genuinely bummed out about this

davy jones dead at 66.




it doesn't make me sad very often when a celebrity dies but he meant so much to me a a kid.
when i was in first grade i woke up early before school every morning because there would be two episides of the monkees reruns on.one morning my dad caught me running up to the tv and kissing it when the end credits were on and it was davy's face.my very first childhood crush was either davy or the fonz from happy days.i was going to marry davy.naturally my 5 year old mind couldn't rationalize that 1-this was a grown man,he was like prince charming for cryin out loud! and 2-the show was originally aired at least 25 years prior to my watching it.
i sort of think my childhood crush on davy has a little something to do with why i wind up dating so many musicians or why i have a thing for british accents as an adult.and if i'm not mistaken the monkees greatest hits was the first record i ever owned.

these are two of my absolute favorite monkees songs.

letting the days go by

taco tuesday: this is hardshell

totally killin it!

the kills doing the velvet underground.

not fade away

i can relate

i'm so bad at hiding my reactions to people.i can't help it.sometimes i just have to walk away so i don't seem like a jerk.

insomnia strikes again

i'm guessing she doesn't have a nut allergy

what's the first thing that pops out to you in this picture?

and this is when you need to take my cellphone away

music for late night listening

i randomly found this band on youtube.most of their music is weirdly dark,eerie and haunting but beautiful at the same time.

i imagine this is what it'd sound like if mercury rev and sigur ros teamed up to compose a soundtrack for a david lynch movie.

endless anecdotes for all my friends to enjoy

we have at least 3 things in common:wear a lot of black,play guitar, and apparently write lists

johnny cash would have been 80 today

duckie's posting flyers around the neighborhood

i give this review 5 stars

a very important public service announcement

i'm going to live a very long life.

before the invention of pocket calculators

kraftwerk doing some super heavy sabbath style psych metal.

the dregs of society

my friends

i just read somewhere that it's national eating disorder awareness week

fluff piece

you find some strange things on the internet when you aren't even trying.



i can't even imagine trying to wash that much fluffernutter out of my hair.

thurston thursday

we're gonna have a party

my life is turning out to be one long episode of seinfeld

if i get a perm my transformation into becoming elaine just might be complete

special agent cooper takes the day off

a mutual addiction

i think this is really all anybody wants,isn't it?

pizza toss

king monkey

this is my favorite ian brown solo song.soooo freaking good.pretty strange video too.



i actually forgot he was in a harry potter movie.

i remember when i saw the prisoner of azkaban i yelled out loud "hey wait,that's...!" but it happened so quickly i wasn't even sure.

she's over-bored and self assured

kathleen hanna graffitied about kurt cobain smelling like deodorant and pretty much changed music history.



he would have been 45 today had he lived. it sort of blows my mind (no pun intended).to say that nirvana's music impacted my life would be a huge understatement.it caused me to seek out the alternatives to what was on the radio at the time.it definitely empowered me to dig deep for quality rather than be force fed whatever garbage was being churned out and shoved in my face.it allowed me to fall in love with a lot of what i listen to today so for that i am thankful.

i hold out but there's no way of being what i want to be

still obsessed with this song. for maximum eargasm listen to this song on headphones at max level.

the guitars are dreamy and liz fraser just adds a whole nother level to the layers.

personally, i prefer "you are soooo good looking"

ray winstone is so fucking cool

this is one of my top five favorite movies of all time and these are some of my favorite scenes.the first one really makes me harken back to being 15 and going to punk shows-just all the energy and excitement you feel.seeing a band play so raw and refreshing and making you feel alive.i wish going to more shows now felt like this.


and ray winstone was kind of a babe.

(and yes that's paul simonen from the clash and steve jones and paul cook from the sex pistols playing with him)

i wish i were having brunch right now

i hope that fact isn't true

she turns 44 today.

just the fax,ma'am

answer to yourself

the answer is pizza.

i know a trick or two

i told you they're evil

karate rap

pettibon

valentine with cheese

what's this shit called love?

i hope you find the droid you're looking for

valentine from the sewer

i can't imagine telling someone i like them more than pizza-that'd be pretty serious,like engagement serious.

will you be my bloody valentine?

i would buy these and give them out to friends

and it's complicated

you're my cherry pie

you know,there's only one problem with you:you're perfect

a message from hallmark

pimpin ain't easy but if you're sellin it,it's allright

it's robbie williams's birthday,i gotta admit he's a guilty pleasure that i don't honestly feel all that guilty about.kinda like spice girls.soooo cheesy but so good and tongue in cheek at the same time.

this video is the BEST! i'm kind of obsessed with it.i feel the need to do this song for karaoke some day.

he's right you know

"you're touching my soup can,buddy!"

my friend the duke hipped me to this rollins vs. nardwuar video.
it's informative and really,really fucking funny.

"i want to change things for the better, just like everybody else"

henry rollins is 51 today.



coincidentally i just finished watching season two of sons of anarchy a couple days ago-it was so strange to see him as a white supremacist knowing what kind of person he is in real life and what he stands for.talk about the opposite of typecasting!

dunceteria

be careful not to pick a prick

antisocialist party

sometimes i feel obligated to go to things and spend time with people i don't particularly like when really all i want to do is lay in bed with blankets over my head.

just say it the way it seems
