Welcome all eyes. I'm very excited about the double best of Iggy Pop that came out last week. It has 8 Stooges tracks on it & the rest Iggy. Also the DM cd is completed!!! I'm a Fiend for Ben Hillier the producer, I can't wait to hear who he produces next? Maybe Blur or Tindersticks would be nice. I hope London finds a way...

Welcome to my journal,
I must confess that I am truely in Love with the Doves!!! For three guys to produce there sound, all share the lead vocal spot & write such heart felt & honest lyrics is well respected in my book. Listening to them reminds me of a cool fall afternoon walking through the leaves wearing a long wool overcoat with a grey...

It's a 'long bob' wig, apparently, although I am pretty sure it is actually long considering the price tag and its sheer length.
It's auburn. I can be an auburn bombshell with expensive hair. Hooray.
I haven't heard the new Weezer album, after the Green album I was really put off.

Thanks for the Doves recommendation!
Welcome dear SGers of the World,
I've been thinking about religon & more specificly the Our Father Prayer. In the end the line is "thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven" What exactly does that mean I wonder? If infact there is a Heaven I will be the same as I am here on earth. Our that Heaven...

Oh the topic of religion! "Thy will be done..." I've aways understood it to mean that god's will is to be done which seems like an easy way to explain the bad things in life. "Oh your baby died? That must have been god's will." Which is one reason I have a problem with god being so "loving" yet allowing so many horrible things to happen. Did you ever see the movie "What Dreams May Come?" I liked their idea of heaven.... heaven is what YOU make it. Which means my dog will be there, something that many Christians don't believe since animals supposedly don't have souls. Spend a week with my dog and tell me she has no soul!
How was your 4th? Anything going on with possibly buying a condo? We spent much of the weekend trying to clean and straighten up since I now have a room full of my crap and his crap. Then we went to a friend's for food and drinks and poker and fireworks!
We're going to see Dinosaur Jr. tomorrow with some out of town friends, so that should be good. Then my niece's first birthday party is Sunday. I've never been a baby person, but she's at the age (well.... past the age) where she's learning things and noticing things and it's just a neat thing to watch. Plus, she's a super happy girl, which is always fun!
What's up with the love thing? Did you meet someone? Remember, time is most always your friend!
Happy Wednesday!

I love Doves! They are amazing.
Thanks for the warm thoughts and compliments.
You are a true buddy.

Greetings SG readers,
Well, the Interpol show was all that I wanted it to be & more!!! The Doves sold-out & I'm happy for them!! Been listening to "Up the Bracket" Libertines a lot. The new Oasis is pretty good, it's a bit harder to swallow at first so I'm taking baby bites. Just finished Season 3 of "6 ft Under" I wish they'd hurry...

Hope all is well. Hadn't heard from you in awhile. What's been going on?
Good day SG viewers. Well, it's been awhile hasn't it? So, I saw the Pixes on Saturday night here in there home town. Frank really runs a tight ship on stage but, they were all smiles. Word is the new records on it's way. This week I have Interpol & Social Distortion back 2 back!!! Old 97's soon after & Doves also. I'll be moving...

Well, then there were nine. It's been rather dead over here for awhile? I picked up "With Teeth" & feel that the loss of Danny Loner has hurt NIN's future a lot. There are 3 stand out tracks among 12 or so. I love Gordie White but I don't believe Trent gave him much room to explore. NIN has gave way to A Perfect Circle...

yeah man, the sad thing is that the older albums always seem to outshine the newer workings.....i can hardly think of a band who's newest cd is better than their first 2 (depeche mode & new order are the only ones i can think of that got better after 3 releases..)
i am still working on getting the cds together for you. i am finishing a second dj set, so when its done, all the stuff will be sent

It is pouring outside right now! It started a few hours ago before wake up time. While I love hearing storms, the pup won't go outside to go to the bathroom (not that I blame her).
I have spent much of the past 2 weeks helping the boyfriend pack and move. We spent all weekend actually moving and cleaning his old house. I hate moving, especially when it's not my stuff! My mom is changing schools so I get to help her move school stuff the next 2 days. I'll be glad when it's over and I can relax!
The only other time I havelived with a boyfriend was not good. But it wasn't a good relationship to start, so I'm not too worried about this time. It's just those bad memories lurking in the back of my mind. Time to get over those, eh?
What's new in sunny Portland? I saw "Sin City" and "Star Wars" recently. "Sin City" was good visually, but that's about it. "Star Wars" seriously lacked a decent script. I swear some soap opera writer could have written more believable love scenes.
How goes the townhouse search? Searching for housing of any kind is a pain! I hope it goes smoothly for you!
Why is it that most bands seem to reach a point where people say "The last album I like was.... (insert random album name that is 5 albums old)." So sad.... not to say that some bands can't eventually recover, but many do not. I'm liking what I have heard of New Order's new album although I hadn't liked much since "Technique." I guess I just really like 80s music and some fro the early 90s most and no one seems to be making that anymore.
Happy short week! Do anything exciting over the 3 day?

Well, the Doves cancelled due to sickness & will return in June. I'm put on the guest list for the sold-out Interpol show in 2 months!! I'm thinking of ordering the Tindersticks 2 disc best of 04 from Tower? I saw on Ween's latest Quebec that Josh Freeze drums for them, I can't believe all the places he & Grohl & Reflin turn up!!...

I suck and for that I am sorry! You certainly did nothing to offend me... I just got caught up with life for a while, especially with finals last week. I spent last week and the week before doing a ton of studying because I realized I had a chance at getting 2 As in the 2 science classes I had assumed I would get Bs in. It was this big carrot, dangling in front of me.... saying "if you bust your butt, you might be able to get As." So, I busted my butt and did somehow manage to get As. Science classes don't come naturally to me so I always expect Bs. It was nice to see my work rewarded though. Now my new semester startes this week. Not even a week off.
How's your school going? I can't remember if you were taking the summer off or not... I don't think you were. So you ended up swinging some Interpol tickets after all? You'll have to let me know if they're as good as I've heard they are.
The boyfriend is moving in at the end of this month. He was going to move in when his lease ended in October but his roomie wanted to break the lease and their landlords were cool about it so I'll be living with a boy in a few weeks! Last time I did this (many years ago) it did not end well, so I'm a tad nervous about it. Of course, that relationship was bad also so that didn't help. It will be nice not having to trek back and forth between houses though.... that always sucks!
Do anything fun this weekend? Florida summer weather is starting to come full force.... highs around 85 all weekend and too much humidity! Bleh! I need to get some yard work done before it gets too nasty out there.
Alright... I'm off to take the pup to the vet. The classes I'm taking this summer are easier than last semester (sociology, american lit 2 and yucky speech) so I swear I'll be better at keeping up with you! Again, I'm sorry! I hate that you felt bad because I was a slacker! Talk soon!

i like the new order cd. i didn't like track 1 so when i heard that i was scared. but then it got better. to me, i will always like the older stuff more. but its a good cd. i just wish it had that "old new wave" feel to it like their older stuff dabbled in. i think it will grow on me too as i play it more. first impressions on music are never correct really. i also icked up the next 3 cure remastered cds. "pornography" is practically my all time fav. cure cd so i was thrilled to get it remastered with a whole extra cd of bonus raritities. depeche mode is done recording all their songs. now its all about post mixing and the final touches. hope to hear that album by fall.
Greetings,
Tonight I finished a "Early Years" mix of Ministry from 81-86. It's the New Waver within me that yearns for that sort of music still. I'll be starting on Lamb soon. Tonight I watched "Coffee & Cigarettes" by Jim Jarmusch & it was really quite good in a french new wave type black & white feel. Iggy Pop & Tom Waitts sit down &...

Ahhhhhh Ministry! I have to admit, their early stuff isn't my favorite. I'd probably have to choose their more industrial stuff. The last album I have of theirs is Filth Pig and I hate it. I don't know what they've been doing lately, but I don't think they're the Ministry I used to know and love.
I bought Coffee and Cigarettes on a whim. I didn't like all of it, but it's a good watch overall. The Bill Murray part was my favorite though!
I watched "American Psycho" the other night. I remember when I first discovered Bret Easton Ellis via "Less Than Zero" (first the movie, then the book). You'll have to let me know how The Informers is because I'm in need of some good reading!
Any news on theinternship? Is it a definite? Happy Wednesday!
