Okay. Hiatus over. Sometimes I have to break promises just to prove I can. So there wasn't any more for a while.
After she's done with work, Stacey's coming over to cut my hair. I like it long, but at some point in the next month, I have to get a job and here in ol' good ol' boy's club Nebraska, it's a huge detriment. Call me out for selling out, but I have bills and debts to pay. There's a picture floating around on vagrant of it kind of long (I'm wearing a red Kool-Aid cap over it), but that was several months ago. There should be one from really recently around once I develop some film.
Right now, I'm listening to The Darkness. I've read quite a bit of gush about them recently and had a sort of curiousity, then the other night around 2:30am I was flipping around trying to get sleepy and saw a video for "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" played just before VH's "Jump," a fairly apt order. I get the feeling their revival of 80s hair metal is half an ironic tongue-in-cheek "in on the joke" type thing, half legitimate adulation that's resulted in guitar-spanking a la Eddie and Rikki and Slash and those sorts...and the wailing vocals really aren't terrible. Okay, well, they are, but they're meant to be.
Next I'll be checking out The Fiery Furnaces.
For those who haven't heard or seen me blathering about it, I went to Chicago last week. The Cubs lost Games 6 & 7, both of which I attended. I think I'm bad luck, but nowhere near as bad luck as that poor Steve Bartman. I found a bookstore on Clark St. that has a heavy dedication to the Beats. Thanks again to Shane for putting me up. It was great to just kind of wander around some of my favorite places with no real agenda for a while.
While thanks are being handed out, thanks to Derek Walker for putting together a mix CD circle. The first one I got is from Short and it's beautiful. I need to send it along to Slim very very soon.
Buy the new Bandoppler.
Any Ideas for a Halloween costume? Stacey and I were going to do this great 1920s thing and she still hopefully will, but finding any mens stuff for that time period is impossible. I even tried a costume shop...nothing. I need a simple, cheap costume that won't make me uncomfortable. If nothing else, I'll don my 80s hair metal wig and do something along those lines.
