hipster time

Promotional band gimmicks (battles of the bands, "festivals" you pay to sign up for, this emergenza crap) are a waste of time. For everyone involved. Especially the people who come to the shows.

Songs I wish I had written:

"Stuck Between Stations" - The Hold Steady
"Clash City Rockers" - The Clash
"Wouldn't It Be Nice" - The Beach Boys

And so on.

I got another copy of Pet Sounds to replace the one I broke. The old one had the original mono record, plus a dumb stereo mix on it from the 60's, but this new one has a stereo mix from 1997 that sounds really good. I am impressed. It also came with a DVD, so everything together justified the price of $19.99.

I also got me some Demon Days. Looking forward to checking that out.
