Hey, baby. See all them leaves scattered about? It takes quite a muscly arm to rake 'em all alone.
Oh, by the way, I've been spying on you in your jean jacket and swimsuit, so I left you a little present for beachin' season... you're welcome.
I rarely get all "causey" but I saw a friend post this article on FB and thought it was a really good read. I'm sure a lot of you have seen the "Eat. Sleep. Rape. Repeat." shirt that some jerkstore was sporting at Coach this weekend. Well, this article talks about the bigger issue at hand here. Why he thought wearing the shirt was ok and the sexually charged environment that exists in the music scene today. As a female who goes to shows alone often I have had the displeasure of being groped or touched at shows. Actually, I was just talking to a board member about a guy who was grabbing her ass at a show last night. Because for some reason if you're a girl and you're alone and dancing and a guy is standing behind you that means it's ok for him to grab you or dance on you. It's not ok. And it happens constantly.
Anyways, this is a good article and worth the read.
Walking home from work, after I finished a half-pint of tequila in the handicap bathroom, this was one of the stupid free-styles I spouted on the Washington Avenue bridge:
"I'm not rapping anything poignant, I'm just like Chandler Bing with the ointment."

I understand that there are many reasons why a woman may not feel comfortable confronting the harasser. But shouting at the person to stop it, if nothing else, would get the attention of the people around you. It's not only women who are offended by that behavior. A lot of men are equally offened by that behavior and wold have no problem telling the creep to behave.
SInce I, as a rule, don't make serious posts, I feel compelled to add that I know this from all the times people have confronted me when I was that creep.
Waiting for the realtor to call and let me know whether or not the lady friend and myself got the house that we wanted. We had one person in line ahead of us, and as of about 2:30pm yesterday afternoon hadn't paid his deposit yet. If he didn't pay, we get it. She said she would call back in the next half hour.
Just finished watching the first half of INXS: Never Tear Us Apart and I'm starting the second half now. I've been a fan of them for a long time because of my dad's love for them in the 80's but I didn't really know much about the band aside from the fact that their music kicks ass. But that film increased my love for them a great deal. Just wanted to say a couple things that made me giggle: 1.) some of the girls were just casted as "Naked Girl" which just cracks me up that they didn't put ANY effort into not objectifying those characters. 2.) Somebody (everyone's fave rooster, miafins) recently said that they thought Tame Impala would headline after this next album releases, which I do not agree with but I think it is an extremely distant possibility. However, one member on the board responded by saying there is NOOOOO WAY it could happen. Not calling it unlikely, but instead saying it was pretty much impossible UNLESS "the album goes double platinum." What cracks me up about this is how far fetched they made it sound for Tame Impala to go double platinum because at the end of the first half they deal with "Kick" which is INXS's album that went QUADRUPLE platinum.

I'll buy you a beer when Tame Impala's new album goes double platinum. because that is pretty far-fetched, honestly. only a handful of albums even went platinum last year, and of those only a few were actually released last year (TSwift went 2x, Jason Aldean, Sam Smith).
the albums cumulatively certified double-platinum last year: Bruno Mars – Unorthodox Jukebox – 2x platinum (2012) One Direction – Up All Night – 2x platinum (2011) One Direction – Take Me Home – 2x platinum (2012) P!nk – Truth About Love – 2x platinum (2012) Otis Redding – The Very Best of Otis Redding – 2x platinum Soundtrack – Frozen – 2x platinum, 3x platinum (2013) Taylor Swift – 1989 – 2x platinum, 3x platinum (2014)
i don't think tame impala will ever go double platinum.

Ah, no, I'm not trying to say it will go double platinum, I'm just saying it's not as far fetched as that guy made it out to be, I don't think it will happen, but I don't think it's impossible. I think there's certainly a decent shot for them to eventually get a double platinum album. Coincidentally, if they go double platinum, I believe they'll be the first group from Perth to do so since INXS.
I just found out that Riot Fest 2013 was actually made especially for teenage Monie and I didn't find out about the line up until just now while I look up live performances of Brand New.
BLINK ONE EIGHTY FUCKING TWO (!!!!!!!!) Violent Femmes Pennywise Brand New Rancid AFI Sublime w/ Rome Taking Back Sunday Yellowcard Bad Religion Atmosphere Against Me! Saves the Day
And that's not even including people like Public Enemy, Best Coast, Twin Peaks and Empires who I didn't get into until after high school/ recently.
What a sad day to find out about missed opportunities. Wtf was I doing?!?!

I caught part of that doco when it premiered on SBS last year... good stuff!
I didn't know much about INXS when Michael Hutchence died, but it was one of the first celebrity deaths that made me think "holy shit... this is a big deal." I guess there was Kurt Cobain and Tupac and a few others, but it's a bit different when you see people aged 15-25 mourning a rockstar, versus half the adults in the city.
Oh, and I recently learned one of my Aussie concert-going friends saw INXS as a pub band... wanker!

Caribou just released the video for "Can't Do Without You". In the video, there is a giant rainbow colored fish. Turns out he's giving it away to a lucky fan!
On Caribou's website, it states:
I NEED A HOME
Hello,
You've just seen me in the 'Can't Do Without You Video' but where am I going next?
Give me a purpose, an adventure, somewhere unique for me to call home.
Can you provide me with a special plan for the rest of my days?
Tell me what your dream is for me by emailing before April 22nd.
If your idea is chosen I will be delivered to you ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.
Hope to see you soon x
Really fucking cool. I'd love to enter, but I have no where to keep a 12 foot long psychedelic fish. Wanted to pass it along in case someone did though!
Thought about making an entry to have it delivered to Bonnaroo. Would be cool to have it swim through the crowd during the show. But not sure what I'd do with it afterwards.

I need someone to adult for me. Seriously. All I need in a future husband is someone who will do my taxes (so I am not finishing them up on my lunch break on April 15th) and other adult things like car registration and making me go to the doctor. And he should help me put clothes away because I suck at that too. I'll cook... clean.. whatever else no problem. I just SUCK at being responsible adult.
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.
