Day Seven: The Sabbath!

Sunday morning came and went and I finally got up a little after noon, feeling a little worse for the weather. It seemed my recklessness had finally got caught up with me and I had acquired something of a cold, with a little bit of a sore throat and a hangover headache to boot.
I had some breakfast (Boo Berries Cereal, yum!) and made coffee, then just read and watched Logo's Top 10 funniest videos, which included Electric Six at #10 with "Danger! Danger! High Voltage!" which was fun to see on TV rather than the internet. I think I had seen it on FUSE once before maybe, or MTV2, but it was awhile ago.
We had rehearsal at 4pm so I drove Dylan and I out to Silverlake to the studio. Alexa came around 4:30 and we practiced our set for the Battle of the Bands on the 15th. After she left, Brandon and I jammed on some music for some of the new songs we've been recording at Hoagies.
Afterwards, I stopped by Tiger's house to help him get his website, www.tigrefino.com, launched. I helped him figure out something that was tripping him up, and we got the site online, but then there were some glitches I couldn't quite fix. Hopefully he gets them figured out soon cause his site's really neat!
I stopped by the grocery store on the way home to get dinner (meatloaf, salad, and zucchini cakes) and then Marc and Myles came over to watch this really funny/campy/sort of scary "horror" movie called Black Sheep which takes place out in the New Zealand countryside.
I know I had set a goal to go out every night this week, but I was so tired and feeling sick by Sunday night that I just didn't have it in me. Besides, I reckoned, I had actually gone out to the Arclight last Sunday night with Brandon to see "There Will Be Blood" (my 2nd time seeing it) and I had a drink at the bar before hand, and it was a late night. So, I decided I would just count that. Afterall, I think I proved to myself that although I can still party like a teenager, doesn't mean I need to be irresponsible like one. I needed to get some rest and try not to get any sicker.
Now, I just need to go back and see how much money this little experiment set me back...

Human League Albums: From Worst to First!

Image
My first favorite band was The Thompson Twins. I don't know how or why. When I was at the age where someone decides that they have a favorite band, something about the Twins spoke to me and I just became obsessed. While many people quickly move on from the bands and artists they liked as a child, I am not one of those people. Thompson Twins are still a favorite of mine, but over the years, other bands have replaced them in the top spot. One such band, The Human League, has been with me for almost as long. They had been one of my favorite bands since I was about 12 or so, but they moved in to first place probably around the summer after my senior year in high school, when they released "Octopus." Here are all their studio albums ranked from least favorite, to favorite! 10.  HYSTERIA 1984 The dreaded follow up Considering they are my favorite band, I obviously wouldn't say Human League have ever made a totally awful album, but this one is definitely the closest t...

All the Thompson Twins albums (+ Babble) ranked!

The Thompson Twins. They were my very first favorite band. I've been with them through the ups and downs, and the fall before last I finally got to see their songs performed by Tom Bailey, the frontman who was most responsible for the band's actual music anyway. Of course I would have preferred to see the whole band live, but it was really more than I ever imagined would happen anyway and was an amazing experience. Collecting these albums was a journey for me, the first of many similar journeys as I found and fell in love with other bands throughout my life time, but the Twins will always be the one that started it all! 10. Ether (Babble) 1996 The second and final release by Babble, the band the Thompson Twins eventually morphed into, is not really a bad album per se.  It's very chill and ambient and therefore easy to throw on in the background, but as a result it's just not that memorable. The only songs that stand out for me are "Hold the Sky," ...

Amy Crosby, 1970-2021

Image
I met Amy Crosby in either late 2000 or early 2001, at a gay bar in the valley. I don't remember exactly which one, because I had seen her here and there at various Karaoke nights, where I had noticed her amazing ability to sound just like the artist she was emulating. Whether it was Cher, Alanis, Melissa Ethridge, or Traci Bonham, Amy would get up on stage and channel her inner diva. I think the first time I got up the courage to speak to her was at Apache in Studio City, which like many places I frequented in my twenties in Los Angeles, is no longer there. At the time she had her hair bleached blond and was adopting more of a "lipstick lesbian" persona, due to the fact that the "police were after her" after some sort of car accident or something. I thought, boy this girl is interesting! From the first moment we met she was telling me tall tales that seemed too incredible to be true, her (at the time) partner Von by her side, deadpan, not giving me any indicati...
