My rents have been in town this weekend, which has been good. It’s also meant a lawt of eatin out at fancy places ah ken only drool about. Hurray fer my genetic contributers!<\/p>\n
Warren Teagarden had a CD release on Friday at tha weirdest club ahve evah played in. Tha upstairs is a swanky lounge w. couches (n some jam band playin when we gawt thar). Tha downstairs is a dingy concrete basement with airplane seats. One of tha walls has actually been made to look like tha windows of an airplane – complete w. a flashing light. Strange. BUT, there was two cases of PBR fer tha bands, n a generous jager shot fer $5. Ah think people had a good time – ah was a bit too intae tha PBR ta really be able ta tell….<\/p>\n
Ahve been skippin yoga a lawt recently – nawt sure exactly why. Ah keep tellin myself ahma gae, n then, ah dont. My apologies fer bein lame – er maybe ahm tryin ta git my waist size back up. Nawt a good idea tho – cuz ah bought 3 pairs of shorts today – fer a total of 12 bux. Hellz yeah good will!<\/p>\n
Ah downloaded tha recent Magnetic Fields album – ahm nawt really a huge fan of them, but ah needed somethang new ta listen to, n figured they might just be able ta win me ovah w. an album called Distortion.<\/i> Ah was wrong – ah think ah dislike them even more then evah. First off, tha lyrics are really clevah – but they are so clevah ah think they don’t pay too much attention to tha songs themselves. Tha production on this album tries way too hard ta be low-fi, n really, thars nawt a single tune thats been stuck in my head. Tha whole thang comes across as feelin very smug, n thas NAWT a vibe ah listen ta musick fer. While tha Mountain Goats are able ta write smart, sad, amazing lyrics, n combine them w. musick that is at tha worst tolerable, n at tha best, toe-tappin, tha Magnetic Fields make me think of a group of really smart science kids who eat lunch togetha n talk about how much money thar gawna make aftah they graduate from MIT. Blech.<\/p>\n
Ah also found Frank Zappa beer today at my local liqour store, which has made me happy. And ah have think13 and Warren Teagarden shirts now – finally. Next Friday ahll play my first outta-tha-area gig in Sacramento w. WT.<\/p>\n
And now – Chocolate!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
