Amazing Weekend! We drove to Mt. Shasta, California just for an estate sale! 6 hours there,6 hours back. Left on a Thursday came back on a Friday. It was a 36 hours of no sleep, junk digging and shit talking fest. Scored some good record’s had some good times. Thanks to Aaron(Big money on the roulette wheel) Draplin for being him and driving to Shasta, thanks to Stone Phillips for plenty of Soundtrack section digging. Oh yeah, we went to listen to Obama in Eugene, man of the people. Pics: Private Eyes, They’re Watching You! , These guys helped me out when I tried to rob Rent-A-Center, Convenient! The greatest sign I have ever seen! More Photo’s Tomorrow, I am Beat!
It is getting warmer in these here parts, and only one thing on my mind, fishing. I had some dental work done over the weekend. I had two teeth hacked apart! I talked my dentist into not putting the protective clothing on me, I wore a white t-shirt. when my lovely dentist was done I was covered in watery blood. I walked out into the lobby and for an extra effect, I walked up to the first child I saw and said ” the dentist will see you now” and promptly left. A good time had by all. And I promise to you, more updates on a regular basis!!!!
I love Portland, what I don’t love is all these passive aggressive fucks that live here. Sometimes Portland feels like when I was in school, you went to one of those wine and cheese parties and you get all dressed up with your best thrift store tie because you really want to impress the art student girl(who goes to a big ten school for art, come on!) and you have conversations with couples about hiking and theater and bad jazz and then you take a look around you and breath it all in. Then you realize that really you are just standing in a living room in the student ghetto eating cheese and five dollar wine you got at krogers. Point being that, do your part and leave other people the fuck alone and realize that you are not the only one that thinks that when they take a dump and it can be sold on ebay with a reserve of 9.99. I would not trade this city for anywhere else in the U.S., except maybe Gary, Ind. I guess this happens everywhere but let me bitch, it is what i do well. East Lansing, Mi had another riot, whoop-de-doo! My girlfriend and I went to the farmers market this weekend and kicked around town on Saturday, it was good times, and some amazing cheese! quick childhood memory then I am out. In the third grade I wanted to play soccer even though I had never played the sport before. My mother and I went to go buy me a pair of cleats and somehow between the time I went into the store and getting back into the car I had ended up with a pair of steel toed hiking boots(my mother swears I begged for them). There I was standing in a field playing defense full time ,never seeing the ball because we are 3rd graders and it is organized chaos. So I took it upon myself for the duration of the season to just go around and kick the opposing team in the shins with my steel toed hiking boots. I am really liking XTC these days, more than normal.
My first big arena concert was the show above. It was pretty funny because my mom bought us the tickets and drove us to Battle Creek and waited for the concert to end. Hard to believe that was 19 years ago! Queensryche opened up and the drummer had all those lame ass chains hanging from his kit! Good times. Speaking of old concerts, I found this site that has some history of my hometown (Lansing, Mi) before it turned into the rust belt, non culture havin’, piece of shit, that I still miss from time to time.
I did it! I went and saw the jersey devil himself. Fucking Amazing! Worth every penny!! Here is the setlist from last nights show(his website is awesome!) Aaron talked me into going to the show, I will be forever grateful.

What a great saying “who farted?” I mean seriously, who farted? Classic. The inventor of the egg mcmuffin died today, how does a man that invented something that have killed so many people live to be 90? He doesnt eat that shit! Google maps are great! Yesterday a friend sent me a link to a drug deal that the google van caught, I went to post it and the fine people at google had taken the street view for that area off! Luckily someone out there in this great wild world posted it. Borg is one bad man, I love him.
Great photos of the city of Detroit, makes me miss the dirt a little this night, and the drama of the citys mayor.
So in the last week I have heard at least 5 people tell me how great Reagan was. Alright he didnt tear the wall down, the ruble did. He did back Saddam. Inflation, government cheese, unemployment, yeah he was great. I guess the only thing he should be known for is giving great punk bands something to bitch about in the 80’s. One of the best sites out there is here, tons of folklore films! And this is straight up genius! Shit I am listening to this evening:
- Coachwhips - Get your body nexto mine
- The Country Blues - compilation
- The Critters Younger Girl (holy shit all start with the letter C!!)
- Nudity - Nightfeeders
- Andrew Hill - Judgment!!
I mean seriously! They come dressed like a retarded kid from the 80’s, set up their computer and act like what their doing is rad. Wow, good job downloading some songs and using a dj program on your laptop, I am impressed. Busy weekend, got a hold of a few good records, got kicked in the chest, then got really annoyed. I spent entirely too much moolah and drank way too much, but it was fun. BorgKaraoke told me “that if it wasn’t for Cotton Eyed Joe, I would have been married a long time ago” I believe him. Record peers, a great interview with Samuel Charters.
