WeeeeeeZ

Ahhhh a tracklist, let the Limewiring begin. Now if I could only figure out which 5 of those 12 song are going to be the good ones.

Bloc Party has a 930 Club date for June 16th. Too soon.

More mandates.

Gross. My theory of Death is in full effect. I'll need Brendan and Jack to confirm.

Try and check out Sin City this weekend?

So, who's up for driving to Philly on a Tuesday night to see Weezer at the Electric Factory? Bueller? Anyone?

Ya know another good American Gov't word/phrase? Manifest Destiny. Why don't they toss that one around Deadwood more?

I saw the Spears thing on CNN this morning. Their pop culture critic said "I'm very happy for Britney, but I'm concerned that Kevin Federline is reproducing at an alarming rate."

Sure, Sin City - maybe Fri night.

No Tuesday night Philly Weezer trip. No Sin City Friday night (Opera). No dice.

Manifest Destiny makes a notable appearance in the VH1 Classic commercial where the guy is drawing Billy Idol on his notebook. They have much better things to discuss on Deadwood, like rustlin' up some strange.

Didn't know you had operatic season tix. Saturday then.

Yeah, no more weeknight concerts in general, until next year, when we move to DC, and everything changes.

Bloc Party's in a hurry, eh? I assume 930 will sell out and the number of X's on hands will skyrocket. Hey, the new Deerhoof is awesome!

I hate to hate on kids who like good music. God knows I looked like an idiot at all the concerts I attended from '94-... '05. Still, there's something unseemly (skeevy?) about those preppy girls who never looked at Rivers Cuomo rocking out to the next big British retro act. Then again, I used to go watch ska bands.

The GoG's blog dislikes presales and Ryan Adams, bites pitchfork's news, and can't find women's shoes. What do they like?

I see 2 directions to go: 1) Start loving Deerhoof or 2) Join the Bosstones or Wax. I think the Swedish irony of Turbonegro might be enough to tide us over until the Indie popularity wave passes over us. I just hope you don't see some gross man-made junk when the wave knocks us under. I also feel like the (now) lame punk shows we would go to weren't as mainstream as some of this stuff now, and there certainly weren't any good looking teen girl squads there.

The opera should be the last one for a little while. I think he got more tickets for fewer shows this season.

Ryan Adams is skeevy.

I was concerned about the phrase "man-made junk", but then I got it.

You're right, Guttermouth never got a spot on 90210. But it was cool for kids in hilfiger sweathsirts to dig green day and rancid. Hell, I used to be so good at replicating band logos on my binders, I fulfilled requests to art-ify backpacks - I put several graffiti "Rancid"s and two tone "Specials" next to iron-on 311 and sublime patches (which I did not endorse). Jansports were second only to thank-you lists as sources for new music.

Excellent.

This isn't that interesting, I just like the headline.

You should have a Phi Delt alum email awaiting in your gmail. Brooks says they really enjoyed playing "chaff" ball. Idiots.

Not sure if this will work, but if it does it ought to be hilarious.

Your g-mail thing did not work. Judging from the alumni and current brothers in attendance I'm sure it was closer to Chav-ball. Mainly because of Spider and Gunn. I'm sure Mr. Fortucci-Bieberbach and Ralphie didn't help matters.

Many thanks to Brendan for the judgement re: the theory. (Just as Tatsuro just calls Japanimation, animation, I will refer to the Me theory of death as "the theory.")

Brendan - that was not my understanding of the theory. Hmm. When's the next KCJTOD Seminar? I like that TOD is an acronym for Theory of Death, as Tod is German for death. And if anybody knows death...

Perhaps this will work. It's worth it.

I understood the theory (and this could be a product of hearing it from Jack) to be: The longer a sucky person lives, the less people will come to the funeral. He/she will eventually ostracize everyone around them. The Bloodhound Gang has touched on the subject in "Lift Your Head Up High (and Blow Your Brains Out)" because "life's short and hard like a body building elf." Brendan's interpretation certainly works and falls well within my set of beliefs.

The greatness of that photo can not be expressed with words.
