Daisy De La Hoya |

i am so very happy to report that bret has found his rock of lust, rock of like and rock of love! let it be known that amber was my pick to click from day one. sure, daisy has a great fake rack but after the honeymoon wears off and bret tries to kick her stripper ass to the curb she definitely seemed like the type to be slitting wrists, od’ing or something over dramatic along those lines. i’m calling a rock of love featuring daisy and/or heather from last season is in the works.

hey, jeff mangum is back, kind of, sort of. he makes an appearance, to what degree is unknown, on former circulatory system and japanacakes member, heather mcintosh’s new project, the instruments’ dark småland which is due on 5.13 on orange twin. she, btw, is also the new touring bassist for gnarls barkley, i wont hold it against her though cause i am sure its a decent paying gig. anyway, the instruments are made up of an array of e6 alum. so, if those crazy current and ex-athenites do it for ya, then the instruments will definitely be up your proverbial alley. i am definitely diggin em.

my love of liz phair has seen the highest of highs an the lowest of lows. it currently is residing somewhere in the middle of my loving place. since the announcement of the exile reissue via dave matthew’s label, ato, i have been trying to reconnect with her first three. i have kind of given hope on everything post whitechocolate.. even though i have tried repeatedly to make sense of em, but i just cant. i have mixed feelings about the reissue to be honest. it being a record i hold dear and in my top 3 records of all time, i just dont know if it needs anything else for it to be a complete experience. i think its perfect just the way it is, and has been all this time, but out the other side of my mouth i am definitely going to get it the day it comes out or maybe someone will be nice enough to send it to me. check the announcement link for everything that is going on with the reissue.

here is my dear liz on 4.15.95 live @ town hall in ny, ny.
