Nah man that animal is furry as hell.

I don't want that fucking pirated DVD you're trying to sell to me while I drink my coffee/use the wireless in this bar. In fact, you can suck my dick.

Eddie Kendricks is an important figure in the history of music.

What about more music? How can you resist? It's free.

Fuck Jeff Lynne.

All praises due to Jim Keltner.

All other living Wilburys get a free pass in my head.

Fuck

I thought I might catch a glimpse of my girl in Sevilla for a hot minute, but it was not to be and I'm all alone again, except I got a surprise visit from a Princeton pal and it put 5 or 6 years back on my life I think.

What's the deal with Bill Simmon's basketball book? I wanna read that shit.

I had a long winded conversation with a rather good looking french brunette who told me that work is the only way to keep her going, without it she would most likely fall to pieces.

Money sucks, I hate it.

Frank Rich writes really good columns, this must be why they only come out on Sunday.

blah, blah, blah
I wish I could watch nba games and download porn.



MORE MUSIC FOR YOU, you mystery surprise dl.

I don't read blogs. I hate bloggers. I am lower than a blogger.

That said, what about these handsome 20-somethings?

Taka

Newhouse

Have I no shame? None whatsoever.

Dun dudda

Archived post that makes more sense with time.

Hey, what about swine flu?

Sample this now!

why not?

Nipsey Hussle?

Bump

I really like the new DOOM; I also happen to like the snakey, sparse bass playing on the track "Bumpy's Message" in which Freddie Foxxx sounds like he's fucking dying.

I keep bumping in to NYT books articles on David Foster Wallace or vacation homes.

What's up with AIDS research? Are we making any improvements lately? What about Larry David in a Woody Allen movie?

What about falling asleep at the wheel? What about Conservative Oberlin grads speaking their mind on Senator Specter? Right here, Michelle!

I can't stop reading deadspin, I CAN'T! Will Leitch is the writer of things that hurt my brain in that soft, subtle way. So of course they switch it up and let someone else write about a derival, but intriguing sub-plot of ten human body parts.

Dearth of Big Men in the Draft

Who is Blake Griffin?

He is good at dunking with tremendous ferocity, not unlike a feral hamster in heat on the fourth of july.

Who is Ricky Rubio?

He had a turnover in the closing minute of his team DKV Joventut's 3 point win over Gran Canarias while they were down 2 and they still won!

Who is Steven Curry?

He goes to the same school as the girl whose skull you could see through while she was giving you brain.

Who is James Harden?

Who are you?

Hey

J.J. has always been one of my favorite first names.

Cale can be really good steamed (correction: Kale)

Let's start over; NAturally.

Hip Hoop

Hey, I went to high school with Derrick. One time we played Beat It, yours truly on guitar and himself on the kit. It was a hit with at least 20% of the minorities in attendance at said private K-12 institution.

Everyone likes Galt MacDermot and noone really can say why; allmusic will say his brand of "no-funk" finds its appeal from being so damn cheesy and uncool, people who use the full 10% of their brain would call this unpretentious on the part of señor MacDermot and his personal crew of flunky session players.

Dan The Automator and Prince Paul are blatant fans of the man's jams.


He also wrote the music to the musical HAIR, people younger than myself, who didn't perform in a high school/summer stock/amateur basement version of it, would probably know of the song "Age Of Aquarius" thanks to Judd Apatow directing Steve Carrel, Paul Rudd, Faux-MC Hammer (that poor bastard, might as well have played I NEED $) in The 40 Year Old Virgin

CLick here to add your name to the list of fans of the man's work "Shapes of Rhythm"

basketball

I feel like one of those fucking kids in Newsies posting links to a Bethlehem Shoals Sporting News® Post, but I think he is writing about the best sub-plot of the entire playoffs so far. Remember the Fish that Saved Pittsburgh!

I can't comment on the playoffs in any capacity because I'm isolated from the immediate impact the viewing of a game delivers. I DO want to watch Denver play, really badly; almost as much as I can't believe they're actually doing this playoff thing without Iverson; the Jadakis/AI corollary only grows stronger over time, I don't know why, but I always thought the most prophetic thing that ever was uttered by Kiss and Styles P. in tandem went:

J: You might find your man dead in the ocean
P(A little too far away from his microphone): IT BE AIGHT THOUGH
J: You know dead rappers get better promotion.

I wish I wouldn't feel the need to complain about having to work an hour on Friday, because I'm a selfish child, but listen to birds of feather, why not? It's linked below from an earlier day.

Blood

Does oxy clean actually work?

Why do fat bearded men get paid exorbitant sums of money to appear on obnoxious infomercials?

Youtube is cool, here's a song called Princess Gika by Galt MacDermot



Here's my favorite track off of the new Doom record, Born Like This:


Coincidence, I think not...

Here's a potentially danceable MP3 that I constructed recently: Algorhythm

92 million wangs in china

Lex told me according to the NYT the above factoid.

Joel Handley writes this

Format-OH

Disk Space is a funny thing; so was Marcel Proust, most likely. He has the only speaking part in "Silent Movie"; is Mel Brooks a genius or what?!!?!


Anyhoo, more music...I don't know...now!

thanks ryan welsh!

As I laugh/wince at Ghostface's Korean accent on the track "Angels" off of Born Like This and that earlier compilation they put it on together, the name escapes me, I must also think of things more relevant to real people like you, the reader. Here's an artist doing cool shit that feels like Fractals would approve.

Decline

Beirut is one of several names that is associated with Beer Pong, a drinking game that jumped the shark long before Rick Reilly was encouraging his sons to flick their way to victory; if ONLY that could have been a lesson to them about finger fucking!

Beirut is one of several names that guy from New Mexico has assumed when recording his lush orchestrations that incorporate elements of Balkan Rhythms, unusual horn/string combinations and one of those very once in a while kind of voices.

Beirut is one of several places I cannot locate on a map without some type of aural aid device.

Jacques Brel is the secret behind all three of these examples; his "Seasons in The Sun" is all I can hear in my mental tapes when I contemplate Canadian Pop in the '70s, even though the performance we are all so familiar with is by one Terry Jacks. Peep his allmusic.com profile if time allows for enhanced factoids and related artists.

Here's a certain work of his that you can find all about by clicking through!

When you want to figure out a room's acoustic tendencies you can stick a microphone next to a speaker that runs a feedback loop of the single phrase you wish to have heard perfectly clear by as many of those in attendance as possible; "The reason we're all here is to get along."

So, the blog can have it's own feedback loop if it wants to with the uploads.

Here's one from a band that featured a gay guy, Elliott Smith and a guy who married a member of a band that I always thought was full of lesbians, Sleater-Kinney.

Anyhoo, it's here.

Speaking of Portland, who's excited for the playoffs? I for one, having not witnessed a single regular season game, don't know what to think; what's the playoffs without either Mike Dunleavy?

flake music; that pre shins shindig that Chiara threw my way once.

Hope everyone is having a great weekday segue in to weekend; I personally am doing great; a period of intense listening has begun anew!

much love all

Latin Prescriptive Grammars

Hey, remember putumayo?

I once purchased a cd of theirs while having a sleeping pill related trip in Buenos Aires; you can dl it here.

time passes slowly, and then fades away.
