i now remember why i stopped watching basketball. i cant handle the massive double dick sucking by the commentators. case in point, i am currently watching my bull vs the heat and the heat are on a bit of a run. nothing too serious but the bull has definitely looked better during this series. anyway, the two cock suckers are currently handing over the series to the heat cause they have played 5 good minutes, but they are only up by 3. you really have to be listening or i guess watching to understand my frustration. it all comes down to the fact that i fucking hate bill walton even though he has nothing to do with any of this. i just clump all basketball commentators into the walton shit dump. go bull!
any who, the polyphonic spree has got a new record, the fragile army, coming out on june 19. they have an e-card and 8 minute mashup of the record available for download by clicking right here.
so i have this hold steady performance but i have no idea where or when it was recorded. the only thing my folder says is “fingerprints” and craig thanks “fingerprints” during the opener. it sounds like and in store or radio recording.
as it turns out that that the hold steady “fingerprints” mystery has been solved. it was recorded and is being sold exclusively at fingerprint music in the lovely city of long beach, ca. you can purchase it for a measly 4.98 by clicking here. my sincerest apologies to rand, the owner of fingerprints.
i never get to catch conan, sadly. either i am watching a cops marathon or i am working but either way i never watch conan or really any other late night gab fest. the other night sure would have been cool to watch cause conan had of montreal as the featured musical guest and youaintnopicasso has their tripped out performance up for your viewing pleasure. i have never seen an of montreal show, although i have a bunch of recorded stuff. for those that have seen them, are they pretty good? are they worth checking out?
so i am on another huge hold steady/lftr pllr kick the past few days - it happens every month or so. i know its that i try to live my life vicariously through mr finn’s tales of self destruction and my longing to relive those days that i find some kind of kinship with. unfortunately, my days of recklessness now involves a few beers on the back porch and an overdose of toy story 2 and/or diego and dora the explorer.
anyway, here is everyone’s favorite brooklynites by way of the fabulous city of minneapolis, the hold steady performing at last years lollapalooza. its a great recording, btw.
