Dark Was The Night

Dark Was The Night will be released on February 17th, 2009.

Weekend Plans

Doing anything fun this weekend? Tonight we’re going to a local comedy club to see Craig Robinson, aka Darryl from The Office. I’m looking forward to it — I’ve read that his stand up is pretty free-form and improvisational. Before the show, we plan to drink Guinness and eat meat.

This weekend is the SuperBowl, too. We’re not big sports fans here at FreakGeek Estates, but we usually put the game on and have a few beers anyway. Plus, afterward is a special episode of The Office!

The Worst Springsteen Song Ever Written

Critics are not loving a certain track from Bruce Springsteen’s newest effort, and their comments border on hilarity. I heard a few cuts from the album on the radio the other night, and while I like “Working on a Dream,” I wasn’t much impressed with the rest. Ah well.
