MP3 of the Day
It's Jeff Fell's birthday today! He was born Jeffery Wayne Fell in Bakersfield, California, the hometown of Buck Owens. In 1990, Jeff founded the band Crayon with Brad Roberts and some other guy in Bellingham, WA. Back in the Crayon days, Jeff would often perform live shows in a full Lion Suit (minus the head). Jeff "the drumming lion" enjoyed a bit of notoriety in the indiepop circles. In the few short years that Crayon were together, a handful of 7" singles, split singles and one full length album called Brick Factory were released. After a six week US tour with The Softies, guitarist Brad Roberts quit the band in the summer of 1994, and Jeff would go onto form Tullycraft. Today we have the song Chutes and Ladders from the one and only CRAYON album Brick Factory. Happy Birthday Jeff!

Raccoon's courthouse crime spree ends with capture
Mon Aug 25, 9:24 PM ET
The evidence in his office gave the judge pause: a half-eaten apple and
some very distinctive footprints.
Federal bankruptcy Judge Paul W. Bonapfel reported the break-in last
week at the Richard B. Russell Federal Building in downtown Atlanta.
The intruder made no effort to cover his tracks across a stack of
federal memos in the 14th-floor office. When the judge called in his
staff and others to examine the scene, the evidence was conclusive: The
perpetrator was a raccoon.
In the following days, judges and staff who work in the building
reported other thefts - chocolate chip cookies stolen from a 10th-floor
desk, a sandwich on the 9th floor, and a packet of dried soup purloined
from the 23rd floor.
A court clerk created a "wanted" poster, and Bonapfel's staff posted a
"raccoon crossing" sign on the judge's door.
Workers from a company that specializes in catching wildlife placed a
trap in the ceiling over a judge's office and baited it with tuna.
The wait ended Monday when a judicial assistant heard a noise overhead.
Two workers removed the ceiling tiles and grabbed the suspect.
Office workers named the raccoon "Russell," in honor of the building's
namesake. The General Services Administration, which manages the
building, theorizes that Russell wriggled into the heating system from
outside.
"We're going to see if we can get him turned loose on a farm somewhere,"
said Robert Perkins, the building's manager. "We're going to take him a
long way from this building."
--What the mainstream media doesn't want you to know, is that 'Raccoon (Russell)' is code for, yep, the wascally Jeff Fell.
I’m not sure what to make of all of that, still have the best birthday ever Jeff.
