Word on the street is...
The VUE & Friends

wants your body bad.

We're just so darn cute!

We know you want us too.

deanna came over today, which was cool cause I had not seen her in a good long time. we did shit, watched shit, played shit, ate shit, drank shit, and kinda talked about shit too. oh and we took pictures of shit and shit.

I think I saw the sweetest thing ever tonight and I thank the otherworld for giving me my mountain fellas.

wow what a terrible fucking night/life.

oh man, the lameass, girl's jeans wearing bastard from "the pattern", who baught lookout records in order to sign lameass bands like pretty girls make graves, and ted leo & the pharmecists, has started a hobby of putting classic punk rock albums out of print. it started with things like blatz, filth, neurosis, and go sailor, ya'know not suprising as these bands have smaller followings but I logged onto their website last night, actually cause I wanted to get the green day album 'kerplunk', because it's been missing for several years and I discovered that added to the list of bands who's entire lookout discography's are now out of print are, screeching weasel, the queers, green day, and FUCKING OPERATION IVY! that is too fucking crazy, this guy needs to be assasinated. LOOKOUT #001 IS FUCKING OUT OF PRINT! who in the world does not know operation ivy? is there one 13 year old male or female in the universe who would not fall in love with that album on the first listen? I doubt it. this fucking hipster prick is killing my fucking childhood and it is FUCKING PISSING ME OFF. I wanna go see the pattern just so I can kick his wank job ass. what a fucking pussy. I will find revenge. I wanna squirt that guy with a watergun full of lsd, maybe that would learn him. fucking christ signing phish would be about a thousand times more punk rock than turning lookout into a typical major label-wannabe, hipster-label which focuses on giving shitty bands with a trendy look exactly 3 seconds of fame. a word of advice. if you only get into a band for a couple of weeks it means they aren't much of a band. if you find yourself doing this repeatedly it means that you are part of the problem. don't keep up with the jones', make fun of them, or try to teach them how to live their fucking lives for real. so called indie music is big business these days and generally seems to sound overproduced, and forgettable. also lyrics have been very lacking lately. has anybody else noticed? if EVERYONE is a hipster now than what the fuck is a hipster? c'mon america. wake up. THEY FUCKING TRICKED YOU. don't be just like the generation x classic rockers that were somehow tricked into rocking lenny kravitz. fuck it alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.

weirdness. today began with a crazy dream in color. my second dream which involves me somehow causing the apocolpse which is strange because this really is not a fear of mine. I've been dreaming in color lately. anyway, I quickly discovered that I am the recipient of a whole bunch of good carma. why I do not know. it started when there was a redbull truck at school giving out free redbull! which was of course, just what I needed to get rid of my uncomfortable achy feeling. then this kid brian mccullah who is permanently tripping walked up to me and was like "kevin meade! what's up man, do you want a cigarette?" I replied "well I actually don't have enough to get through the day so if you really wanna give me one I will gladly accept it", so he did and then this girl was like "have some rollies", so she gave me a few of those, and then this other kid was like "here do you want a clove?", and then mccullah feeling outdone gave me yet another cigarette, so I got loaded up. also I'm here from 11 am today until 10 pm, and I forgot to borrow money for food. I thought it would be ok because they usually give out free food all afternoon on mondays. I dunno why, but I ran into my friend jess when I was looking for it and she insisted on buying me lunch, so now I am full. very weird is it not? also I met a nice girl with cool tattoos who likes the velvet underground and she claims that she is going to call me and harass me which I would not object to. before I forget her name was alanah sp? I also met this kid that likes awsome rock n' roll and plays the upright bass. and the queers are playing the friday after next and the supersuckers are playing with social distortion on friday the 13th, which is the day after pats birthday. a good day, I'm thinking, to be unsober. horrible terribles practice tommorrow wooooooooo.

gap inc. is super hip but I'm not

the best song on the gap "in store play" cd is either the gin blossoms one about getting chased by cops or the jesus and mary chain one that the pixies covered... the worst song by far I just found out is ecco & the bunnymen("lips like sugaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar sugar keepsakes"). I also learned to hate "what I like about you", but the gin blossoms are just one of those hardcore punk rock bands that you can't get tired of. the other reason I am not hip is because I just checked out the band that thurston moore told me to check out and I think that they suck a lot. in fact they sound like they should be on the gap "in-store play" cd. basically my personal opinion of the silver apples is that they sound like a boring uber pretentious version of suicide but with flutes. I'll take my minimalistic psycho-babble without the impressive world music influence thank you. I am thinking about mailing thurston one of the silver apples that we sell at pier one though. funny I wonder what the fuck your're supposed to do with those things anyway. me and danielle watched suburbia last night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooohoooooooooo!!!!!!!!! Also danielle got this captain beefheart dvd which is pretty sweet "basically captain beefheart was a lover of the blues, he loved the blues, he loved howlin wolf, but he had to make the sound his own.... ya'know he had to take your typical twelve bar blues and add his own touch, basically he had to make it his own. it wasn't enough for him to just sing the blues..... HE HAD TO MAKE IT HIS OWN"......... and there you have a complete summary of the dvd, but it also has some ill live footage. me and danielle and pat went to the brink of oblivion last week. it was great. I wanna go back. I woke up the next day having lost the full body ache I'd been suffering from for like six months, but it was back the next day. basically I wanna be well. I recently found out that bessie smith rocks the shit out of me and I think she's much better than robert smith or patty smith, both of whom ofcourse are better than the smiths themselves, but none of whom can even come close to the melodic, rhythmic, and lyrical genius of the one and only, the angry and lonely, the drunk and dissorderly musical virtuosity and funk-raggai-jazz enthusiasm of the most influential band of all time, the band sooooooo incredibly psychedelic that the lead singer was a closeted homo-sexual who liked to cut himself and shoot heroin, and was often seen begging for somebody to give him a beer, the band that attracted legions of jazz purists and fusionists alike, the band that howlin wolf would have loved to join, the band that made jim morrison look like doctor suse(not that that would be very difficult), the band that every hipster wishes they knew about, the one sonic youth influence they will never even begin to live up to, a band so creative that NYU students think they're "alright", well maybe I wouldm't go THAT far. THE GERMS!
