Coruscating, Plangent, Seminal
Yet another busy weekend with no time for a proper post. Friday was Morgan's 5th grade styles slumber party which was oodles o' fun. How can you go wrong with root beer floats, twister bop-it, madlibs, and alcohol for all? A great time had by all to be sure; head on over to Andrew's site to see the photographic evidence.
Saturday was work, which was actually fine cuz I spent 3 hours in the stockroom listening to music and doing nothing work related, more or less. After work was Chris Whit's 21st. So I headed over to Chris Evan Deborah's and we did a little prefunking before heading over to indigo at midnight. On the walk there I talked to this Brit named Ben(?) who offered some interesting insight on American culture to me. He basically said that we talked a lot, but it wasn't just that we talked a lot it was specifically that we talked about ourselves a lot. Not exactly a mind blowing revelation, but still gotta love that American centric mentality.
When we got to Indigo it was packed and apparently there was some band playing like the eyelashes or the eyebrows, I don't remember I think that their name was facial hair related though. Seeing as I dislike people on the whole and how after waiting ten minutes trying to get a beer to calm my claustrophobic urges with no avail Morgan and I said our goodbyes and walked home. Yeah, we're old, but I'm alright with that.
On to the present: right now my bike is at the shop where I took it to get new tires and tubes. While I was waiting I started talking to the guy working there and bitching about how horrible my stem mounted shifters were. He suggested converting to single speed, not fixed cuz I'll still be able to coast. I thought fuck it why not and the whole thing only cost like $10.00. I'll give a review of how this works out once I get the bike back. Either way I'm stoked, single speeds just have a much cleaner look to them and I'm all about the clean lines. That's all for now, I know it was too much anyway.

::Music Update::
First off is The Arcade Fire's album which I'm hoping most of you already have. If not download it post haste. It's one of the best albums I've heard in years.
Secondly, there is The Electric Six - Senor Smoke, their second album I think. You may remember the Electric Six form such hits as Fire and ummm... Fire. They rock out in a fun silly sort of way that is kinda Darkness-esque, but not quite as annoying.
The Arcade Fire - Funeral

Damn straight about Arcade Fire. I am quite happy with the events of the near future as I will be seeing them at Sasquatch and then again at the Hollywood Bowl for one of the KCRW world festivals at the end of June. They will be playing with the Los Angeles Philharmonic...holy shit, Arcade Fire with a full orchestra, just the thought makes my entire body shiver in anticipation.
