New Digs
There have been some big changes around here. Thanks to David, the Festival is now hosted with a new company and running a newer version of MovableType. You shouldn't notice any difference on your end, but rumor has it that I will be able to track site visit statistics.
I'm also thinking of redesigning the site. Although I abhor the common web practice of redesign for the sake of redesign, it feels like a good time for a change. Does anyone have any cool features they'd like to see added?
A big fuss was made over Ashlee Simpson's debacle on SNL a few months ago when the PA system started blaring what apparently was the vocal lip sync track for the song she "sung" earlier in the program. Nobody seems to be up in arms over Gwen Stefani's performance on last night's show, which was not as painfully embarassing as Simpson's but still was an obviously lip-synched effort. The vocals on "Rich Girl" were *way* too clean and layered for a live performance, and often did not seem to match Ms. Stefani's mouth movements.

Were you thinking of .NET to do auto stats for your football picks with Lucas? that would be neat.

I said the same thing to Michael and David when we were watching SNL. I don't think all of the song was lip-synched, but the chorus definitely was. So lwe're only supposed to be upset when the lip-synched performance gets botched and not upset about the lip-synching itself, I guess?
And I question the choice of her singing "Hollaback Girl," which, while mostly an OK song, is filled with expletives and thus doesn't sound so hot live. And there's the whole matter of the lyric "The &*%^ is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" which is probably one of the lamest things I've ever heard.
