Great news. http://www.tinymixtapes.com/Jeff-Mangum-Performs-Three-Songs I've given up hope of any sort of tangible tour, I thought the best chance of a show was him doing pitchfork last year. He has been playing at clubs fairly consistently, by my standards for him, for the past couple of years.

bahaha, yeah, they really wanted this depression, it's really been serving them well. It's allowed them to fire half their staffs and teeter on the verge of bankruptcy. They are doin soooooo well.

bahaha... I agree with duke. I think nirvana was a band you kind of had to be in the moment with. I can't really related to that generation in the early nineties much.

Talk about unintended consequences.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 03:41 PM) Alexander Graham Bell was lucky enough to be the first one to get to the patent office, lol. my friend told me this story of someone in their town, who invented the new glue for braces, but didn't know how to sell it. So they sold the patent to their neighbor, who made millions.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 26, 2009 -> 03:36 PM) One of America's greatest known inventors, Thomas Edison, was the perfect example of this. We owe way more of our existance to Nikola Tesla, and yet basically no one knows who he is. I feel like Tesla is just one of those people where everyone acts like nobody else knows who he is because they like the framing of an unknown talking point.

Further, if the democrats do move on this and actually do have some evidence of this by 2010, the legs of the republicans are cut out from them. The congressional and senate dems would be wise to follow suit.

none of that really applies to me, but I too used to have a job I hated. I realize it was my fault for going .06 under, though I think the gas station should be more clear that they put an extra charge for not using cash. But, it makes me more angry that TCF won't give me overdraft insurance, so that they can put it on a credit card, like most of my friends have, and then I'll just pay the interest on that .06, and not have to pay them an absurd amount for such a small f***up.

will we ever win a game?

It's wonderful that the stock market has so much confidence in Bernanke, he certainly has done a wonderful job the last 8 months.

Oh, another gem, when I went to Europe, I beforehand went to TCF and told them I wanted to inform them I'd be going abroad, so if they saw some suspicious charges in Europe not to worry. The guy stared at me. "Okay." I was informed I should let my bank know before a trip. "Oh, we don't really track your charges so it's no big deal" Makes me wonder what set the alarms off to compromise my account?

So, this past year I've had more "I f'n hate you" moments with TCF than should ever occur. I will answer your natural question that would arise "why don't you leave", well, I kept the TCF account because I go to school in Mo. and it was easier for my parents to be able to put in money. And, I've always worked for the Univ. which has direct deposit, so I just get by with my card down here. Well, there has been some ridiculous overdraft moments in the past, and they are the only bank that does not offer overdraft insurance, lets just say one time I was cutting it close, and didn't know that the gas station charged 1.00 for using a card, I was under by .06, when I checked it a couple days later, they had charged $35 dollars for the over charge, and $70 for the two days it had been under before I realized it. ($105 for six cents, which they refused to take away any portion of) but that's in the past Most recent aggravation. (Well, some more back story, my account is connected to an address I can no longer access due to some recent family movings...the person that is there, lets just say, we are not on speaking terms with. When I ran out of checks and needed one for direct deposit, they wouldn't give me a way to change my address without showing up in person. They also wouldn't give me a routing number on official TCF letter heading. It was absurd. So I opened up another account) BUT MOST RECENT AGGRAVATION. In their astute wisdom, they said my card had been compromised (wouldn't say why, no charges on account I hadn't made), but fine, i'm all for caution. PROBLEM: they didn't call me to tell me they canceled my card. So last night my card got canceled, I was really confused, I have money in my account, some nice lady behind me in line paid for me after much attempts to decline her kindness. But, the ole kabuki with TCF, once again. Sending me a new card (no, you don't understand I don't have access to that address anymore) well you can come to the store and change it (i'm in missouri. Can my father do this) no he's not on the account (so, can I transfer money from my account into a different account?) do you have another tcf account (no) well then no. (so I have no access to my money?) we can send you another card (you are f***ING RETARDED) Thankfully my father stepped in and is transferring me some money into a WONDERFUL bank, Commerce Bank in Columbia MO, until I can get back home and close out that account. TCF...#$%*@$%*($*%(@#$%*(@_%*@($%*@$(%* YOU

The s*** is dye doing running into a wall in ST
