Well, that sucked

I posted a fanshot over at Track Em Tigers about how I felt about that debacle. I'm not surprised that LSU beat Auburn, nor am I surprised that they won by double digits. What was surprising to me was how easy we made it for them and how many of the mistakes from last week were not corrected. Another false start on 4th-and-1 (although, I think he may have been drawn off by the defender), more inability to move the ball through the air, and of course, absolutely futile special teams play. That's all I'll write on the subject for now. Auburn is going to be #12 in my SEC power poll whenever I get that up because I honestly believe Vanderbilt would beat us right now.

And now, for something completely different, here's one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a long time, Phoenix's "Love Like a Sunset" (Parts 1 and 2 combined). Sorry that the audio is so staticky, but it's the only non-live version I could find on Youtube that had both parts combined. Particularly part 2 (which starts at about 5:30 of the video below) is gorgeous. I hope you enjoy as much as I do:

Top 25 Songs of the Aughts

Before I begin, I want to make sure everyone knows this idea is shamelessly stolen from friend of the Neighborhood jrs at A Lifetime of Defeats. Here's a link to his top 100 songs of this decade. In that post he links to Pitchfork's top 500 songs of the decade. Since I'm not nearly the musical connoisseur jrs is, my list is only 25% the length of his, and since neither of us are being paid for our musical opinions, our lists are 5% and 20% the length of theirs. So, without further ado...

25. "Gold Digger" - Kanye West ft. Jamie Foxx
24. "A-Punk" - Vampire Weekend
23. "Doesn't Remind Me" - Audioslave
22. "I'm Shipping Up to Boston" - Dropkick Murphy's
