Heavy Rotation

  • The Clientele -

    The Clientele: God Save the Clientele
    I love this record with its rich pop melodies and guitar feedback. Might be a little mellow for the kids today, but give it a listen on Sunday morning while having your coffee and reading the paper.

  • The National -

    The National: Boxer
    These indie darlings are well worth a listen to.

  • Ted Leo and the Pharmacists -

    Ted Leo and the Pharmacists: Living With the Living
    Hmmm...only way to describe it is Black Flag meets UB40.

  • Ryan Adams -

    Ryan Adams: Easy Tiger
    The alt-country king returns with something fantastic. This is one of my favorite records of 2007.

  • Bob Dylan -

    Bob Dylan: Blood On the Tracks
    I was cleaning out my CDs and forgot that I had this. I could listen to "Tangled Up in Blue" all day. I think this might be my favorite Dylan album.

  • Tegan and Sara -

    Tegan and Sara: The Con
    Go get this record. Do not delay. Sleater Kinney I'm over you.

  • Josh Rouse -

    Josh Rouse: Subtitulo
    Humor me. Just go get it. Give a listen to "Given' It Up" and you will thank me.

  • The Sea and Cake -

    The Sea and Cake: Everybody
    These guys are awesome. I can't decide who is dreamier Sam Prekop or Archer Prewitt. If you are looking for something to listen to this summer, this is it.

  • Stephen Malkmus -

    Stephen Malkmus: Pig Lib
    How can you not love the smart ass lead singer from Pavement? "Vanessa From Queens" is my favorite tune on this whole album. This album is filled with hypnotic melodies and sarcastic lyrics. Fans of Pavement will not be disappointed.

  • Dinosaur Jr. -

    Dinosaur Jr.: Beyond
    J Mascis is back. If you are a fan of Green Mind you will love this record.

  • Marvin Gaye -

    Marvin Gaye: What's Going on
    I love this record from start to finish. With lyrics about drug abuse, poverty, and the Vietnam War, this album was an immediate sensation and has endured as a classic of early-1970s soul. Get the remastered version released in 2002.

  • Urge Overkill - Urge Overkill

    Urge Overkill
    Urge Overkill: Saturation
    An awesome Chicago Band from the early 90's. I used to go see these guys all of the time at Metro, Empty Bottle, and Double Door. These guys played all over the city for a year straight. Check out "Sister Havana" and "Back on Me".

  • The Shins -

    The Shins: Wincing the Night Away
    GO GET THIS NOW...The Shins will change your life!

  • Josh Rouse -

    Josh Rouse: Nashville
    Just simple dreamy lyrics- I love sensitive boy rock!!!! I put his songs on mix tapes for girls I am trying to woo.

  • Cat Power -

    Cat Power: The Greatest
    Some people think Chan Marshall is a mess- I find her dreamy. Go get this record listen to it, then listen to Dusty Springfield, and then finish the evening off with a good belt of whiskey. Call me in the morning and we'll talk.

  • The Hold Steady -

    The Hold Steady: Boys & Girls of America
    Paste rated this album #2 in their best of 2006. I gave them a listen off of that review and let me tell you they rock. What I dig most about them is the fact they sound like a drunken Springsteen. This album is loaded with a ton of heavy guitar riffs and lyrics you can't understand. RUN DON'T WALK to your nearest record store and pick this bad oscar up.

Donutgate

1971 My friends the jelly donut has turned on me.  It wasn't pretty.  It serves me right.  Do I really need a jelly donut?  NO! I was attempting to eat the donut when things went horribly wrong.

  • It all started out innocently enough.  I took the donut and gingerly tried to eat it while watching the market.
  • Chrissy starts to tease me- I won't go into graphic detail.
  • The donut explodes all over me.
  • I ever the lady, proceed to yell "Fuck This" and throw said donut over the wall.  The jelly was suspended in mid air.  It was very Matrix like.
  • The jelly proceeds to go all over me -trading jacket, shirt, hair,and Blanco.  Poor Blanco he was just in the middle of it all.

I'm now very sticky and the dead jelly donut is lying helpless on the floor.  I feel pretty oh so pretty.  I'm thinking about just staying like this for the rest of the evening. 

This day will go down in history as the day I lost a battle with a jelly donut.  The only advice I can give you is watch your back they can turn on you when you least expect it. 

I will no longer be eating jelly donuts.

This Made It All Worth It

Whataburger For those of you familiar with this chain you will agree with me this is the best breakfast in town.  Whataburger is my favorite thing about Texas.  The HOT B.O.B (breakfast on a bun) is my favorite breakfast meal of all time.  It puts the Golden Arches to shame. They can jam their Sausage McMuffin with egg up their ass.  The HOT B.O.B consists of an egg, sausage patty, and cheese all gingerly placed on a hamburger bun-delicious.  BT and I ate several HOT B.O.Bs while on our adventure.  He was a bit miffed when he picked me up from the airport because we were running out of time for one- yet another reason to never fly out of La Guardia.  All he said when I got in the car was "We are about to have a HOT B.O.B crisis-Hurry up!"

If you have to go out west and you see a Whataburger I highly recommend you stop for breakfast-you won't be disappointed.
