    On That Note: Nobody Does It Better

    Definitely a great song, and this was the song I was thinking about when I asked about covers. From Radiohead:

    On That Note: Nobody Does It Better

    Are we allowing covers of Bond songs or just the originals?

    Friday OT - Computer Personality

    I'm more PC because that what I get at work. I'd like to have a Mac for work. I do have a Mac at home, but I spend way more time on my work computer.

    Yes! The Pixies.

    Friday OT #2 - It’s Too Late, Baby

    I'm more mid-maintenance. I'm getting up in front of people, so that means more thought than just whatever is clean, but it's not a formal presentation to my superiors most days, so it doesn't have to be that fancy (also students are showing up in sweat pants).

    WVU Appears to be in Trouble

    Having spent some solid time in WV, I'd say it's more on par to compare it to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Beautiful areas with abandoned towns after the mining ran out.

    WVU Appears to be in Trouble

    Yikes. I've definitely run into those students who were thinking 2+2 would work in STEM until they found out that starting at college algebra isn't going to cut it, and they had to spend 2 years in math before they could take an engineering course. It is hard to beat the small size of lectures...

    Iowa has the same system (common course numbering) and I regularly teach chem courses that transfer to all 3 regent institutions.

    Friday OT #1 - This Ain’t No Miss Club, or CBGB

    Also, love what I assume is a Talking Heads reference @Angie. If anyone hasn't seen the re-release of Stop Making Sense, you need to go. https://tickets.stopmakingsense.movie/

    Friday OT #1 - This Ain’t No Miss Club, or CBGB

    I saw the Mountain Goats this past summer on 4th of July, and someone from the venue decided to hike their way up into the corn field and light off some fireworks.

    Friday OT #1 - This Ain’t No Miss Club, or CBGB

    Codfish Hollow is my favorite venue in Iowa to see a band. The quintessential quirky spot, it's got everything: parking in a field (where you can camp as well), a barn where the show is, a ride in an old bus that you hope holds together down the hill, a dude in a cowboy hat who announces shows...

    I felt so bad for Lynn. You could tell that he didn't have his stuff tonight. Initially the fourth one was ruled foul, and then the dude crushed the next pitch out.

    Friday OT - Musica Obscura

    I went to undergrad at Eau Claire. Grew up in Chippewa Falls, just up the road a piece.

    Friday OT - Musica Obscura

    I was at the one at the Target Center in Minneapolis. I grew up 2 hours east of there, so that was the go to for big shows.
