i'm sure they're all big-shot professors by now...

a few months ago i went on record to opine that google was a poor long-term investment. but then i awakened this morning to hear the song below on commercial radio, which tells me that googs got a heckuva bargain when they purchased youtube for 1.65 million. maybe i'll change my rating from hold to outperform.

youtube is beautiful and maketh us smile, and i'll cop to doing periodic searches to see whether any clips from my creepy adolescent basement band ever miraculously appear online. thus far, i've yet to find any surviving audio or video for the habbit, but i'll keep checking. in the meantime, i can assure you that -- on our very best day -- we looked and sounded a little something like this...

and yes, friends, that does sound a lot like one of my guitar solos.

Nice pic! Zippered jeans, pointy Ibanez, woods, and the "I just killed my best friends' parents" look on your face. I hope you've seen the gallery of band pix at rockandrollconfidential.com?

I'm not familiar with Sabertooth, but I know from reading Ted's site that he plays with them. If you're interested, check out Ted's latest, "Breeding Resistance" -- strong Mingus-style composition with bits of Fela's Afrobeat and reggae, and a hard-edged political tone. It's one of my faves of the last year.
