Got called in on my day off, which was ok in my books cuz it was Halloween here, and I got to triple fist some really good/strong drinks.
Here is a cool photo of everyone dressed up. I didnt come dressed up cuz I didnt think I was coming in today. Chris and Beiber is my personal favorite. Brittany won the best costume competition with her Mad Hatter look. Half day for her! Nice!!!
Work was awesome enough to give me this Friday off after working like crazy all week. My brain was starting to fry so this is pretty fucking awesome. I know its cold, and during the work day, but if anyone wants to have a pop let me know! Lord knows I need to prep my liver for tomorrows GBV show in DETROIT FUCKING ROCK CITY!!!!!Someone help me break in this patio....I don't care if its fall.
Framed some more shit. Chavez, which might be the cheesiest poster ever...in a good way. A Trail of Dead poster Ned got me years ago, and a hand screen Constantines poster from 2001. Room is lookin good.
Another kick ass title from a kick ass band. Album title and track listing. Dude who produced Young Team is back.
‘Hardcore Will Never Die, But You Will’ White Noise Mexican Grand Prix Rano Pano Death Rays San Pedro Letters To The Metro George Square Thatcher Death Party How To Be A Werewolf Too Raging To Cheers You're Lionel Richie
Work is taking us to see Spamalot tonight! A play based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I am pretty damn excited about this. Oh....5 sleeps until GBV in Detroit too. Another kick ass week!
God damn this pumped me up. If I had to make a list of Top 5 Band Names of all time, I think Furnaceface is up there. I do not know why, but I love it.
The DVD is finished! I hope to burn a bunch and hand a couple out at the GBV Detroit show next weekend. Here are some screen shots. This is a perfect companion to the out of print Pollard Pardy.
I am in the middle of making a MONSTER Guided By Voices anthology in the name of this rock n roll GBV weekend. So far I am 3 cd's in. The 3rd one I put all the shortest GBV/Pollard songs fitting in 78 hits in just under 80 minutes. Fired up!!! CHRIIIIIISTIAN AAAAAAAAAAANNIMATION TOOOOOOOOOOOORCH CARRIERS!!!!!!
Kentucky and Columbus next week are going to be fucking INSANE......gonnna lose my mind....I cant even think straight...GBVGBVGBVGVBGVBVGVBGVBVGBGBVGVBVBGBVGBVVBGVBG!!!
My third room this year, and I must say its the best yet. Sweet location. Spacious. Nice colour. Bad fucking ass ceiling fan. Hardwood. Free cable. Pretty damn excited. The shitty part is I am working till 3 am or later every night so I have had zero chance to set it up other than my bed and computer/desk. I managed to get at least that Pavement picture up on the wall but other than that I got fuck all. No time to set it up....no time to even get groceries!!!
Either way....I am in love with our new place. It is so amazing. I been sleeping like a baby.
Been working late into the morning every night pretty much this past week or so. GBV at the end of the rainbow makes it all worth while. That and 1am screenings of The Room to keep spirits high.
Bob Pollard brought high kicks, fantastic pitch, endless slurry salutes and beery banter about Miller Lite satisfying one’s daily H20 requirements, found ways to make talks of tequila segue into his patented commentary-on-other-bands bits. He talked about people not on his label (“People try to give me Cabo Wabo, tell me that’s Sammy Hagar’s shit. Fuck Sammy Hagar. He ruined Van Halen! Not that they needed any help.”),
I find it fitting that for Karl's birthday I post one of the infamous desperado robberies of our time. Since it is your birthday I will no longer hold a grudge against you for taking this song from my grasp. It is yours, officially, on this your birthday. Now clear the Gardner cuz Jaybes is coming!!
