Tumblr Etiquette Question?

Is it appropriate to “like” (click the heart) a post that is kind of a downer, such as the story today about Steve McNair getting murdered. While I obviously do not “like” the fact he got murdered, I would still like to give whoever posted it props for tipping me off to the story.

Whats the call here people?

I feel like we need a “thanks” button up in that right hand corner. And while we’re at it lets throw a “hate/dislike” button up there too.

“Thanks”

U2 “4th of July”

(via Wikipedia)

4th of July” is the sixth track from U2’s 1984 album, The Unforgettable Fire. The song is an instrumental track and has never been performed live, although Adam Clayton did play it as a warm-up during a soundcheck before U2’s concert in San Jose on 20 April 2001 [1]. It is the only “ambient” track that U2 have ever released, featuring the co-work, the trademark and the style of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.

In fact, “4th of July” came about almost entirely through a moment of inspiration from Eno. At the end of a studio session, Eno happened to overhear Adam Clayton doodling on a simple bass figure; he liked what he was hearing, so recorded it ad hoc as it was being played. Guitarist The Edge happened to join in, improvising a few guitar ideas over the top of Clayton’s bass; neither knew they were being recorded. Eno added some treatments and then transferred the piece straight to two-track master tape—and that was the song finished, with no possibility of further overdubs.[1]

It is the only instrumental song on a regular full-length U2 album (not including Original Soundtracks 1). It was frequently used as the last song played before U2 took the stage during the Unforgettable Fire Tour.

The song is regularly played on Music Choice’s “Sounds of the Seasons” channel when playing patriotic music in the days leading to (and during) the “4th of July” holiday.

Maybe the best scene in movie history. If this doesn’t make you want to go kill Aliens to save the world I don’t know what will.

Happy Independence Day!

"All because of you
I believe in angels.
Not the kind with wings,
no, not the kind with halos;
the kind that bring you home
when home becomes a strange place.
I’ll follow your voice;
all you have to do is
shout it out!"

I don’t make everything die. Indie and Billy Mays both dying was clearly a coinsidence. RIP Billy.
I had nothing to do with MJ and Farrah.

Kevin Begley with Steve Jones on the show “Pitchmen”, where they interviewed the late Billy Mays, for the radio program “Jonesy’s Jukebox” on the late Indie 103.1.
Stop making everything die, Begs.

I’m such a sucker for these low style ankle boots that girls wear. Not only do they look super hot, it’s just a great style and looks awesome. If I was a chick I would wear these always.

Really great segment on Last Call with Carson Daly last week with Jason Bentley, host of Morning Becomes Eclectic on KCRW here in Los Angeles. Carson and Jason are both radio guys so as a radio nerd myself, watching them talking radio is awesome to watch.

Also, I’m really digging this new documentery type format Carson is doing with his show instead of the sitdown at a desk in a suit late night format. This style fits him and his personality much much better. Carson has a ton of talent and is a great dude. Check out the show sometime if you are up at 1:35am or watch it online anytime. Link coming in 5…4…3…2… Last Call
