cubs tickets

i have two tickets to the game on tuesday night, and i have work so i cant go. if anyone wants them at face value, that would be awesome - theyre section 211, row 22, which are more or less on the sight line of third base in the second section under the upper deck. $32 each.

gryll's basement

Conchords

Flight of the Conchords

gryll's basement

One of the funniest stand-ups I've ever seen. I've been waiting for a clip of it to go online for a while now, cause I knew it'd be up your guys' respective alleys. Watch the band talking and the following song. If you're interested, I have the entire show on DVD.

WHEN MEN WERE MEN...

...which meant sustaining decade-long erections. we should all be so lucky.

4 Dope Boyz



















I know we were talking rock, but you can't deny these men their due.

think about it

interesting topic for legit debate: what are the seminal rock bands of our time/generation? im talking about what the beatles and beach boys were to the 60s and what nirvana, the pixies, and most likely pj were to the 90s, not simply great bands that sounded awesome and made glorious music, but timeless with an unmatched scope of influence. as far as i can think, there are only 3ish - radiohead, the white stripes, and wilco (who dont get the same universal recognition as the former two but i think will have the same lasting impact in the long run). let's rap about it, brothers.

she bangs, she bop bops

lolla sched

day two looks nasty - too nasty, in fact, as it presents the only really tough conflicts of the weekend (gnarls v. sonic youth v. blackalicious and common v. flips...ouch). i hear tickets go from 140 to 150 tomorrow, so shit or get off the pot. fuckers.

To me it look like a leprechaun to me


don't be afraid, man, don't be afraid - just bring your leprechaun flute...

Frei Mußik



Lars would disapprove, but that guy can't even put a decent sentence together.

The eMusic Pitchfork Fest Sampler is a good listen and it's actually free, so sign up, get it, plus 50 other free tracks (new Black Keys EP for free!) then cancel your subscription and use the money you saved to hook up Marty with a reparation. Basement-haters aside, it sounded like a good night.
How were the Keys?

Purple maze


The two students that carved this local field into two soccer players have to be pretty damn happy with how things turned out, but not as happy as all you users would be if you got lost in this maze made out of a field of cannabis. They even got their agriculture school to sponsor it, so there.

Class discussion:
1. What are some of your favorite songs that have written about your addiction?
2. Is anyone TiVo'ing Weeds? I can't wait to see how they will try and top the scene when she meets up with that dude in the alley.

MING'S GONNA BRING IT TO YO FACE


AMADOU AND MIRIAM with SEU JORGE
MILLENIUM PARK
THURSDAY, JUNE 29TH @ 6:30 PM
FREE
You may know Seu Jorge as Knockout Ned from City of God, or, from The Life Aquatic as the dude that sings all the Bowie songs in Portugese. Amadou and Miriam are a blind couple that play the catchiest, grooviest, sultriest Senegalese songs your ears will ever hear. Alex and I saw both of these acts at Coachella and they were shityourpants good, so grab an extra pair of underpants before you head down. Klatt and Alex Suck.

Saturday Fiesta

So my parents are leaving Saturday morning and coming back Sunday afternoon this coming weekend. Both my sisters will be gone which means MARTY left the house up for me to watch for the day and night (stupid decision). I was thinking about throwing an all day and all night kegs/pool/bbq/beirut outside party. Whose going to be in town this weekend and up for it?? Definately a day and night that will get very crazy but we got to make sure we have guys to be around as well as girls. Maybe a nice big beirut tournament all day???? come up with some good ideas and let me know

ghana>usa

josh only lost by 2 to italy, compared to all of us who lost to czech republice by 3. i sound like a total loser, but i tried to defend our honor. 6/12 i tried to go to a bar where only greeks were there, and they hated americans, but nobaody followed me, where i wanted to go. so i went to a posh hotel where everybody was indifferentl. however, i wanted to and still may, throw fistcuffs down to keep pride. the line, you know soccer, and honestly, fuck anyone who says other wise, america is numbero 1. this trip is the first time i learned patriotism, but fuck that, america rocks. bottom line. anyone who say otherwise outside of the continent is a tool. GBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and i standbyit,

And so it begins

As long as we're overseas bringing freedom to foreign lands who want it so bad, it just makes sense that we should crown ourselves kings of their favorite sport in the process. The Prophet Eric Cantona agrees, so let the World Cup be your excuse as to why you are slow-playing the getting of a summer job.

SUMMER APARTMENT

820 Hamlin has been conquered.
Our sublease runs July 1 - August 20. That's 8 weeks of beer funnels and vaginal shenanigans. Adam and I need to make sure that you guys can commit to pitching in for rent (it would be $200 for the summer), post your commitment. Adam and I will likely end up paying the lion's share ($700-$800) so we think it's reasonable to ask for that much from you guys. Especially understanding the ubiquitous poon that you will pull down as a result.
Secuntly, if your name is Zach Novak, post whether you would like to live full-time in the apartment with Lord Aldum and me. No regrets.
Thirdly, if your name is David Klatt, post what you think your involvement will be after your swastika tattoo has been removed. Sich heil!

INTONATION MUSIC FEST ANNOUNCEMENT

Check this...If we get 4 people to go to Intonation (Bloc Party, Dead Prez, Streets, Chromeo, Lady Sov, Annie) we can get a group discount and pay $30 each instead of the $35 online price or $40 gate price. I'll throw down the $120...but I need 3 other dedicated men...Bobby, Ross...I'm looking your way here. Just a little bit of effort for a free beernight.

Music, Mayhem, Machines, Mamazing!

For those unable to be there in person at Coachella 2K6, here's a little taste of the insanity. Lollapalooza won't touch this unless the Chili's get naked and the Flips pass out LSD to anyone willing before their show.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

seriously, the beginning of the end.
