Ex-Trenchmouth drummer, current weekly funnyman Fred Armisen contributed to last night’s Tomorrow Show. Today I walked around town today, stopping at Sea Level to buy some half-priced albums before they close their doors. Tonight there was good home-cooking (or so I imagine, I ate a pizza while everyone else labored over the stove and oven) followed by an all-too-brief barbecue/party at a house in the Echo Park hills. Truly it was a good weekend. This is where I’d express dissatisfaction at tomorrow being Monday if I actually had a job…but I don’t. So I can talk about anything! Unfortunately, I have nothing to say. This week should be exciting, as I’m going to see several shows, party hard, and I guess I should review some of those albums I got in the mail two weeks ago… Eh, whatever. Here’s your mix tape.
RULES for uninitiated noobs: With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there will be themes that link all the songs together, other times I’ll just throw songs at a wall (not literally) and see what sticks. This week I’m helping you get bent. Although I do not condone drug use in any way, I will admit that these tunes will sound better if you are somewhat impaired. Did I say “impaired”? I meant “enlightened”. So please download these tunes and zone out however you choose. Stay far, far out. As always, these songs will be removed if desired by the band or those who represent them. Let me know and I will gladly comply. The goal of this endeavor, as always, is to pique your interest in these artists so you’ll support the artists and buy their albums.
