listmaking notes and observations, P!aTD, 3/20-4/10/10

Brendon: Wished his father a happy birthday and the internets a happy "irish holiday"; referenced Seinfeld, Billy Crystal and Regis Philbin; watched a Bil Maher special and some puppies playing; shared a video of a gentleman who is VERY fond of his motorcycle; had some Thai food; was sorry he couldn't be with Keith Buckley in Vegas, and was apparently amused by a music-geek joke on a t-shirt that I totally didn't get at all, and the comments on the Twitpic were no help. On a related note, musical selections were from Yeasayer, Local Natives and Lagwagon. I was especially amused by the Simon and Garfunkel cover fron Local Natives, specifically, the dude(s) playing drums on the trees.

Spencer: I think I'm just going to call him Silent Bob from now on. He tweeted twice, once about MTV March Madness, and once to share a picture of a t-shirt that said "Two Words: Suck it" over a large X, which is apparently some sort of wrestling reference.

listmaking notes and observations, Travie edition, 3/20-4/10/10

The highlight of the last couple of weeks: The "Rock and Roll Fishing Show" video from Warped '08, featuring Travie discussing illegal fishing lures, Tim Williams' chestpiece and also John Oh pretending to be a trout. I wish they would make that show for real, because I would watch the hell out of it.

Also interesting: The Jay-Z documentary. It's beautifully lit and shot, and has some extended interviews with Jay-Z, and also John Mayer. Which was interesting in part because I never realized how much of a Brooklyn accent Jay-Z has until I heard him contrast to John Mayer.

Anyway, moving on: Travie was as usual a road warrior, ratcheting around from SXSW to LA to New York to Miami and many other places, promoting his solo album, visiting with various and sundry musicians while he was at it, and going to shows by 88 Keys, Alkaline Trio and Cursive. He also had quite a festive Easter (he got the most out of his ridiculous rabbit hat) and spent some time assembling toys.
