Do I look like some kinda beatnik?
i'm being lazy. it shouldnt come as any surprise. I just reminded myself of this thing my mom said when we were in the airport last summer. I was checking in ahead of them, as I'd purchased my fare seperately, and trying to manage my guitar, overstuffed duffel bag, and carry-on shoulder bag through the line up to the counter. I heard my mom say "[Alejandra] looks like a hippie (harhar)". I dont recall whether it was my brother or brother in law who responded "well, she kinda is" HURRRRRR
Enough with the unnesscary telling of irrelevent boring anecdotes
.
I dont understand why i dont hear more about Heatmiser. As popular as Elliott Smith is, you'd think people would be gobbling up every last bit of anything he'd had any involvement with. Heatmiser's first couple albums bare very little similarity to Smith's solo work. Its the influence of fellow frontman Neil Gust (who would go on to form another indie super group of sorts, No. 2) that stands out, with the heavy rock tinged arrangements. Their Third release, Mic City Sons, feels much more familiar and Smith takes lead vocal duty much more often on it.
Its all very interesting for an Elliott Smith fan to hear.
Dead Air (1993)
Cop and Speeder (1994)
Yellow no.5 EP (1994)
Mic City Sons (1996)
so i've spent a lot less time listening to awesome music and a lot more time watching some awesome episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm the last couple days. Its my new favorite show. We dont have HBO so I hadnt seen a minute of it until September when one of my new old roommates threw on his DVDs. Hilarity ensued. Part of what made it so funny was listening to Eric, my 6'4" ex-roommate, giggle like a little kid.
it kinda figures that my favorite episode would be one involving the reefer
AND HURLEY!

one of the reasons ive done less than my usual amount of listening this week is that im in the process of tagging and organizing all my files.I'm half way through R of my main folder woot!!!@3! it'd be a lot worse of a proposition if not for this fantastic application Im using to tag, Musicbrainz. Its fantatsic, though it can cause a lot of problems if used incorrectly. I figured Id do this before I upgraded my storage capacity. I'm also going to be backing everything up, finally. Getting this stuff done makes me feel just a tiny bit better about this downtime.
I think i'll cry when my drive fails. Itd better not be before Ive got everything on dvds.
god bless the interweb
tons of beautiful music and curb
i had a completely fucked up dream yesterday
in it someone told me i coined the term interweb. the fuck?
im not using the little mood indicator thing anymore. some varient of fucking gloomy should be assumed i guess ill use it otherwise.
ive got more today. I mean it this time.
