While wasting time in my cube yesterday, I spent a good portion of the day surfing Friendster in search of kids from my home town. There are close to 10 kids from Clearfield Area High School who have signed up, but one in particular struck me as hilarious. One of my better friends from back in the day always had a girlfriend. We often figured it was because the kid was a sex fiend and he was constantly keeping the girls at bay with massive amounts of loving. Yesterday I found his former girlfriend on Friendster. Funny thing is, she went to college and became a lesbian. This peaked my interest because there were always a few people in school whose sexuality could be questioned, but it wasn't because if you were gay or a "fag" as the jocks would put it, you would get your ass kicked. It must have been extremely difficult to have those feelings in rural Pennsylvania, but I'm glad to see they found a community that's accepting of their sexual orientation.
P.S. Slop, if you read this, I'm sorry we haven't talked lately. I've been super busy. Give me a ring tonight is you get the chance.
*** The Stills' show scheduled for October 9, 2004 at Webster Hall has been postponed. Don't fret because the Canadian boys plan to reschedule this in the near future. They suggest that you spend that evening getting wrecked in some bar.
*** Dylan does some promotion for the first volume of his autobiography. Who knew Dylan was a gun toting freak show? Nice ploy to solicit readers Robert. I like your style. I like your moves.
*** If you missed their big shows with Franz Ferdinand, don't get your trousers in a bunch. The Futureheads plan to return in November, and they'll be playing smaller clubs across the country.
*** Speaking of Franz, how did I miss the fact that Dan The Automator is producing their sophomore record? Head Arch Duke, Alex Kapranos, is also contributing to the Handsome Boy Modeling School record. This collaboration is blowing my mind.
*** Things go from bad to worse for Phil Spector. He was indicted on murder charges. It's crazy to think that he met this girl, took her home and then shot her in the face. Oh yeah, he also made some awesome Beatles records.
*** Wild on Paris. You'd think she would learn after the first couple public blow jobs. Now Paris Hilton has more sex on tape. I'm beginning to think she doesn't care, and its just another ploy to ensure that a large percentage of American men have jacked off to her at least once in their lives.
*** In my effort to bring Green Day back to the spotlight in my music catalog, I'm planning on buying tickets for their upcoming tour. A road trip to see Evan might be in order.
*** The Music hit the U.S. shores to promote their new record Welcome To the North that drops October 19th. The only problem is that Hope of States is headlining their scheduled show at Webster Hall.
*** Is U2 paying homage to their favorite directors with their upcoming album? Between the title of the record, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and some of the track titles (Full Metal Jacket and the single Vertigo) it looks like they are offering love to Kubrick and Hitchcock. Have you heard the single yet? I'm digging on it (via Productshop).
*** Code-Heads. That's an interesting moniker. Thanks to a co-worker of mine, I've recently been enraptured by The Da Vinci Code. Finally, I'll be able to understand all the gibberish that's spewed from Hawkins' mouth over the past year. It may be pop-fiction, but dammit, it’s got me by the balls.
*** Now I don't mind Benjamin McKenzie diversifying his portfolio, but this better not take away from his role as Ryan. I can't wait for The O.C. to start!
*** The 46 year old Bud swigging, leg kicking Guided By Voices front man, Robert Pollard, clues us in on his major influences. My only question is Wire's 154 over Pink Flag; are you crazy?
*** It took two baby, but they don't care. The Black Keys discuss their new record with Chartattack. Unfortunately, I've yet to hear the new cuts, but I plan on picking up their cd this weekend.
