Hey everyone. Chelsea and I have recently been inspired to shave our heads to raise money for childhood cancer research. It's pretty short notice, but we decided to do it Saturday since there will be an event close to us this weekend. We have an ambitious goal of $500 for just a few days, but please donate anything you can! The link is below. Thanks, and share this with your friends!

I picked the "Throwback Thursday" playlist on Spotify today to drown out the Jesus music coming from the operator's area behind my partition. I was making it through the Eve 6, No Doubt and Fuel, even some Hoobastank and Crazy Town gave me a little chuckle and fun. But then they decided to drop two Train songs in the mix. I wasn't trying to throw it back that far, Spotify.
Movin' on to the Daily Mix "Made for Angela". Don't judge when you see my playlist for today, peeps.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Don't tell anybody this, but I kind of have a weird soft spot for Train. Just Drops of Jupiter really.

Also,
I actually made it through Drops of Jupiter, because I don't hate that song. But when Meet Virginia came up about 4 songs after that one, I was like, "peace out Spotify!!"

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

Also on the topic of family names, that's a big thing for us. I have sisters with the middle names Lewis and Dudley, respectfully. I got lucky thank goodness.

Oh man, Dudley. Interesting. How do they feel about it? I could see it being one of those things that someone might find cool, or might not.

Alycia Dudley is fine with it. Liberty Lewis got the short end of the stick with the hippie first name and family middle name. Margaret Ellen and myself skirted out safely in the naming game.
I almost didn't though, as the youngest of 4 girls growing up on a farm, by the time I was born my dad wanted a boy so badly I was almost named Gus, short for Gustav. My mom put her foot down thankfully. We ended up with 3 consecutive rottweilers all named Gus instead.

And, while we are on the topic. How do you feel about the middle name "Cobra"? Is that a cool middle name for a boy? Because if I ever have anymore kids, they are getting MMJ related names. I think a boy would love having that middle name until he is about 10, then he can just use the second middle name I'll give him and not tell anyone about "Cobra". Sound legit?

What's wrong with Jim? or James?
I've already used that one, on the first born son, when Jim was still in Jr. High. Call it a prophesy.

Gideon and cobra were both in the running. Arthur barely beat out Gideon and my daughter is not happy about it.
My middle name is Peter after Peter Tosh, one of my dad's favorites musicians who had died a little bit before I was born. I want to make that a family tradition. Levon would make a great middle name IMO
Is there an interviews thread? Here a pretty good DJ Shadow one I came across. Some good stuff about sampling, Endtroducing's 20th anniversary, burden of early career recognition etc if anyone's interested.
Congrats, snowman! Does that make your child a snowball?
And fun fact, the 'chaz' in my @ handle is short for my middle name, Charles. I share my middle name with my grandfather. Also I think it's cool for girls to have middle names that are traditionally boy names. If I have a daughter I have a strong preference for "Avalon Jack". I think it's both beautiful and strong, as far as names go.
2. the show made me remember another reason why I can't WAIT to move out of richmond: it's a glorified college town. I love the venue - the national - here, but the crowd is consistently young AF and have zero concert etiquette. so many people cutting in front of people, not understanding personal space (esp. when the venue has plenty of room), talking, people that are wayyyyy too fucked up, fights always close to breaking out, and just general rude behavior. can't wait to be in a big city again and not be constantly surrounded by people that are 98% under the age of 24.
It really comes down to the shows you attended here. If I go to some punk/metal weirdness at Strange Matter, I'm positive I'll be the oldest in attendance. I saw Kevin Morby and Waxahatchee and was on the younger side of the crowd. (E: oddly enough both crowds are dressed identical)
You're right about a glorified college town though. Those kids are part of the reason I stopped going to "high profile" RVA shows
BROADBERRY OR GTFO. Seriously. You don't deal with 60% of the BS you deal with at The National.
oh absolutely! the shows I've been to with an older crowd have been great! but there have only been like 2 because of the kinds of shows that come through RVA. it sucks because the national is SUCH a fantastic venue, wish the crowds elevated to its level. I think the national is the only RVA venue I've seen shows at, now that I think about it. been to charlottesville sprint pavilion a few times and the NORVA though.
I wish more artists up my alley would come through small venues like the broadberry! richmond is a very metal/punk/hardcore/twangy folky city, so I'm not very familiar with/into a large majority of the smaller-scale bands that tour here.

My only real regret about not having kids is that we had such great names picked out. A boy would have been Wiley Thomas, and a girl would have been Gretchen Calliope.
No kidding, I feel the same way. I think growing up in the country helped me too. Here is a great article parenting in the US vs the world. Have American Parents Got It All Backwards?
I'm on my phone and hate typing from my phone so I'll keep this short. Great article! My littles were snuggled and still are. They are 10 and 8. This snuggle time is the time that we usually have some of our best conversations now. They have never once had anxiety going to school or other new places. They're very independent happy kids. I've been sick on the couch and my kids keep checking on me. <3
Sometimes I have to pretend I don't see them when they're doing things that freak me out.

Thanks for sharing that article! I'll be sure to keep it all in mind (and remember how I was raised this way) while raising my little.
Y'all are welcome. I always enjoy sharing stuff like this.

I'm about to finish back-to-back listening to Kanye West's albums (I only heard a few of his songs before today). I tried to listen to some of his albums in the past, but didn't like it then. It finally clicked for me this time. #confessions
