Heart Problems (Day 198)

Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - "We Can't Help You"

Tokyo Police Club - "Sixties Remake"

Aimee Mann - "Phoenix"

Ted Leo & The Pharmacists - "Heart Problems"
Short one today and not much to say, but I do want to keep the ball rolling. One update: Since this blog does occasionally dip into my baseball rooting interests I will acknowledge I'm clearly not happy with the 10-13 New York Mets. Sure the starting pitching sucks (I'm looking at you Oliver Perez) and the absolutely can not buy a hit with runners in scoring position, but there's still too much talent not to compete. Much of the NYC media/blogosphere is saying the team lacks a a killer instinct, as in the team has "heart problems." (See, I'm always bringing it back to the music, y'all!) I'm going to give them a pass for April: Still trying to figure out the new ballpark, WBC training/preparedness issues, etc. But it's now May 4. String together a few wins, will ya! I can't take another summer of over-priced, mediocre baseball. And no amount of Shake Shack burgers are going to make things right. Although, they can't hurt.

That burger looks redunkulous and may explain why one would have heart problems.

I wouldn't worry about the Mets. I mean, every year they're leading the division for most of the year only to lose it on the last day. So, maybe this year will be different.

Blaming the WBC is the last refuge of a coward.
