im actually sorta afraid to leave my house for the next couple days for fear of run-ins with crazed last minute shoppers (and crazed last minute shoppers driving like crazed last minute shoppers on the roads). plus, theres the overwhelming sense of guilt i feel when i walk by one of those salvation army bellringer types and dont drop anything into their little red buckets, even tho i have already given on a number of occasions earlier in the month. (bellringer just reminded me of those tasty red drinks at the wayside....no wonder i got fat freshman year, those things were huge and packed full of sugar) plus its pouring rain outside. maybe im just looking for a reason to justify not going to the gym. i guess if im staying in i could get a head start on packing at least. or i could sit on the couch watching seinfeld reruns all day (happy festivus tomorrow, btw). gotta soak up these last couple weeks of unemployment joy while they last. pretty soon it's gonna be "miss miller, can i go to the bathroom" and "miss miller, i dont wanna sit in my desk and behave when instead i can make your life a living hell."
this video was taken from a recent performance rob gave at the offices of filter magazine. he did 7 songs and they can all be found here. i barely recognized this one when it first started. its nice to see he's working some other songs into the mix.
this video is of a choir performing coldplay's "fix you". what makes it special? the choir, called young@heart, is made up of senior citizens ages 73-92. i love it.
this is taken from part of a long rambling, yet entertaining j.a. myspace bulletin earlier today:
This ones for greg dulli cause now I'm in the twilight singers and we're playing jimi kimmel live on the 3rd
I quit cocaine so he let me join
Fuckin see what happens when you fly straight. Then we gonna make a
whole record with that german bastard named mathias. . I'm reallY
excited to rock with mark lannegan and to me a record with his voice
mine and dullis should be called Lady's Choice. I think I'm gonna sing
almost exclusively in my pimp falsetto as heard here on a track called
Slave
Tell all yer friends
There's a new kinda monkey in charge
Love lights red and blue
This one flies straight
From my heart to you
Ps
I got a new hat
Its dark green fedora
100 percent genuine velour
I just looked inside it
It says
World class quality
That just about sums it up
Pps
We can't help it
The spirit
Being wwhat it is
So vast and electric
So big and beautiful
Even as she breathes in my ear
Even as she sings so clear
I just gotta give it back
Cause how could I hold it
And why
Oh why (let me be a poet for a second)
Would I want to
When its all yers to have
All of it
It was made thru u to me
And my brothers and sisters came in like stars around a sun so epic
Who would wanna run
Not me when I see his light
Not me when I am his light
And yes I am intense
But also light as a feather
In fact
You could blow me away with a kiss
So here's one
From me to you
From us to you
Lack a vision
Blinded by love
Blinded by love
Lack a vision
We had to give it too
With love
Of course
