San Martín
Meet me at the corner of Jorge Luis Borges and Avenida Santa Fe, and we'll walk a block to Kentucky Pizza. Later I'll take you down Thames, to MALOUVA and there we ingest Malbecs from 2004 and beyond. Oh the future is grand, as we take a turn down to Hollywood, not so far away, but as Liberacci rolls over in his grave, we take in all the sights of Mundo Bizarro's brand of brutish behavior. A quick survey, the scene, a sighting of slight figures, slim, slow, sultry figures, locomotive motor train whistle blowing through my brains.
Again, Levon Helm will simply not leave my head, his drumming too idiosyncratic.
You better stop and think about what you're doing:
The Solution

Before
Before there were hipsters
there was Harry
Before there was ketchup
there was corn syrup
Out in Dubai
they're building
a man made island where
it's land locked
and dry
so why change
the world
for some
white
collar
tourists?
Before they brought back
the dead of next year
they tried their hardest
to squeeze the square peg
in to the round hole
Vagina
anti-inflammatory
Eric Mangini
formerly of Foxboro's
fine facilities
There's a plague
and it's eating away at
the population's base
and we worry
when our parents say
that we are more spoiled
than they are
because we see
first hand
the destruction of man
and we think that it's
time to place blame
not upon ourselves
us, we're great
and progressive
and kind
and we might be
running late
but surprise!
we're resiliant
little carnivorous
mammals
and we'll move on
when we find
the real source
of our divine
worrying over
the race of life's sport
No support, none whatsoever, as we cascade down the mountainside's cool breeze's glide, reminiscent of a bath in KY, I wonder why I didn't cover my face. The awkward moment, like a fart at a funeral, left cupid to wander and wonder if his arrows were defectively plumed; I told you I loved you, you told me confusion, I guess I don't listen while speaking, but who does anyways, am I so far inside my own head that I can't see the problems are remedies? 420 friendly listed on craiglist for apartments in New Amsterdam, time to get my brain fixed.

En la playa
It's hard to imagine a world where your two best friends both die from drug overdoses. If there was ever a way to pay musical tribute to Danny Whitten, the original guitarist in Crazy Horse, and roadie Bruce Berry, Tonight's the Night is it. That said, 1973's On the Beach is perhaps the greatest cathartic achievement I've ever heard a studio musician create.
He's baring all his soul for the sake of reconciling both the internal and external pressures and criticisms that had been surrounding him ever since his star began to shine brightly. I don't think you should read about it, one ought to just listen and form her own opinion.
Also, this album ought to get remastered and reissued digitally. Neil make it happen!
On the Beach
Levon Helm's presence is felt on Revolution Blues. David Crosby's semen was felt in side Melissa Etheridge's wifes cervical cavity.

old links appear to have died. If anyone needs anything from an older post, just email me or drop a comment and I'll send you a personal link.
In other news, Princeton is really boring for some people, and just plain frustrating for others.

We Gonna Get Cancelled For Sure...
It took some time, back when Apologies to the Queen Mary first played in my headphones I didn't think much of their sound, but hundreds of listens later, I think that might be one of the best albums that came out this decade. So, they decided to drop a new album recently, it's, uhh, really good.

Don't say I never get you nothing.

Truan Savage
I'm going to compile a picture essay about Truan Savage. Why not a different notable Oberlin 5th year, like say, Sean Mair? It's a long, complicated answer, but, in short, it's easy.
Hey look, Truan is on myspace.
Truan is a pretty cool guy
Remember when a drunken Nick Sullender slammed Truan to the ground?
Picture Truan, shirtless, drunk in the middle of a Summer Day.
What Truan will see when he googles his own name.

Easy Listening
Phil Spector, like him or not, has had a profound effect on the way we appreciate popular music. His work in the studio is prolific, incredibly original and often controversial. The Wall of Sound recording technique certainly warrants mentioning as a crucial development in Mono recording, he was adamantly opposed to stereo recordings, saying they focused too much on the listener, and not enough on the producer; read about it here.
People like covering his work. If you went to Oberlin College, Wesleyan, or live in Brooklyn, you might have overheard someone mention a band called Grizzly Bear; they are pretty fucking good, and they don't mind wearing their influences on their sleeve, whether or not one can appreciate that is a different question. Here's them doing their best girl group impression, I guess, on their version of "He Hit Me (And It Felt Like a Kiss)"
Reasons to not like Phil Spector:
-He's a megalomaniac
-He may have shot his wife dead during an argument (I suppose he's no William Burroughs in that regard)
-He played Dr. Kevorkian to the fading esprit de corps of the Beatles
-He may or may not advocate domestic abuse in his songwriting (I personally think that the band Grizzly Bear pretty much hit the mark with their take on the Crystal's classic, when sung by a sullen male voice to take the irony of the track and make it in to a modern Bo-Diddley kind of swagger song)
Did he kill his ex-wife? Probably, he's a crazy motherfucker.
¿XANADU?
Is that Nick Koenig?
Anyways, here's more Phil Spector than I know what to do with, if you want more, then leave a comment:
The Crystals-He Hit Me (And it Felt Like a Kiss):Back to Mono
Bobby B. Soxx & the Blue Jeans-Why Do Lovers Break Each Other's Hearts?
The Ronettes-Walking in the Rain
The Ronettes-Soldier Baby of MineThe Beatles-Long and Winding Road:Let it Be
The perfect storm will crash down upon the Atlantic Division come 2010, which believe you me is on the way, and it may or may not require Lebron James. More to come on my zygote of a theory about idealism, Jorge Luis Borges, NBA perfection, the importance of James Posey, Bobby Brown and Julian Wright to the New Orleans Hornets, the overall expendable nature of basically every player on the Houston Rockets summer league squad, The deep seated fear of mercenary free agents ruining entire seasons of intrigue in a desperate search for the glory of a championship, Jews in the NBA,the ballad of DJ Mbenga, the importance of Run THC (Sean Williams, Yi Jianlin, and (in my funny, jewcentric world) Jordan Farmar), and maybe even a peek at some Chinese people wearing Yi Jerseys.

It's Been a Long Day
Song to play if you work all day to come home to a lover:
Wait-The Beatles:Rubber Soul
Paul McCartney:Sean Marion::The Beatles:Phoenix Suns under Mike D'Antoni
John Lennon:Steve Nash::""
George Harrison:Amáre Stoudemire:""
Ringo Starr: Mike D'Antoni
New York Knicks (2008-): who knows, maybe The Ringo Starr All-Star Band, maybe just a cameo on the Simpsons.
Song to play if you come home to dirty dishes:
Rag Mama Rag-The Band:The Band
It's been a loooong day. Christian Rock is soooo condescending. She said go get a haircut, so I showed her my bare butt. Is this what we want our children to turn in to?

Huelva
Good news: when people now ask me what I'm doing with my life, I can offer a somewhat definitive answer, at least until may 31st.
I'm off to the industrial city of Huelva, located in southwestern Spain, to participate as an English Language Conversation Assistant.
I imagine class will be a lot like this:
