I went golfing yesterday. There's something strangely enjoyable about smacking around a little white ball with a club untill it falls into a hole in the ground (and looking ridiculous while doing it). I know, it sounds crazy, but yesterday was perfect for doing such things.

Golf runs through my blood....careful, I may challenge you to a round, kind sir... wink

I was lying in bed last night, wide awake, and I got this idea in my head that I must own The Police "Ghost in the Machine" CD. Why? I don't know. So it made me really start thinking. That was one of those albums that just affected me the first time I heard it. Then I started thinking about all of the other songs...

jane's addictions nothing shocking always reminds me of summer...I spent the entire summer before by senior year of high school at house in nantucket with my family...that was the only disc I brought and I must have listened to it a million times...whenever I hear the song summertime rolls, I can practically smell sea spray...

I'm convinced that I'm a hobo magnet...they don't tell me their life story, they ask me if I need help with something...I think that's ironic considering they're homeless...I also always look kinda clueless, so that probably has a lot to do with it...
rude_ruca:
We should talk about this music addiction that we both seem to have over the phone sometime. However, I think we may never get off of the phone! I've always been a HBMS fan, myself, so it'd be way cool to see what they've done with Jack Johnson. As far as the Kaiser Chiefs are concerned, they are WAY better live than they are on their recorded studio effort, I think anyway. And that's cool that you got the same feel from "I predict a riot"...I thought it screamed Ramones influence. ok, so to answer your questions:

1. My first tape with MY OWN cash was Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream (though I remember having gish in my hand at the time, but I just thought "Cherub Rock" rocked way hard!). My first CD was The Counting Crows. August and everything after.

2. Sublime's self titled reminds me of summer, a million times over. When this time of year rolls around, they are ALWAYS on my cd player.

3. Led Zepplin's physical graffitti, on vinyl, no less. Dad had it. I jumped on my trampolene to it at 3 years old. Black Oak Arkansas made me understand southern rock, and what it should be. Lauren Hill's first release inspired me to explore conscious rap. In 9th grade, when Bob Marley's "Legends" came out, I was hooked. After hearing that album, I went on a total quest to find out what this thing called reggae was. It's been bliss ever since.

4. I am a hopeless romantic, so there is no ONE song. However, there are a couple of songs on Van Morrison's Moondance and Asteral Weeks releases that I want to make love to some day....

5. A Perfect Circle's Mer de Noms. From start to finish, it seemed to have told the story of a true heartbreak I expirenced two years ago. Needless to say, I can no longer listen to this album without it tugging at my heart strings.

6. I will sing to just about any song. The Rolling Stone's "wild Horses", always Van Morrison's "Brown eyed girl", becasue I mean, c'mon, that IS my theme song!

7. I love to dance. Again, I will move to just about anything!

8. A song by Third Eye Blind, on their first release. The song title escapes me, but it's track 11. Unfortunately, not a lot of the guys that I've been with have liked to have music on while gettin' it on. A Shame, I know frown whatever

So, hope that has answered your questions, luv. Sorry it took song long for me to wswing back through. But again, let's keep in touch...you seem to be the ONLY one I can talk to about my habit right now. Lmao!!! wink ooo aaa kiss

This weekend, I became the home repair guy I never knew I could be. There's all these little things that have to be done before the closing. The list seemed so long, but I was able to knock out almost the whole thing over Saturday and Sunday.

Other than home repair, the weekend was pretty much shot. I did hook up with some old friends...

I saw Sin City last night. The movie was like watching the comic (which I guess was the point). In the comic, Frank Miller mastered the use of black & white negative space in his artwork. The movie was kind of filmed in the same way, which was incredible. Even if you're not a fan of the comic, go see it.

I also saw a...

350 WoD books... and growing. My goal is to own all the ones ever printed (except the new WoD 2.0 stuff).
rude_ruca:
Thats awesome to know! (about the music that is) becasue I thought there was going to be a huge revolt held against me for giving Louis XIV a poor review. It's more or less due to the fact that i also picked up the re-issue of the Rolling Stones' "Made in the Shade"--one of MY faves! Compared to them, Louis' light shone dimly, and well, I just thought it was mediocre.

Wow. I kinda flipped out at the post office this morning. First off, the post office near my store is the worst one on the face of the earth. Secondly, they have a business line which I'm supposed to be able to use without delay, but it's NEVER open. There was about twenty people in line, and only two tellers. One of the tellers was...

I always complain about the weather, but it really sucks to be working all the live long day when it's so beautiful outside. These are some of the first nice days of the year, and I'm sure there will be more. I can't wait to start bike riding a lot more.

Blah, the Pirates lost the opener! ARRR!!!

I'm preparing to move to a bigger house, so I was packing all weekend. In doing so, I realized that I own way too many books. The problem with packing books is that you want to look at them before you pack them up. Thanks to alyk, I had my nose burried in my favorite Basquiat books, and it took me that much longer...

I was listening to XM Public Radio this morning on the way to work. There's a pretty cool talk show called Studio 360 where they talk to artists, writers, etc. Anyway, the topic on this mornings show was the lost art of letter writing. I thought it was kind of interesting, because I used to send letters and artwork to people in the mail. Now,...

My day was one big shit storm. I really hate having to fix someone elses problems on top of my own. By the time I got home, I couldn't even think anymore. I'm in total veg out mode. surreal

Basquiat is without a doubt my major love...nothing else compares...Koons, yeah I know...he's kinda like a mangy dog...no one else wants to love him, so I feel like it's my responsibility to care about him...but, yes I am aware his work is complete shit... wink
