They say that Frank Sinatra
(a buffoon to some, Perseus to others)
was an impeccable dresser
(on this there is no debate). Frank was
especially fastidious about his
shoes, dress & otherwise.
Polish and glossy shine a must.

You Weird
faked by gorjus Saturday, August 28th, 2010There is nothing about you playing that 2005 Duran Duran tour DVD so loud that I can hear it over my window unit that is not just so sad and weird, middle aged neighbor bro. I shan’t judge if you want to spin “Girls on Film” or “Rio” and even though “Come Undone” is lowly treacle a girl I loved put it on a mix tape for me so it gets a pass, too, but recent live versions with huge Warrant-drums?
That’s just depressing, is all.
WILD EMOTIONS + BARE WIRES = THAT CERTAINLY SOUNDS QUITE APPEALING

Scratchboard, total ripoff of the awesome Flying Chair.
WILD EMOTIONS on the Facebook

OLE TAVERN is where it’s at, yeah, it’s a Monday, sorry.
IN GLORIOUS TECHNICOLOR
faked by gorjus Wednesday, August 4th, 2010This one girl got mono
& couldn’t go on the trip, we
didn’t have money to chip in so I
was gonna ride the bench
in study hall
while everybody else
held hands on the back of the bus, but
Ms. Crabtree said that since
the sick kid’s folks had
already paid I could go.
Mom squinted and palmed me
a fortune in quarters and singles,
tip money and pocket change, and
I ate so much pizza at the buffet they
had to pull the bus over, my
cheeks sunburn hot, Ms. Crabtree
held my pony tail as I
puked up six dollars of pepperoni.
HEY Y’ALL LET’S DO THIS
faked by gorjus Monday, July 26th, 2010Left of the Dial is this week. This week! It’s a show featuring Polaroids! There will be lots of Replacements and Husker Du and R.E.M. played in the background! I will hug you and stuff. What else do you need, really?
Srsly: Light + Glass Studio, on lovely Commerce Street, in Jackson, Miss. Singles are $50, doubles $75, triptychs $100. There’s about thirty pieces to choose from. There will be some Sandusky Reviews. There will also be candy!
AWWW COME ON DUUUUUDE
This song will undoubtedly get played at some point. Is it “Left of the Dial”? Man, who cares, this is just what good stuff sounds like.
THE KIDS ARE THE SAME! The Paul Collins Beat Lives On
faked by gorjus Friday, July 23rd, 2010There is a secret river that runs through rock and roll. It’s the same river Elvis traveled at first—and later the Velvet Underground, Big Star, and Chronic Town-era R.E.M. It’s that burbling, hidden music that never makes the radio and your parents never like, the kind only traded on mixtapes in high school bathrooms or sold as dusty relics at Goner or Shangri-La or Little Big Store.
