Seether, Incubus, BNL :cry:, The Shins, OK go. I'm mostly alternative, I guess

They are all crazy. Emma won't eat unless Ben is eating also. She is the alpha though. She doesn't like going outside without him either. It's weird. And she must attack him when he comes into the house.

Not a baseball fan

[mvd]

6. Hi, BarenakedLady

I would add the Shins. I know people are probably wondering how some in my list are pop artists, but I consider all of them in a pop style, loosely speaking. That would also include some I forgot - Leslie Mills and the Rolling Stones among them.

My cat, Leo, doesn't meow-- he creaks, like a squeaky door hinge.

5. Baseball season is starting soon. What do you think will be your favorite team's record?
With the Twins, it's anyone's guess. But it is their last season in the Metrodome, before they move to their new outdoor stadium next year.

I guess it’s the Dodgers. Although I’m really not a baseball fan. In late summer I notice that they aren’t doing well and bemoan the fact that yet again I didn’t go to a game this year. At least in the past I’ve done this.
As for their record? Not quite good enough?

At least you can remember that list well. ;-)

For some reason, I always forget Alanis, one of the biggest pop stars of the 90s.

[nickgutierrez]

12. My answers:

1. None, and if we ever got snow here, I'd fear for the planet.

2. Scrambled before noon, boiled after.

3. Changes a lot - right now, Animal Collective, Bishop Allen, and Loney Dear own my music listening time.

4. My dog thinks he can talk. He'll stand there really close to two or three people having a conversation, hear a word or two that sounds like something he recognizes, and do something akin to a yawn/scream type thing with his voice. He's an odd one. :)

5. Yankees: 97-65; Marlins: 80-82, better only if they find a few useful pitchers.

[mvd]

Unfortunately, I can't buy all the ones I'd like to try out without knowing more.
