"Automatic Stop" by The Strokes is the BEST SONG ever written!
Don't argue with me.
Don't argue with me.
"So Do 'Yer Wanna Be Le HIPSTER?"
Q Magazine ran this bitty a couple of years ago. Some of it rings true while the others are way off. The Ramones bit is pretty much on point.
Though I'm noticing that their fashion sense have evolved in the past couple of years. I have to admit The Strokes did save America's music scene with the release of Is This It?.
I do think that The Walkmen were overlooked when NYC crowned the boys as the Kings of New York.
Please NOTE: Remember, I always JUDGE people by the music they listen to. They could be the coolest people but if they have shite playlists or a a crap cd collection....I've pretty much written them off as DUMB and USELESS for listening to the kind of cds, records, tapes, they have on their coffee tables or cd changers! It's over. If your musical tastes differ than mine then it's not worth being a friend with someone.
"We Will Become Silhouettes"
I took Erica to see The Strokes last Friday and she's still in awe about that gig to this day in the same vain that I am to be honest. I wasn't expecting much but the band proved me wrong. It was just a brilliant rock n' roll show. Though I've never seen so many Chuck Taylor Canvas Allstars worn in tremendous volume! The hipsters were out in full footwear gear but there's something very eyecatching about these shoes for some reason. Also, not to sound so melodramatic but I didn't hesitate to mention to her how Room on Fire saved my life literally in the same way that Interpol's Turn On The Bright Lights and U2's Achtung Baby have done. Oh phooooey!:)
I'm off to California on Thurs. evening for Coachella all this weekend. See some of you there, hopefully! 1st time in Cali in nearly 6 years too.:P Before I head off to the governator's state...Here's some albums for ya to check out!
1. Mono(from Japan) ***One Step More And You Die***--This is still the best hidden underground secret of the past few years. If Ian Curtis were still alive he would've already contributed vocals to a few of the tracks on this album or any of their previous EPs. They currently have a Japanese-only release that was recorded here in Chicago with producer Steve Albini. Unfortunately, the U.S. version won't be released here until September 2004. Click on 'My Website' above for band info.
2. Modest Mouse ***Good News for People Who Love Bad News***--There's something very soulful about this album. They remind me of this band that once existed called !!!(in indie-speak pronounced "chuh, chuh, chuh!"). Lots of brass and funky looping going on.
3.Blonde Redhead ***Misery is a Butterfly***--Japanese meddles with Italian soundscape. I don't know how to describe the sound of this album without publicly condemning it as another Sonic Youth knock-off. The band have been making music for years so there's much credit and praise to be said about this lady + 2 blokes trio.
4.the Beta Band ***Heroes to Zeroes***--not to be thoroughly confused with another band called, VHS or BETA, this quartet have created a gem with this release. It has that Interpol edge to it.
5, Interpol ***Love Will Get You Down***--This isn't an official release but a live bootleg of various songs and outtakes. This is a cd-r copy too that originally appeared online from an Mp3 source. Sound quality varies throughout the compilation. A great disc to have if you can actually find it out there.
Right on....Don't be a hipster!
"All That You Can't Leave Behind"
I'm on a roll mang! This is the most fun I've had in 4 years. Last night, she said.....I decided to throw a partayyyy!!! In this party we laughed and shouted and danced like people were lookin'. We kept the night HOT & SEXY!!! We had the ice chillin', the Cristal poppin', the rims blingin' and the playas hatin'. That's right! I'm finally graduating so y'know....gots to celebrate in style ya heard?

"She Says I'm a Slave to the Details"
Playing with Crayons and doodling our lives away. On the way back we spot an extremely rare "Italian Redhead"(or as the italians in Maranello say, "Testa Rosa Cavillino!") at her parents neck of the woods and took a snapshot inside our state of the art "Riceburner" of an automobil. Stayed a while with her parental units and watched a great '80s classic, Gremlins on bootleg DVD. The original is still nowhere to be found. The Betamax version is still tops though.
Our love's subliminal.
"Bomb. Japan. Now"
"....You See Your Love Made Complete....."
I took so long to figure out what this book was about. Now I write, when I'm on here, entries that you'll never get to look at and read. And everybody just lies in bed thinking about all the things they should have said. Does anybody care about us anywhere or here? No looking back cos you know the past will stay. I was pretty wasted last night. But here we are nothing but our beating hearts going far. Drowned in alcohol and migraines on what was a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Achtung Baby on repeat last night and you finally listened to it in it's complete form track by track. You don't believe in anything you hear unless you can feel it too, right? Oh baby!:)
Take the map and point to anywhere. Everything is simply delicate. You are sooo loved and my weekend was great......Thanks for the Alien guitar player figurine!! Now, time to line up for your tickets next week..........:P
