So I saw the Mekons last night. I'd never bought any of their albums, but I'd always see them mentioned on the periphery of The Rock World: mag articles, votes in the Voice poll, a video once years ago (back when a small band or label could still find some video outlet in the United States; those days are long gone. The evidence I've seen...

Thanks for posting on my pics!

Hey what do you think of me recording those Neil Young 'boots to CDR for you? Just a thought.
There are finally movies out that I might consider going to: Hidalgo, that Depp/ Stephen King thing (...okay, it's Secret Window... yes, I used the web to look it up, but I prefer to not look every last damn thing up online. It get's tedious, as does italicizing titles)(but I bold-ed in "every" because there are nitpickers online who expect you to never start threads...

I actually haven't read that last Dirk Gently book. Just the 'Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul', which is alos one of the coolest titles a novel ever had.
Given the cliffhanger you talk about, I may just avoid that second book...

I didn't do most of those things last night. 
I ended up finding and reading a couple of stories my ex-boss copied up for his Latin American book group... so now I've read my first Conrad and Borges, all in one week.
Watched some Gong Show on tape. Whew, love that show. Haven't seen the Clooney/Rockwell film yet, but Chuckiebaby is the only person I...

I'm a bit sad
...no, it's nothing major, it's just that... there aren't enough hours left in the day for me to do what I want. Which is:
-- listen to Amazon clips of about 10 or 12 obscure jazz freaks, such as Booker Ervin, Mal Waldron, Sam Rivers, Ben Schachter, Rob Reddy's Honor System, Henry Threadgill, Ralph Simon, Dewey Redman, Jemeel Moondoc, etc etc......

Cool, you had a dream predicting my journal entry! ESP.

Maybe if I was a halfway organized human being I could let you chomp at some Karoli.
I wasn't around on here last night 'cuz I was reading Heart of Darkness.
Good stuff, and quite short, if anyone hasn't read it yet. I was surprised that there's little direct dialogue with Kurtz (not SG Kurtz, the character Kurtz), and events are kept kinda vague so I'm glad I'd seen Apocalypse Now so I could, for instance, go "Oh, that's the Dennis...

P.S. - You can see my adidas pretty good, though.

I need to re-read that book.
Anybody have any ideas for birthday presents I can suggest for my mom to buy for me?
She has asked me what I want.
I'm a grown boy now, and have basically bought everything I could need in this world, and just listing a bunch of CDs seems tired.

With what little I've seen of both the Nessica and Darmen couple shows...I would have to agree with you. Isn't Navarro supposed to be this interesting musician from a groundbreaking band? It all seems dull.
coldenginelogix:
Well, all good suggestions thus far-here is mine-
Billy Childish and thee headcoats-180 gram triple gatefold vinyl of collected singles
MAGAZINE-box set
Swedish massage-yeah, I have never had one...but fuck sounds like fun....
a pair of Carhart pants--always handy
a decent swiss army knife
or.....or......or
go to the AK PRESS website...have your mom pay for a frinds of AK for a year--and get every title they publish in a year for free....plus a 10% discount on whatever else.......cheers! and happy birthday

Forgive my brevity; I assume most folks aren't around on the weekend anyway:
1) Took mom to birthday dinner
2) I think I got food poisoning... maybe a virus
3) Much of this
during the night
4) I feel like hell
5) I managed to make a couple of mix CDs, finally... to be honest, illness or not, I wouldn't have done much more than...

I don't know what HST would say. Maybe it's time I started reading some of his stuff, too. But then, maybe I shouldn't. Maybe he'll just tell me what I already know, but articulate it more clearly than I've previously read, or differently. All I really know about him is from the Gilliam movie. I dunno. Is he just a big, fat, incessant cynic? Don't know if I need any more of that right now. Like... take Vonnegut. I think I've read everything he ever wrote. Unfortunately, I think I read 90% of it in a month or two of straight-through reading. Left me incredibly depressed. He's a brilliant writer, one of my favorites. But after reading his stuff, I find myself seeing the world through deeply cynical lenses, you know? Is Thompson like that?

Satellite's gone up to the sky
things like that drive me out of my mind
I watched it for a little while
I like to watch things on TV

Fuck the police cummin straight from the undaground.
DragonflyCQ mentioned that the show Carnivale is like a puzzle. You know, that instantly jogged my memory to a book I think most SGers would love: Masquerade by Kit Williams.
My sixth grade teacher introduced us to it. Kit Williams was a philosopher/ merchant marine who looked like a cross of Jim Henson, a wood sprite, and a Hawkwind roadie. He made this sprawling, ultra-psychedelic...

Yes. I am a butt polyp on TV.

I had a feeling you would like that show. It's heaven for rock music geeks.

If I was Clear Channel, I'd fire all of these clackdish-sucking drones and replace them with Little Steven and our own braveliltoaster.
Please, remember - ROCK

Who in this day and age listens to any mainstream radio......we are all erecting midnight towers.....awaiting the revolution

No....usually I do all my killing. He just happened to be in the mood for killing landlords.
I'm very much into the Electrotrash as well. Fischerspooner and Adult are the top notch ways to go. Also check Miss Kitten & the Hacker, Felix the Housecat (though those two are often times a bit house-ier than I'd like), Shapeshifter, Ladytron, and Tiga. Tiga's got a DJ Kicks album on the !K7 label that's pretty sweet. I've been listening to a lot of DJ Kicks lately. The Andrea Parker and Terranova kick ass (esp the Andrea Parker...it's got a lot of 80's old skool new wave-hip hop ontop of almost european tribal beats). I've also been up on the Indietronica side of things with bands like the Notwist, Tarwater, Lali Puna, Jan Jelenik (Farben), Dntel (beatmaster from the Postal Service), Mum, Autechre, Boards of Canada; and more hip hop-ier stuff like Dabrye, Prefuse 73 (and his new project Savath & Savalas which would fall in the indietronica category with it's upright bass and violin) Chicken Lips (another DJ Kicks), and Crazy Penis (good amount of disco-funk). Uhhhh....I just realized I went on quite a rant about electronica....you're probably overwhelmed.....Doht!
Carnivale.....is the shit....I don't think it's on HBO On Demand anymore, but they're gonna release it on DVD. And I HIGHLY recommend buying it. You can't watch it enough. It's super twisted yet very much laid out in a pattern. I fucking love it. It's probably one of the best puzzles I've run across in a very long time. You'll think you've got it all figured out, then they'll turn around and do a scene that totally blows your theory. I'm DETERMINED to figure it out before any of my friends do.
