In re: Godin - Awesome!   I was really pleased with the play feel myself.

Fuck You! by the Cee Lo gentleman has been stuck in my head for about a week. It makes for an interesting week when Im secretly singing "so fuck you, fuck fuck you" in my head during work conversations.

Did you see the ASL version I posted in the YouTube thread? That was fun.

The New TV on the Radio is great!

I accidently got into these guys.  The second time I saw them live, I was like "They guys are pretty great!"

New Cass McCombs is wonderful. I think so far it's only been released in the UK, but I have a[n internet] connection.

Sorry if I already shared this, but it's great: http://soundcloud.com/dominorecordco/cass-mccombs-county-line

I just watched the Rocky Erickson documentary, and now I can't stop listening to You're Gonna Miss Me. Hoo boy. I also just passed the point in listening to that album where I have realized started really loving a lot of the songs I didn't like too much at first.

I went to school with the niece of Terry Chambers (XTC drummer). True story.

God I love XTC. The only good thing to ever emerge from Swindon

It has a Magic Roundabout.

[side_show]

Oh, man, we got some fairly simple round about's in my city last year, and  you should see the way people lost their shit over it.  Sad.

[theinevitable]

there is a kind-of-roundabout near my house, and I have seen more people go around it clockwise than counter-clockwise.

[Choop]

when i lived in tampa, they put a roundabout in clearwater. before i moved out of tampa, they replaced the roundabout with a traffic light.


i lived in tampa for three years.

We've got a few roundabouts here in Houston.  I used to think roundabouts were silly, but now I think they are pretty cool.

[Choop]

they really do handle traffic better, once the locals get used to them. tourists can never handle roundabouts unless they have a few locally.

[Doc]

Are round abouts really that rare in the US?
I heard something anecdotally a while ago that city planning types like them because you get less accidents at round abouts than traffic lights, because it's harder to just plough through I suppose.

Are round abouts really that rare in the US?

Depends on the area I think, but mostly yes. I don't understand what the big deal is though. I think people hear horror stories about driving in Paris. They put in a couple near where I grew up recently, and my dad was annoyed at first but then was impressed by how much the traffic situation improved. They have a few out here but mostly in areas that never had traffic problems to begin with.

That's what I've heard. Intersections with traffic lights and stop signs are dangerous and inefficient, and roundabouts are relatively cheap and effective solutions. But yeah, just what I've heard anecdotally. I don't have any numbers.
