Love this music---don't know if I'm going to buy it. Wish it was cheaper---damn.

Attend this and get a Third Man Records Parmount 78 http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2013/11/third_man_relea.html

Thanks.

I'm sure it has as much staying power as the film itself.

I'm done with Sacred Bones limited pressings. It's just wallpaper wrapped around the jacket with a wax seal. If it was more varied---maybe colored vinyl or a different jacket---I might still be in.

I thought FUZZ was okay. I definitely like Ty Segall live. The FUZZ stuff tended to become monotonous after a while---I split before the encore.

I'm guessing that it isn't showing at festivals---that has already taken place?

Just kind of skimmed through the posts so I don't know if these were mentioned or not. I watch a lot of documentaries. Capturing the Friedmans Dig! The Imposter Tarnation The Devil and Daniel Johnston You're Gonna Miss Me The Thin Blue Line Roger & Me Hoop Dreams The Tillman Story Shut Up Little Man Grey Gardens Dogtown and Z-Boys Following Sean Anvil: The Story of Anvil Crumb

Galaxie 500 - On Fire

Did anyone get tattooed? I was there and it didn't look like it was too difficult in terms of having to wait. I didn't pull the trigger because I don't really have/love small tattoos and the only place they would ink the tattoo is on your arm. I really thought about the panther head on my wrist---maybe tomorrow.

I will be there on Friday around 2:30---not sure about Saturday. I'm sure that you have to get there earlier to score a tattoo.

Show yr ribs.

Part of Brooklyn Vegan's CMJ showcase---venue tbd. Not sure about it being in Williamsburg. That's where they have been in the past but the venue they normally use is being remodeled.

More work last night---not quite finished

Nice. Three Kings is just a few blocks away from me. Guys from Three Kings will be doing tattoos for free in Williamsburg on Friday and Saturday.

I think I would have left it alone. Jesus and chicken > Tom Hank's and Cast Away.

After more than ten years, I think I'm starting to like the G. That fucker used to break my heart---now, we get along swell.

Currently in a fwb situation. So far, soooo good. No advice needed.

Boxer is my favorite record from The National. I think it's the best thing they have done so far. Also a fan of Alligator and High Violet. I tried/wanted to love Trouble Will Find Me but it didn't connect.

The mere reason you have those things is because of union influence. If you think that's not true then you're either naive or uneducated. Do your homework.

It's unfortunate that you buy into political spin regarding the proficiency of teachers. Granted, there are some bad teachers but the good teachers outweigh the bad ones by a landslide. You have to understand that there's a huge movement that wants to make education profitable. How do you do that? You keep salaries low and pensions nonexistent by creating an environment where no person would want to teach more than a few years. This is accomplished by painting teachers as the enemy and by tying teachers' longevity to standardized testing outcomes. Is the gluttony of standardized testing helping to better educate kids or helping to push teachers out of the profession? We're all a bunch of uneducated, lazy motherfuckers who are killing the economy because of our bloated pensions. Really? Funny how Wall Street gets a free pass and educators are the devil. Because of this climate---your grandmother would thank her lucky stars that she has union support if she was teaching today. Could you please give me an example where unions hurt everyone involved?

Unions ensure that the middle class exists. They fight for fair wages and benefits---without them, where would we be? Look at recent attacks on teachers and what has happened in New Orleans. Watch what happens to quality of life when unions are abolished. Look what unions have accomplished over the years and how we all benefit from their existence. Paid anything, 40 hour work week, overtime, benefits, safety, due process---thank a fucking union.

Yes, I am a proud union member. While I don't always agree with some of the decisions that my union makes, I still feel they are an important entity. Those who feel that unions have outlasted their worth haven't really taken into account what unions have historically done for workers in this country and other countries. Even if you're not in a union but work in a state that supports unions---you're better off than if you live in a state that doesn't support unions. If we abolish unions---you can kiss the middle class goodbye. We will become a country of rich and poor and guess where you fit in on that scale.

Why do you feel this way?
