VACATIONING FROM YOURSELF

Skinny Friedman does a nice job of putting a lil' pep in Beach House's step on this remix of their stand out track "Norway".  Best served with a dark n' stormy and a couple sprigs of mint...

TALKING ABOUT DIAMONDS

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Watched Paul Simon's "Classic Album" DVD for Graceland twice yesterday.  Great way to spend a Sunday.  Kinda wish I was at that show in S. Africa back in the '80's.  Don't you?

Legend has it they didn't record "Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes" until after the album was initially finished b/c the label wanted to push the release date.  So when they were all in NYC together to perform on SNL they said "fuck it, let's get in the studio and bang out another one".  Classic indeed.

DISAPPEAR HERE

pool Just finished Imperial Bedrooms by Bret Easton Ellis, the sequel to the "Catcher In The Rye" of the 1980's Less Than Zero, and am sure I'll be jarred by it's entertainingly dark and encompassing glimpse beneath the seductive surface of the meandering and endlessly intertwined boulevards of Los Angeles for days and weeks to come.  Go pick it up and read it!

New new Wavves shiz for you right here and right now.  His/Their new album, King Of The Beach, is gearing me up for a long summer with it's Animal Collective meets Nirvana stoney radness. This song's one for the handle bar boom box on the front of your low rider bicycle with it's boom bap "Be My Baby" beat that crazy Phil Spector would be more than happy to clean his guns and count his money to.
