Phew! For A Minute There...
How was everyone's weekend? Mine was pretty laid back (as usual). My parents were in town for the day on Saturday, so I got some QT with them. We went and saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith and it honestly wasn't too bad for a big budget, big studio summer movie. Sunday I spent some time working on Podcast #3, hopefully I'll get that up by Friday.
Also, I wanted to clear the record as this post seems to have confused everyone. My birthday is actually a week from today. We're gonna party like it's my birthday the next night at bluestate, hence the cupcake on the flyer. I also spent a sizable chunk of time over the weekend figuring out what my birthday set would be. Gl*mrocker talked me out of doing an all Oasis set, but there will be plenty of music from Manchester that night, don't you worry. If anyone has any suggestions, feel free to leave them below.
My Birthday festivities get started on Thursday at the Bloc Party show before I fly out to Motown on Friday to see Oasis on Saturday at Meadowbrook with the Whatevs-nation. Yes, I'm a name dropper, how the hell else do you think this waste of bandwidth stays in the Creme de la Creme? All that should lead in quite well with next week's activities here in The District.

Hella sweet! Thanks Apple. You should get sued more often.
Memo to Larry Brown and your busted-ass team: If Bruce Bowen is matching the output of your team's leading scorer, you is in deep doo doo.
Random thought: Karma Police came on the iPod today and I went and listened to OK Computer for the first time in eons and it fucking gave me chills. I also broke out Urban Hymns over the weekend for the first time in ages. I still think it's way overproduced, but it hits all the right notes. Weeping Willow...so focused.
a solid, action-packed monday blog. cheers to you!
i seriously still listen to urban hymns once every week or so. it gives me chills.
and you should totally do an all-oasis set. it's your birthday, you can do what you want to. (plus it would be AWESOME.)
you are spending your birthday most properly, i do say so. the posts are going to be great apres b-day.
and, i am a total guinness virgin, so i actually appreciated the "tips" link. we've got a new "irish pub" opening nearby and i'll feel more "at ease" with it being my first time...
hah! i'm the bad one for vetoing 100% oasis. oh well, i stick to it.. all oasis -- though they're good -- would still somewhat suck for a dj set. plus, i really want to hear "sit down" ;)
