not worth it

unless you're working late and desperately need a pedicure at 11:30pm, don't wast your money on nite spa in venice.

average service for twice the cost in a run down "artsy" bungalow.

In Rolling Stone they do flashbacks of top songs from old issues. This one was #10 in 1988. But it’s #1 in my heart.

This really was #1. Puke.

I can’t stop....

These guys are kind of cool. Wonder if Willie likes it? He just gets checks in the mail that say “Pet Shop Boys” and thinks it’s from a farming store in Dallas.

Why has this not been played at more weddings?! A real gem.

I feel depressed. And Mulleted. That’s Australian for ‘assaulted by this music’.

waterfalls

I have to share the incredibly dorky moment I just had.

Was listening to Wings’ ‘Waterfalls’ and noticed some crazy similarities to a little single cassette tape I played a lot in the 90’s, TLC’s ‘Waterfalls’.

Take a look at the lyrics and even the chord progression. Sue ‘em Paul! Or make them wear your vest. For a year.


PAUL MCCARTNEY & WINGS lyrics - Waterfalls
Don't Go Jumping Waterfalls
Please Keep To The Lake
People Who Jump Waterfalls
Sometimes Can Make Mistakes

(start at beginning) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tND34GdB37I

TLC - Waterfalls
Don't go chasing waterfalls
Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
I know that you’re gonna have it your way or nothing at all
But I think you're moving too fast

(start at 1:58) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-n-jZJhpT4

my morning jacket (seen in the link above at coachella) performed a tighter (not better or worse) version of this song on last night's saturday night live.
i love this band. jim james has a classic voice. and the feel of their music is free. he covered 'goin' to acapulco' in a surreal scene from 'i'm not there' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnVVKANqP3s. which reminds me that everyone should spend some time with the basement tapes.

saturday late lunch

9671 wilshire in the bh homes salad heaven , greenleaf gourmet chopshop. it's been open only 3 days, so go when you're in a mood that allows for chaos. it's worth it. tons of vegetarian options. i recommend studying the menu (greenleafchopshop.com) before going so you can order without feeling overwhelmed. i liked the greenleaf farm fresh salad.

friday happy hour

at 109 santa monica blvd in santa monica, you'll find bar pintxo. i went last night with some friends for happy hour. while the pronunciation escapes me (forgot to ask), i would recommend checking it out. offers vegetarian options and great wines. knowledgeable and helpful staff. small inside, which makes it pretty cozy.
