Hmmm. What have I been up to? Not much. Last week was much more impressive. I'm actually still recovering from it. The show was ok.. I was too tired to be properly organized.
Today I must do many things.. but nothing too hard.
Last night my friend Connor came over and we hung out for hours.. cooked a nice pasta verde, drank some fun, and...

This doesn't make any sense. I feel like a social leper. I don't know it just seems like I'm getting off on the wrong foot or something every time I meet someone / do something. 
Despite the fact that I've been to 5 shows in a week and seen 11 (yes 11) bands play in 8 days. They are: David P. Smith, opening guy who's...

So I've started as music director at my station.. which is kinda fun, but also a bit stressful. Today is my crazy week of workin' all day and party'in all night.. every day o' the week!

I was an MD at a small FM station when I was in high school. What a beautiful way to amass a huge collection of crappy promo discs. But it got me into Slowdive, for which I will never complain.
I never got Fahey's obsession with Charlie Feathers, but I've read that the packaging for that set is supposed to be really beautiful. There was a long-ish interview with Revenant's main designer in the last Sound Collector issue, I think.

And I'm broadcasting..
and I'm now done broadcasting.
Hope everyone who listened enjoyed the show.. to those who missed it (well you missed a rockin' show), but there's always next week.
I'll probably edit my journal again tomorrow (or rather.. later today) to include the playlist from the show for your perusal.
Oh and for Ophelia.. it's CFUV 101.9 on FM. Glad you could tune...

Do you think Zeppelin took the name of that one song from the Roy Orbison album? I mean, it's not exactly a common phrase in pop music.
Anyway. I keep forgetting to mention that I actually see Jazzy Jeff quite often, as he still does some club gigs in Philly once in a while. A friend of mine apparently repaired one of his guitars. Multi-talented instrumentalist, that Mr. Jeff!
Have you listened to any of the Theoretical Girls stuff, the band Branca was in before he started doing the symphonies?

I apologize to those I missed at Pride today. I was soo tired after my misadventures last night that I slept WAY in.
I did manage to hit the Hootenanny (within walking distance of home) to catch Carolyn Mark and Amy Honey play and drink some beers with them. (Amy Honey and David P. Smith's shows last night rocked too) Nice beer drinkin' in the...

Pride week was so much fun here. The parade was WAY too fucking crowded though but funfunfun anyway. Oh lots of weird pro-gay religious groups there too! Weird!
Hmmm. Where shall I start?
Well I've been being talked about a lot recently (not necessarily in a bad way) Rumours about me going around (not all of which untrue)
a) That I told Amy Goodman (host of the internatioanally syndicated radio show Democracy Now!) that she had nice pants while I was in Winnipeg.

Hey boy....! Oh yes it was my bf who i whooped up at UNO. I'm obsessed! Such a nerd.
The BBQ was rad!!!!! See the posting on the hook-up thread....Minimalism started it. There were lots of dancehall DJs, many hot dogs and Autumn showed up with these wild and crazy dreadlocks. Duh, i said that. I got rooftop tar all over my fave skirt and got sunburned beyond. Met lots of members from all over including Philly, Milwaukee, Boston. It was wild!!!! What did you do for the 4th???

"How shall I put it? Beauty-yes, beauty is like a decayed tooth. It rubs against one's tongue, it hangs there, hurting one, insisting on its own existence. Finally it gets so that one cannot stand the pain and one goes to the dentist to have the tooth extracted. Then, as one looks at the small, dirty, brown, blood-stained tooth lying in one's own hand, one's...

iye, kate's me lady. hehe. she rocks socks! i'm not working for anyone these days...she'll tell you the same that i will, that maybe 10% of those people actually give a shit about music anymore (it's a wonder why the industry is hurting, eh?). i'm taking my former fatcat boss to court right now and will probably start a label (or something similar) off that money...
Woo woo! My journal got to 2 pages of comments! That's a first for me.. I almost didn't want to update. Shout outs to Bryn and Kittyrollins !
I just got up and I'm listening to Somebody Needs a Timeout (41 Canadian artists doing songs for children) it's sooo good. "Turkeys are the Smartest Birds" is playing right now. Groovy.

Has this "Somebody needs a" any connection to the Langley Schools Music Project?
I have been thinking, recently, about bands that have played major roles in cinema. Yo La Tengo as the Velvet Underground in I Shot Andy Warhol, the "Backbeat Band" as the Beatles for Backbeat; I feel like you, with your relatively encyclopedic (or at least far-ranging) interests could guide me well. I was extremely disappointed to learn that, for example, the 28 Days Later soundtrack is being released without that GYBE! track. I mean really, that would be like releasing a Chinatown soundtrack without the main theme.

NONONO!!!! water and fire are NOT good love matches. air [depending on the signs] could be an ok matc. earth would probably be better. but really, you should stick to fire. that means other Aries, Leos, and of course, Sagittarius. [sags are the best!]
]You know those days when you have a lot to get and you pretty much get all of it done.
Well this was one of those days.
Got Montreal bages w/ this amazing cream cheese from the best bagel place in town. So nice.

Today today. What did I do today?
I designed a shirt for someone. It's really cool. Hopefully it will turn out as well as I hope.
I browsed around downtown.
I procrastinated doing many things.
I ate a cheese bun, a philly cheese steak, fries with blue cheese dip, and a Ben and Jerry's ice cream bar. (mmm)
I panicked when I noticed the suicidegirls...

death of socrates is definitely a very cool painting. i love going to the philly museum, cause of the armory and the Dali's, and the golden erection, et al. but i do love the Met too. possibly because they have the most famous and amazing pieces in America? and the Klimt that i saw and almost leaked out of every single orifice b/c of it......
