A few links to kick off your weekend.<\/p>\n
\u2018Wrong team won both days\u2019: Flashback to epic finale of KU-Mizzou basketball in 2012<\/a> For the record: Thomas Robinson\u2019s block was 100% clean. Now the foul that put Tyshawn Taylor at the line to hit the winning free throws? Even I can admit that was pretty soft.<\/p>\n The 50 Best Movie Soundtracks of the Past 50 Years<\/a> This list does bring up an issue that goes along with rating soundtracks. How do you compare Purple Rain<\/em>, an album filled with original songs all written specifically for a movie, with the soundtracks for movies like Pulp Fiction<\/em> or Dazed and Confused<\/em> that take a bunch of known songs and throw them together to either create or reinforce a specific vibe? They seem like two completely different types of albums to me.<\/p>\n I guess that\u2019s the fun of making music rankings: you can argue about all kind of administrative details before<\/strong> you even get to arguing about the actual music.<\/p>\n The 50 Greatest Minivan Rock Songs<\/a> Sports parents are horrible and referees are finally doing something about it \u2014 quitting<\/a> Here\u2019s Why Movie Dialogue Has Gotten More Difficult to Understand (And Three Ways to Fix It)<\/a>
\nKansas and Missouri renew their basketball rivalry in Lawrence tomorrow. This is a good summary of how they ended their time as conference rivals almost ten years ago.<\/p>\n

\nHmmm. I have some issues with this. Where is Footloose<\/em>, for example? Or New Jack City<\/em>? Frozen<\/em>? That\u2019s just off the top of my head.<\/p>\n

\nSpeaking of music lists, this one is well over a year old, but I just found it while reading another article this morning. I\u2019ve never heard of the concept of \u201cMinivan Rock.\u201d Kind of a weird combination of music. As I read the list, though, it brought back a lot of memories from an era when I still listened to a ton of music, but perhaps not as obsessively as I had done earlier in the \u201890s.<\/p>\n

\nI sent this to my friend who is the athletic director at St P\u2019s and suggested she send it out to every parent who has a kid playing CYO sports. Stop ruining the games for your kids!<\/p>\n

\nAnd I thought it was just because I was getting older\u2026<\/p>\n
