Hi Jason I think your blog is a blob. you really need to start blobbing more. you need to start blobbing intentionally. put those books away Jason theyre no good for reading, just forget how to read its gay. pick up finger pupperts or go to wine tasting parties but end up tasting …… MY…………………………………………………………..COCK
Dear Freazoid,
Thank you for your confused rambling. In case you are interested, I am now writing on a film website called Schlockreel!
You can find it: http://schlockreel.com/
Sincerely,
Me.
Hey Jason!
Just tried Visiting your Film Website at http://schlockreel.com
It didn’t open.
Is it still Online ?
Anyways, I love your Blog. Infact, I love anybody and everybody who writes about Music.
Isn’t Sint Louis the place where Axl…? He doesn’t like to show up in your home town, what do you think of that fact?
If you haven’t picked up Omnivore’s Remastered/Re-released Jellyfish albums yet, do yourself a favor and get them PDQ. The BEST reason to spend any money today.
(This coming from someone who also has NotLame’s Boxed set!)
Good day sir.
I SAID GOOD DAY!
I’d heard they re-issued the albums but didn’t look into it. I dismissed them as a double-dip…are there a lot of bonus tracks?
Love your blog! Makes me wanna get off my ass, quit being old and start getting more explore-y about music again (and I’m a rock radio personality so I kinda should do that!). Thanks for the intelligent take on so many diverse areas, really fun reading!
Tiffany
So. Cal.
Thanks, Tiffany. I really need to get off my butt and do more posting…but it’s hard to find the time. Anyway, keep on rockin’ in the free world.
Oh, yeah…and feel free to plug the website on the radio any time you want!
You should give White Williams another chance. Smoke is a great album. I saw them live in Chicago as an opening band (having no idea who they were) and I don’t even remember who the headliner was at this point. All I remember is the good show that WW put on.
