Thanks.

I fell way behind, would someone send me a link?

Downloads or streaming works.

Nice shoes...

Thanks, you too.

Tom Waits - Tom Traubert's Blues

I've been digging that Rain Dogs and Bone Machine type Tom Waits stuff a lot more lately, but that live performance (without prominent strings) really shows what we lost when he gave up the jazz.

What about cumin in the brandy?

Congrats, Metanoia.

I'm back from Chicago.

From what I vaguely know, the economy in England ain't great either.

But wait for the English types to answer.

I'm in Chicago right now.

Hey socialists/anarchists.

Guess whose grave I was at?

Emma Goldman's.

Nearby was a monument for the Haymarket Martyrs.

Pretty amazing.

Thank you for reposting what I had posted Apathy.

Yeah, it's completely anti-racist.

The song is entirely about how the white working class should be united like the black working class was in Brixton at the time.

And thanks.

The CD alarm clock I ordered came, tomorrow I can get up to Joe Strummer screaming "WHIIIIITE RIOT, I WANNER RIOT, WHITE RIOT AROUN' THE WORLD" instead of an annoying buzz or radio.

And tomorrow I'm catching an 0830 flight to Chicago, where I'll stay with my grandparents for a few days.

Looks really good, Atticus.

Isn't Sake really expensive for what's basically a rice lager?

The url does have "bondage" in it.

Each of the individual comic pics is of the highest quality - none

of those compressed blurry pics with hard to make out text you

see elsewhere. The story has been translated into english also.

Oh thank god I HATE it when I can't read the text in my sadomasochistic fairy porn.

I kinda associate him with Kermit the Frog I don't see what there is to be scared of

I could scan it for you if you can't find it, but the good pages are stained.

Thanks, Bili. Haven't seen you around.

So you have lots of fathers?

Dead ones too, what a shame

I'm not the only one who can't write or work without some ambient (Cocteau Twins, Slowdive, jazz) in the background, right?

Agreed

Dammit I was just listening to The Firstborn Is Dead and I had to turn it off because I started thinking about Nick Cave picking up his daughter from soccer practice and wearing sweatpants.

I got a bunch of Hank Williams records, they're really incredible stuff. This is a man who doesn't know anything technical about singing, probably can hardly read, and he writes some of the greatest

Jeans are great when they're cheap, the only problem is that they don't go good with overcoats and fedoras, which I wear in the winter. Trousers aren't durable enough though.

Cleaned out all the old shit out of my room.

Books that I don't want (Piers Anthony, Orson Scott Card, Asimov, etc) had been accumulating in my room since I was 5, donated them all. Old socks and shirts and crap were all over my floor, threw them all away. Got rid of all the electronics (old phones, broken stereos, gamecube) I never use. Used three bookshelfs to house all my books, going to sort them soon.

Bought some posters, I'm sixteen, I should have a room I like.

Casablanca, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Nighthawks.

They're all a few feet big. I've also got this London Calling poster and this great old ripped one of the Clash performing live, and this great framed one of young (50s) Elvis sullenly looking at a book with the letters "READ" in big serif letters and below that "SUPPORT AMERICA'S LIBRARIES". I might also get a small TV and dvd player since I watch a lot of movies.

Came out to around 45 dollars.

Also getting a good high quality stereo.

Yeah what the hell is with the low quality writing on the Transformers movie.

The Sky Over Berlin/Wings of Desire

Arty German movie, good performances by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds and Crime and the City Solution, would watch again.

I wish my pants weren't baggy, but you can't find slim fit jeans for people who are 5'7 and 115 pounds in my price range, which is like 10 bucks.

It's what hitchhikers used to have on their cardboard signs when there were hitchhikers.

They were going to get to Seattle or Denver or Salt Lake City or die trying.

No we can't, my sig is just barely 3 lines.
