Kraft Janet??

I had a Youtube attack tonight and I was watching vids from PJ Harvey,Kool and The Gang. Then jumped to Michael Jackson then Janet came up. Then I remembered this one song of hers that I liked when it came out. I thought it had a Kraftwerk thing to it. It took me forever to find it but here it is. This is so retarded :)Then the big hoops of Ms. Watley <3 LOL!

SPRING BREAK WTF???!!! NSFW....

My first Day of spring break has led to a bike ride and some cleaning around the house. This video however just stopped me in my tracks. I agree with what a fellow Haunting Mids member said, It does look like the intro of The Cosby Show LOL!

20 YEAR LIST CONTINUES.....

So driving down to San Diego this past Saturday D and I were listening to 93.9. It's a station that plays nothing but 80's and late 70's hits. As we past the giant boobs parked at San Onofre
we are subjected to the tired, hopeless whines of OMD's "If you leave" song from Pretty In Pink. Every time I hear this song It just reminds me that Hugh's fucked up what could have been one of the best nerd gets hottie endings ever! Blane was such a shit eater and Andie fell for it! OK,OK I'm over it....

Another song that threw itself on the 20 year list for me was "Brass in Pocket" by my much loved Pretenders.
Great song yes but It's one of the reasons why the 20 YEAR LIST was started. I've heard it just one too many times. I was telling D that around 1993 I heard a version of it done by Suede on Rodney's show. If you think the original is sexy you have to hear Brett croon and slither those lyrics over the slowed down haunting rhythm. I heard it only that one time. I've been told it was released on a comp called Rubytracks or something like that. It's out of print of course but the version is out there in interwebz space. Hunt it down!

FOR SALE!! FOR SALE!!

I was blessed with the return of my much loved Fender Twin Reverb.


Its a crazy story that you can read here http://acapella.harmony-central.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2254404
So now I'm selling this beast here.


Its a Fender Dual Showman Reverb. This is a 1968 first year model with aluminum "drip" edge. When I got it I don't think the chassis was ever taken out. This amp looked like it was gigged for a while then put away never to see a stage in years. I bought it off EBay and luckily the seller was relatively close proximity so I went to go pick it up with my good friend Mike. It was then taken to my friends at Future Music and was serviced by the resident tech. It was used in the studio for the recording of two Black Kites tracks. The sound of this head is pure Fender clean tone. The reverb on this one is sooooo nice! Damp cave sounds emmit when you dial in the reverb at 5. Scary and beautiful all at once.I don't need two amps and Im also trying to find another drum kit. Well, I found one but I need the money for it. So if you know anyone who needs an amp let them know. I'd like to do a local pick up thing too because I do not want to ship this thing. It's a pain in the ass >:(
Bye!

HELLO!

It's been a while since I posted. I've been kinda busy with the every day blah. Anyhoo I was telling a friend about an old Porky Pig cartoon called "The Last Dodo". It's one of the funniest cartoons I remember from my childhood. It gave me a reason to post something short,sweet and hilarious!

Hello, Yeah.....

So I'm upset about Mickey Rourke not getting an award. Whatever, I loved him and Marrissa Tome In The Wrestler. Hope some of you went to go see Charles play with The French Semester at T's. What else..... not much. Here comes Monday I guess.

SO LONG INDIE 103.1

Today I got word that Indie has pulled the plug on terrestrial broadcast. It's pretty sad to me because my morning listening was Joe Escalante. His brand of "morning zoo" was nothing of that. Wino Wednesday, the sports report with Timothy Olyphant. Cryptic weather reports from David Lynch. Lazy but funny traffic with Jose Galvan and cool voice news from Liz Warner. Another blow from this loss was local music show Check 1-2. A lot of bands from LA got a ton of support from Mr. Shovel. Rollins show was so great too. I'm going to miss it in the car. But as I type this, I'm streaming the station. It was weird hearing on my way home this almost doomsday like message loop telling listeners about the news. I'll miss it.

But thank God for KXLU. I was listening to whats growing to be my favorite show "Part time punks". Today the dj Michael Stock was paying tribute to uber-influential label Factory Records. Right before my run walk/run at Evergreen Cemetery, he read one of the last ever written letters by Ian Curtis. While he was reading it, it kinda seemed like he was choked up by the content. The fact that it was the last ever communication from this very talented young man, to who I think was his lady on the side. Whatever he was feeling, you don't hear radio like this just anywhere. After he read the letter he played a demo of Joy Division doing one of my all time favorite songs "Ceremony". I turned off the radio and went for a walk around a very apt place of scenery. Well when I got back in the car I heard him say that this Sunday night Part Time Punks will have a Factory Records night at the Echo. It's my B-day weekend and I have Monday off so I think I will get all moody and reflective and go listen to some great music and have my share of drinks. Hope to see you there!
