If you got a nickel, and I got a dime, we'll get together, cook a nice meal, and drink some wine

DI/DO is shocked, shocked, to discover that not all wine we drink is drunk with meals:

This was the first time the Wine Opinions survey had looked at whether wine and food were consumed together. Of all the wine the respondents drink in a given week, the survey found, only 41 percent was consumed while sitting down to a meal. Nineteen percent was consumed with chips, nuts, crackers and other light snacks, and 14 percent while preparing food. A full 26 percent of wine was consumed without food at all.

This might be news to Asimov, but it's not news to Jerry Lee Lewis, or Richard Thompson, and Stick McGhee.

Hail to The Cod!

n the process of investigating the aforementioned tale of the tape between Mike Watt and Daniel Boulud, I clicked over to the website for Boulud's fancy sausage burger joint, DBGB, and literally could not believe my ears. I thought that I had a stray tab open, for I had no other explanation for why The Magnificent Seven was playing over my office computer speakers. But, no. Boulud has, in fact, taken that bete noire of restaurant websites, background music, and extended the whole pissing on the grave of punk rock brand by having the fucking Clash as his background music. For nineteen dollar hamburgers.

I am not an entertainment lawyer. (Don't need to swim to breathe, LOL!) But, my hunch is that you need to pay to use music someone else recorded for your commercial website.* At the very least, let's hope that Joe Strummer's kids get free nine dollar hotdogs when they are in town. 2945abc45 0420
