BLOG IT

Wow, it's been 10 days since I last blogged. I'd feel bad but Eide hasn't posted a new picture in almost as long.

In other news I've been really busy with it being the Christmas season and all, which we needed!

Goonies 2

This is no joke Richard Donner wants to make
Goonies 2 and Corey Feldman wants to as well. In fact if you go to his website
there is a link to a page were you can sign a petition to help get the movie made.

STREAM OF CONSCIENCE

Despite the absence of Chuck on the bass, the new Mitch Hedberg CD/DVD is still funny.

The song Oh Yoko by John Lennon is a great love song. It's even better if your girlfriend/wife is named Yoko.

Electric Six is the best band to come out of Detroit...EVER!(For those of you who have caught my Electric Six concert like the one I threw at Shippley's after Todd & Nicole's wedding, you know what I'm talkin' about!)

what's up with "Hipster" bands and who honestly likes them? It's just young kids idolizing other bands for example
Rapture=Cure
Stills=Chameleons/Echo & the Bunnymen
Interpol=Joy Division/Cure
Strokes=any half-assed garage band from the 70's

I admit that some songs are catchy, like the first few tracks off the new Strokes album. I do dig the Rapture a bit but most of this stuff was done better the first time around and nobody paid attention then, so what's up?

Are you a hipster? This article should help you become uncool as deemed by the hipster crowd and this one should help you become cool in the eyes of the hipsters, if that's you're thing.

Korn still sucks, Ryan Adams continues to be cool.
I think I just commited a hipsterism on the mainstream level. Anyone, Anyone?

What the Hoobastank? Was there cause for another album? I guess their attempting to become leaders of the new one-hit wonders.

The more I hear about this Thunderbirds live action film the more it screams bad idea.

Christina Aguilera on the cover of Maxim Blender and Justin Timberlake on the cover of Rolling Stone AGAIN! Aren't there other stars for America to be infatuated with? Like Clay Aiken and Rubben Studdard or Cher.

Madonna and a children's book=trouble, hey wannabe J.K. anybody.

These are just observations.

As you probably guessed it's pretty slow so far today. That's why I've been able to ramble off a bunch of crap for you to read through. It's funny I noticed that I sound like a bitter individual but honestly I'm not. It's just tough to try and be a funny nice guy, it never works out.

ARE YOU DOWN WITH THAT MELLOW SOUND

Hey there, sorry I haven't updated this for awhile(not a lot going on). I went to a wedding reception for a classmate of mine with Jake. Saw a lot of people I hadn't seen in quite a while. The rest of the weekend was pretty chill.

Monday night I went to the Dakota Lounge and hung out with Baehm and Rafferty and their respective others. Baehms parents were there also. It was a fun time. I've been sick since with a bad cold. I think I'm falling apart. Today is the first day since that I feel relatively okay.

DINING ROOMS

I've been favoring the downtempo trip-hop jazz sound lately and The Dining Rooms latest album entitled Tre, have satisfied my aural palate. I think the album starts out with a sample from a Charlie Brown song so you know what you're in for. Smooth and mellow with both male and female vocals. They are an Italian two-piece production team and this is their third release(hence Tre as the title)

Another recent favorite is Brookville which is a solo project from Andy Chase of Ivy. Wonderfully Nothing also has a nice jazzy downtempo feel to it. If you like Ivy try this out you won't regret it(if your down with that mellow sound!). They also sample a bass riff from Sergio Mendez Trio on the song titled Sample from heaven and it is!
