Hey guess what. No really, guess.

pirate juice
You may be wondering to yourself, "hey, what's that picture all about?  is that some pirate juice?"  And if that's actually what you thought, then yeah, you're absolutely right.  No, actually that was sarcastic.  It's poison.  You want antidote?  I got the poison.  So, gratuitous and unnecessary Hives references aside, I actually had some reason for posting that there.  I can't for the life of me remember it now.

For what it's worth, I got myself a new ipod today.  It's manly as fuck.  And purple.  How is a purple ipod manly?  Well, are you secure enough in your masculinity to have a purple ipod??  No.  I thought not.  That last line is sexist, insensitive, and presumes that you are a male.  In all likelihood, you may not be.  I apologize for that.  Well, if you're a lady you probably think it's cool.  Even if you don't think it's cool, it is.  It's a nano, the only ipod model I've yet to own, and I have to say, so far it's my favorite.  It's just so... precious, for lack of a better word.  I mean, the damn thing is teensy weensy.  I wasn't really expecting that for some reason.  I love it, though.  I'm hoping it'll motivate me to listen to more music, which will in turn motivate me to explore and discover more music which I can share with you.  And frankly, if that's not a happy thought and doesn't strike you positively, you can go drink a whole bottle of pirate juice.

Okay, back to the main point.  Seriously, guess what.  Okay man, you suck at this game.  So I'm finally going to a concert tomorrow.  First real one in...  shit, man.  I don't even want to think about how long.  So who do you think is playing?  Need a hint??
mmmmmmmmmustang............
Got it yet??  Need another hint?
this album cover still doesn't make much sense to me
It's Best Coast.  Did you get it yet?  If you didn't, then... well...  umm...  I don't have anything nice to say, so I better not say anything.  Anyway, they're playing with these guys...
what band do you think this is?  hint: it's Wavves
So needless to say I'm pretty stoked.  There'll be a little of this:
is it possible to look more apathetic while playing guitar?
And some of this...
and on the 7th day, hipster Jesus created Pabst
And a whole lot of this...
Fuckk yesss...
At this place...
the (in)famous 40 Watt Club, Athens, GA
And at some point you'll probably want one of these...
because nothing goes with loud guitars and overpriced beer quite like polish sausage soaked in bbq sauce.
And if that don't bring a smile to your face, then you have a heart of stone.  If I can make myself remember to, I'll try and take some pictures.  Hopefully they won't come out all blurry and shitty.  I'll also try and remember to not drink too many beers so I can describe everything in painstaking detail.  So at some point in the near future I'll let you know how it was so you can be jealous and kill yourself because your life will never be as awesome as mine and simply can't go on living with that knowledge anymore.  I don't really want that to happen, because if you killed yourself, then you couldn't read my blog anymore.  Unless ghosts can get internet access??  I don't know, man.  That's a different argument entirely.

On a 100% unrelated matter, it was recently confirmed to me that my spirit animal is, in fact, the crow.
crows are pretty badass.
How do I know this?  It's irrelevant.  But for some reason it just feels right.  I don't actually sincerely believe in this kind of thing, but if I did, I would be happy.  Well, I'm happy either way.  Crows are kind of cool.  But are they cooler than wolves?
yeah, so wolves are still cooler
No.  But I bet a wolf would respect a crow.


And that's fucking saying something, man.














ps- how fucking awesome is that picture of Hipster Jesus??

The fly in the ointment.

So remember that amp I was telling you about??  Here it is.

Mmmmmmmm..........
It needs a little work, but then, you wouldn't expect a 35-40 year old amp to be cherry.  125w of vintage, obnoxiously loud American power with 4 channels, spring reverb, and built in footswitchable vibrato.  I'll probably spend $30 just to make it look and sound a little better, but even still I got it for cheaper than you'd ever believe.  And I can't wait to hear what it's going to sound like connected to this...
Thunder.

...with the red coily cord (as Jack Black, aka, gearmandude might say).  And what will there be to compliment it, might you wonder??  Why, dear friend, just envision, if you will, this thing right here...
Lust.
...and what you get is a sonic explosion that frankly, words alone fall short on being able to describe.  This part of the blog is called "shameless self promotion".  We haven't recorded a single song yet, but the sound is finally coming together and we're firing on all cylinders.  Ultimately, it's noise that sounds kind of like this looks.

This one's too close to call...
But it makes you feel like this.

Simpler times.
But of course, you know, the whole endgame, the ultimate goal of the operation is to somehow seduce this woman.  (do not judge me)

That's Jenny Lewis again, if you hadn't noticed.
Can you tell I decided that my picture driven blog posts are better?  Hmm...  what if I combined pictures and sounds together??  Too much??  Anyway, I still haven't finished the angry music mixtape I'm working on.  I keep getting distracted by alcohol, video games, work, and pretty girls.  Can you honestly blame me?  I have learned that both Mastodon and the Kills are making new albums.  At least one of them is going to be good amazing.  Both of them will have awesome album covers.  I can almost guarantee this fact above all others.  I better finish this mixtape soon because I'm almost in too good of a mood to concentrate on angry music.  I'm seeing Best Coast and Wavves in about two weeks at the 40 Watt in Athens.  I've already got 3 days off work for the event.  Can you tell I'm fucking stoked??


If you aren't already jealous, you should be.  And you're clearly not subscribing to this blog yet.  Why not?  This shit is gold.  I love you guys.  You're alright.  No, I'm not drunk.

1000 internets to you if you get this Minus the Bear reference.

When you want me, you got me where you want me again.


Until next time, tiger.
