"Scared by fireworks."

Yeah. Right.

Hmm?

Is it just me, or is the gas station in 'Raising Arizona' the same as the one in 'No Country For Old Men'?

Dear Jesus,

Please bring me:



because I have not been a naughty boy at all.

This is our sun.

Dear suburban youth of America,

Seriously, what's with all the rap/gangster rap?

Regards,

Radiolab: Cities

This is pretty damn interesting, if you ask me. If you have about an hour or so, and you'd otherwise be wasting your time on the Home Shopping Network--or whatever trash it is that you watch on t.v.-- listen to this.

"In this hour of Radiolab, we take to the street to ask what makes cities tick.

There's no scientific metric for measuring a city's personality. But step out on the sidewalk, and you can see and feel it. Two physicists explain one tidy mathematical formula that they believe holds the key to what drives a city. Yet math can't explain most of the human-scale details that make urban life unique. So we head out in search of what the numbers miss, and meet a reluctant city dweller, a man who's walked 700 feet below Manhattan, and a once-thriving community that's slipping away."

I've never understood rails, and I definitely still don't.

Sometimes I really can't decide where things should go, so... here.

Right Where it Belongs

Music I've Never Heard

I really have to wonder how much good music there is floating around out there that I'll never hear. It seems like it's kind of like one of those things like great books that will never be read because of so many overly cautious zealots that have had mass book burnings.

These two bands are from New Zealand (like the Skeptics), and I really hope that I can continue on with this trend of finding music that's really good and gives me that warm, happy I-no-longer-give-a-shit-because-the-present-and-future-are-full-of-fucking-idiots feeling. If you know of any goodies, let me know.




If anyone ever can find copies of any of these albums, feel free to buy them for me as a belated birthday gift. Especially whatever albums Pull Down the Shades and Affco. are on.

Homie Vids

A couple of edits from some friends of mine that ride out of Holland, MI. Pat & Zach both ride for Lakeshore Cycle and Fitness, a bike shop I used to work at before I moved out to Mass.

Something I Did Not Know (Until Recently)

Zach Hill also is the drummer for this fine musical establishment. And really, that makes complete sense, as the drumming is so solid throughout.



Bonus.

BALADA TRISTE DE TROMPETA

I have every intention of watching this.

Zach Hill (Drummer of Hella) & Some Hippie on a Guitar

I love the first 50, or so, seconds of this. I could probably listen to it on a loop for a couple of hours, given the right task with which to occupy my mind.

Hella

I liked this duo way before I hated the word, before I knew California firsthand, and before I realized how correct all of my preconceived notions about the weak-minded morons that flock to that god-awful state are.

On the Other Hand, Not Everything is Bad

While there some days that I really feel like there isn't much else that's pretty aside from riding bikes and listening to music, there is one thing I know for certain--I'm living in the wrong country.

I may like the outtakes cut better. Not really sure.
