Check out their cover of "I Got You Babe," it totally rocks

t-minus 3 weeks...

...until I graduate from high school! (knock on wood) Freedom is looming! But all I can think about is eating hot dogs and going in as many kayaks as possible.

yeah

pump up the volume

Pump up the Volume is a fucking great movie. You'd think from the title that it would be some sappy romantic comedy starring Christian Slater, but instead it is a film that inspires rebellion and individuality, starring Christian Slater. It's the kind of movie that makes you want to start a pirate radio show in your basement and talk hard.

OH GOD SWINE FLU!!11!!ONE

I saw Disney's Earth today, and I almost cried it was so beautiful. They basically snatched footage from either Blue Planet or Planet Earth and had James Earl Jones narrate it. Excellent.

Ugh, all I want to do is listen to Joan Jett and Johnny Thunders and Bad Brains and secretly listen to Jailbreak and pretend I am listening to the aforementioned artists. And hey, too bad I wasn't productive at all this weekend, no sequence of events in my mind at all. I am too bored, and I have a stack of twelve books I should be reading for my own well being. All I want to do is sew some fucking balloons on my shirts and sit outside all day.

Band practice today ruled, but it kind of sucks that our first gig has to be at school, not some dank basement with mold and rats and secret tunnels. That would be way more badass than being sandwiched between various high school bands that all write original songs about love had and love lost. Give me a break.

queens of noise

I have been eating all day long and I'm not even full, and I had this dream where I could animorph into a deer and the cops had a problem with that and they chased me through the whole school. Terrifying. I can't even begin to decipher that shit.

caUSE Co-MOTION! - It's Time!

With all the songs being under two minutes, these guys sound like a less tropical Brooklyn Abe Vigoda, and I love every inch of it. They're cover of "Falling Again" by the Marine Girls rules so much, and makes it even more obvious that the early 80s lo-fi girl group were a major influence.

Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures

Fucking Joy Division, that's all I can say, and that's all I have to say.

The Beatles - Hey Jude

I have been listening record to this a lot lately. This has only been released on vinyl, but the songs can now be found on either A Hard Day's Night or Past Masters Vol. 2. I think the main reason I have been listening to this so much is because I'll put it on at work, but because it was released in stereo but not mono, and our record player can't handle stereo, only half the parts come through in the weirdest way, and it feels like I'm listening to all these songs for the first time. All of the songs sound either stripped down or mixed differently, and it gives me the opportunity to hear drum parts or harmonies that are often in the background. Usually I find these songs overplayed and prefer not to listen to them, but these versions are so different that they become personal to the record player and I am the only one that gets to experience it. If you haven't been influenced by the Beatles then you've spent your whole life listening to Black Sabbath, and there isn't anything wrong with that.

Claire's the name, being seventeen and a half is the game.

Here's a mix, it's a bit long

And okay, I have this weird obsession with Bruce Springsteen right now, not like his music, but I want to silk screen his face all over my clothes or something. He used to be such a dime before the soulpatch.
