Sime is a music addict.

Since DC is doing some music posts I think I'll folow in his freshly made footsteps and do a little post about music now.

First off, DC isn't kidding about Jose Gonzalez. That man is phenomenal. I bought his cd today, along with two others.

The other two cds I purchased at Other Music (where else?) were Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light by Bell Orchestre and Awesomer by Blood on the Wall.

Both albums are top notch. Bell Orchestre is a band that includes a couple or a few members of the Arcade Fire. How would I describe them? Well, it's instrumental "post rock". It's quite beautiful. They're serene at times, and cinematic, and joyful, and droney, and autumn. Very autumn.

Go here to experience what I'm babbling about.

Now, Blood on the Wall is a different experience. They're just an...awesome rock band
with a female singer, but she shares singing duties with the guitarist. They're from this wonderful city as well, so...I suggest you check 'em out.

Wicked.



Shit, my laundry has piled up to almost a place of no hope. I will pay someone a reasonable amount of money to do my laundry. I seriously have no time or energy for this shit.

I can't wait till I'm rich and I don't have to do this crap.
I'm sure by then there will be robot housekeepers.

Fuckin sweet...like the Jetsons and shit.






Ya know?

Gobble gobble!!

Happy Turkey day everyone! Or if you're not inclined to be carnivorous, Happy Tofurkey Day!


I'm thankful that the bird flu hasn't hit those turkeys, eh?

I'll be leaving for California soon. I'll send you some sunshine if you so please. There's plenty to go around.



Au revoir.

balderdash!

i have been found out!
ah, tis well. any british boys out there - i am well schooled in your ways. feel free to ask me out on dates.

i must say dc, though you give me a hard time about liking feelings and 'sex & the city' - you seem to care about feelings as well mr. "i rated all the seasons of the O.C. with 5 stars" - i trust you're learning new ways to woo those california girls. carry on my friend.

in other news... the fourth harry potter movie was amazing.. though they did leave out many things that i hold dear (ex: rita skeeter as a beetle) i still very much enjoyed it. british boys - check. feelings - check.

alsooooooo i saw "walk the line" and knowing very little about johnny cash beforehand thought it was a great flick - reese did a lovely job, much better than i expected, and mr. phoenix sure learned how to be on drugs for extended periods of time. british boys? no. feelings - check.

well i ought to get back to my paper that i'm putting off. it won't write itself.. if only i had a quick quotes quill...

Evidence!

See, my last entry was true, I wasn't bullshitting you:














Oh man....I'm sure I was around there at that time....damnit.


I gotta see a video of this...

HOLY SHAMOLY!!!!!!!

Gah...

What. The. Fuck!

I can't believe this...happened:

"...Arcade Fire took their case to the people and played an impromptu acoustic gig on a New York City street late Saturday night. According to NYC scenester blog Brooklyn Vegan, Win Butler, Régine Chassagne, and Will Butler set up outside a Union Square subway stop around two a.m. and ran through a set that included "Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)" as well as Pixies, Cure, and New Order covers. Now you know why people pay $1000 a month to live in a closet in that city."(Pitchfork Media)

I was in Union Square around that time...shit!!!


If anyone out there caught this impromptu performance and maybe got some pictures or something...send them my way!

Watch out next week when Radiohead plays a quick set on the A train.







I can dream, can't I?!?

Facial hair is art,

This is the sole reason I haven't shaved in over a month:




This site rocks.

I'm definitely gonna take a shot at the freestyle. Maybe I'll construct the Last Supper out of my beard or a unicorn battling the Loch Ness monster.


Who's this guy fooling:


He's not even trying. He has to make up for his shitty moustache with fancy gold clothing and a fuckin hat to match.


What an asshole...



And this guy just plain scares the fuck out of me:

(removed 'cause it was too big -dc)

I don't think he entered the contest voluntarily. They just found him on the street, put a jacket and tie on him and set him loose.

Don't look at the pic too long or else you'll have violent nightmares.








SO next time you get the urge to tell me to shave, think about the honor and prestige I'll be getting when I present a wonderful construction of facial hair like this guy's:







Blighton 2007, here I come!
