I am listening to the iTunes clips for their Prog Rock essentials. If you're not familiar, they have lots of playlists you can buy for different artists and genres, so you can get the Essential Phil Collins (which I assume is just a cyanide capsule) or the Essential Parody Songs (which is why I've had Shaddup You Face stuck in my head for the last few weeks) or whatever.
Anyway, their Prog Rock essentials is loaded with Yes, Genesis, Rush, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd... Upon listening to the clips (and granted, they're only thirty second clips), I feel safe in saying that this might be the soundtrack to my own personal Hell. The only reason that they're not on my standard list of musical hatred next to Phil Collins, Jimmy Buffett, Dave Matthews, etc. is because I've mostly managed to avoid them for most of my life, which you just can't do with Jimmy Buffett. Jimmy Buffett will follow you everywhere. Jimmy Buffett followed me to Germany. Just when I think I've managed to shake Jimmy Buffett, he comes out of a dark alley and stabs me in the ear with his salt-rimmed shiv of a voice while his parrot smokes a joint and acts cooler than he is.
Anyway, this isn't about Jimmy Buffett. This is about Prog Rock (although they have that suck thing in common). Oh, and Aqualung is THAT song? That song sucks, so it kind of makes sense, but I though Jethro Tull always had flute. You learn about something new that sucks every day!
And, yes, I did just rant against the suckiness of Buffett and Tull in the same post that I admitted that I've been listening to Shaddap You Face. I never said that I made sense.

Aaaaaaaanyway, I just wanted to say that Monday the 11th will be the fourth anniversary of the "best by" date on the lemon juice in our fridge. It seems like only yesterday...
