Let's Talk Music

So I decided that since I started this thing intending for it to be a blog mainly about music and I never really blog about music that today I will blog about music(Yay!). So in recent news Brenden leaked the title to the new Lawrence Arms 7" out sometime in the near future on his blog(if you don't read it GO CHECK IT OUT!!!!!! badsandwichchronicles.blogspot.com) The title is "Buttsweat and Tears". Brilliant right? Well I will be awaiting the release of that record. They are also coming out to Hollywood to play the Troubadour(our fav place to see 'em) in Nov. That should be fun. I'm gonna try to get tix soon before they run out. What else???............Oh yeah, I went into Amoeba Music today for the first time in a few months and they rearranged the set up. It's cool though now the Cd's and Lp's aren't mashed together. I seen a couple things I need to pick up but could wait cause they'll be there next time I go or are readily available online. But there was one golden nugget I found today-a Tiger Army record. The second album limited to only 1300 copies on Moon-Yellow Vinyl. Tiger Army II: Power Of Moonlite- a good album in great condition(sealed[that's right never been opened!!!]). Now here is the tricky part it was the most expensive record I have ever bought to date. But I couldn't let it slip away! I have too many times not picked up a record cause I thought it was too expensive or that it might be there next time when I have more $$ but it never is. And most times I never see it again or it is at some outrageous price on ebay that is only gonna get higher if anybody else sees it(which they will). So I picked it up this time. $50-fifty bones-that's what I spent on one record. Now there are a lot or record collectors that might think "Oh dude that's nothing!" But that's a lot of cheese for me my friends. But it was worth every hard earned penny let me tell you. There is nothing like the smell of opening a new sealed vinyl. And this record is from 2001 so it's been ageing for eight years. Getting ripe for me to pick. It's nice to be the first person to put a needle to this record eight years later! So the other records will have to wait until next time I make it to Amoeba(oh well). How was that? Was that cool? I did it a blog about music! Ya!

Just A Gripe!!!

O.K. So this is just going to be a HUGE bitchfest so if you don't wanna hear my rant about how uncontent I am with the parking situation in L.A. STOP READING NOW! O.K. Nuff said-you still here then listen up cause this is gonna be good. So I am a regular victem of the unjust institution known as the Municipal system. They're the fuckers that run parking patrol and courts right? I belive so if not correct me in the comments area. Teach a dumb ol' fool. Back to the point-what was it-OH YEAH! Those fuckers are always giving me tickets. For years I've dealt with this Bullshit in L.A. And except for one vehicle(out of 6 or 7 cars all of which had their fare share of parking tickets) I paid ALL my parking tickets. So I've been reemed by the "Parking Enforcement Agency" often. But this morning I'm just pissed! Yeah I was parked in a spot where you need to move by 7:00am and I would happily pay the ticket cause I over slept but those Fuckers towed my car. That's right they fucking hauled off my shit cause it was in their way. Not just a ticket but a $250.00 impound fee. YEAH!!!!!! Great way to wake up in the morning. The city is fucked. They don't realize that in my neighborhood there are a lot of apartments with a lot of people which means...............you've guessed it A LOT OF FUCKING CARS ASSHOLES!!!!! Also there are lots of spots painted red that aren't by fire hydrants and really should be spots. Not only all that B.S. but this is L.A. home of the most full of themselves jerkoffs that are complete idiots and don't know how to park and make two spots into one by parking like a mindless, thoughtless, inconsiderate, waste of space, sorry excuse for a human being!!! Fuck Em All right?-Pay the shit and move on right?-I could bitch until I grow a vagina but that's not gonna help anybody now is it. So then what was the point of this whole bitchfest??? I dunno-But I sure do feel better now :)

Great Night For Late Night!

Last night I stayed up and had a couple beers so I could watch Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Fallon. Both hosts had great guests. Coco had the all mighty Hank Azaria(of Simpsons fame) and Jimmy had on Adam Sandler. What a good night for late night. I usually fall asleep around ten pm because I work Sat. morning. But I knew I had to stay up for this one. Soooooooo.......I grabbed a couple beers and made sure I was awake for the shows. Conan was hilarious, and Hank Azaria added a lot to the show. What a great guest. He even did numerous Simpsons voices which was fun to see. Jimmy Fallon was good as usual. Backed by the greatest band in late night THE ROOTS(sorry Max). And Jimmy and Adam were sooooooooooooooo funny together I couldn't stop laughing my ass off.(the beer may have helped) Adam had on a cool Zoo York T-shirt. I can't wait to see Funny People that shit looks hilarious. Oh yeah and the singer of drunk Jimmy Buffet was a guest and performed "Margaritaville" with The Roots. Glad I stayed awake!
