so, i've been gone and busy. which is why i haven't updated.
i just moved to hollywood proper, and i finally got a new job. yeah, i work at amoeba. no, i can't get you cool shit for cheap. unless i like you. which i probably don't. whatever.
i've been spending all my money on music, nothing new there. seriously. lucky my new place is a hovel that allows me to afford such luxuries.
on another note, i'm bummed that sea level is closing. fuck echo park and the silverlake scene, btw.
how stoked am i that queens of the stone age are playing with eagles of death metal and the duke spirit? jesus christ, it's like a train of multiple orgasms. i'll tell you: REALLY FUCKING STOKED.
more later.

i'm not crying, it's just been raining... on my face
lately this blog has been little more than me talking about lamely funny movies and east indian interpretations of popular singers and bands. i realize this is totally lame and probably only entertaining to me and maybe a few of my good friends. all 2 of them.
so, to break the stride, i've decided to bring it all back home by... posting about this awesome tv show i just saw: flight of the conchords.
yeah, seriously. but it's different this time! i swear. this one is actually about "the trials and tribulations of a two-man, New Zealand digi-folk band as they make their way in New York City." see? it's about music! kinda. whatever. i've got nothin' new to say. everyone knows i'm only listening to bob dylan right now, anyway.
as most of you (and by most, i mean a select few) know, i lived in new zealand in 2004 and did a bunch of cool shit. while there, i developed a great love for new zealand bands, films and culture in general.
so when i heard about the new hbo show "flight of the conchords" that stars jemaine clement and bret mckenzie, two new zealand "celebs" that i came to know and love during my stay down under, i naturally had to tune in and see if down was the new up. check it out:
binary solo! be sure to check out the full length episode here. it premieres june 17th. anyone got hbo and wanna tune in and invite me over?
and to those wondering about my futurama adventure, unfortunately, i can't talk about it, as i was sworn to secrecy by fucks, er, i mean fox since the last of the episodes won't be airing until 2009. all i can say is matt groening, you rule.
and yes, billy west, you and your voicing talents did contribute to a large portion of the reason why i turned out to be a completely corrupted product of the 90s. thanks again, dude!

i found this a while back and posted it on a few friends' blogs last year... i wanted to share it with all (3) of you who are reading this.
also, if you haven't seen the "indian thriller," please, please, please watch the following:
this really isn't a far cry from the original. i mean, c'mon. let's be honest, here.

good news, everyone!
as previously mentioned, friday i went to the autolux/deerhoof show at the natural history museum in downtown la.
there, we spotted everyone from that one dude in nin to karen o of the yeah yeah yeahs to vincent gallo. and of course, the usual "hip" crowd of silverlake and echo park bohemian transients. museum + hyped indie rock bands = pretentious artistic types galore.
the show very different from their performance at the glass house in pomona a few weeks ago. this set was more along the lines of "ethereal aurual ambience" sprinkled with some new takes that they seemed to be experimenting with (hint: light on the vocals). eugene closed the show with "thanks for spending the past 45 minutes with us underwater." if you weren't there, you missed out! oh yeah, and to the dude who was recording the set with a 4-track... post that shit, already!
tonight i'm gonna go check out the burning brides kick off their month-long residency at the echo. it's free every monday in june starting at 9p so do yourself a favor and go. also, make sure you pick up their new album "hang love" out on june 19th when you're out grabbing the new white stripes cd "icky thump." check it ouuuuuut.
burning brides live in tex-ass on 03.26.05:
for those of you out of the indie-music loop, you may have heard/played the burning brides song "heart full of black" at some point on guitar hero. ...yeah. that's all i'm gonna say about that.
moving on... i've been watching futurama on dvd again. that show was amazing, why the hell was it ever cancelled? here's a clip from the episode "bendin' in the wind" (fuck yeah! dylan reference!).
tomorrow i get to go sit in on a cast reading for futurama. my friend joe matt knows the show's creators david x. cohen and matt groening pretty well, so he invited me to go along with him.
this goes without saying: my friends fucking RULE.

knock knock knockin' on heaven's door...
usually, i wouldn't post about a movie unless it had to do with music or some shit (check out the new anton corbijn film "control" about joy division frontman ian curtis, for starters) or unless it was pretty fuckin' rad. but this is my god damn blog and i'm going to do whatever the fuck i want because no one is reading this shit anyway.
knocked up, judd apatow's latest blend of "comedic wit" and "heartfelt reality," isn't really either of the above forementioned things. it's good, though, and worth your money, with the exception of those graphic "the miracle of birth" shots. fuck dude, no one wants to see that shit! at least not me. whatever, the rest of the time it's pretty fuckin' funny.
check out this clip:
other highlights include a scene where actor paul rudd's character scores some 'shrooms from "a roadie for the black crowes." laced with musical references and hilarious canadian weed jokes, it's worth watching. plus, the dude from "undeclared" is in it and he's wearing a nin shirt in one of the scenes that i happen to also own. i always thought he was kinda cute in the super dweeby way, so his wardrobe stylist person/whatever gets props for that. fuck you, yeah, i still like and listen to nine inch nails.
and here's the trailer in cased you missed it:
annnnyywaaayyyyy, tonight i'm gonna go see autolux and deerhoof perform at the natural history museum downtown. it's gonna be rad. then i'll prolly hit up the raveonettes show at spaceland afterwards, if there's still time. if i miss it, there's always a chance to catch 'em when they play at the echo on june 8.
and yeah, surprise! i didn't post about dylan, but i still had to fit him in somehow... if you didn't catch the title of this post. oh yeah, and if you're ever in silverlake/los feliz check out the 4100 bar right at sunset junction.... there's an awesome jukebox selection with everything from sonic youth to guns 'n roses to dylan! fuckkkk yeahhhh!
