Mark Becker found guilty in death of high school coach Ed Thomas

Mark Becker found guilty in death of high school coach Ed Thomas:

For those unaware of the situation, Ed Thomas was a legendary high school coach in Parkersburg, Iowa. Beyond that he was an outstanding human being who almost single-handedly helped rebuild and rejuvenate the town of Parkersburg after it was nearly destroyed by a tornado a few years ago. He was sadly killed a few months ago by a young man with serious mental issues. The situation surrounding his death was unfortunate, but I believe the verdict was appropriate for a man that meant so much to his community.

kienan:

Matt was really excited about his free IHop triple stack this afternoon.

The waiter didn’t charge us for our watery coffee and we left without throwing up.

My 2 favorite words combined: Free Pancakes!

Just to make you feel even worse about your own atheletic abilities, former Pittsburgh Pirate Dock Ellis describes his 1971 no-hitter. Whats that? No big deal? Didn’t I mention he pitched the whole game on LSD? Oh, I thought I’d said that already…

Oh yeah, I forgot my last album for my “best of 2009” list…um, can’t really decide which I like best so we’ll go with Discovery’s LP. It’s an indietronica side project from members of Ra Ra Riot and Vampire Weekend. And if you think I took that sentence directly from Wikipedia you’re wrong.

Japandroids - Post-Nothing

This album hit me just right in 2009. I think a lot of lo-fi/garage-type bands these days are trying too hard to engineer a specific sound and style, but not Japandroids. As they blast out catchy riffs using little more than drums and a distorted guitar, I get the impression that they are genuinely having fun as they play. The ‘don’t-give-a-fuck’ attitude makes their music entertaining and exciting in a way that few albums have in recent memory. This duo made one of, if not my favorite album of the year, let’s hope they go back and record in the garage soon.

Must Hear: The Boys Are Leaving Town, Young Hearts Spark Fire, Crazy / Forever

Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion

This is probably the most obvious choice of the year. Embarrasingly though, this is the first Animal Collective album I ever got (chorus of boos). It didn’t take more than a few tracks for me to fall head over heels for this masterpiece of experimental indie rock (or however you try and fail to catagorize them). The songs are expansive and complex in a way that never seems overbearing. It’s beautiful, it’s genius, it’s epic, it rocked the shit out of 2009.

Must Hear: My Girls, Summertime Clothes, Guys Eyes

sidenote: For unknown reasons, I didn’t listen to Julian Casablanca’s Phrazes For The Young until 12/31. Had I listened to it a little earlier and given myself time to digest it, it would have likely found its way onto my year end list.
