NOW PLAYING:
Hayden - In Field & Town
"How can you have a bad day when this is sitting there on her
stairs waiting for her friend to bring back some ice cream?"
I completely ripped this off from Vice magazine's "Do's
& Don'ts" section, but it makes me so happy I can barely contain
myself from peeing everywhere. Everywhere! The fact
that she looks exactly like my (dearly departed) Gramma Fu-Fu makes it
even better,. A fun fact, I believe, that will most likely make you
want to pee yourselves. And isn't that what it's all about?
Sigh.

NOTE: I'm now linking my music picks directly to iTunes.
If you don't have iTunes, you can't listen. I'm convinced that
almost everyone uses iTunes these days, so the majority will be able to
click through. That's the only reason I wasn't doing this 3 years
ago. It's because I care. I really, really care.

NOW PLAYING:
Scott Lanaway - Juliet Of The Spirits
Yeah, I guess I'm that guy posting
pictures of our widdy bitty puddy tat all over the interweb. Relax.
It's Willis. He's cool. Did you know that Willis prefers "all
natural" toys to those manufactured for his supposed liking? The
little dude lives for rolled up aluminum foil, hair ties/scrunchies,
cardboard boxes, tissues, q-tips, and other crap lying around. Yeah,
our apartment is super clean and awesome.
Been keeping a pretty low profile the past few weeks. Spending a lot
of time close to home, relaxing away from the studio after a pretty
exhausting couple of years. That's right, I said years.
I'm not exactly sure what 2008 holds for me on the music front just yet.
But I'm thinking lots, and connecting the dots. I finished a new
tune last night called "June (Make The Most Of It)". I
recorded it this morning. I like it a lot. Think I'll play it
at my upcoming shows. Yeah. However, the thought of starting
the whole writing, recording, eye-stabbing process all over again makes me
wanna jump off something. Not for awesome reasons like getting sweet
air off a wicked planter box...I mean for the sole purpose to land on my
neck and end it all. Yikes. So yeah, I think I'm doing
the right thing and will stay away for a while yet still. You can
call me a hypocrite in three months when I tell you I've got some insane
new project on the go. In the meantime, I stand firm.
I've also revisited the first couple seasons of
The Sopranos
which, as most of you know, is a brilliant show. You can watch just
for the gangster drama, but for my money, the psychological stuff is where
it's at. When you know the plot inside and out, it's extra cool to
pay attention to all the tiny details and human interaction. We were
visiting the old country (Napoli) with Tony, Syl, Chrisopher, and Paulie
Walnuts last night. It really made me obsess about going back to
Italy. Vivid smells and memories filled my head and dreams last
night. Pasta, provolone, parmigiana, and poo. Two episodes of
the Sopranos is better than 95% of the movies they put out.
Although I did see
Juno, and it was funny and lovely. Kinda like you...and my buddy
Willis up there.
