Musical History

A friend asked me this weekend what the Number 1 song was on the day I was born. I was impressed with the question and didn't have the answer. Being the music junkie that I am, I have found the answer.

Billie Jean by Michael Jackson.

What was yours?

Also, someone tried telling me Heat was the best ensemble cast movie, but I think it was this one.

Time For A Change

That's right, I finally got a new pair of sneakers. My first pair in over a year.

I will probably retire my BMORE Air Force Ones with the Management laces. Anyone who can explain the irony of my sneakers will get a ticket to a concert of my choosing.

Just to put everything in perspective.

Old soul, and new.

This is pretty rad, I guess.

Well, they did it again

Death Cab makes a new record, and I don't listen to it for the first 8-12 months its been out, and when I finally come around to it, its awesome. I would have definitely put this on my Tops of 08 list had I listened to it. In all fairness, I did listen to "Cath" about 13,000 times in a row after Craig posted it on his blog back in April or May. An "We Have The Facts And We Are Voting Yes" will always be an all-time Top 10.

The reason I know 'Narrow Stairs" is great is because I've been listening to it here.

Honestly, this Hype Machine application/special/whatever you would call it definitely one of the best music releases of 09. Super sleek and smooth and useful. Its one of those things that make me say, "I would actually spend money to have access to this." Not alot of money, maybe somewhere between $2.99-$4.99, but still.

The Gaslight Anthem album has struck a particular chord with me. Also, what's up with these guys. Better announce a West Coast tour.

Tonight is an hour long episod of "The Office" and I almost finished writing a new song on my back deck today. Life is good.

So This Is The New Year

Na- Na- Na- Naaaaa-Na-Na

Get it? Its Chris Walla's guitar line. So what the difference between lettuce and cabbage?



Yeah, me neither.

So I've been doing some thinking, and felt I want to write more introspective and meaningful blog posts, but I don't think I will have time. For those who don't know, I just hit my one year anniversary for living in San Francisco. I moved here to work for this company. To say I've been busy would be an understatement.

But... that doesn't mean we can't have a good time, does it. I am please to announce that I will be playing at Maxfield's over in Dolores Park on January 30th. I expect this gig to be a once a month type thing. The fire is back, baby.

I am really digging the Bon Iver EP Blood Bank, and the copy of their/his MySpace Transmission session. Also, this Hype Machine thing is sweet. I am diggin the Gaslight Anthem because it makes me want to get all emo in a hard rock kinda way.

Also, I just realized I went to about 3 movies in the theater in SF, one of them being the Flaming Lips' movie "Christmas on Mars."

Not much else going on. Stay in touch.
