Another quick post because of lack of exciting stories, however I did work a wedding on my day off and made 250 bucks catering. It was tiring and had a sore back but it was worth the money and the delicious food we got to eat when not working. Here is a fun dance song.Buena Vista Social Club - Clocks (Coldplay)

Keep rockin the summer away.

Summer Camp

I'm up at camp, and the new staff seems awesome, no clicks as far as I can tell and no creepy counselors either. Good Job Doug! Lots of new folk very few returners. But everyone is meshing real well. Excited to get to know them better. No exciting stories yet, so I'll cut to the chase. Here is a classic from the Proclaimers, which you should really invest in, they are fun band with more than just 500 miles as great songs.

The Proclaimers-I'm On My Way

REM concert

Highlights:

Man in beer line with some ID complication kept saying "I'm just here to have a good time," thinking it would get him his beer. Ridiculous. Felt bad for the vendor she was cool.

Guy in front of us at one point:

"I don't see a single black person here." Completely out of nowhere, mildly offensive but humorous nonetheless.

2 Assholes, a guy and his douchelady, refused to sit down in front of the openers so 4 people sitting behind them had to move even though they were asked, they shouldve moved to seats that wouldnt block anyone. Pissed me off. One of the excuses I heard he said was "This isn't a symphony" as if symphonies are the only occasion to respect fellow attendees. RAWR.

All in all it was a really fun show. Nothing epic or special. but legit like fun, just good vibes and perfect weather. Here's a nice summer song I've been playing a lot in my head,

Stevie Ray Vaughn - Pride and Joy

P.s. The Live version of Must of Got Lost by J. Geils is AMAZING, Buy it seriously worth the 99 cents on itunes. Canned version is decent but the intro to live version is epic. Gotta represent MA. Woostah pride!

So I'm seeing R.E.M. with Modest Mouse and The National as openers tonight with my good friend Chris. So naturally you'd think I'd put up music by any of the three bands. But will I? Hell No! And I'm wicked tired so here's the music to remember right now and BUY! Save America with your Capitalism. First is Biz Markie cuz he is a classic Just A Friend - Biz Markie

Secondly this is by Walter Murphy, you might recognize the name because he does the music for Family Guy now after doing this way back when though this piece surprisingly appeared in an episode. But yeah He's part of the magic of Family Guy right along side Cherry Chevapravatdumrong. (Mentioned solely because of her extreme last name) it's real watch the credits/IMDb that shit. In 3 days time I leave for work and this blog may disappear or just be infrequent in it's posting.

Walter Murphy and the Big Apple Band - A Fifth of Beethoven Good Night.

ToTo!

All y'all eastcoasters probably don't know what GhostRiding the Whip is. First of all, don't try it unless your crazy and bored,  secondly don't do it donut style because it'll get you run over like the dumbass on YouTube. It's when you put your car/bus in neutral and dance outside of it as it goes along. It can be fun if done properly (i.e. in the rain up a slope while blasting TOTO!) because that was an amazingly fun night. No matter how soaked EVERYTHING got. I miss being at school with all my crazy friends. 10 Days to Camp. Excited. Very. Largely because I just need to meet new people in my life. ASAP.  We had a retirement party for my old Kindergarten teacher tonight and I realized how annoying pleasantries are to me. Like when you show up late for a party and walk down a line of people "Hey How Are You? Good." x 1000000. They are obviously going to give the same answer they gave to the last person you heard. And even if they weren't good, no one would actually say so. It's just pointless formalities , no one really wants to hear your latest tragedy right away, maybe later in a more real conversation possibly but agh. I'm so divided between wanting to be a hermit and needing social interaction no matter how stupid I find it. 1 week until r.e.m. avec Modest Mouse et Le National.

Toto - Africa

Been a while

Sorry it's been a few days since I've made a post. Here's a story leading to (one of?) the songs I am posting. I was in Harvard Sq. to meet Dov and Dom for lunch. It was great seeing them again. It will def be the last time I see Dov for a long time being all graduated and whatnot, and Dom is CA-ing off campus next year so it'll be hard to bother him. Then they left and I stopped by Urban Outfitters to raid the clearance section, nothing there worth my money. Went to Finagle a Bagel for my usual meal and saw an ex I haven't seen in ages walk past the window, did not engage would've been weird/dangerous. The milk I bought was best by June 1st. It was June 2nd. Ew. Anyways, down in the station whilst waiting for my bus back to Watertown, I had my headphones around my neck but full volume, and this jerkface mcgee asks me to turn it down because he was reading his book. We were in a public area and he wanted quiet? A BUS STATION! It pissed me off but I obliged and turned it down, it wasn't enough so he walked away. Then wound up talking to someone anyway. He was on my bus too, made an obvious point of sitting as far away as he could. RAWR, I was tempted to move closer to him just to show him what's what. If it was angry or offensive music, I'd be okay with it. But it was Sigur Ros. Sigur fuckin Ros. One of the most pleasant calming bands to listen to.

Sigur Ros - I Gaer

And this song I took the time to actually listen to the lyrics too and it cracked me up so here it is:

System of a Down - Bounce M4a

I made yet another trip to Newbury Comics since the bus back was going past it anyway. Picked up Marvel Civil War, pretty freaking good. Today I got Superman Red Son finally and DMZ #1. DMZ was really good. Red Son was pretty fantastic even a second time. Gotta finish yard work soon earn money for more. Need rest of DMZ, and Sandman if Josh Elias can't get it to me, along with all the other series he recommended.

Summer Heat

I've no exciting stories to tell. I've just been sweating away in my room, starving to death as sleep takes ages to come every night. So I've been doing a lot of reading, graphic novels, comics, a book, anything to pass the time. As well as my emulator and watching this show Reaper online. Decent show. The Watchmen by DC Comics is a great read, brings a lot of realism to super heroes and comic books, I suggest it to anyone. World War Z is as thorough and realistic as Zombie Survival Guide was, I'm plan to finish The Watchmen tonight and then move fully into WWZ. Anyways, the song for this entry is perhaps not the song I thought it was. I mean it is. But I heard a song on the radio in the car once while my dad was running into the liquor store right quick, and I tried to remember the artist and song but with my shoddy memory span it may have been a different song entirely, but I found this one in my search and I like it a lot, it's kinda summery ish but political? or just deep. So I hope y'all enjoy and spread the word of this Blog to yer friends so I actually have a purpose in posting this stuff up here.
