Some of my faves spinning on the home hard drive according my Last FM page.
The new Dudes song “Pretty Lies” is so darn good, it has inspired me to fire up anything Dudes that I have at home, anytime I am at home. The only reason I don’t listen to the dudes right now, is if I have Vancouver fuzz masters Japanadroids going, or “1901” from Phoenix.
Ringtones are dumbest (or maybe greatest?) invention.
Now, I value my money. When I am walking down Douglas Street and some man puts out his hand to ask for money, I say, “sorry man, I value my money.” You’d never catch me… maybe… lighting money on fire. Wouldn’t happen. Coral wanted to buy some jars today to put the coffee in to keep it fresh, they cost like, $3 or $4 bux maybe? maybe? I was all, “no, I value my money.” And after all that… the Airborne Toxic Event battles through my strong defense and I download “Sometime Around Midnight.” The charge? Three dollars and fifty cents. What do I get? 15 seconds of the intro! WTF? I can download the song, all of it, in stunning MP3 quality for a buck!
Burned… I had to download another ringtone… so yeah, now when you phone, 15 seconds of “Panic Switch” blares at me and I’m $7 poorer. And hopefully wiser. RINGTONE!
I think, when I’m hanging out with the Airborne Toxic Event at the Sasquatch Music fesitval next weekend, I’ll mention something to them.
The Replacements are a band I play when I am sad. I was sad after the Canucks lost to Chicago last week.
My cousin Monica is getting married! whoa! to a cop! whoa. Chris (the cop) is a good man, he showed me how to make a grown man cry with a simple maneuver to the nose. Seriously, he made me cry, it works. On their wedding website I A: RSVP’d (I’ll be rocking the stuffed chicken) and B: listened to some Peter Gabriel. They have one of my favourite songs, “In Your Eyes” streaming.
James Taylor? SWA? I like him… but I don’t know why I played so much last week. weird.
Phoenix is so hawt right now on The Zone @ 91-3. Sometimes I bring my work home with me. The video is that Youtube clip waiting for you at the top, great view… so if you skipped it because you think your time is more valuable than that three minute gem, your wrong, its not, click the video already.
The Rev came on after something else I was listening to, and I kept that party going.
Flo Rida. Yeah. What? I like him.
and I end my playlist with some Pinback, because…
Go with yourself.
The Morning After 
You paideded for a ringtone? I emailed an mp3 to my phone the other day and now I got Katie Couric auto-tuning about some very thin ice as a ring tone. I can show you the ways of the free sometime.
i can’t believe you paid for a ringtone either… and i’m still amazed that you pay for downloads too.
for someone that “values his money”, i have to say that you *may* be spending it in the wrong places.
music is free. and it’s a wonderful thing.
I know I can put an MP3 on my phone… I was just sitting around exploring and the next thing I knew, I downloaded Airborne Toxic event… the ringtone was so bad, I had to download another just to fix it. bah!
I feel no shame downloading my songs off iTunes. If the artist gives me the song for free, huzzah… but I won’t steal it off a bit torrent. Not when I take their music to a night club and get paid playing it for others. that is just backwards.
Value is different than spending it foolishly. The ringtone has little or no value. 13 seconds for $3.50! zoinks. but I hold the .99 song and cherish it as something valuable. it is worth my .99 cents because I like it.
