day off
monday and tuesday are my days off. it's kind of nice to have the first two weekdays of work off, because even though i work at 10am on both saturday and sunday, it still feels like an extended weekend or a snow day, while all the other suckers are working I wander the nooks & crannies of the city on my own with no obligations..
Chromatics - In The City
I'm staying at ryan's place temporarily, and have the pleasure of perusing through his record collection all day while he's at work making cheddar cheese. he's picked up alot of jams recently, and i thought i would catalog a few of them, in case any of you don't have them...
one that recently arrived at his door is either an original pressing or a very authentic looking reissue of a 45 by The Nerves.
The Nerves - Hanging on the Telephone
The Nerves - When You Find Out
They were a mid 70's power pop band, and they seemed to fit right between the Zombies, The Sonics (60's garage) and The Wipers ('Is This Real?' 1979), who Jared introduced me to on a mixtape he gave me 4 years ago.
The Wipers - Mystery
I still have the mixtape with the song 'Mystery' on it, in a box in my basement in av.
I went to Tsutaya, the Japanese blockbuster and rented Harmony Korrine's Gummo and Julien Donkey Boy the other day, both on video. This song reminds me of the large albino girl from Xenia, Ohio in the film who was born without toes, is looking for a man with brown, blue or any color of eyes and would pay money to touch Patrick Swayzey.
Raymond Scott - Tempo Block
..composed by Raymond Scott, friend of Bob Moog's, designer of the Clavivox and the Electronium, his music was licensed for use in Jim Henson's early films and cartoons such as Loony Tunes, The Simpsons and Ren & Stimpy...
Raymond Scott - Cindy Electronium
(note to Mark Swanson: if you're reading this, you know that mixtape on a gorgeous orange, tan and powder blue Maxell cassette that I left with you before going to Japan? If you still have this tape, please don't feed it to Buddy or let your mom stow it away and horde it in her armegeddon preparation shelter aka 'snack room')

Thanks for the jams. Did you hear about that plastic little remix contest...
http://blog.turntablelab.com/2007/03/plastic_little_remix_contest.html
you should do it...
The Wipers kick ass, but not many people I know seem to know about them. I found out about the Wipers through listening to Nirvana bootlegs. Nirvana used to do covers of songs called D7, and Return of the Rat. They both really good, no matter if it's the wipers, or Nirvana doing them.
yeah, jared i was gonna post up something from nirvana, but realized neither ryan nor i have anything of theirs, but...
*dirtbike mcgirtbike, if you're reading this, would you be so kind?
i'll get on that plastic little as soon as i switch on my half-broken juno 106..
I think I've heard of them before, Craig Kilborne's old band?
oh those nooks and crannies...my heart will always belong to them.
cheddar cheese is the most popular cheese in america.
Yes but it's probably process cheese which is hardly cheese at all.
