the more people I meet the less I know…

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

so apparently the poor girl mentioned below needs to be defended by matt and I was juicing up for a proper response, but after a bit of bad news I just am no longer in the mood…so I just give a pissed off response that won’t make sense to anyone but me…

yes the dandy warhols suck….I never said they didn’t…I haven’t seen a zeppelin shirt since….ever….why don’t u just argue that jesus was a punk…

My point was that the poor girl wasn’t old enough to hear or see Nirvana. She unfortunately was made a victim by media, her ignorant friends and the sorry rock clubs that have insisted on playing a tiny sliver of music that was popular and still in the memory of those who have power over her. If Winger or Led Zeppelin or Robert Johnson or Che Guevara, the Stanwyck Sisters, the Stanley Brothers or Gilbert and Sullivan had made a decent song ever she would never know it cuz she’s been led to believe that what she listens to is as good as it gets…and she hasn’t questioned that…

now of course I’m making silly assumptions that she has never heard any of those people I just listed, but based on her look I feel comfortable making that assumption….

once upon a time I could accept that everyone walking down the street had something to teach me, but now I wonder if they could teach me something before irritating me…

the more people I meet the less I know…

cancer is crab meat…

I think the band was Frente…and no I didn’t buy the ticket…I did however get lost on the way home…getting off on the wrong freeway exit and then driving back towards Portland when ur trying to go to Salem and have to work at 8 the next day sucks….

Frente is a band to be proud of…

jason zeh is to be blamed for the fiasco…

Nirvana

Wednesday, October 17th, 2007

Why do I have two pieces of chalk in my pocket…oh yeah…sorry…

so today I see some 14 year old girl with a Nirvana sticker on her jacket and as usual this pisses me off…it’s like the 3 times I’ve gone to a rock club here and they play Nirvana…so the last time nirvana released a relevant album was 1991…so think people…how come I don’t recall wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt in 1990 (10 years later), or a winger shirt in 1994. It’s nice that this poor girl thinks that with her all black outfit and Punk is dead sticker that she’s somehow a non Brittany spears, but really she is just another Brittany spears wanna be that ate exactly what was fed to her…I’m not judging you you cow for the music you listen to, but really…stop wearing bad religion badges (who were never relevant btw). Punk has been dead for 40 years…which reminds me of 1994 seeing the dandy warhols and quasi opening for some australian band…what’s his face warhol told us that punk is dead and it’s like even the sorry bands like them knew that punk was dead way back when you were 1 year old.

wil has promised a home cooked meal at his place the first sunday in November…actually looking forward to that I think….

more thoughts on france…

KLM is not the greatest airline I’ve ever been on….when i say not the greatest I don’t mean to imply that they aren’t they worst airline ever…however considering the business I work in I would never say anything like KLM is the worst airline ever…never ever…never…but I do want to be clear that KLM is not the best airline I’ve ever been on…

that is all on that topic…

french cab drivers are more than willing to rip you off…jerks….no tips…

I’ve complained about the rude Germans waiting to get on the streetcar, but the french are worse…the germans will stand there and not really get out of the way as you are attempting to dismount…while the bloody french will actually try to board the train before everyone is even off…I’ve started to just run into people as i get off…unless they make an effort to get out of my way or they are old ladies…I think this is like road rage on the public transport…

on a related topic can a german give me some deutsch I can utter to warn people that I’m about to run into them if they don’t get out of my way…achtung hackfresse!!!! I’m about to run into your sorry arse, and If I’m carrying a bag that hits you a second time I’m not sorry about it…

Bordeaux has sprawl…it makes me appreciate Frankfurt….ahhh sweet sweet Frankfurt…

mom I still need your address!!!! are you still on dial up?

sharing Frisbee stories really brings two people closer…

everyone has one frisbee story and it always involves the time someone got hit in the face with a frisbee…

why does MS want to capitalize Frisbee….I can’t express how that makes me feel.

rumour has it that 2,0 may not actually be an improvement… possibly a collection of spyware, malware and tupperware…
geez I look old…getting wrinkles…
Off to france for a short and quick weekend…france gives me gray hair to go with my wrinkles…
after deleting all my music a few months back, I’ve burned some of my CD’s that I never listen to anymore (cuz I deleted the electronic versions). Clem snide just came on…best opening line of a song ever:
Love is only for the lovely…

Tangerine Dream

Sunday, October 7th, 2007
so at the pub today for a bit of Liverpool (Torres is like a non diving ronaldo…) and it seems rather busy…I think nothing of it, but 3 minutes in there comes 2 blonde women followed by a
couple of cameras complete with lights etc. they come in and people seems to oooh and aaaah…the bar maiden (matt) tells me that there’s a gathering of fans of “tangerine dream” who is apparently playing tomorrow at alte oper…I think nothing of it, cuz I don’t know the band, but their fans keep getting in the way of my TV viewing so I decide they are all jerks…
anyways…after the cameras leave they are handing prizes and such…at some point I notice that the clientele here is a bit trashy…lots of long hair and weird english accents…british white trash I keep thinking…they eventually disperse, but all I can think of is how geeky they are. the table next to me leaves and they left behind a mechanical pencil..
this is when i realized that my geek suspicions are true….I come home and try to find the Frankfurt chapter of their fan club…here is the pic….

anybody???
if anyone cares www.tangerinedream-music.com
I don’t…

Ark Sano

Sunday, October 7th, 2007
I’m not normally a fan of female singers, but Amy Winehouse has the best voice I’ve heard since Billie Holiday. Probably an unfair comparison and one I should not make, but she does have an amazing voice.
and if you have Ark Sano listen to it…nice to hear prog metal on a piano…

I watched eng uh lund vs australia in the Rugby world cup at a table with 8 women and 4 men…in the states I’ve never seen that ratio of women and men watching a sporting event. Not sure if I’ve ever watched a women’s tennis event at a pub.

Hillary Flammond: who do you favor in the Virginia Slims tournament?
The Blindman:
in women’s tennis, I always root against the heterosexual.

It also pleases me to think that once this page is indexed that someone will someday type in “world Poo tour” and my page will come up first…Clockwork Poorange.

I’ve been looking at web statistics for this sight…I know that tracking user by IP address is not entirely accurate, but…questions…

who around Berlin is looking at this?
Who is St Paul Minnesota?
Do I have an aunt there?

Is this one of 2,0′s 12 non-girlfriends? Sorry if you are one of 2,0′s 12 non girlfriends…what I really meant to say is are you 2,0′s one and only non-gf…he talks about you all the time…

apparently someone came to my sight be searching on
“photos of an iranian artist”
“obese man sitting on skinny man squires”
“matt kat rockabilly sydney”

…and what technocrat is out there using Netscape 4.0 to view my site…you’re an inspiration to us all…

and for Matt (800×600)…I’m glad to report that the animated gif is now working…enjoy.
