a random list:
a-yes, i love pantera.
b-‘the crystal ship’ by the doors is a great song. not their best, but pretty great.
c-every song on the doors first album(‘crystal ship’ was on 2nd, no?)is
flawless.
d-getting ready to go dj at hiro, i’m actually mainly looking forward to listening
to mehdi and tommy. and beer. not listening to beer. although it does speak
to me at times, in quiet, dulcet, white-trash tones.
e-chemical brothers ‘hey boy hey girl’ is a great song, too. i think i’ll play it tonight.
f-i like coffee a lot. not as much as beer. or different, rather. differently? different?
g-i saw a picture of michael stipe today and i thought it was me.
h-is for hillary, who is getting lots of bad advice.
i-i really like edward gorey. i think that tomorrow i’ll go buy some more edward
gorey books.
j-i’m going to mexico in a few weeks to do 3 shows with underworld. oops, was
i not supposed to announce this? sorry. i hope they play ‘rez’.
k-i’m looking at an action figure of homer. he’s hitting spider pig on the butt with a donut.
l-i have an odd love for/of portable organs from the 60’s. not internal body parts from the kennedy era, but metal
and plastic and wood keyboards that sound like the sir douglas quintet.
m-i also really love old drum machines. someday i’ll take pictures of my old drum machine
collection and share them with the world. that’s assuming that the world is interested. which, to be honest, it probably isn’t.
n-i’d probably be less annoying and sell more records if i wasn’t such a compulsive blogger. i seem to have tourrette’s of the blog. but what are you going to do?
o-‘tourrette’s of the blog’ sounds/is disgusting. ‘blog’, although ubiquitous and in common useage, is still a pretty disgusting word.
p-south park, ‘bigger longer uncut’ might be the best movie ever made, especially the skeet ulrich poster above the devil’s bed.
q-pantera and south park, i’m pretty high-brow. that’s what a philosophy degree gets you; a love of speed metal, cartoons, bud light, and drum machines. bertrand russel would be proud. or ashamed. or indifferent. probably ashamed.
r-i’m going to try to go to the end of the alphabet, i still have 5 minutes to go until i leave for hiro.
s-once my studio is up and running again i’ll put more songs up on mobygratis.com. i’m sorry i haven’t put up anything new in a while. mea culpa.
t-i kind of miss miami. and austin. and mexico. and, well, being warm in general. remind me of this in august when it’s 1800 degrees in nyc and the pavement/tarmac is evaporating and dogs are spontaneously combusting on the sidewalk.
u-patagonia. i’d really like to go to patagonia. only problem is it’s far away and they don’t have good deli’s. or so i’ve been told. maybe they do have good deli’s. a good deli is the single greatest achievement of western civilization. pennicilin? dentistry? air travel? sure, all nice, but where are they at 4 a.m when you need a burrito?
v-rob riggle on the daily show is really funny. i’m not sure if that’s how you spell his name. see, i’m a cultural pundit. i guess that’s what bloggers do. they pundit. i know, that’s not a verb. thanks.
w-it’s pretty clear that if i had any self-respect i would’ve stopped writing a long time ago. i owe my success to a lack of shame, a lack of self-respect, and an inability to do anything practical. if i wasn’t a musician i’d be probably be selling water damaged fireworks behind a waffle house in nebraska.
x-i really love x. the band. and the 80’s colloquial street name for mdma. mainly the band. drugs rot the brain, even if they’re fun. alas, they still rot the brain. which is sad. if they can put a man on the moon and map the human genome why can’t they make recreational drugs that aren’t bad for you?
it’s a valid question.
y-for ‘yes’. my first concert. at madison square garden. i was in the 2nd to last row and i saw
nothing, but it was really cool being out late on a school night. ‘and you and i’ is a really good song to listen to if you’re on a date in washington d.c and your date has a nice car with a good car stereo.
z-time to go to hiro. i can’t believe i still love dj’ing as much as i do. i’m lucky.
ok, have a good night.
