Dodo Bird flaps its wings aimlessly





What happens when you remember something that you used to like because your older brother would play it in his car during high school? You put up not one, but two clips; Thinking where I'm gonna be in 2007, either a house in the Hamptons or a house in heaven...I can still remember when that line seemed mad far off...



Enough reminiscing about distant veal-parm clouded memories, it's time to get real. Domenico thinks 2008 was a rough year for music in general; most people's best of lists were more painful to read than Jane Eyre in zero gravity. That most recent Adam Sandler movie, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan", is actually really funny; hummus related humor has had a real breakthrough as of late...but not as much as NBA players making music:




Lionel Richie on heavy rotation...

Dave Chappelle on Def Poetry Jam





Chappelle is a genius of all time! Also note the player hater line he drops; I don't know him and I hate his guts, brilliant.

Should I do drugs Dave?

Great Chord Progressions don't come out of thin air:




Strike up the band

Taka is cooking up something of great interest no doubt. If you haven't taken advantage of the 5 O'clock free crack giveaway, then get on it!

Status Quo from beyond the grave!

What you know can only mean one thing

Goddamn! It is so beautiful outside. I just woke up, and perhaps chugging tinto de verano was a foolish exercise at Miha's bday party last night. That said, I kind of forgot how much I love so many people here; last night was as good a reminder as any.

Two of my best friends here that are Spaniards work at the local music shop "El Ramblado"; these guys are fucking awesome, not only do they love real Spanish music, they have very open ears. Also they let me shred on the Brian May model through an Orange 50 watt Head from time to time; as well as providing me with clues as to how I might meet local musicians, they are also really really nice and occasionally jam on some pretty greasy blues that make me think that Tim Meadows is my favorite actor that ever was.



It's not habit forming!



Oberlin (my frame of reference for a much larger question), you are so far from Bolivia, but you do your part to help the meridian flow of narcotics, so kudos.



It's too nice outside to keep writing in my bathroom, but if you treat your blog post like you treat a daily poop (you got to maintain), then it becomes a comfortable, albeit smelly trick of second-nature.
