So, I saw INTERPOL last night and they were incredible. It was a really tight, really emotional and fun set. They seem to be finding their legs as performers a little more, because they were animated and even talked to the crowd. NYC and PDA were obvious highlights, but the entire set kicked ass. The crowd was boys, boys, and more boys. But, lots of...

So, here's a picture of my new toy. It's a portable turntable by Vestax. I'm really happy because 98% of my music collection is on vinyl and now, when I go to a friend's house that's vinyly challenged, I can bring my own shit. It plugs right into any stereo.
I know this is geeky, but trust me, it impacts my life hugely.

Dude-man. We missed each other. Quelle drag. Well, with any luck I'll be back in a few weeks. I'll keep you informed.
So I just had a great time hanging out with Mark Kozelek, who is such a great guy. It took a lot for me to blow off Booshanky's, which I know was fucking exquisite. But Mark was only in town for today.

I'm already late to meet my friends at Amoeba and spend other peoples money (petty cash, baby).
Then I'm gonna meet my friend Mark Kozelek, from the band Red House Painters, and go eat German chow at the Red Lion. Then I wanna talk them into driving down to Booshanky's. If they don't go for the drive, we may...

i'd rather be shopping at amoeba with you.
story for you:
i had never met anyone like ron diamondstein, when i first met him in 1993 at kalx in berkeley. he was a genine new york-bred jew, with a REALLY thick accent. he was also extremely intelligent and well read- i used to love to listen to his reviews of books and movies, just for the combination of that thick accent and big words. he was also a big-time junkie. he was such a romantic character to me, and i knew that i had to cherish every moment i knew him, b/c if he kept on the path he was on, he would surely die.
anyway, whenever he shot up, he would become very animated. there were a lot of great stories from when ron was high, but my favorite one was from when he and a few other people from kalx went to go see a red house painters show. this was in 1993, remember, so they weren't all that popular yet. there weren't that many people at the show, and after each song the crowd barely clapped. after a few songs with nothing but, 'clap........clap.......clap.......clap......' from the audience, ron decided to clap furiously after each song and yell,'horse with no name! horse with no name!'
you kinda have to know ron to appreciate that story
oh, and he stopped doing heroin about 5 years ago, so he ain't dead

Love and Rockets, Lush, Cocteau Twins, Pixies, Smiths, Siouxsie, Naked Raygun, Dead Can Dance, Big Black, Alien Sex Fiend, etc. All those pre-Nevermind bands. We took them a little for granted back in the day. That was a mistake. But, to be honest, we didn't see the Good Charlotte/Avril/Pearl Jam train coming.

dude thanks a lot for your commetns am glad someone here digs niblock -- he's sooo great. i love a good dreamy drone kinda thing -- rafael toral, amp, spacement 3's "dreamweapon," la monte young, etc.
why's everyone like interpol so much? aren't they just joy division minus the pathos (lame word i know -- i'm tired) and plus the silly anthems of like chameleons? oh well i'm seeing 'em tomorrow and i will totally do my best to keep an open open open mind! g'night.

yeah i'll let you know re: interpol live -- am going on sort of a date to this show with this girl C but i'm already dating this other girl K, so ... we'll see.
All your drone choices are great, yes. Superb taste you have. While at Amazon the music editors were asked to create at least 50 "Listmania" lists and one of the ones I did was all drone sorta music -- I think it stands up -- I'd add Ash Ra Temple to it though:

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.
I hate hangovers during the day.
But, I hate sobriety when I'm bored.
Right now, I'm stone sober and stone bored. I can't believe legit people watch tv. It's fucking awful!! Still, I was never an academic either, so my relationship with literature is hit and miss at best.

Los Angeles is such a strange place. It's ability to offend people is really funny to me. It's common to hear people speak of it like it's a sentient being, rather than a geographical location. "It did this and it did that.." People don't trust it and would never let it date their daughters.

Oneida, yes they are pretty awesome. I actually saw them a few days after Sept. 11 2001 in Brooklyn -- I'd gone out to NY to visit friends having lived there for 8 years at one time, and also I was out there for work, for the CMJ music convention which of course got cancelled. But there were still all these shows scheduled for the weekend right afterwards, and a handful of them did happen (after much debate.) I saw my favorite band, The Clean from New Zealand, whose song about there being "too much violence" certainly felt apt; then I headed out to this cool club in a friend's apt. called something robot, not giant robot and it's not save the robots.
Anyway, Oneida played in these people's big sweaty loft and the first song was "sheets of easter" which i'd never heard before its on their last record -- basically they chant the same word over and over again on top of these repeating riffs for like 8 minutes before there finally is a chord change, and it's really loud. I coulda sworn they were singing "Life life life life!" and after what had just happened, it was just the most amazing, cathartic thing, I fucking was like laughing and crying at the same time I think, so yeah before that I just thought they were like Can meets Deep Purple or whatever I had no idea how great they could be and of course that situation was extraordinary...

Jason Lee's having a party tonight to show off an artist he's been collecting work from named Chad Robertson.

Jason's got an incredible gallery downtown and really excellent taste in art. Well, I say it's excellent because it's exactly what I'd buy if I was rich.
Any you LA critters wanna go with? Alice? EricAllen? Hello? Where's Yosi??

i have too many back problems now to do any furniture rearrangement now. how about you come over, wear some tight pants, take off your shirt, and i can watch you get all sweaty while you rearrange mine?
and, unfortunately, it still is illegal, and that sucks. there was one case in the 80's where the guy was busted for statutory rape, even though the girl was actually a year OLDER than he [he was 16, she was 17]
pooh- i'm not even in your profile anymore...that is, when you had 'see friends list' under 'why i love suicide girls.'
