(no subject)
When I was home this past weekend, everything was so beautiful. Lush, green, shiny. Driving around felt so wonderful. As usual, I didn't get to see enough of anyone, namely my sister and my dogs. Right now, I really miss Grand Rapids.
I ran into some guy at a bar last week who was wearing a Mulligan's t-shirt. I was like, "Hey, I'm from there!", and was all excited to trade stories about Suzanne Geha or El Arriero. Sadly, he drunkenly slurred, "I've never been there. I borrowedthisshirtfromafriend." My little bubble was burst. Then he threw a beer bottle on the floor and it spilled on my shoes.
Um, I'm in desperate need of new, wonderful music. Something powerful and fun. Please give me suggestions. I'm thinking about getting some ELO, but I wouldn't know where to start. I still have my cd's packed up from the move, and don't know where anything is, which is making me crazy. But I did just dig through a box and found these gems to put on my Ipod: Vitalogy (so.fucking.good), Lionel Richie - Can't Slow Down (Hello? Is it me your looking for?), Hole - Live Through This, Joe Jackson - I'm The Man, Rick Springfield - Working Class Dog (Love is All Right Tonight is one of the best cheesy rock songs EVER), Roxy Music - Siren, Incubus - Morning View (I wonder how I will like it four years after my Brandon Boyd infatuation), World Party - Bang!, Bob Geldof - Happy Club, and finally, the cd which gave me the greatest pleasure to unearth, Supertramp - Breakfast in America. Okay, so maybe I'm good for a few days with music, but I'd still like suggestions. What's an album that almost makes you pee your pants with joy?
The Intonation festival is coming up but I don't know whether to be excited for it or to dread it. I've been to too many shows now, I can't handle the Pitchfork crowds anymore. And hundreds of them, milling around, sweating? Will it be worth it? Well I guess I'm going to give it a try.
I didn't see a damn bit of the Live 8 concerts. I wanted to see Duran Duran and Pink Floyd. Oh well. I read that Greenday did We Are The Champions. That's sweet, but I don't think that song is made for anyone else's voice but you-know-who's.
What else do I have to say? I guess nothing. I went to this website today for the Chicago Museum of Holography, thinking that maybe "Holography" was the term given to the study of the Holocaust, but alas, it's a museum devoted to what I can only understand to be the "laser light show". That was a disappointment (or incredibly awesome?), but then again I am an idiot.
