Train in Vain (Stand by Me) - The Clash

This songs been following me around the last few days.

The geniuses at Channel 101 made a web series shooting guerrilla style inside of an IKEA store. The entire web series was still easier to put together than any piece of furniture from the store. Mini-blurb about Ikea Heights on the Comedy Central blog.
If you’ve never seen the Flaming Lips play live then you’ve probably never experienced the most joyful moment of your life. Seriously, the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

Comedy Duo

I want to start a vaudeville comedy duo but where we’re both straight men. And the other person will be an attractive lady. And instead of witty straight-man lines we just make out. And it’s not on stage but on a futon. And there’s no audience.

That would be a great bit.

The Top 35 Or So Songs of the 80’s

#27: Fugazi - Waiting Room

Everything about this song is classic: The bassline. The pause!! The shuffling drum rhythm. Ian MacKaye so charismatic he could incite a riot in an actual waiting room. “I wait, I wait, I wait, I wait.” Guy Piccotto’s conversational cheers and jeers: “ahhh, come on and get up.” The start-stop guitar-play in the middle of the song. The shift into full-blown anthem mode: “I’m going to fight for what I want to be!”

This is what I was doing in Michigan during April and May.
