Day II

Have you ever gone somewhere with someone, and realize in unison that it was a terrible idea? Ever wanted to run in the opposite direction of the train wreck you just walked into?
I kinda did that today when I went downtown to the block party and heard this guy scream "ALL RIGHT". Exhibit A:

DISCLAIMER: Don't really watch this.

So, I guess that today's song is "First Communion" by Gang Gang Dance because I've always imagined it as the soundtrack for a chase scene in a movie.

Song of the Day

[While ambitious, I really am boyishly flinging myself into one of these commitments of producing a "song a day" post for a week straight. I'm gonna try.]

So, I went to Pitchfork. I am still simmering in the sauce that is my memory of that ridiculous weekend. I am working on a sampler playlist from the weekend, but the M83 show was what got me to sit down and write THIS blog.

Let me set it up for you. We get there and make friends with people who end up giving us beer. right next to us is a group of kids dressed like indians, eating shrooms, smoking weed, and drinking out of a flask. If they weren't either fat or pimply, I probably would have joined them. And then Morgan Kibby comes on stage with a sequint top that was nearly see through, braless. Needless to say, when the music actually started, the party only got better. This song was the one that got everyone feeling like those drugged up indians.

Summer?

I guess summer when you're six is the epitome of what a summer should be. No school, no work, you're parents leave you at summer camps or at home with a cool babysitter and you just fucking rage and play all day, everyday. I remember becoming exceptionally skilled in baseball one summer, and now I suck. I wish we could revert back to those days. Back when I would wake up and read a Babysitters Club book and then play manhunt with my friends on the block. Now I wake up and go to Beginning Spanish II for three hours every day, then come home and do homework, or run other errands, before I drag myself into work.

But hey, in a few years, I will be a teacher, and have summers off again!
In the mean-time, heres a play list that will at least lift my summer blues.
"Dog Parks and Sunshine"

For Barry.
You were always uplifting.

Cinco de Mayo!!

Honestly, it wouldn't have been right to post this playlist on time. I needed to recover, which is just a part of the Cinco de Mayo celebrations. And I feel that with the advent of Summer during the Swine Flu pandemic, we could all use a mix to remind us why summer, and hispanic/portuguese music ROOLS.

Anyway, I have been listening to this for a while, it's one of my best to just listen to while working, eating, seducing, etc.



This playlist is dedicated to a traveling Guti. Happy trails!

Cleaning my room

So it's been a while, and, well there's no way to segway into this. I was cleaning my room, and I hate just listening to my music on shuffle. I love listening to music that motivates me to move, and thus, a play list is born.

I made it on youtube, I KNOW! But all of these videos are pretty cool. I suggest you follow this link.

My vacuum!
I know, she's bautiful.
