Bad Liquor

I had forgotten how exhausting a night out of drinking can be.

Blaaaaah.

Bit of a pub crawl last night, went to Tortilla Flats, Chicagos, Lee’s Palace. Drinks at each. Good to see Kevin, Vic and Bill again, it’d been about a month at least since I’d seen any of them.

Again : Blaaaaah.

You’re So Cute When You’re Frustrated

Interpol hosted the Wedge tonight. There are some good things about staying in on a Friday night! Got to see videos from My Bloody Valentine, Nick Cave, Squarepusher, Mum… good stuff. Also caught the very stylish (of course) vid for Interpol’s PDA.

New issue of Magnet showed up today.

I Won This Dog At The Dirtwood Reunion Carnival

Funny, it seems that the amount of work I have now that I’m a full-timer has increased considerably. This is not a complaint, just an observation.

Soundscapes restocked their Velvet Crush selection. Picked up ‘A Single Odessey’ (sic) last night. I just need to find a copy of ‘Free Expression’ for less than $25 and I’ll be happy.

What was supposed to be a recording session last night turned into just a lot of sitting around shooting shit and listening to the Oval-Teen double disc masters. Must say, it sounds a lot better than the album that Brad gave me when we first met. A lot of it was in the production values, but the songs are better on this one as well. I want to start playing again! The recording is fun, but not when its dragged out so long… I wanna plug in and make some noise. Noise noise noise!

Learned that Soundscapes has Boxing Day sales. This makes me happy.

Redecorate Your House With Beef

Not a word of lie, this was the subject line of a piece of spam in my mailbox today. If more spammers took the time to write interesting subject lines like this one, they’d probably have more success.

I didn’t open it – I doubted the contents could measure up to what I imagined it was about…
