listmaking: notes and observations, 8/15/09, regular Travie edition

Travie was kind of quiet (for him), this week, but he shared several pictures, including an adorable shot of Disashi's son Hiro at a GCH show. Also featured: a giant silver robot that I recognize but can't remember the name of and various of Travie's frieds gleefacing and/or loaded down with toys. Also: Travie is Hellboy's #1 fan.

Overall he seems to be busy with tour, which I think is winding down, and also with nesting preparing for his move to Florida. He did watch a bunch of movies, but this week is also notable in that he did not share any musical selections.

Ryan was quiet at first, but got chirpier as the week wore on, sharing pictures from his adventures with bowling and himself with a cat (whether or not it's his cat: open to question), and also some links to trailers for Where the Wild Things Are and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus. Musical selections included The Beatles, Jeremih and he made a joke about covering a Dane Cook album. He didn't say which one so I picked the most recent one. Also he watched some Discovery Channel; was (gently) teased about an old picture by one friend and discussed names for someone else's puppy with another; wished his mom a happy birthday; and someone (possibly Alex Greenwald) gave him a Darth Vader lamp (?) that he couldn't figure out how to turn off. Finally, he changed his profile picture to a cartoonized version of himself, done Mad Men-style.

Brendon's list now ALSO comes with a warning, thanks to a terrifying YouTube video featuring graphic (but fake!) self-harm (of the people in the video, not of Brendon). Outside of that, he continued to watch Family Guy, play shows and to play golf, and seems to be enormously happy with all of those activities, even when he got rained upon. Musical selections encompassed a traditional blues song (inferred from the tweet about orbiting Corinna, which might be his own lyric), Regina Spektor, Winnie the Pooh, The Monkees and Rudy Vallee (his iPod must be a fascinating place); he was also the only one of the four of them to make any reference to the passing of Les Paul. And he joined in the Bring Back Pluto movement.

Spencer continued to share pictures of mid-show moments and golf games, got a massage, and dodged hornet's nests. He had only one musical selection this week (Big Shot, Billy Joel), and no art. Overall he also seems quite content, if a little bit banged up from tour.

Jon, on the other hand: still kind of cranky. Evidently he needs his wisdom teeth out, so that account for some of it. However, in addition to some thrift-shopping, visiting with friends and playing Chinese Checkers and Scrabble, it also looks like he may have settled down to an extended bout of songwriting. As for musical selections, The Beatles made a triumphant return, along with tunes from Billy Joel, the Aladdin soundtrack, Sublime and the Contours, and movie-wise, there was only Office Space.
