Tuesday the much anticipated Kanye West album Late Registration comes out. I will more than likely get a copy. My question to my audience is what are you listening to? I am to music what K is to movies. Honestly, thinking back now and realizing the conversations we have had in the past; we are the same person just in different medias.
Just the other day I was talking to Sutzer about a purchase I made the other day, Matisyahu - Live at Stubb’s, and K made some kind of snide remark about my taste in music. I returned fire with that he only listens to the Lion King album on infinite repeat.
Yet, if you go to K’s blog you’ll notice MANY posts about DVD’s with bonus footage, re-released DVD’s with director comments, DVD’s with deleted scenes… you get the picture. I haven’t seen a movie all summer. Wait, the last movie I saw was in the Spring and it was Sin City.
So a contrast in what we hold close to our love of entertainment, but we have passion. You should see my CD collection I am all over the place. It looks like a flea market sale with the variety of music I listen to.
Okay, to reiterate the quesion: What are you listening to and what do you want to be listening to?
I am starting to dig The New Pornographers. Pitchforkmedia gave it a 9/10.
Nattie sent this link over to me. Illinoisgasprices.com
Getting pretty ugly.
Uhh. I hate this cold. Its a beautiful day out and I really want to go bike riding but throat is rough and I got the sniffles. I am afraid if I go for one of my super long rides that I will just aggrivate it and have a hellacious next week. So I have been sitting in my “chair”, yes, I have declared a chair in the apartment mine and only mine, watching Surreal Life and a bunch of other crap tv.
I have been searching online for a new digital camera. But I have been torn on the subject for awhile because I can’t decide if I want strickly a camera or one that will do video as well. I think though I have come across something close though.

I will be judging a Cowgirl competition this evening at Mojo’s. Ladies should come out. There is a $100 grand prize.
Remember these boots were made for…. See you there ladies.
Sorry Stern, checked with Reier no dudes with toy guns.
The bbs at Posamist.com is now back up and running.
Ohh, good ol’ SternO has done it again. He has been put back in the papers. And not police beat like last time where he was caught running downing the street with grandma panties on his head. Stern is back in the game with his comic strip ‘Spring Patch’ now being published in the Illinois Times.
Best description of the comic: “Snoopy on crack.”
Ok, that might be a little harsh, but I think you’ll like it. In fact, I have it right here! Word is that in the coming weeks they will be publishing Spring Patch in color.
Its 2:30 in the am. I got home about a half hour ago. I am beat. I am so tired, that I am not tired. You follow? I am going to try to sleep in a little bit tomorrow morning and make it to work by 8, but I have a feeling I will be pulling a SternO by purchasing the Big Gulp Mocha with 10 shots of espresso. Like Stern needs a drop more of caffeine.
Tonight was not a bad night at all, although I was hoping we would be able to close shop early tonight. No such luck, just had to have people that like to drink and tip well come in late. Gotta hate when that happens; NOT!
Thanks to Ed and Jessie. Oh and K. And Chrissy. And Sutzer. And…. Ok no more, going to bed.
I will be at the bar tonight… and just not as patron. Working 4-close.
I got a new favorite CD of the moment. Picked up local musician Micah Walk’s self titled CD the other day when he was playing acoustic at Mojo’s. I have heard Micah many times, but sometimes in the bar you can’t really appreciate the music for what it is until you remove it from that element.
If I had a formula of what the CD sounded like it would be comparable to Micah Walk = (Cold Play - The Pop) + Jack Johnson^( Better vocals) * the format of a good Radio Head album.
I have the CD with him and the band, but he has also has released an acoustic album. He has a few tracks available online as well as a discography @ http://www.micahwalk.com/discography.htm
And of course his site is http://www.micahwalk.com/
He plays this Saturday with Basement Chemistry at Mojos. I’d be there, but I am working.
This is an office building I designed. All cedar siding. Should be going up late this fall. After this I have a club house / restaurant to design.
A weekend… that SternO would like to forget, or for the formost part when he passed out at my neighbor’s with hockey stick in tow and my neighbor’s dog Cotton all curled up with him. It was a cute sight.
The little bbq on Saturday was a HUGE success.
Once again, Ed and I reclaimed our title as ‘Best Duo (ok, except when Mike is working with one of us) Bartenders in Springfield.’ Ed and I made the best of the meazly-little crowd that was given to us. We showed the ladies what a bald and a guy with hair could do. Ed showed some belly. I used some of my best pickup lines:
You know, I have a private patio. You could come over and sunbath nude. And you look like you need to tan.
That one worked like butter on toast.
Sunday, I decided to be insane and do the Jim Edgar Panther Creek State Park mountain bike trail. A 3 hour, 17 mile ride. I kicked its ass.
Other than that? Is it Friday yet?
