I Can't Take the Way He Sings, But I Love to Hear Him Talk

Congratulations to the astute Ms. Amanda Pierce for correctly hinting at the Saturday Song of the Day, "Pyramid Song" by Radiohead.

Perhaps it's due to the fact that I'm trying to keep quiet about the current Liverpool F.C. campaign in a quixotic attempt to influence events back in Jolly Old England, but right now, the Boys in Red currently sit atop the English Premier League after 9 matches played. Granted, that means there is still 75% of the season left to play, but if Gerrard, Keane, Carragher, Mascherano, Alonso, and the rest of the boys keep playing like they did yesterday, the 19 year title drought at Anfield might reach its terminus.
Yesterday, at Stamford Bridge in London, Liverpool dealt Chelsea its first loss at home in the Premier League since February 2004. That's right, an 86-match unbeaten streak. The last time Chelsea lost at home, the Red Sox were still breaking the spirits of New Englanders, Matt Leinart was still an elite quarterback, and the world had not yet been subjected to the unmitigated disaster that is Hannah Montana.

As I said earlier, the season has only just reached the quarter pole, and as the campaign continues the pressure on Merseyside will surely mount, but if yesterday is any indication, the men in Red are more than equal to the challenge.
Here's Xabi Alonso's 10th minute winner. Enjoy.
