Only in college CXVIII

When I checked the office voicemail at KCOU, it was apparent that some students who could hear the station's Springfest '92 concert from their dorms weren't exactly fans.  Although we didn't get a ton of complaints, a handful of students left comments about the volume.

My favorite complaint was this one: "The one day a year I try to study, I can't because of your loud-@&&, crappy-@&& band!"

My unspoken reply: "Sorry if the concert prompted you to move your studying to the library or other campus venues for one day, but seriously, the one day a year you try to study...?" 

The pitfalls of shuffle mode XIV

Talk about a great pairing of high energy with ominous vocals.  Despite its discomforting lyrics about surveillance, I never tire of "Just A Job To Do" by Genesis.  It was only natural, then, that iTunes shuffle mode segued it this morning with...

...Peter, Paul & Mary's version of "This Land Is Your Land."  Who better to sing such inclusive, live-and-let-live lyrics than this noble folk trio?  I've always respected "This Land..." and play it on or before Independence Day every year.  It doesn't, however, mesh well with the gory bounty hunter scenario portrayed in "Just A Job To Do."

That's what I get, though, for leaving my segues up to chance.
