer. Thanks for reading!

Capt. Huffenpuff was a straight chump. Sorry. You don't really seem to care much, though. I remember Fawcett calling you guys that though. Whenever I run into him I hope he'll ask, "What are Beany and Cecil up to?" so I can say, "NOTHING YOU IDIOT, BEANY AND CECIL ARE DEAD! THEy'RE DOWN IN MY BASEMENT."
Glad to see the blog back.
Is your b-day the 19th? I thought it was the 18th. Jonathan will have my hyde for this date rearranging CATastrophe! ZOINKS! And am I Beany or Cecil?
Wow! Thanks for commenting, dudes.
Dave, my birthday is the 19th, the rest of this thought will travel to your blog...Also, I think it really was a two-man nickname. I don't remember any identification of us separately, just the two of us being "Beany and Cecil."
Andy, like I (not so clearly) said, I don't have much of a concept of that cartoon, so I just think the names are funny and that's about it. Don't know no shit bout no Capt. Huffenpuff.
Lee, you talking about Tina? I'm confused.
I am talking about Tina. Everybody gushed over Nixon when he died, why not Ike?
Fuck Ike. He's only like, the third best Ike of his own century anyway.
