IРІР‚в„ўm wincing, didnРІР‚в„ўt that fake drum sound hit the airwaves in the early eighties? With rockers giving up on it eons ago, why is it so dominant on todayРІР‚в„ўs Top Forty? God, itРІР‚в„ўs almost only about the beat. No wonder CliveРІР‚в„ўs acts are never remembered, why they donРІР‚в„ўt sell any product in the future, theyРІР‚в„ўre not ORIGINAL! They donРІР‚в„ўt break ground, they just refine whatРІР‚в„ўs already been done. And all I could hear was the thundering bottom, just like every other record on the Top Forty. Yesterday I heard Alicia KeysРІР‚в„ў hit track 'No One' on the radio. And IРІР‚в„ўm clicking around, and IРІР‚в„ўm thinking to myself this number, itРІР‚в„ўs EXQUISITE! And IРІР‚в„ўm not even bothered that much by the Flash, since it doesnРІР‚в„ўt take that long, and thereРІР‚в„ўs a numbered countdown (or up, to be completely accurate). Once at, I clicked on the left-hand icon, to enter the Pete Droge Online Presence, and while I was waiting for the Flash to load the images a song started playing, which normally pisses me off, but this number, it was soothing me. I went to the site to find out if 'Going Whichever Way The Wind Blows' was an oldie or a new song. You can read all about it at (or go to you end up at the same place). HeРІР‚в„ўs been ensconced in Seattle, working on a zillion projects under the moniker Puzzle Tree Music. Remember that guy from Pearls Before Swine, Tom Rapp? HeРІР‚в„ўs now an attorney. I figured Pete Droge had given up, gone to work in his dadРІР‚в„ўs business or something. A resurfacing years later as part of the Thorns, but that hyped act didnРІР‚в„ўt make it, deservedly so. From there it was the title song to 'Beautiful Girls' and then obscurity. When he was Rick RubinРІР‚в„ўs protege, when he had that novelty song about killing himself. I remember Pete from the first time around. And debating where to go for my hit, worried about fruitless excursions, I heard Pete Droge on the Sirius Coffee House. Without Dannon coffee yogurt my whole diet is thrown off, itРІР‚в„ўs my bedrock staple. And thatРІР‚в„ўs like finding out your drug dealer has been incarcerated. I think it was the human contact.Р”Р‡rom there I braved the freeway to Ralphs, where I was planning to buy Dannon coffee yogurt. As for the slight instability she feels at times, she should come in. He said skiing was not ACL dependent, that she should be okay. Because if the tendon tears, itРІР‚в„ўs too late. But the doctor said if it gets worse, to come in. Which is not necessary at this point, IРІР‚в„ўm not in that much pain. The problem canРІР‚в„ўt be fixed without surgery. Which helped, but didnРІР‚в„ўt fix the problem. He injected my shoulder with cortisone and prescribed physical therapy. I finally broke down and saw him after the ski injury I had back in February РІР‚в„ў06 never healed. This is the guy who repaired FeliceРІР‚в„ўs torn ACL, heРІР‚в„ўs as good as they get. This morning I went to the doctor for a follow-up appointment.
