i never thought this day would come.

I have just handed in my grad paper... I feel like a Jonestown massacre victim post kool aid .... "so what happens now?"


My current favorite song. One day I will be a playboy.

thousands of skins

Kurt Cobain could stop the war in Afghanistan.


if james joyce were alive today

This my current rap song of the moment. Been awhile since I dug some modern day rap. I find it really sucks that BET has no more rapcity. 106 and Park has never recovered from the loss of Free... Anyways YUNG JOC, GUCCI MANE, YUNG RALPH - POSTED AT THE STORE. Everything about this video is perfect.

old trails and new directions

Music from 1969. Elvis at his prime level of elvisitude. Obligatory Gimme Shelter. The Hollies aka the song from that sweet anti-drug p.s.a from my youth.

peace river jimmy

Me not wanting to go over hundreds of footnotes is making me do this. I can't get enough of this country western music.






attempts to revitalize have been met with apathy

Imagine how awesome life was before AIDS was invented? Managing these bands must of ruled.

YOUTH ANTHEMS SPORTS DESK VOL 2.

THE BEST THERE WAS, THE BEST THERE IS AND THE BEST THERE EVER WILL BE.

It was all about doing the sharpshooter at recess.

endless days of marching through hellish boglands

This guy (author Joseph Conrad) truly expresses the hell of writing shit you have to write but don't really want to. If you've been to gradschool and aren't some nerd who ends up being a prof you can relate to this. F. M. L.

MY DEAR GARNETT
I am not dead tho' only half alive. Very soon I shall send
you some Ms. I am writing hopelessly but still I am writ-
ing. How I feel I cannot express. Pages accumulate and
the story stands still.

I feel suicidal.

Drop me a line and tell me where and how you are. If
you could come down it would be an act of real friendship
and also of charity.

(...)

I am afraid there's something wrong with my thinking
apparatus. I am utterly out of touch with my work and
I can't get in touch. All is darkness.

Ever yours

JOSEPH CONRAD

progression and betrayal

Am I just uncool or has there not been one outright awesome hip-hop/RnB song this summer? The type of song that makes being in a shitty club actually fun for a few minutes? A song of the summer if you will. If I simply missed it please inform me.

hotness alert

TTC fam rapper JOKE has come out with a song called BANG BROS. Early 2000s reality porn was a kinder gentler time. I really like the beat. Check out the STUNTS blog for more from probably the highest quality francophone hip-hop collective.

servants of the dishonourable company

Sup, I have been neglecting this blog like a poor obese dyslexic kid suffocating to death in a Dodge Shadow in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in rural Kentucky. I've been trying to finish gradschool and what have you, FML. Bah. Anyways I give you a newish video that has made the rounds of all the cool blogs already. Victor Hugo-ian wedding of the sublime and the grotesque PON DE FLOOR by MAJOR LAZER. The video is all about dry humping on dancefloors. I know you want to click it.

the black man in the industrial age.

I love the beat on this song. The snare is like the best sound in history. Shouts to Omeasoo.

freebird!!! earth crisis!!!!!!

I think I am becoming more white as I grow older. I'm listening to earthy stuff.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, I find is whiter than Neil Young solo... This is featuring Joni Mitchell (who is whiter than the purest of columbian gold). HELPLESS is the track and it's pretty damn good.



DIRTY OLD TOWN by The Pogues. Rum, Sodomy & the Lash = a great fucking album. This is a great ultra classic song from the Celtic fringe.



Finally I have been getting into a bit of Willie Nelson. Mmmmmmmmm.



BIG BABY CAMPBELL IS STILL ALIVE.
