Good weekend, everyone? The rapture didn't occur. Or did it. Maybe for us hell is just more of the same, you know? Although if this is hell I have to admit I love it. Friday night my friends and I hit up some area bars and got joyously intoxicated like a beautiful perfect little family [...]
Hey man, it's officially summer! I mean I think it was "official" a few weeks ago, but once you get to free Slurpee day at participating 7-11s you pretty much know it's summer for real. I didn't get a free Slurpee today because the only flavor I ever enjoyed was Coca Cola, and after two full weeks of not drinking soda I didn't want to tempt myself and fall off the wagon. So...no free Slurpee for me this year. Still, it's fucking summer now! Let's have a party! Okay, enough exclamation points. Instead of speed-writing excitedly [...]
A good road trip can cure a stale record collection. Recently, I had the good fortune of spending quality car hours en route to Minneapolis with some friends. The eleven hours of round-trip travel afforded three guys ample time to swap musical knowledge and sharing unknown and overlooked gems. A downloading of each-others musical DNA if you will. One such discovery was Arizona's Friends of Dean Martinez , specifically their 1997 release Retrograde , which features members from Calexico , Giant Sand , and Naked Pray. Seeing those [...]
Is everybody sober yet? Did you enjoy your holiday with family, loved ones and friends? Mine was pretty disappointing, seeing as how for the first time in my life I didn't know what my "plans" were until the middle of the afternoon. I guess as long as there is a barbecue at the destination things can't be too bad, but it certainly felt a lot different from past July 4ths. I think next year maybe we'll have a Swan Fungus party with fine beers and a room filled with despicable elitists. This website should have a massive enough audience by [...]
"Everyone has AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!" Louise had a lovely birthday dinner (she made traditional Danish foods, and also there was a bowl of macaroni and cheese with hot dogs!), we played a rousing game of Apples to Apples, and now Tom, Thesy and I are watching Team America: World Police , which pathetic Thesy has never seen before. The pathetic girl. Hey, here's a mix tape! Please enjoy! RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB [...]

Chris From Australia! Thank you for your donation you wonderful, special person you! Nicci from down the street! Thank you for your surprise donation, it was completely unnecessary you wonderful, special girlfriend you! That makes for six donations in five days. We've almost reach half of my goal with ten days left to go! Please keep donating, friends. In case you have not heard, my roommates are moving out and taking their turntable with them, and I don't have money to buy a new one plus the new phone/contract I have to buy next week. If you love [...]
This post is long, and overdue, but I wanted to be thorough and include all the bands I saw. I missed most of Wednesday due to work, but packed in enough free shows Thurs.-Sun. to more than make up for it, although I am getting kind of old and took it easy in the evenings for the most part. I've finally gone through hundreds of pics (click on pictures below for larger image), and will include mp3s from each band below and hopefully a link to some of their live SXSW sets, since they did almost all give me free [...]
Friends of Dean Martinez - " When You're Gone " from A Place in the Sun (2000) When it rains in the desert, it's a very special time. This composition from Tucson natives FoDM is one of the most gentle and beautiful tunes in my library. Please enjoy it with your eyes closed. Buy the Friends here Posted by Jordy
Last night was so embarrassing I won't even describe how I spent it. Sure, I left the apartment at five in the afternoon and didn't return until after 4am, but the hours in between were so utterly unremarkable I feel it could actually damage my reputation if I recounted the details for you. I awoke to my phone ringing at noon. There were television characters making cameos in my dreams this morning. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or [...]
I have returned to Los Angeles, alive and in one piece. I'll tell you all about my trip tomorrow. For now, enjoy these songs, okay? RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I'll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. Ever had one of those really pedestrian moments when [...]
