hi everyone,

this time of year, two (two????) years ago, roddy gave me a copy of the newly mastered idlewild fifth and asked me to mull it over. i walked with it to and from work, soaking in something very different than "the remote part." i ended up falling in love with that record, though even i was shocked when the NME gave it a 9 out of 10. i love idlewild, but i dont think "warningskarenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00763276546424083702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876588.post-1159913587332987552006-10-03T18:11:00.000-04:002006-10-03T18:13:07.366-04:00for those of you who prefer flyers to reading:

what a terribly exciting couple of days! first i hit chi-town for the first time ever and had a fantastic trip. hey chicago people, you have a great town! crap baseball team, cool town.

see, the crap thing about getting shit hammered really early in the night is that you then go through all the bad post-drink symptoms at painfully annoying hours. like, normally when you get wasted at say, midnight, by the time the spins and the nausea kick in youre usually (hopefully) safely asleep, and so the only thing effected is your dream pattern. but take karenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00763276546424083702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5876588.post-1153508659385632442006-07-21T14:42:00.000-04:002006-07-21T15:04:19.430-04:00TIME BOMB BABY
