Drinking games and Segredo

Remember me? Tame Impala covering Blueboy’s remix of Marlena Shaw’s ‘Woman of the Ghetto’. Next week: Wu Tang remixed with Magical Mystery Tour. Music is great. You can’t do this with movies or painting etc…oh wait, there is definitely a Rothko/Rembrandt mash up somewhere out there. Isn’t there?

-The U.K. announced new laws banning drinking games. I wonder how something like this would go down in Madison. The ‘dentist chair’ game is quite crude, it reminds me of the one from Ireland called ’1, 2, 3′. During my travels I noticed drinking games are one of those things Americans truly do best. Whether this is good or not is obviously in the eye of the beholder. I’m just saying that ‘quarters’, ‘beer pong’, or ‘wizards’ add to the complex layers of drinking culture in a way that shotgunning doesn’t.

-C’mon who isn’t a little curious to venture into Segredo, the new botique bowling alley which replaced Mad Ave? I like how the article doesn’t shy away from calling Mad Ave. unsafe. Don’t go on Wednesday though. “You got a date Wednesday, baby!”

-Being a Vikings fan is worth $530.65. Being a Packers fan? Still priceless, because when the city owns the team it probably won’t threaten to move.

-Hey, if you thought that health care reform was going to benefit profit-driven healthcare providers more than our current system, why do healthcare share prices rise when it looks like democrats may commit political suicide by scuttling the plan.

-Chait at T.N.R. dug this up:the ramifications of electing Republicans. Do we want to go back to that? Really, America?
