I Need Medication For My Sleep Deprivation
My bedroom is SOOOO bright in the AM. I've been waking up around 7 or 7:30 AM every day since I moved into my new place. More than one person has assured me that this will be a good thing when I finally get a gig, but right now it blows. My sleep patterns are all off.
Well, I am happy to report that I had a pretty tiggs weekend. On Friday night I had the pleasure of meeting fellow DC transplant Matt Blueroom and together we had the pleasure of seeing The Delays and in my humble opinion, they were shit hot. The lead singer has an absolutely incredible voice and he was hitting all the notes. They opened with Wanderlust and just kept right on rolling from there. They played all the hits too, Long Time Coming, Hey Girl and Nearer Than Heaven. Although there weren't many people at the club, they still rocked out and a good time was had by all. My only complaint was the keyboardist. He apparently felt like he didn't have enough to do onstage and kept wandering around with no rhyme or reason. Displays like this make me appreciate Liam all the more. Otherwise, they were incredibly satisfying. Highly recommended if they come to your neck of the woods.
You all know what happened on Saturday. Saturday night I went over to Lorin and Steve's place to watch a little Copa America and drank some wine. Very chill and relaxing. Just what I needed.
Sunday morning (after getting up with the sun) I ran all my errands early in the day and then Matt and I caught Fahrenheit 9/11 and it was everything I hoped for. The footage of the Iraqi people dragging burnt American corpses through town behind their cars was extremely powerful. I'm not sure what I can say about this film that hasn't already been said but I urge you to go see it. Republican, Democrat, Naderlover, whatever. Pay your money and watch it. BTW, they have matinee prices in DC! How hott is that? We went to the 5 PM show (on Sunday) and it was only $6. I can't remember the last time I went to the movies and didn't spend $10 on a ticket. So best.
Also I would like to mention how much of the info in F 9/11 I already knew because it was old hat over at 1115.org. Cheers to you guys and keep up the good work.
FOW Nummer has a particularly tiggs review of the mighty Mozzer in Chitown. Cheers.
Chromewaves provides linkage about REM's new drummer.
Will they be showing this in the US too?
Be sure to check out Last Tourist (aka Peabs and Kegzies) in action! For the record, Kegzies turned me onto The Delays.
Not much buzz from Siren this year, but this is so best.
The point is, no one, no matter how wealthy he may be, simply forfeits $30 million.
DaMarcus Beasely will soon be a member of the Dutch club PSV Eindhoven as soon as the pony up the $2.5 million transfer fee.
The new iPod makes the cover of Newsweek. Me + employment when the new version is released = new iPod for me. Anyone want an old, but fully functional 20 gig iPod when that time comes?
Raise your hand if you knew Lars Ulrich was dating Skylaaah of Matt Damon / Good Will Hunting fame. Eeeewwwwww.
I am totally addicted to Travis right now.
Feels like I'm always losing
But when it does, I'll be somewhere else, somewhere else
Ooh! Ooh! How much for that Ipod? I've been acquire one for ages, but slinging pizza is not the best way around to buy musical gadgets.
so best, indeed!
Don't ever write comments when someone is standing behind you, talking about Anchorman and how funny Will Ferrell is. Otherwise you too will make idiotic typo mistakes like leaving out important words.
"I've been trying to acquire".
Don't forget the gorilla. band too!
SHMEARS!
I really like the Delay's keyboardist. He's like Bez with a job. Best sideman since Pavement's Bob Nastonovich, I say.
Yeah Paul's in the band too. In fact, I would venture to say it's really HIS band. He's the whitest dude to play bass like a black dude ever.
It's funny, now that everybody has caught up with Delays, I'm not even listening to them. Maybe 'cause I'm a FICKLE BASTARD!
