HOOOOOLY MAN! Big weekend coming up. After work Friday booking it to Sars Cottage for a weekend of booze and tunes and good times. Oh yea, its Karls birthday too. Gonna be good times. That is all.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day!! BBQ, Chunes, and Cardill Cocktails. The sister event of Farquhar Fridays. Going to party it up after work at Ashs place. Get fired up, and head downtown to party with Jimbo Slice for his big birthday!! Come one come all!! Hilarity will ensue.
Went out last night with Ash Bash and Motel for dinner, then went to see 500 Days of Summer with Ash, while Motes went on his big date. In a moment of weakness I had a beer.....I have no excuse for the second pint tho.
As for 500 Days of Summer. Go see it. Its awesome.
I hope I get a sweet sweet package in the mail today with a Matador stamp on it. Got the vinyl of the new TNV album, which comes with a poster, and two 7"s. Way too jackt.
So it would seem they are now playing 4 shows in New York!! We already have tickets for three of the 4, and will be getting the last set this friday. So fuckin fired up!! Pavement!!! Central Park!! New York Fuckin City!.......one year away.....fuck.
First Jesus Lizard....then Faith No More....NOW PAVEMENT!!!! Pavement are set to reform for gigs in New York in 2010, according to reports.
According to the Brooklyn Vegan the Stephen Malkmus-led band, who split in 1999, will play multiple shows on the US city's Central Park SummerStage next September.
The former members of the revered California band have hinted that they may reform for live shows at various times.
Fuckin love my Valient Thorr. This video gets me slightly too jackt. Best parts are when the guitarist, bassest and singer take turns doing cymbol grabs. Too wicked.
So I decided as a cool project to take head shots of my fave singers or rockers in general, and do my own thing with each of them. I will eventually frame them and cover my one wall in my apartment. Off the top of my head I plan on doing Mike Patton, Phil Lynott, Kurt Cobain, D.C. Berman, Freddy Murcury, Hugh Dillion, among many others. I already started to fuck around with Steve Malkmus. The original one looked way too close to the Death From Above album cover so I quickly gave up on it. Only to come back the next day and swap some colours. It will hopefully look really cool once i have like 20 of them framed. We will see.
I think I might have to set up my VCR tonight and watch my most prized VHS tape. HARD. ROCK. ZOMBIES. This movie is beyond a classic. You got hard rock, horrible acting, zombies, and Hitler. Yes. Hitler.
I am making my first appearance at Nicks cottage this weekend, and I promised to do some homework. Homework consisting of learning Black Sabbath's Volume 4 start to finish. Gotta say this album is really pumping me up a lot. This may be the album that actually breaks the seal and gets me into Sabbath. The debate is who do I like more, Iron Maiden or Black Sabbath. I always said Maiden, but to quote track 3 of this record...."I'm going through changes."
Check you the first song, especially during and after the solo. Holy fuck! Make sure not to miss St. Vitus' Dance. Killer fucking tune.
