I heart Seattle, I heart Seattle bad. I kind of want to move there. Something about the city is just nice. maybe it seems to not try as hard as Vancouver, or maybe it's just that they have more shows, and there always seems to be stuff to do. However, they lack mountains beaches, socialized health care, degrassi: the next generation, and all the phantasmaticly beautiful girls Vancouver has. anyways, I saw 4 shows there in the last 2 months or so, and 2 of them ruled my headspace for days afterwards. this was me and greg going down to see bedhead. no, sorry, the new year.
Our friend Steph was the first to pose like this and was cuter and more convincing than
we will ever be.
Dear Steph, you were cool. Why did we not hang out more? for you we pretended to give
a shit about video games and anime. in fact for you, we actually kind of DID give a shit
about video games and anime.
We pass this statue on our way to Everyday music, where we inevitably spend at least 2
hours. They have almost everything, are cheap, are not pretentious, and have great
deals on stuff that is mildly scratched. on this day I spent $90 on 100% all killer
media, including the new black lips and dinosaur jr, and a documentary about friends
forever.
We saw the new year because the main guys used to be Bedhead, who were really great.
The new year is their faster, more conventional offering, and so far is less good but
still ok. We figured they had to play at least one bedhead song because everyone who
was there was there to see the ashes of one of their favourite bands. Instead they
played all new year stuff the exact same way bedhead would play it, which turns out
to be just as good and slow and shoegazing as bedhead ever was. As Dave Bazan (who
opened and was great)was leaving the stage he said it best:
"the New year is going to come out now and make us all feel human for a while."
then they did and it was quietly mind blowing.
I know the world needs more pictures of boats like it needs holes in it's heads, but
when you're at the harbour and none of your pretty friends are around, what the fuck
else is there to do.
Brad said these pictures are hacky. He's not wrong. also, fuck picassa hard.
commmmmmmmmmmmpressionnnnnnnnnnn! aarrrgggggghhh!
my new favourite shoes that will look far more fantastic after they are all destryoed.
this little girl was at that stage where she's juuuuuust learned to run, and was
so incredibly happy to be running back and forth between her parents and the empty
space. and since she can't run very fast, it was awkward and adorable, like a
panda bear trying to do neurosurgery.
sunshine is the new noir. also, martin scorcese is the new martin scorese.
personal favourite. I need a new host for images.
