Something 4 The Weekend
No fewer than 5 people have emailed me the El Wapo article on iPod night at Saint Ex. Both Natalya and Melissa (two of my cohorts in bluestate) were interviewed for it, so good for them (and us). However, everyone keeps asking me "Why aren't there any quotes from DJ Leafblower?" That's easy. I was at home watching Duke kick the crap out of UNC that night. Bovs. Priorities kids, priorities.
In other exciting iPod news. Mine is out for deliver today. Woot!
That means I can take it with me this weekend to NYC! Yup, I'm traveling back to the hood this weekend for a super secret mission - to grab some grub at Bonnie's and drink as much as possible. Shhh! Don't tell anyone. Now I'll be able to bring all my pics of Mr. Pink with me. If any of my NYC peeps are in town tomorrow, drop me a line and let's get up. I will go ahead and warn you that there probably will be a picture of The Gates here next week.
Bob Ryan does not heart Antoine Walker. But this we already knew. Danny still won't comment on Gary coming back but a few other new outlets have picked up on it. Ainge said today on a conference call with season ticket holders that most likely Blount will be moved to the bench, Raef will move to C and Toine will be the PF.
Lawyer tries to rename Fleet Center as "the Derek Jeter Center".
Twisted. Hunter S. Tommy Boy was talking to his wife on the phone when he blew his brains out.
Lots of new music for you today.
Stream the Futureheads track Decent Days and Nights. I loved these guys when I saw them on Monday. Also check out the video. This will be featured on the new OC mix (Jeezy Creezy, did I just plug that?) which features, among others; Sufjan Stevens, Beck, Modest Mouse and Matt Pond PA. It's out on April 5th.
Justina pointed me out to some stuff by Aqualung, another in a long line of Coldplay-ish UK bands. Check out a stream of their track Brighter Than Sunshine (in Windoze Media). If you're going to SXSW, you can peep them there.
Calvin sent along this LouisXIV mp3. They are getting some crazy press of late and I think were one of the first signings to Ultragrrl's record label. You can see them on Hot Hot Heat's upcoming tour or come hear them at bluestate.
Have a great weekend everyone.
those o.c. mix tapes are great! as is the o.c. in general. and speaking of the o.c. and louis xiv, a louis xiv song was featured on the o.c. last night.
Ah, synergy.
Actually, someone was esposing the virtues of OC Mix #3 to me earlier today, completely out of the blue.
I know they put the Super Furries on one of the mixes, so they can't be that bad. :)
Duke sucks and always will.
It's cool to see Louis XIV get some national play.
Crazy... I just got a 40GB iPod Photo delivered today too. That's fast shipping considering I bought it on Wed night and paid ground. No complaints.
great to see you last night me brutha
new ipod? whatttthuhwhat? whatcha get? the color? Ooo!
how do you put a picture of JJ on your blog and I not see it? and if you're around next Sunday, feel free to come to Greevey's in NoVA to watch the rematch with me and a bunch of other alcoholics. I'm not expecting Duke to win this one (I know....blasphemy) but I'm planning on getting very drunk and insulting McCants the whole game (which could be fun to watch) and wondering why JJ had to go with the buzz cut. we saw him play this weekend up at the Garden and I'm convinced that the lack of hair is the reason he only made 1 3-pointer.
what? me, superstitious?
