Rilo Kiley Show

• Saturday, April 30th, 2005 • No Comments

I have a lot of shit to write about, Christ. Maybe I’ll get it all done today in several posts. Who knows? Anyway…

Rilo Kiley at Soma was pretty sweet. Some horrible band with a chick singer opened, they were so awful that they made the three opening bands at the Local H show seem awesome. [...]


Holy Fucking Shit

• Wednesday, April 27th, 2005 • No Comments

So it looks like your humble narrator might be going to Coachella for free. That kicks so much my head my explode. Depends on a guy falling through but god knows.

Rilo Kiley tomorrow night at Soma. Watch out for a guy in a black shirt with the word HOPE on it. That’s me. I doubt [...]


More Concerts

• Monday, April 25th, 2005 • 1 Comment

Rilo Kiley is playing at Soma on Thursday. I will be there no matter what (unless I can’t get tickets, shh), and you should be too. Then, Rasputina will be at the Epicentre on May 13th. I will be there, probably, and you should be too.

Rilo Kiley tickets are only $15 which is a fucking [...]


My GED Scores

I got my GED test scores back in the mail, only a bit over a week after taking the very last test. For those curious, my score total was 3290 out of 4000 (82%). A total of 2250 (56%) is needed to pass. For those interested in percentile numbers, my test scores go: Reading, 99%; [...]


New Nine Inch Nails

• Monday, April 25th, 2005 • No Comments

This is my head aslpoding.

Listen to four tracks from With Teeth.

Hmm… Trent is going even more emo.

Update: This is like Trent meets Garbage, very weird. New wavey, oddly perfectly complimentary to my current mind set as far as music goes. Cannot wait to get my hands on this.

New double disc Eels tomorrow!


Local H

• Monday, April 25th, 2005 • 1 Comment

So I managed to track down something to do last night, and it was incredibly bad ass. Greg and I went and saw Local H tear down the Key Club. It was an amazing, amazing show. The first opening band, Campground Effect was not awful, but not good enough to warrant buying one of their [...]


Bored in LA tonight?

Check out this most awesomest post on Craigslist ever about two bored guys living in the Los Angeles area looking for some cool place to hang out on a Sunday night. Yeah, people, yeah.


The Way It Goes

• Saturday, April 23rd, 2005 • 2 Comments

This is where I write about what spending time with Tiffany a week after she dumped me is like.

Pity that I suddenly don’t feel like talking about it.

Well, wait, maybe I do. A post saying I don’t feel like talking about it sounds like it was bad, but that’s not the case, so in reality [...]
