Johnny Socks

 

 

Personally, we got them from a wonderful pal out East....but you can order them here:

 

Uncommon Goods

Did they really come in that box? That's even cooler! When I ordered them there was only a picture of them out of the box!

Peel. Spring Forward. Fall Back.

Some mellowish, leaves falling, air cooling, windows rolled up in the car songs.

Ollabelle - Before This Time

Peter Mulvey - The Fly

Ray LaMontagne - Lead Me On

Steven Stills - Treetop Flyer

Jim White - Sleepy Town

Aimee Mann - Backfire

Glen Phillips - Simple

Sparklehorse - Waiting For Nothing

The Magic Numbers - Mornings Eleven

Damien Dempsey - Sing All Our Cares Away

they just now fit!

I figured it might take a while.....but I knew immediately they'd be worth the wait!

If you ever find a pair of ladies size 9's feel free to return the favor.

Holy crap, they look even more real than I thought they would!

This made my day.

two words...johnny socks.

I was wondering if I'd ever see that!

speaking of mixes, I picked up a used copy of some Grand Royal B-boy promo sampler that must have been released around Ill Communication yesterday, w/ a bunch of remixes of Sureshot (amongst other things) and, even better, '33% God'...the original Dust Brothers track that inspired 'Shake Your Rump'. You in, johnny?

I don't know about Mister Stevens, but Miss Stephens is interested.

Heh, I just posted in the NP thread.

Lyrically and musically I love it....if only I could take out the female vocal track. She may have a beautiful voice but it really irritates the hell out of me after a while.

Funny, that's what I love about it. I totally understand why that would turn some people off though.

I saw them once (Candy Butchers, I mean) opening for someone else....I wasn't all that impressed.

Candy Butchers - Play With Your Head

One of those reliable albums I drag out when I don't feel like listening to anything else.

That's the guy that wrote all the Wonders songs for "That Thing You Do".....am I right?

As long as there are no songs entitled "Renee"......

"9" = number of years it seems have passed since "O" was released.

please don't suck, please don't suck, please don't suck

No, thanks, I'll look for it.

I'm putting up my shitty pictures from CBGBs this weekend.

Death to the Pixies

That's not a very nice thing to say.

NP:

It's a Mike Patton kind of day.

Got tickets to see them in NYC on the 29th.

But if you really aren't into "country music" (whatever that means)

I would call it "Southern Rock" before I'd call it "country". DBT anyway.

Even if you've never heard a note, do yourself a favor and check them out.

 

Me too

DO NOT SKIP THIS SHOW.

Like Nobody Girl, I went to the NYC show the night after Wilco on NYE, and although I had a couple of their albums nothing could have prepared me for the 3 1/2 hour onslaught of amazing rock I witnessed. I'll be seeing them next week with Bobby Bare Jr as well. Can't fucking wait.

A word of warning though, bring earplugs. Seriously.

I'm going to see them next week in NYC and I'm really excited. I've been a fan for a quite a few years now and this is the first time I've even heard about a show anywhere in my area. Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Isn't Crank jhust supposed to be another Transporter-ish movie? Graham's cousin brought over the Transporter 2 a few months back and it was so so so so bad. But, watching it with two quick witted, cynical guys made it enjoyable. Those are definitely movies that need an MST3K type running commentary.

We thoroughly enjoyed the first Transporter, but when we rented Transporter 2 we got about 20 minutes in and shut it off because it was so utterly ridiculous. I know, I know, it's not reality, but for god's sake, a car jumping off a ramp, turning in midair to exactly the right angle so he can use a hook suspended from a crane to knock a bomb off the undercarriage of his car, then rotate the car back to wheels down, land, and drive away? Yeah, a bit too much for me.

I read something interesting about Crank yesterday that made me understand why it was so ridiculous....it was written to mimic a video game: no down time, strange camera angles, weird maps and charts popping up now and then... Somehow that makes me somewhat more forgiving. But not enough to see it ever again.

Yep. My bad.

Incredible.
