My favorite sports anchor growing up died today after a five year fight to prostate cancer. This dude’s smile lit up a TV set like nobody’s business. It was fun watching him do the sports because you could tell he loved his job. Ugh.
I know I already posted this photo, but it deserves repeating, because it’s fucking Elvis Costello Friday!!!

Elliott Smith’s XO came out over 10 years ago. I listened to it more than any other album in college (next to Reinhold Messner) and I was listening to it again this morning.

And to my delight, there’s a 33 1/3 book written about it that has good reviews. Can’t wait to read it.

I just cried a little bit from reading this.
Spoiler alert: she doesn’t actually get to watch it because it was too painful. If you read this, I hope you have a Prozac handy.
