my phone wakes me up. It has a math problem challenge to turn it off, so it makes sure I am up.
Wow that sounds annoying.
Plain old FM random song wake up. Not even sure what station or anything as it gets turned off immediately.
-
Ooh, is it good? How's the sound quality?
Not as good as I would have hoped for a professionally recorded album. Sounds a bit thin and bootleggy. But having said that, it's a great record and the sound is good enough to make it worthwhile.

It really is amazing. My vocab has already increased so much. Saw this book described as a story that shattered and he is picking up the pieces and that is kind of what if feels like right now. But so far I am having no problem keeping track of characters and what is going on. Pretty amazing he wrote this book pre-internet. The constant footnote interruptions, the flipping back and forth, the looking up of words, all reflect modern life and how people operate these days with all the distractions. Liking it more than I ever thought I would. Each sentence is such a treasure trove of ideas. And I would not skip the footnotes, adds quite a bit to the book.

He may not want to toot his own horn here, but I will for him. This shot by Mr. Tinnitus Photography was chosen as the top concert photo of the year in Boston by Bowery Boston Presents. Actually it was a 3-way tie, but that's still a winner. Check out Bowery Boston on Facebook. Congrats to Tim.
Wow, nice work!

how many face lifts has Judge Reinhold withstood?
Why must you judge him?

Finally got the nerve and started this baby on January 1st. So far I'm blown away and loving it. Not nearly as inpenetratable as Gravity's Rainbow which defeated me. But I do keep a dictionary nearby.

Just this one:

I actually enjoyed the hell out of this movie.
-
A few that come to mind:
Guided by voices - Universal truths tour - I know many people have experienced this probably but Robert Pollard handed me a budweiser out of the band cooler.
Nash Kato - solo tour-5/17/2000- Troubadour - Sometime mid show he called out "Where's Blackie? I lived in a van with this guy for 15 years." Then Blackie Onassis comes out of the audience up to the stage to play drums on a few Urge Overkill tunes. At the same show I helped crowd surf Jason Schwartzman as he sang SONG 2 from Blur. He was still in headliner Phantom planet at that time.
Pearl Jam - June 24, 1995 - San Fransisco, Eddie comes out and does 3 songs then disappears. Neil Young then comes out and proceeds to do the rest of the show with Pearl Jam as his backing band since Eddie was backstage with the flu. Cortez was epic.

Re: Mission of Burma
Does Roger not wear those big ear protectors anymore on stage?

Based on tinnitus' review from another thread, I would really like to see Ty Segall. Parquet courts is probably the top of my list right now. Survival Knife as well.

Bummer. One of our Colorado peeps.

only have tickets for one show so far:
Sleater-Kinney (03/02 Toronto, ON - Sound Academy)
Plan on seeing a bunch more though.
I'm kind of worried. Bought tickets for Sleater Kinney in February but may be moving to Pennsylvania for a job opportunity and might have to miss it.

My final list. Just can't get enough of that Real Estate album. Wore that one out this year:
- Real Estate – Atlas
- Parquet Courts – Sunbathing Animal
- Ty Segall – Manipulator
- Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – Wigout at Jagbags
- Survival knife – Loose Power
- The War on Drugs – Lost in the dream
- Sun Kil moon – Benji
- Against Me! – Transgender Dysphoria Blues
- Swans – To be kind
- Courtney Barnett – The Double EP: A Sea of Split Peas

interesting. I used Beyonce's clothed behind as my avatar and was told to remove it, but apparently we can post John Lennon's naked ass. Good to know.
It's such a fine line between stupid and clever.

One of my favorite releases of the year - Survival Knife
-
How dare some of you question the SRV choice! Seriously though, he did lead a huge resurgence in blues music which was dying off at the time.
-
Nice! G&L's are quality instruments.
-
Some serious sales going on at the GBV store. Tons of CD's for $3, $10 vinyl:

Wow, this is a strange book but I am really enjoying it.
-
Same here. I sent my mother out on a quest for Elton John's version in 1975 but she came back with The Who's single. Best allowance dollar I ever spent.
Sadly I ended up with the Tommy Movie Soundtrack instead of the Who version. Nothing quite like Oliver Reed singing. But it certainly lead me to the real thing.
-
This may sound crazy but Elton Johns Pinball wizard was my entry into The Who. Hey I was 7.
-
What an experience this would be:
Wow. Hate to say it but I think I would be so uncomfortable that I would not enjoy it like I should.
