FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SOMEONE PLEASE JAB A PENCIL IN MY EARS
I'm not sure if this is a regional television commercial, but Ford has an ad that features the song Beep! Beep! by the band 13 Stories. I have also heard the ad on the radio and several radio stations have begun playing the song.The song is ultra annoying. It is also disgustingly catchy. This song has worked its way into my tiny little brain and I find myself absentmindedly singing it.
And enjoying it.
And hating it.
And enjoying it.
Anyway, if you dare listen to the song, you can do so on the band's MySpace page. Just don't hold me responsible if you find yourself humming it tomorrow.
Punk Chag has officially moved out of my brain.
WEEKLY RANDOM THOUGHTS ON THE YANKEES
The New York Yankees went 1-4 this past week to start the season. Yikes!One week in the books and the Yankees are already three games behind Boston.
After putting up fifteen runs in their season-opening victory against Oakland, they have only amassed ten runs in their past four games, all of which were losses. Just like last year, if they're not scoring a lot of runs, they're not winning.
Can we officially put an end to the Jaret Wright experiment?
Looks like the Randy Johnson and Jorge Posada honeymoon is officially over as Kelly Stinnett was behind the plate for Johnson's Saturday night loss.
Have the Red Sox named Jonathan Papelbon their closer yet? The kid's made three appearances, earned two saves, and has struck out four over three hitless innings. And, oh yeah, he has a 0.00 ERA.
Speaking of closers, Mariano Rivera has yet to pitch for the Yankees this year.

THE OBLIGATORY SWEET JUNIPER! PORTION
I know. Every week in this space I seem to mention Sweet Juniper!. That's because it's one of my favorite sites. Dutch and Wood are extremely funny writers. They're also extremely caring and thoughtful people. Or at least they seem that way. This is the Internet. They could very well be two frat boys in Milwaukee, pulling the wool over all our eyes.Anyway.
Dutch posted twenty songs that are suitable for children but aren't necessarily made for children. Or in his words, "real music that your kids should enjoy." Give it a listen and throw out those Wiggles CDs!
