A (rare) moment of reflection, Beastie style

So, Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys has passed. Kids, here’s a life quote you may not want to be remembered by:

“I said a lot of stuff fooling around back then, and I saw it do a lot of harm. I had kids coming up to me and saying, ‘Yo, I listen to your records while I’m smoking dust, man.’ And I’d say, ‘Hey, man, we’re just kidding. I don’t smoke dust.’

Yup, that about sums up that band’s entire career.

New Track – Livin On Booya

New track this fine thanksgiving. It’s good to shake out the speedmetal every once in a while. It’s an underexplored genre. I like the Ramones-style chorus for all you retro lovers out there. by “all you” i of course mean both of you. crank and enjoy.

New look for the site

Rainy saturday and some rare time on my hands – or at least the ability to ignore the screams – means a tune up for the site. Let me know what you think. My favorite part – the fan pics on the “Facebook” tab. Also the new banner photos. And the “Shows” info is pretty cool, too. And the backlog of tunes came back, on the “Songbook” tab. I like the integration with our youtube channel too. We’ve had some good times! We gonna have some more!

More, more taxes

Yup, still working on my Federal withholdings. I’ve circled back to question F and realized I have no idea what it is asking:

“Enter 1 if you have at least $1,900 of child or dependent care expenses for which you plan to claim a credit. (Note. Do not include child support payments. See Pub. 503, Child and Dependent Care Expenses, for details.)”

So I’m not really sure what to do. What’s a child care expense for which I plan to claim a credit? And do I have $1,900 worth of them? I have no clue. I do, however, have heart palpitations.

I guess I’ll go unwind with a nice copy of Pub. 503 Child and Dependent Care Expenses and see what I can pull together for an answer.

Shouldn’t take more than a week or two. Don’t drop any fractions! Oh, and subtract line 34 after you add line B and complete all applicable worksheets for accuracy.

Editors note: I threw up my hands and entered a zero to be safe. Maybe I could have entered a one, I’ll never know — whatever it would have gotten me in tax savings, I’m willing to pay it – happily! – to not have to deal with Pub. 503 and the propspect of being carted off in cuffs in front of my friends for getting Line F wrong.
