Hey all. First off, a big thanks to Cindy for the write up. That was neat.
Came across a neat site called South Side Call Box. I dunno what exactly the full premise is, but it made for some interesting reading.
So, my car got broken into over the Christmas vacation. It was in my driveway! Ok…so I was too lazy to clean out my garage. Theres a lot of crap all over the place. What blows my mind is what they took. It appears that they just kinda broke it and grabbed a few things and rifled through my glove box. As far as I can tell, they missed:
3 mic cables
40 bucks cash (in my box)
the remote to the garage
My Gym Bag
A Cd of Matt Thigpen. Ok so its CD with a big Cowboy on it…any self respecting Teenager would pass that one up.
What they did take.
a box of Condoms. (ok this confuses me because….well…I bought them like two years ago and they have been kinda sitting in the Texas heat for 2 summers. What can I say, I was rather optimistic about a particular road trip. Nothing panned out, and all I have to show for it was a box of melted rubbers. Serves em right)
My CD case.
Dang! But lets just go through the Jewel cases and see what they took.
XTC - Skylarking (Great CD…dang…gotta rebuy it)
Parliaments Greatest hits ( again…gotta buy it)
This is Acid Jazz. ( I have regulated Acid Jazz to Computer work…its all mp3ified…fagidaboutit)
Time Out - Dave Brubeck Quartet - (DUDE!!!! I just bought it like a week before Fuck YOU)
Space Age Bachelor Pad Music - Esquivel (Chicks dig it…Gotta replace)
Its It - SugarCubes
Morning Wood - Rugburns (Where am I going to find that one….we used to open for them in 1991!)
Mommy Im Sorry - Rugburns (Again…one Asshole kid ruins it for me…the pain!)
Travelling without Moving - Jamiroquai (ahhhh…genius…frick…another rebuy)
Sly - Massive Attack
Repo Man Soundtrack (Ok this is the ONLY exception to my “no soundtrack” rule).
Best of Oingo Boingo
Dots and Loops - Stereolab ( dang )
Pizza Deliverance - Drive By Truckers (it was signed too…..fuckers!)
Django Rhienhart and Stephan Grapelli (just a bunch of old 1930s jazz…why?)
So…looking at that list…what kinda Plano misspending youth would even bother with any of that kinda stuff. Its all good. My only comfort is that maybe I helped to shape the listening habits of some fuckhead kid who owes me 150 bucks for my window.
anyway….to clean out a few more items on my too do list. Jd and I had a little email thing about music critics. I had a whole
rant done up, but erased the whole thing when I came across these little jems that covered it all pretty well.
