Alright, it’s not actually gonna be called Pastor of Muppets.
Its gonna be called Shitty Shitty Band Band. That whole Pastor thing was just so arrogant. So full of itself. I think SSBB is good cuz it’s humble, ya know? Like Beck. Remember when he was a loser baby so why don’t you kill him?
Yeah, it’s like that.

Okay, me and Pete are finishing up our vocal and guitar basic tracks for the forthcoming Dandy Warhols album, tentatively titled The Pastor of Muppets. Zia and Fatty will likely be done by the end of the month, then the mixing nightmare followed by mastering. mixedmasteredmarch.

Just got caught in a loop. Couldn’t stop playing this over and over for about a half hour. It really got me somehow.

Hot Rod and DJ Rescue fans,
Here’s the First Thursday event you’ve all been waiting for!
See you fools at Weiden & Kennedy tomorrow evening.
Oh and VIP parking out front for people with car show worthy cars
This night is for Brush Prairie fans:
This will be my first show at The Woods and I’m very much looking forward to it.
If you like vintage country, you’ll love Brush Prairie.
One last thing: Jade Lounge (2348 SE Ankeny) is my favorite chill place to DJ. The happy hour menu is super yum and the custom cocktails made from in house, infused liquors are the best in town. I’ll be there from 8-11pm February 22, March 15 and 28. Basically the 3rd Tuesday of every month with a few bonus ones sprinkled in. Please join me for a relaxing, tasty Tuesday.

Hey everyone. I’ve decided that for all of February I’m not going on any benders.
Unless of course I really need one.

(2005) When making this “style” of indie realist film there is no margin for errors and one of the many things that make this movie amazing is I think there actually aren’t any. |

(2010) Some fine cinematography but the gratuitous amounts of blood and mutilation make it only slightly more disgusting than the dialogue and lack of authenticity in detail make it ridiculous. |

Ok, look what I found. Here’s a picture of the Pillars of the Earth author. Uncanny. I think I really nailed it.

Hey, I am down here in Melbourne. My band Immigrant Union has a residency every Thursday night in February at The Tote, 71 Johnson street in Collingwood. You should come down, it will be great.

This is what I read over the holiday season. I just found out there’s some kind of mini-series of it and that makes perfect sense.
“Soap opera.” I stewed for weeks over how to describe it and finally (after giving up almost a month ago) those two words really nail it for me. Ironically this book came into my life soon after the Thomas Hardy debacle and I say ironic because if I were to put that name before the two aforementioned words it would describe this book even better. It seemed to me that Ken Follett was a depressed gay hairdresser who had read every Hardy novel between high school and college so when he cut hair he would tell the ladies Thomas Hardy stories.
Judging from “Pillars” though, he clearly had mixed up the characters and plots so badly that by the time Bev or Jan or whomever urged him to write his own book he was happily free of any real plagiaristic details.
Well the book is a real fun read if you don’t mind cheap and catty set in a rich historical tapestry in which case you might also try “I, Claudius”.
