Peruvian Nights and Jamaican Days

To add to the list of stuff I've learned in life so far: If you tell someone that such-and-such is your 2nd favorite so-and-so, they will invariably ask, "what's the first?"

Henceforth, my top 10 favorite rock bands:

1. The Meices
2. Hum
3. Wilco
4. Social Distortion
5. The Clash
6. The White Stripes
7. Nirvana
8. Velvet Underground
9. Jane's Addiction
10. The Lemonheads
11. The Pixies
12. CCR

Probably subject to some shifting around, but I'm pretty certain the top 4 are in the correct order.

Honorable mentions:
Radiohead
The Alien Crime Syndicate
Camper Van Beethoven
The Eels
Porno for Pyros (easily could have been in the top 10, but I figure one Perry Farrell band is sufficient)
Uncle Tupelo
The Smiths
Ben Folds Five
The Cure
Beach Boys
The Misfits
The Old 97's
The Ramones
Dropkick Murphys
whatever different bands all the guys from Hum are now in
Green Day
The Pogues

So apparently my thumb is not calibrated yet. Must not quite be old enough. It didn't rain until Tuesday. So I'm still learning how to use my old guy powers. Maybe I can become a superhero, someday. Like Storm - except, instead of summoning violent thunderstorms at will, I can predict them with amazing ability (give or take a day).

Me: Hold it!
Wolverine: What is it?!?
Me: Don't forget your slicker! It's gonna rain! Probably.

My second favorite solo artist is Jeff Buckley.
