Day jobs are easier with brand new computers and the ability to take “look at me! I’m fourteen again!” self portraits with “comic book” effects. My last three posts have sucked. Sorry. Jokes that my mum forwarded me + funny stories from the internet + webcam self portraits = someone who shouldn’t be allowed web [...]
Time For Some Stories by Dave Secretary (There are a lot more of these. You should read them if you want to laugh aloud.) THIS IS SHORT BUT WORTH NOTING FOR MY OWN SAKE THE LITTLE LIBRARY IN MY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL (AYLMER ELEMENTARY) WAS LOCATED IN THE EAST WING, WHICH WAS THE NEWEST ADDITION TO [...]
A: A small lie.
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Fun. Energetic. Bouncy. For Prefix. It was so packed I couldn’t find John, who wrote it up for Prefix. I used to write about shows when I was a little’un, but I realised I’m rubbish at it (hence [...]
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } I hate my noisy pictures, so I’m playing around with Noise Ninja to celebrate Memorial Day. I just started, so please send advice.
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Hollywood recently got loose in Los Feliz. His owner had to wander the neighbourhood yelling “Hollywood!”, to which bemused locals yelled back “Los Feliz!”
Dizzee Rascal makes me homesick. (Shot for Prefix.)
The Echoplex video effect thing is fun to shoot. (For Prefix.)
Fun. Dark! But fun. Dark Meat members wandering around pre performance are easy to pick out even before they put their war paint on. Maybe I’ve been living in Los Angeles too long… (Who hasn’t?) Their big green bus parked outside made me want to stow away and split, once and for all. But then [...]
(Shot for Prefix.) Dour and lovely and in stockinged feet. Very foreign in this shiny land of eternal sunshine. Quite to my taste.
Hawaiian shirts look great accessorised with surgeons’ masks. Clinic are still wonderful. Shearwater have some lovely songs. (I downloaded Leviathan from their Myspace page. It makes good falling-asleep-on-the-bus-across-Los-Angeles-in-rush-hour music.) Dita Dimone was there. This site is currently top ranked for the search terms “hazmat porn”. I’m tired and can’t see straight. (Shot for Prefix.)
Lykke Li’s Myspace page lists her influences as “Late nights/early mornings. Jane Birkin with no top on.” I really liked her EP, and I really, really, really liked her live, but the topless Jane Birkin thing sealed the deal. Back when I had better hair, someone (in an entirely unexpected moment of temporary genius) said [...]
(Shot for Prefix.) “This song is about living with the wrong person, for an entire lifetime.” Oh, how I love those cheerful Scandinavians. Seriously, I really do.

(Shot for Prefix.) According to Flickr’s super duper map technology, The Troubadour is located “in Normal Triangle, West Hollywood”.

Sugar Hair Salon had Crystal Antlers, Bipolar Bear and Gods Gang play in their backyard the other weekend. There were cute dogs and yummy tamales, too. You should get your hair cut there. PS — I just played the Walter Meego song Girls, and now I think I’m going to have to play it again. [...]
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } Mmm, pretty lights… (For Prefix.)

.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } One of those books arrived years ago on my doorstep in London with a dedication in the front. I still have it, of course; everything else is very different now.
.flickr-yourcomment { } .flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; } .flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; } …And then Harmonetheus stole the secret of the mouth organ from the gods and gave it to the mortals.
