i get a huuuuge kick out of this and it's so ridiculous and not even that funny. a song you know or mostly know the lyrics to comes on, just sing along at a much faster speed than it really goes, ignore rhythm/timing/instrumental breaks and just keep going. while driving this morning i came across uptown funk on the radio... don't really know all the lyrics but this song presents a good opportunity, just sped through it, extra fun if you sing really really loud. again not that funny but i crack myself up and have made friends laugh doing this

normally i hate obnoxious people who play really loud music and have their windows down and shake the entire neighborhood when it’s complete silence. i do live on long island tho, so complete silence happens once in a blue corn moon
however today i was driving and Me and You by Werner (last name is too long to remember) came on my drive. i thought it to be funny to just blast it as i drove my merry way along and i felt so much internal joy from the absurdity that was that experience
i thought it was over for the day until later, The Rake Hornpipe came on. these are all my liked songs by the way, they didn’t just show up. and yes these are liked songs of mine in spotify. no i don’t know why. i was able to do it for a little bit, as the song is really short but memorable. it’s a joy to be dumb sometimes

In 2011 I was in a cab coming back to Brooklyn after a night out, Torn by Natalie Imbruglia was on the radio. It was one of those moments where you look out the window, see the city, and think, "Damn" I love it here. Regardless, the lyrics kicked in. From the backseat, I said "I love this song." The driver did too. He turned it up. We sang. He turned it up even louder. We sang even louder. If the vibe strikes, full send.

you probably know them already. i am from the home of Minutemen, beautiful sunny San Pedro, the port of LA and let me tell you... pedro does extreme pride really well and that is especially true when it comes to this band (and in this case the pride is absolutely warranted). george hurley built a fence behind my driveway for us. i played bass in his drum room when i was like 11 lol. yes i am flexing these things because it's awesome and he's an extremely kind man. mike watt is around town sometimes and he comes off as very unapproachable and cranky which is also awesome and funny. ultimately he is also nice though.
there are still lots of blue-collar middle-aged (to quite old) people in rock bands in pedro going really hard. one of the biggest blessings of my life is having grown up here (despite the town's issues and generally freakish nature) because of the music scene and support from older musicians. minutemen are our (humble) stars, and i'm grateful for them, and i'm grateful for the many rock/punk/jazz/blues/noise/freaky sound art people in my town.
"A Wailing Of A Town: An Oral History of Early San Pedro Punk And More 1977-1985" is a great book, i was super pumped when it came out and everyone who was around at the time had things to say about it/things to expand on.
i have love for this place but i still am dying to move away. btw. don't get it twisted... i am getting out of town or i die.
