I bought my first vinyl today!  There's a music store about four blocks away with all kinds of fun used vinyl.  I had already been there half an hour when the guy behind the desk put on Tom Waits' Raindogs.  It was nearly through the LP when I finally worked up the courage to ask him if I could buy it.  I also found a copy of David Bowie's Heroes!  ( Read more... )

I missed the free Gnarls Barkley show last night, but fate tried to make up for it by giving me a free ticket to the Warped Tour.  Sadly, a free show paid for by Southern Comfort just isn't the same as a bunch of free shows by shitty emo bands.  There were bright spots such as the Horrorpops and ORESKABAND.  The later were easily the cutest thing I ( Read more... )

Thanks to Amanda for letting me know on Facebook, today (June 2nd, for another hour here in CO) is the anniversary of the Smashing Pumpkins album Adore.  This is my favorite album from my favorite band (old Pumpkins, not new Pumpkins).  This, for me, was their last really great album  It's not their most cohesive album, nor is it their most ( Read more... )

I am not a vegetarian so you can tell me how much you love meat, and that you could never stop eating it.  I don't advertise that I don't consume dead animal flesh, but I can't help that it comes up in conversation on occasion.  When it does, don't talk about eating the muscles of some dead cow.  Don't talk about how delicious it is.  I don't want ( Read more... )

While I miss everybody in Boone (rather terribly at times), life is pretty awesome.  I hope you're all fantastic! 

...cause these are good for when you are bored, and Texas is boring.  But I should be home tomorrow night! yay!

In happy news, I got the Of Montreal album Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer? and its pretty damn good.  My photoshop teacher played it a few times in class last semester, but I never got a chance to pay attention to it all the way through until tonight.  It just kinda bouncy and weird and kinda of happy in that way, yet its a total break-up ( Read more... )

 In case none of you were aware, I am in love with Carie Brownstien.  One day Sleater-Kinney will get back together and I'll have a chance to see her high kicks while she rocks out to "I Wanna Be Yr Joey Ramone".  Until that day, I'll have to make do with blog entries and these random Thunderant videos (don't know how I feel about them, Fred ( Read more... )

So, I have a month and five days before I leave NC for good (insert joke about having heard that before). In that time, I'm gonna try to make what money I can. Currently I am in Kentucky, and tomorrow my parents and I begin a trek that will take us to MS on Friday. Hopefully I'll get to see my new cousin Benjamin! He's... a year old? Less than a ( Read more... )
