Dubble Doozy / Bubblin' and Boozy

Today I laced up a ridiculous pair of white patent leather sneaks that feature not only pink but also snakeskin accents for the first time. Best christmas present ever. If these fuckers get scuffed, I'm done for. It's absurd... I walked about a little but just couldn't stop thinking about my damn feet. You know what? I'm gonna scuff the bastards. Then there's just no worries.

Heaterz 'n Bleaterz

Yet anotha Mystikz re-press -- the Stuck/Neverland 12" -- not to mention Bury Da Bwoy/Hunter... man, I'm scrawling a sharpie DMZ stencil on my double decade Veriflex, you bet. Today was the first day of the year I had an actual excuse to be slicked w/ sweat 'pon my stroll home from le office, and of course the next logical step was in this case Blonde Doppelbock and plenty thereof. Followups w/ T++, Salah Ragab & Cairo Jazz Band, Hot Flush 12s, and der TPK proved me right on the sweat front.

Many thanks to the multitudinous internet presences -- only Noz' Posse on Blogway springs to my currently befogged mind (Holy Shit XXL.com redesign... new blood indeed), but I pray there are more --for the Devin the Dude reminders. I finally checked out the new tracks and fuck yes I'm getting back into the weed game stat. No more paranoia, my doobie ashtray is cleaned and polished and jus' fuckin' reddy kilopott. FYI I broke Tryin' to Live in on my headphones during my first 'n only trip abroad, which happened to be to the lovely Netherlands. If your initial experiences w/ said album were as perfect... contact me. That said, To tha Xtreme didn't hit me (heh) quite as hard, but I wasn't going anywhere cool that time. I'm headed to Paris in a couple months, tho', so I dunno now what the fates will be stashing for his new 'un, Waiting to Inhale. Initial reaction is that my personal calendar is marked, and I'm str8 enough for now that I'll even remember. Promise.

Not sure who noticed, but my own personal daddy radio prog is kinda chunky. As in, fuck if I have been putting thought to staying on point as of late. Just enuff thought to keep the indecencies down until I get that late nite spot (HOLLER). For example, below is yet another archival sendspace link. During the (thankfully few) voicebreaks, notice that I totally forget how to speak. Let alone the questionable track choices. Pshaw.

Insufferable Picks - 03/09/07 (sendspaceroo):
  1. Tindersticks - Until the Morning Comes - Waiting For the Moon
  2. Matt Valentine - Hats Off to Bob Malloy - Space Chanteys
  3. Beat Happening - Grave Digger Blues - Black Candy
  4. Susanna and Her Magical Orchestra - Love Will Tear Us Apart - Melody Mountain
  5. Paul Metzger - August - split 12" w/ Ben Chasny + Chris Corsano on Roaratorio
  6. Natural Snow Buildings - Wisconsin - The Dance of the Moon and the Sun
  7. Edmond de Deyster - Side B, Pt 1 - Selectie 01
  8. Shackleton - I Want to Eat You - 10"
Well, sue me if I feel that I've "grown" enough in these few short, nourishing weeks to try something a lil' new, a lil' stupid. So... NOT this Friday (03/16, when I shall be playing my normal mix of carved sub-turkey and resplendent sparklebeat) but NEXT Friday (03/23, if I did that add thing right) I will be attempting an entirely electronix-ass-shake type set. 'Cause I wanna. That's right, all dubstep, minni techno, broken house... ummm... well, needless to say there will be no attention paid to beatmatching, blending, or setting the correct pitch on the turntable. I just wanna do it. And thought you should be warned if you actually listen and aren't, y'know, into that kinda thing. Done poorly.

Note that this isn't a permanent genre-shift. While I've got this 1 hour timesnot I may decide to do this on occassion to "get the jitters out" before realizing what I'm best at: Slapdash conglomerates of all that is fetid. Word is b, eyes in back etc etc.

Shudder the windoze

What can I say? I've been drained. Charging. Chagrined. Naw, most actually things are overly complacent. So whadamI gonna bitch about here? Snowbanks are receding. Soon dudes will be blasting tinny Floyd on State St whilst making cosmic space paintings for yokels in letter jackets. I fooled the brah at the liquor store into charging me for only a bottle of Piraat and got three Atomiums for free. Wasn't even trying! I couldn't if I wanted to! I gotta fuckin RAISE for chissakes. This whole undertaking seems so... indulgent.

I HAVE BEEN WEARING A BATHROBE ALL AFTERNOON.

As a means to show my utter goodwill in the laziest way possible, I direct you to this fine site, currently hosting a megamix of just what I wanna hear right now.

Now if you'll excuse me, I must go slushin'.
