Miscellaneous: October 2008 Archives

From the movie "Bob Roberts," here is a cover of the song "Complain." Lyrics below. Enjoy!

Some people must have
Some people have not
And they complain and complain and complain and complain and complain

Some people will work
Some simply will not
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain

Like this:
It's society's fault
I don't have a job
It's society's fault
I am a slob
I got potential
No one can see
Give me welfare
Let me be me

Hey bud you're livin' in the land of the free
No one's gonna hand you opportunity

Some people must have
Some never will
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain

Like this:
I don't have a house
I don't have a car
I spend all my time
Drunk in a bar
I wanna be rich
I don't have a brain
Give me a handout
While I complain

Or this:
I wanna stay in bed
And watch TV
And go out weekends in a limousine
And dance all night taking lots of drugs
And wake up
When I wanna

Hey bud you're livin' in the land of the free
No one's gonna hand you opportunity

Some people must have
Some never will
But they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain
Yeah they'll complain and complain and complain and complain and complain

As a non-drummer, which drum set is better: Guitar Hero World Tour, or Rock Band 2? I'll probably get both games, so the question is not so much "which game is better?" but "which drum set is better?," and implied is also "which drum set is better for playing with either game?"

I know the Guitar Hero game's not out yet. And neither is Rock Band 2, since I am on PlayStation 3.

I am leaning toward Rock Band 2, because a. it looks like it will be better at making sure the pedal doesn't move, b. I think four pads is probably better for me than five. But GHWT's drums look more compact, and they have cool cymbals.

I'm watching the latest episode of The Office and I see the name of Michael Schur as a "co-executive producer." I enjoy Schur's writing at Fire Joe Morgan (as "Ken Tremendous") so it caught my eye.

Then I saw several other producers named after him. So I rewound.

I counted six "executive producers," eight "co-executive producers," two "consulting producers," one "producer," and one more person that the show was "produced by."

I have some experience adding by more than ones, so I say with confidence that the show had at least 18 producers in the credits.

I'm no Ben Silverman, or Greg Daniels, or Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant, or Howard Klein, or Paul Lieberstein, but that seems like a lot to me.

"The Merry Minuet" is a classic song by The Kingston Trio. Requested by nandorman.
