i'll admit it. this blog is not feature-rich. there's no music, no animation, and shit, i don't even have my self-portrait in the upper left corner anymore. even my own vaunted opinions have been absent for long spells. but i have a new feature that debuts on this blog today: champion sound
champion sound was born of the idea that on some days, you get a song in your head, and for the rest of the day no song can top it. i run my itunes on shuffle mode for most of the workday, and then the ipod is on shuffle when i'm driving. like, fuck a playlist.
i don't even know what i was doing this morning to find the champion sound for today. i had churned through a couple hundred songs (many short songs, especially the punk ones, as well as some songs i just skipped over), and today's song was not among them. then i heard it in my head. i turned off itunes. nothing i had in my 100+ GB of mp3's was gonna beat this.
today's champion sound: Wu Tang's "Triumph," 1997. an amazing song. and if you've ever heard it performed live, chances are you were geeked twofold. at least. shit, i was.
