Normally, I wouldn’t think twice about the tip jar at Starbucks. Maybe if I ordered some kind of mocha chocha skim half caf non-whip whipped something, perhaps. But for my small (not tall) regular coffee, the tip jar is strictly for suckers.
However, if before the baristadore passes you your coffee, he writes something like this on a piece of paper and slips it over to you, just moments before you’re to scheduled to meet someone special, that is indeed worth a buck in the cup.
I think I need to take a lesson from Taio Cruz and aspire to his lifestyle of heart breakery, rather than the much-closer-to-home-on-several-levels Wilco variety. It just looks way more funner.
Alas, I am what I am…
I hope I’m in the audience, one night soon, when Jeff Tweedy and company are performing their song and spontaneously bust out some momentary beats, covering Cruz in a live mash-up. That would be rad.
(Dear Wilco, you can email me here when you plan on jumping on said rad suggestion so that I don’t miss it. Please please please let me get what I want. Thanks! ~Adam Joe)
This cool Wilco rariety shuffled across my way this morning, reminding me of the days when I first got into the band. I don’t know if today’s Wilco would still perform Texas Tornado covers, but seeing as how they’re inclined to sport some rockin’ Nudie Suits, they might.
Wilco – Who Were You Thinking Of
If you’re not familiar with the Tornados, maybe you’ve seen the golf flick Tin Cup? This next song was featured in that movie, and seems to embody the overall feel of the film pretty well… and makes me want to see it again now that I hear it. OK, I need to bail and visit my Netflix queue. Later!
Texas Tornados – Little Bit Is Better Than Nada
If you’ve ever wondered what made them look at Christian Bale and think, “There’s our next Batman!” here you go…
It’s a pretty awesome fit, actually. Kudos to the person who put that lil mash-up together. (Your friend’s right. Way to go, Nicole, where ever you are). Here’s the actual clip from 1992′s Newsies.
And no matter how many times you watch that original clip, or anything else today, Lady Gaga is going to be in your head for the next 24 hours. Good night, Kids!
