Check him out!

You know, not Alec.


I ran in to this guy at LAX yesterday.

I said to myself "I know who that is!". But I couldn't quite pin him down. I knew he was one of the Baldwin brothers. Only I didn't know which one. Of course I knew it was not Alec. So the next best guess would have to be Stephen.
I know this barely qualifies as a post, but its a slow news day.
Now I can say I met one of the Baldwin brothers! (...golf claps).

Oh!

Music Musings







Music: an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner


Its quite simple really. Yet so varying that I cannot fathom the types of music to be created by the human species.

I'm hooked on a few bands right now. I'll post a few of them right here.

1.Belle and Sebastian: An oldie but a goodie. Scottish pop. Favorite song: If she wants me

2. Yelle: For the past year i've been raving about this artist and now she is touring in the USA. Yea! Fave song: Tristesse/Joie

3. Boys Noize: Just that, boys noise. Its awesome electronic/bassy/crazy/jumpin'/freaky music that you'll love. Fave: And Down

4. Jens Lekman: Swedish folk pop. Awesome lyrics, oldie sound, very nostalgic. Fave song: Opposite of Hallelujah

5. Ryan Adams: Alternative Rock/Blues/Country. Very good lyrics, good string work. Fave album: Cold Roses

6. Dave Matthews Band: Jam Band. Cannot say enough about how much I love this band. Fave: So much to say.

I think thats about it for now. Listen to these artists if you get a chance. It will be worth your while.

Coffee On A Saturday




Saturday morning again. Usual routine: Coffee, paper and music.
Work tonight, dreading it.
This heat is killing me. Literally.
Might move up north. Don't know when though.
Life is good. Could be better though.
Plan for today: Relax

Busted


Yet again I have to deal with my car and its unwillingness to work for me. I shouldn't be surprised its almost 14 years old. Quite old for a car. I don't know what I'll do with it but keeping it just seems to cost me more money than what I paid for it.
On a brighter note, I went to see Vampire Weekend last night with Tony, Marla and Nicole. It was entertaining to say the least. The first two opener bands sucked. Nevertheless we stayed until VP played and they never fail to disappoint. After that I headed home, but I wasn't really tired so I called Mig and we stayed up till 2 watching movies. Good times.
With all my issues I still feel optimistic about life. I think thats just my brain ignoring the obvious and letting me wander around in this blissful state. I just might be going crazy. But do crazy people know they're crazy? I guess i'll never know.

freedom

freedom
YOU HAVE REACHED THE END OF THE ROAD

Nevertheless

and Henceforth I shall remain truly yours...
