I worship raw blogs.
1. I like numbering things.
2. It was a busy weekend for a whole lot of us AP editors. If you read Tim's most recent blog entry, you'll know he was traversing up and down the Eastern seaboard working on his first-ever cover story for the magazine. As someone who's written two (Saosin and Against Me!), I can tell you they're an incredibly exciting, nerve-wracking experience, and I am thrilled that Tim is being inducted to our little cover-story fraternity (god, will you look at me, I sound like I'm some big shot -- I've only written two out of 250 or so, big deal).
3. Speaking of being thrilled, I'm thrilled for Rachel as she spent the weekend moving out of her apartment and into what looks to be a totally sweet house she and a friend are renting. I can't wait to go visit once the place is fully set up; the pictures alone made it look awesome. I'm even more thrilled Rachel didn't ask me to help her move this weekend, as I helped her move from apartment to apartment last year and good lord, I thought I was going to keel over and die from carrying so many boxes up three flights of stairs.
4. So instead of helping Rachel move, my girlfriend and I decided to party hard with Andrew W.K. at Ohio University (photos/video here). It was a free, outdoor show and the crowd was a bit sketchy at times, but we definitely enjoyed ourselves. I mean, look at this photo -- how could you not pledge allegiance to the United States of Partying?
5. Here's something random: Twice tonight I saw a Ford commercial featuring Toby Keith with the background music being none other than Angels & Airwaves' "The Adventure." While the musical mingling was strange enough as it is, I wonder what Tom DeLonge -- an outspoken liberal who went so far as to publicly endorse John Kerry in 2004 -- thinks about his music being used as the background for Toby Keith -- a Red-Stater if there ever was one -- to shill for trucks.
(I won't get too political on this blog very often; I just think it's an interesting use of music that I bet Tom would be bummed out on. Or maybe not -- you gotta pay the bills somehow, right?)
6. Things I'm currently into:

6. Things I'm currently into:
- My Morning Jacket's Evil Urges (how have I slept on this band for so long?)
- The Vinyl Collective podcast (download/subscribe)
- TodaysBigThing.com (a funny video a day keeps the doctor away, I hope...)
- Cooking breakfast (who knew I was able to fry bacon and scramble eggs by myself? It only took me 26 years to realize it)
- Tom Gabel's blog (I've interviewed him at least five times, and I still don't think I've cracked the surface of who he is -- maybe this will help)

a friend of mine was at that andrew wk show and he said it was crazy. people jumping off the stage and getting tackled.
Yeah, there was one security guard and he definitely fell into the "overzealous" category. Dude was choking people out *onstage* while they were trying to stage dive, and Andrew WK never stopped or anything. I'm actually really disappointed in him as a performer for letting his crowd be manhandled like that.
my goodness you must have been in a deep sleep if youve just gotten into mmj
being from louisville their home town its pretty much chaos today going into earxtacy
(only the greatest independent record store ever) to get my preordered cd. they are probably the greatest band weve ever had come out of louisville
but i recommend you listen to their live cd Okonokos its one of the best live albums.
Also right now im digging the Klaxons im usually not into the whole spacey rock but they remind me a lot of MGMT who i am also loving at the moment
MMJ, the best band to EVER come out of Louisville??? Oh man, you need to familiarize yourself with Slint and Elliott, pronto.
ok ok im sorry i do love elliott,
slint not so much but elliott is up there a close second you could say but i stand by what i said they are the best!
