i can almost hear you getting fatter

yeah i might have to break down and get a 360 not only for the new grand theft auto, but i also hear that my favorite gaming franchise, metal gear, is coming to the 360.

in other news, i have been completely addicted to this song for the past couple of weeks. it tis “run, christian, run” by super furry animals off of rings around the world. super furry animals fall into the “bands i love but dont ever listen to” category. while i have been digging into their catalogue the past few weeks, i am sure they will fall back into the deepest depths of my hard drive not to be listened to again for several months.

run! christian, run!

rings around the world


lets welcome our guest healer mr. claude henry smoot

man i really kinda fucked up the inner workings of this joint, but thats really none of your concern. let me say this, it has been a pain in the arse getting all this shit to play nicely with each other. as i have stated before there are other tinkerers out there, like me, and they mess shit up to. luckily for us the smarter people have started forums to help us dumbasses get out of our collective binds.

again, i am running short on time cause i have to make myself look presentable for this evenings working duties. which after about 9 hours of lugging computers, crawling under desks, etc i look like complete shit.

todays offering is a supposedly “free” demo type record that mr black francis let the world have, as i said for free, a few years back. its entitled sunday sunny mill valley groove day and its pretty great, me thinks.

1. constant sorrow man

2. pan american highway

4. humboldt county massacre

5. angst

6. sleep

7. sister isabel

8. le cigar volente

10. his kingly cave

btw, the man himself just announced that he is releasing a new record entitled, bluefinger. in typical fashion it is making is ways around the internets.

oh, the good ol days

i have to admit, i enjoy watching nascar. its a great sunday afternoon, about ready to take a nap tv. one thing i dont understand though is the difference between the busch and the nextel leagues/cups? there were two races this weekend from bristol, tn and was confused on the differences between the two. so, if any of you can explain the difference to me it would be greatly appreciated.

in the face of having to get ready for work in less than 45 minutes tonites offering comes with very little information on my part. thus i look to you fine folks to hopefully hook me up. it is an arcade fire demo record entitled 2001.

1. winter for a year

2. my mind is a freeway

3. accidents

4. goodnight boy

5. asleep at the wheel

6. in the attic

7. cant let go of you

8. you tried to turn away

9. instrumental

10. the great arcade fire

pina-colada butt lotion?

ok, well, we probably wont be going down for a day or so. so, i kind jumped the gun on that one. its an annoying character flaw of yours truly - jumping the gun that is. although, i am sure anyone that knows me can pick out a few more.

i am sure these guys, vietnam, have been all hyped up around the net by now, and if they havent, they should have been. damn dirty hippies they are or is it thrift store chic, i dont know, but do they make a glorious racket. if you took the stones, sonic youth, a more coherent black mountain, took their respective man juices and forced bob dylan to have their child, you may have vietnam. they released their full length self titled debut back in january.
