Driver crashes into same house (hilarious news tidbit)
This is off of my university's email/event calendar thing that I log into, so I can't link to it, but I copied and pasted, so you'll just have to take my word that it's real. :P Driver crashes into same house HIGHTOWN, England, July 8 (UPI) -- A British driver has earned a rather odd claim to fame by crashing into the same house for the second time on the same day of the year. To compound the co-incidence, the same tow truck with the same driver came to haul the wreckage away in the town of Hightown where home owner Gordon White was left stunned, the Daily Mirror reported Thursday. White returned last Tuesday to find a car had crashed into his home, similar to the accident on the same July 6th of last year. Fireman Terry Kirby at the site, said: "I attended a similar incident a year ago to the day when a car had gone across the road and into the front of the same house. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the driver and realized it was the same bloke." On both occasions, White had been out at the time of the incident. Eric Williams, 60, the driver of the car, is believed to have suffered a blackout before both accidents. He was treated for cuts and bruises. "I don't drive very often," the father of four said later. "It's only the second time I've passed out," he added.

modest mouse is coming to my town
Well, their studio records are all right... But I saw them about two years ago and I thought they were terrible live, so my recommendation is no. :P

(bass) cabinets and heads
Tou need both. That's why amps that have both in the same casing are called "combo" amps. And there's a lot to do with voltage and whatnot that basically means that you can't just put any amp head with any speaker cabinet, but I don't really feel like getting into that. :P

Worst Covers
I thought of another one: Alient Ant Farm - "Smooth Criminal" (Michael Jackson) Apparently somebody forgot to tell them that stupid novelty covers are the quickest way to "one-hit-wonder" status. :lol: (case-in-point: anybody have any Orgy albums other than the one with "Blue Monday" on it?)

Songs that NEED TO BE COVERED!
That's exactly how I felt about them. I liked The Man Who for a few days, then just put it away and never bothered with it again. I don't think they're bad, I just find them extremely uninteresting.

BRAIN OVERLOAD.
That could be a major problem. :sick:

Songs that NEED TO BE COVERED!
haha! well... they kinda turned poop before the Man Who but close enough. :P

BRAIN OVERLOAD.
Maybe you should have spent less time winning jujubes and more time absorbing information. :P My University orientation was soooo boring. And I didn't need to know most of the stuff that they were trying to tell me anyway. At least that's how I remember it.
