How sad our we as a society to participate in fantasy football. Millions of has-beens and wannabes posing as virtual owners, for virtual players. Hoping and praying that Carson Palmer has a comeback season because we forgot to take a QB until round 5, while praying that the other guy picked all of the busts. It's sad...and pathetic...that said, I'm drafting for my second team tonight...wish me luck.
As for activities this evening, their is no reason to miss the series premier of Glee (8:00 PM, Fox) tonight. It looks like a wonderful little show and you shouldn't leave the comforts of your own couch so as to not miss it.
About the Song du Jour: "Relator" Pete Yorn and ScarJo
Yes Scarlett Johanssen has taken a break from her "acting" and recorded an album with indie dude Pete Yorn. The crazy thing is...the song is awesome and Scarlett's voice is oddly good. Very scratchy, bluesy. Now, time to check out the rest of the album, titled "The Break Up".
Peace out kids...NFL STARTS TOMORROW!!!

No More Waiting..
...it's time to take it! So sick of everyone else telling me what I can do and how I'm supposed to do it. Sick of society telling me who can be successful and who can't. I'm sure many of you are in the same boat...we gotta go to their schools for 10 years and then they'll pay us close to nothing for another 20 and if you don't get fired or laid-off by then, maybe then we'll start getting ahead. So our best case scenario is working three decades toward finally getting over...working our butts off during the prime of our lives...our twenties and thirties well into our forties and fifties...just to get a little comfort...security. Well I don't know about you Utah County...but I'm done. Come with me or not.
With that in mind...come to MY event tonight...come see how to take the first step in taking success...Details Below:
My Place
1488 S 175 E, Orem
7:00 PM
I'm going to stop being told what to do. I want to start my path to success on my own terms...and I want you all to come with me...it's up to you!
About the Song Du Jour: "How Soon Is Now" The Smiths
One of the greatest bands of all time, this song is probably The Smiths greatest commercial success. Johnny Marr's brilliant riff mixed with Morrissey's haunting poetry makes this also one of their deepest tracks. How Soon is Now? For me...it's right now.
Hope to see you all tonight! If not, I'm back tomorrow...Much Love UC!!!

Weekend on the Horizon
In regards to cleaning...i hate it the most almost out of any activity...it takes so much build up for me to clean. I literally have to psych myself out to even think about doing it. It's not that the place is a mess, but we are having people over this weekend and we must portray our living space as being one of immaculance. Which isn't even a word, come to find out, but it's so appropriate in this situation. Use it in a sentence today...everyone will think you're brilliant.
Pleasant Grove High School is hosting a little show in their venue The Pig Pen. Details Below:
The Pig Pen (PG High)
HardDrive to France
800 N 100 E, Pleasant Grove
7:00 PM--$5
These guys have a nice little rhythmic rock sound. Should be a pretty cool show in what is an extremely small venue (pretty much a classroom).
Also, Twilight returns tonight in Downtown Salt Lake at the Gallivan Plaza. Tonight's acts are Okkervil River and Iron and Wine. What an awesome pair of bands!!! Unfortunately, I will be cleaning tonight :( But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this free show...7:00 PM!!!
About the Song du Jour: "Fruit Machine" The Ting Tings
If you want to have a guaranteed fantastic time, go to a freaking Ting Tings show. Katie and Jules own it and are amazing entertainers. This little ditty is my personal favorite from the group but this whole album, we started nothing, is nothing short of poppy British brilliance.
Inglorious Basterds Tomorrow!!! Have a good one :)

cutted hair
So it's always dreadful when the time comes to get a haircut. You have to deal with the smell and the lady asking you questions and only half listening when you answer, you have to spend $ etc, etc. But once you do it's marvelous...you feel like a new man (/woman), like your going places...
...like maybe going and seeing a FREE SHOW at Graywhale in Orem. It's their local concert series and it starts at 7 PM. The acts are Drew Danburry, Jeremy Brock and i hate you just kidding. This should be a pretty good way to spend a Wednesday night and it's free...can't beat that.
You know what else you can't beat? Nicolitalia's for amazing pizza. For the longest time, I've complained about a void in the pizza selection here in Utah County...sure we got Brick Oven for the over the top pies and we got the run of the mill chain places but we were missing a good thin crust authentic pie. The other night I went to Nicolitalia's (pronounced Nicole-eye-talia) and I could no longer complain. The ingredients were authentic and fresh, the pie was filling and well priced and the crust was TO DIE FOR. Nicolitalia's gets the grade of UV's Finest Pizza Place.
About the Song du Jour: "What Do I Do?" Jimmie's Chicken Shack
Dudes...this one's for you. Haven't we all had a girl who just goes out of her way to point out everything we suck at? That's what this jam is about. It's about every guy who's wanted to scream, "What Do I Do Right, you crazy wench?!" Of course, I'm not in that situation now...I love you sweetie :)
Okey dokey...quitting before I get myself in too deep...peace out U to the sizzle!

Desolate Tuesday
Sports fans like myself can barely keep up with all of the mind-blowing acquisitions in the NFL over the last couple of days...of course, Vick to Philly and now Brett "I'm a pompous Prima Donna" Favre to the Vikings. All and all, this makes the team better but he's unbelievable. I can't even say his name without shamefully shaking my head. He is playing the Pack, the team he played with for more than a decade, on October 5...I hope they crush him.
As for stuff going on today...literally nothing. Check out the Wynnsong though because they have $1 drinks and popcorn all day...go see District 9.
About the Song Du Jour: "Combat Baby" Metric
Emily Haines...need I say more. This jam forces you to tap your toes and bob your head uncontrollably. Metric is just a wonderful dancy-rock band.
That's the whole shebang today...longer tomorrow :)

our second chance society
Self righteousness is rearing it's ugly head once again...and this time on a national-level with the signing of Michael Vick to the Philadelphia Eagles. As anyone one who knows me knows, I love dogs just as much (if not more) than the next person. I think it's a despicable and borderline evil thing Michael Vick did to those defenseless animals and I believe he was fit with a fair punishment accordingly. But I don't think what Mr. Vick did was so wrong, so despicable, so evil a thing to take away his livelihood. People get second chances all the time...that is one of the key principles of our country. Letting people have another go at things, with a clean slate. These people who are getting vocal about Vick signing with the Eagles are probably, for the most part, attention mongers who would get vocal about anything that would give them a stage to be vocal on. I'm so tired of these holier-than-thou types, that think they are better than us. They think that they know all of the answers and that the rest of us are ignorant fools.
Tonight, you can find ALL of Utah County's swingers in on place...the Scera Shell
Oh man, not that type of swinger you freaks...Details Below:
SCERA Shell
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
669 S State Street, Orem
8:00 PM--$12-$16
That's right the big band that blew up during swing's reemergence in the mid-90s will be performing here tonight. This should be a wild, energetic show with loads of local ballroom dancers doing the three moves they know over and over again out in the general admission grass...you know who you are ;)
About the Song du Jour: "Halo" Beyonce
The other day this song came on and I only half noticed it. After about three minutes, I really wanted to go over to my brother-in laws and play some 360--mostly the alien destroying game that the song's title shares a name with. Not too weird for most young men, like myself, it's a very popular game among our demographic...but I can't stand it. See, I think this song is some sort of subliminal ad to get the rest of us (and women) to become indoctrinated into the obsession millions of dorks are already taken by. Damn you Beyonce!!!! Truth be told, it's a beautiful song...and I really like it but I can no longer listen to it. I will not give in to you Halo.
Wow...a lot of ranting from me today...and probably more tomorrow! Much love UC...

the return of the...
That's right bitslappers...I'm back after some sort of headless chicken hiatus. This is my declaration to never again let unfortunate circumstances block me from doing something I love...never again let bad moments ruin my day! UV's Finest is back because we gotta keep finding things to do and ways to let off steam...so let's see what's going on:
Two extremely promising movies are being released today: The Goods and District 9. Of course, The Goods is going to be another raunchfest laughathon (it was made by Will Ferrell's production company) but perhaps the surprise of the summer is going to be District 9. It is already garnering universal critical acclaim and I'm sure once the sci-fi fanboys set their eyes upon it the blogosphere and intrawebz will be oozing with love for this alien v man flick...I wann see both of these movies SO BAD and likely will soon.
There's a very interesting Rock outfit from Provo called Gypsy Cab performing at Muse tonight...details below:
Muse Music
Gypsy Cab and others
151 N University Ave, Provo
8:00 PM--$5
If you're a fan of Real Salt Lake, or soccer in general, check out The New RSL Report for sickalicious soccer news and make sure you check out RSL vs Houston tomorrow at 7 PM at Rio Tinto in Sandy.
About the Song du Jour: "Heads Will Roll" Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Is Karen O the most rockingest female lead around? It's a hard thing to argue while this track is jumpin. Many people know the Yeah Yeah Yeahs from their little ballad "Maps", but hard driving track like Heads is more like the norm for this indie group from NYC.
!!!See y'all Monday!!!
