sailorstkwrningbut first, a special note about The Picture: OMG YOU GUYS. I had to blink at it very sleepily for a good 30 second before my brain parsed that that was Ryan sitting next to Brendon. And that it wasn't 'shopped. ♥♥♥♥!
But onwards to the main show:
Nick Murray: I think I've been spoiled by other people's (relative) radio silence, because now when I get to him I'm kind of like, WOAH, CHATTYPANTS. But at least he has interesting things to say.
Shared a video of a goat yelling like a man; was pleased with Panera's charity cafe; video of the loris being tickled; minorly cranky about the show cancelled due to them hitting a deer; video of Jail Weddings (band) live at a club (Hobby Shop) in LA; contemplated horror of sharing a bed with JarJar Binks for a year (?!); was angry about the Gulf oil spill; video of something blocked by Warner because of copyright (?!); video of True Love Will Find You In the End (Daniel Johnston); was baffled by a McDonalds with a kareoke (I agree with that "what the actual fuck??"); video: Lyndsay Buckingham, Holiday Road; appreciated Montreal;
expressed his appreciation for Woody Allen films as sleep aids, especially Manhattan; appreciated New Orleans; wished us a happy 4th with, I think, a picture of yawning lemur?; was amused by the story about the secretary w/ the lost cat and the graphic designer on Jezebel; was apparently frustrated in a search for a blue mailbox; video of something YouTube pulled for TOS (hmph!); blamed BP for spike in LA earthquake activity due to oilspill (per LA Times); "miley why dont you tweet me back?": no analysis, just giggling. I <3 you, Nick Murray, sincerely and unironically;
celebrated chupacabra Thursday w/ the Huffington Post; offered a link to godhatesgoths.com with no comment; various tour-related tweets (free show, cities they were approaching, etc); appreciated Marisa Tomei; was amused by risque place names in PA; appreciated public pianos (it was an art project in New York and also elsewhere); expressed a desire to win a cash/vacation sweepstakes; video of a dog "dancing" to techno; shared a review of the TYV show at Irving; appreciated possums; rt'd Chuck Klosterman talking about criticism; video entitled "karate fail";
shared a link to the obituary of a homeless person who was a fixture in part of LA; ran into Bobb Bruno (musician); appreciated at least one of same ridiculous band names on the dressing room wall as Ryan ("Pitbull Daycare"); was glad to be heading home to the West Coast to retreat from the world for a day or two; video of theatrical trailer for Rumble Fish (godDAMN Matt Dillon is pretty); drove around listening to Car, Button, Cloth: All of These Things Sank, The Lemonheads; noted heavy rains, narrated part of trip in the style of the Oregon Trail; commented on Kings of Leon Bird Poop In Face incident; link to story in New Delhi Times about Walmart putting radio tags in clothes; video of Mike Schank screaming for American Movie; tried and failed to win an Origami Vinyl contest; commented on Jersey Shore new season starting, not sure if he was sarcastic or serious about wanting to watch it;
played a show in the OC with his other band, The Black Apples; appreciated the new White Fence record; won "Saturday morning mvp" (??); video of pug "screaming" "Batman!"; noted the passing of legendary new-wave venue Madame Wong's, per LA Weekly (my new favorite phrase: "the malicious claw of misinformation that is Wikipedia"); took his puppy to a lake; heard a lot of Miley Cyrus on a Friday night; had to reconfigure a plan when the Troubador sold out; was tormented by Party in the USA; was excited about Soul Dance Clap Off and also the return of KXLU; video: Piranha 3D trailer; appreciated Death Hymn #9; had 18 unlabeled keys and no copy of Horses; video: Violin Hero, Judgement Day and also a dog riding a turtle;
appreciated Frank Fairfield (musician); attended record release party for Darker My Love; tried to keep construction debris out of his room; two Black Apples shows; attended beach and Dennis Hopper exhibit at Museum of Contemporary Art; appreciated a Nazz record; expressed a desire for a machine that turns plastic back into oil; banana mountains make him anxious; encouraged everyone to listen to JJ Jackson, noted various Black Apples shows are sold out; and, finally, asked everyone to be careful and avoid drunken faceplants.
Pictures: Cat on a drum; a freshwater lake; yawning lemur(?); picture of some buildings at Yale, which he declared "too fancy" for himself and Nick White; horses on a ranch; Mr. Mustard in profile; unlabeled keys; puppy sleeping in his lap; extraneous Patti Smith record; and a tower o' bananas.
Andy: Was also Mr. Chattypants on tour, but has been quiet(er) now that he's back in Chicago. I don't have much, here, just that he seems to echo their general collective affection for Hooters and he really, REALLY likes the White Sox.
His phone crapped out; he was, possibly, disappointed by the lack of Hooters in Missouri; was sad to miss Denver show; noted that without latenight TV he'd be a hermit ( . . . what?); acquired a new phone from a fan; appreciated kisses because they are delicious; was sad he couldn't bring all of Chicago to Michael Runion's show; napped with his cat (total # of crazy cat ladies in band: TWO); noted youngest parents in the world were 8 and 9 and lived in China in 1910; had trouble going to bed early; noted healing powers of PBR; explained he loves us but won't follow anyone because it would "clutter the shit out of his shit"; wanted bed; went on a meditation walk in Atlanta; made a complicated chord analogy that I can't parse at all but I suspect would result in a really dirty bass line; found a new mystery freckle on his arm; noted thong accounts for 25% of women's underwear market, pondered what the number were for men; committed a butt tweet; declared the White Sox were going to win the World Series;
may have visited a doctor's office; went to the beach; noted risque town names; was excited by the rooftop show in NYC; was sort of amorphously emo; was not convinced someone could leave the house with a thong static clinging to their heads and not notice; video: moonwalker in WalMart; wrestled with an undue Ghostbusters influence in his songwriting; moved to North Chicago; wrote an acapella instrumental; shared a link to the Wild Honey Pie performance video; appreciated Dolph Ziggler (wrestler) and his haircut; joined Jon Walker in watching Black Gold on So You Think You Can Dance Canada;
expressed a desire to skate[board] in Chicago; went to a White Sox game; and finally, rt'd Ziggler noting that he can't find his body spray anywhere and noted, separately, that he (Andy) can't find his bodyspray either.
Pictures: his cat, Chezzy; himself on a balcony in New Orleans; an intense chess game; various parts of Atlanta; a completed blocks puzzle; his band on the beach; rooftops of new york; someone with a thing static-clinging to their hoodie; tiny child on a skateboard; and a snapshot of a baseball game.
