listening to "Janis Joplin - 04_Janis Joplin - Move Over":

I have finally let go of the resentment I’ve had towards Janis for years. I resented her for using drugs & ruining her life. Now it’s all gratitude.

Hi folks…

It would mean a WHOLE lot to me to make it to the UK this year for the holidays. The flight are SO expensive and getting to go would be a dream come true. I can’t take a lot of time off work during the rest of the year, so this very costly time is pretty much the only time that makes sense for me.

If you can spare anything, $5, $10, $20, $1500 — I would greatly appreciate it. If you have a blog, a business or a band, something you want to promote, I’m HAPPY to promote it for you on my Twitter, blog, Facebook, etc. as a thank you for your kindness!

Thanks so much and remember, spreading the word is helping too! So just repost this plea if $ is as tight for you as it is for me!

simply post or RT this link: http://bit.ly/k5GeW

Thanks again,

Yes, those are twinkle lights Julian Casablancas is wearing. Yes, at the time, he was playing Left & Right in the Dark. Yes, it was absolutely perfect.

I missed him SOOOOOO much!

I just need a LITTLE help... can you help a little?

I just need a LITTLE help... can you help a little?:

This year, I did it.

I finally applied for a passport and any day now, it should be showing up at my door.

The point of getting it now?

Well, I was hoping I’d get to use it before the year is out, on a trip to the UK to see England for the first time.

Back when I decided to FINALLY leave the tri-state area, it was down to a choice between the west side of the US or the east side of the UK. As my thin pescetarian blood would have it, L.A. worked out.

But now that I’ve spent some time here, I’ve discovered that I never did make it over to the other side of the pond.

There are a handful of reasons why all of a sudden this trip is urgent, but airlines decided to pick this year to cut back on the total number of scheduled flights which makes the costs for the ones they’ve already released skyrocket.

This is it, the part where I ask for your help.

Every little bit counts and if I can get 3 people per day to spare $10 or 6 to spare $5, I’ll get there!

Thanks so much and please let me know if there’s anything I can do for you in return!

Whoops of the Day: Macy’s ran an ad today in Philly congratulating the home team on their “back-to-back” World Series wins. Except that the Phillies are well on their way toward definitive decimation at the hands of the Bombers, and those T-shirts are well on their way toward making some Third World kid very happy for a little while.

Nirvana "School" Live at Reading 1992

Nirvana "School" Live at Reading 1992:

Just in case you forgot how positively sad Kurt Cobain’s untimely passing was, watch this video. In it a grown man weird a lab coat is screaming “no recess”… in this moment he’s a father, a husband and one of the most sought-after musical minds of his generation, a mere 18 months after making a full length record as a virtual unknown. Before which he was practically homeless and hooked on heroin, an addiction that would nearly kill him on the way back from this trip. Less than two years later, this lovely moppy-haired ball of energy would put a shotgun in his own mouth and believe his life to be so hopeless he couldn’t stand living it another minute. He’d done such a good job evading the few healthy people who cared for him and managed to surround himself with a lot of addicts who were far too wrapped up in their own disease that he was dead for DAYS before anyone knew it.

Every now and then, I think about how much people my age admired what he stood for and what his music did to legitimize our role in society. His message shaped our need to stand up to injustice, but to make sure we were being true to ourselves first. Ironic that we learned it from a man who probably had no idea who he REALLY was and the greatest injustice of all is that we never got to see and hear a coherent, sober, self-loving, self-realizing, mature Kurt Cobain speak his mind and share his heart. One can only imagine how beautiful THAT might’ve been.
