Monday's music - men with guitars, sort of

They're not Jonathan Coulton, but I have this sense that many of you JC fans will enjoy the whacked-out lyrics and vaguely disturbing video. If you like this one, there are several more Mountain Goats tunes for watching in the "Related Videos" section. This one is my favorite though.

Mike Snow (who I feel like I've talked about here before) also isn't one-guy-with-a-guitar but give this track a listen and see if it doesn't move you in some of the same ways. Snow also has a bunch of tracks up for listening on RCRD_LBL. You can find five mixes of this track (Animal) though again this is my favorite.

And finally to round out our men and not-entirely-guitars trio there's this weird little mashed-up piano ballad. No, really.

Marking a cooking moment

This weekend was characterized by exhausting amounts of really bad kid behavior. I don't know what's gotten into the two of them but I wish it would get out. Like, now.

Plus moments included the kids doing a lemonade stand and charming the dollars out of everyone in sight. Apparently someone threw a $20 at them, for some reason. I'm sort of disturbed by this, as I don't want them to think they can get money by being cute at strangers. That's got all kinds of bad associations.

Anyway, what I really came to note was that Sunday night - with a little help and the use of a cookbook he inherited from his grandmother - K cooked a couple chickens to feed the family and the visiting gamers. He did pretty good for 9 years old.
