Damned 20th Century Fox doesn’t want me to sleep. Well I show them. I’ll show them all!!!!

But I’m setting my alarm. I need to fit in nine more episodes tomorrow. That requires careful planning and time management.

I am up to the task.

I think I finally understand the meaning of ‘addictive personality’. Henceforth, this shall be known as ‘The Lost Weekend’.

It is 11:00. I can’t believe I have another 13 hours to go. How many more people can they kill?

Confirming something Garry mentioned a little while ago, Longwave are coming back to town on the 10th of February, opening for OK-GO at Lee’s Palace. Love Longwave, don’t care for what I’ve heard from OKGO, but for just $10, I have no problem going to see only the opener. Maybe this time they’ll bring some merch!

It’s 10:15. Is that too early to plant my ass in front of the TV for more 24?

Happy birthday to my mom!

It’s late. I’m tired. I’ve been watching all night. I should go to sleep. I can watch tomorrow. Or the day after. It’s not going anywhere.

But on the other hand, there’s only 18 hours to go. That’s not really that much. I can put on some coffee, rest my eyes during the breaks where commercials should be. I’d be fine. Yeah.

Damn you, 24. Damn you.

With word that Beachwood Sparks are on permenant hiatus, I am looking into their offshoot project, The Tyde. Anyone know anything about em? I haven’t had time to read through their website yet.

Elliott Smith is apparently releasing a double album this summer, perhaps to make up for the dog’s age we’ve been waiting for From A Basement On The Hill. Of course, by that reasoning, Liz Phair owes us a 10-disc box set. Either way, I’m glad to see Elliott is back being productive, I’d heard some of the rumours about the various reasons he’d become derailed (drugs, drink) and was pretty concerned.

Supergrass is coming to the Guvernment on March 9. I don’t know if this is of interest to me – I’m not sure where I stand on the whole Britpop thing anymore. I haven’t felt compelled to get their latest album, at any rate.

I am very excited that the reissue of Uncle Tupelo’s Still Feel Gone will feature the cover of The Soft Boys’ “I Wanna Destroy You”, which I had been looking for for ages to no avail. It was a b-side on the “Gun” 7″, I think.
