bad music.

i’ll admit that quadrophenia isn’t the who’s most popular album, but there’s something respectable about liking it. there is, however, nothing respectable about liking “sister disco,” yet i can’t stop listening to it. (why won’t they show entwistle? he’s the best part.) this is making me want to go get that full-size bass i’ve been dreaming about so i can relearn the entire who catalog and revert back to my 15-year old self.

it’s not that i like bad music, just bad songs by good artists. yeah… that’s totally it.

i mean, i totally love this performance of  “while my guitar gently weeps” from the concert for bangladesh even though it’s slow and wanky. i think liking george harrison is cool again, just not that sort of george harrison. (i think “if not for you” might be one of my favourite songs by him or the song from time bandits, which is pretty damn uncool.)

hmm… i’m scraping the bottom of the barrel now. let’s leave with some cool stuff.”what in the world’s come over you” by the rockin’ berries, a forgotten band from the british invasion. buying their album was a big deal for me. this video is from pop gear as is the video for  “eyes” by the honeycombs. most people know their hit “have i the right”, but this video for “eyes” is crazy and so is the song. the honeycombs were produced by joe meek, who also produced john leyton and “johnny remember me“, which is a forgotten gem. another cool band is the chords and their hit “maybe tomorrow“. they were part of the 1970s mod revival.

and now, for the super uncool which totally destroys any cred i tried to secure with the last bit of youtube laziness-  this video for “rebel rebel” from david bowie’s performance at live aid in 1985. when i was 4 and 5, my favourite thing in the world was to bounce around the living room miming to this video. i feel like doing it again.
yeah… for being a kalx dj, i have crap taste don’t i?

nothing’s really new, i guess

i’m up watching my life as a teenage robot, which is one of my favourite new cartoons but nick stopped showing it. here’s my favourite episode where jenny (the robot) goes back to preschool.

anyhow, i just saw a commercial for the zoingo boingo. it looks a lot like the classic pogo ball, but with a a handle. i know that saying it’s just an updated pogo ball dates me terribly, but kids these days are getting ripped off. i guess it’s only a matter of time before popples come back, too.

finished that one page…

i finally want to call albums that changed my life done, i mean dunzo. it’s pretty stupid and not very good looking, but it’s done. of course now it doesn’t seem to be loading, but i don’t care. the whole thing is one big sappy, schmaltz fest that i’m sure the sentimental people will enjoy. it’s all embarrassing, but that’s my cross to bear.

my baby loves strawberries.

this morning i’m having cheerios and strawberries for breakfast. maude’s having strawberries and pellets. it’s sort of weird, but we’re pretty much having the same breakfast. i think this is like that kids in the hall skit where bruce almost has a moment with a dog. i’m not living a sham.

wake up, again….

so it happened. i woke up at 4:46. this time i called my mom because i knew she’d be awake. sure enough, she knew it was me. ugh. this not sleeping is brutal. i am not a fan. i did putter around a little bit, and right now am doing some indexing for work. it’s not bad. i’m listening to soul music, which is calming me somewhat, but i feel like i should eat something and get dressed soon. i doubt i’ll be able to hang out at work all day today. stupid, stupid chemo.

the sun is up!

when i was a little kid, i used to wake up before dawn and wake my mom up. she then told me to wait till the sun was up, so i would sit and wait to greet her when the sun rose. i guess i would stare at her and earnestly say, “the sun is up.” despite taking a sleeping pill last night, i woke up at 5:30. i was tempted to call my parents, but they’re in san francisco and i didn’t want to disturb them.

instead i took some pills and got a jump on my homework. maybe i’ll take a nap later, but for now i plan on finishing up my website about albums that changed my life for school. right now it’s pretty terrible, but just wait till a little bit later.

chemo part duh!



neverton, originally uploaded by kendrak.

chemo yesterday went well. they found the vein super fast and the nurses were all super happy to see my blue hair. they all felt bad that it was falling out, but that’s just par for the course.

i don’t have anything exciting to say really. i sat there for 2 and a half hours, i drank water, i played animal crossing, and i laughed a bunch. then i came home, ate a burrito and slept.

today, i’m not eating much, but that’s alright.

waiting for prime minister brown.

gordon brown and some kiddies.

i’ve been too busy with school and cancer to say much about tony blair announcing the date of his resignation. let’s just say i’m excited, almost as much i was 10 years ago when labour won the election. i’m perhaps a little more excited that my dream prime minister, gordon brown, is finally going to have his chance to bungle things. nobody’s going to oppose him, which means he (and sarah and john and james) will stay living in no. 10. and then he’ll bungle the government, need to call an election, and smiffs loving david cameron will start a new tory government.

until then, way to go gordon!

they all look the same, originally uploaded by kendrak.

i want to go back to northern england. i’ve been feeling really nostalgic lately, and now that football’s practically over i really need to plan for next season. maybe i should try to get tickets for the sheffield derby at hillsborough?

when this cancer thing’s done, i’m going back to northern england. maybe for christmas again? i don’t know. it’s going to happen though.
