Yay! Finally, a bowling episode on Parks and Recreation. and guess what? I bowl exactly the way Ron does. Straight bowling, right down the middle. No fancy stuff. He even gets mad (like myself) when people bowl all fucked up (i.e.- Tom rolling granny style) and still do well. That is mega annoying. I knew Ron and I were kindred spirits.

I got a free facial at Barney’s today. They even gave me a makeover. It’s weird for me cause I never wear makeup. ever.
My Fucked up Subconcious
I had some strange dreams again last night.
Dream 1: Kristen Wiig, another man and woman were my upstairs neighbors. Todd was scared to talk to them, but I became a fast friend. We hung out on the stoop. Also, they were being audited so they kept giving me their paychecks to hide.
Dream 2: A “bad guy” for lack of a better word, turned all the continents into ice and then broke them apart in to tiny pieces. I was separated from my family, but was with 2 friends, who were the same kind of Jew as me. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to stay with them, or go off in these questionable rockets to find my family. I kept going up and down elevators in a dystopian airport.
What is wrong with me?!?!
Click thru photo to read a short article on The Siberians’ (the old curmudgeon’s band) recent visit to WFMU. Click here to listen to them on the Three Chord Monte show! My favorite song is Evil Ways. The Bag I’m In has a sweet pickslide. And don’t forget to come out Friday….
The Graduate (1967)
The Graduate is one of my favorite movies of all times. The first time I saw it, I immediately rewound it and watched it again. D Ho is just so monotone and young in this movie, it’s hilarious. He doesn’t handle any situation well. My favorite scene is when his dad (William Daniels) comes up to him as he is “drifting” and says:
Dad: Have you thought about graduate school?
Ben: No.
Dad: Would you mind telling me then, what those four years of college were for? What was the point of all that hard work?
Ben: Ya got me.
Anne Bancroft is amazing as Mrs. Robinson, the trifling bitch, and Katherine Ross is beautiful as Elaine. Great performances all around by the cast, really. Look for a young Richard Dreyfuss in the Berkeley scenes….
No Matter What Badfinger
Soul Claps
Rock songs can be made better by some strategically placed “soul claps”. I got the term “soul claps” from an old boyfriend, and it’s really the perfect term for the few claps in rock songs that everyone notices. We have to throw “soul” in there because that’s where these rockers get the idea, from soul music. Some songs have them through out, but some only in one spot, but you can’t imagine them not being there.
Last night, after work, I decided to have Brewskie practice. Not sure if you know that Brewskie is my duo group with my old man. I play rhythm guitar and sing and he plays lead guitar and sings backups. Our set list includes some Seger, BOC, Kiss, The Band, Aerosmith, etc… I wanted to get some new material so I looked up Badfinger No Matter What. That song has some killer soul claps in the last little bit. They are perfect.
After that I decided I wanted us to harmonize like the Beach Boys (fat chance, I know) so I looked up my favorite BB song I Get Around. Also has soul claps (during the verse)! Another one is Dobie Gray’s Drift Away. I used to have a whole list of songs with soul claps but I can’t find it. Can you help me out?
My illustrious husband had spent the last 300 years working on making a record and it’s finally coming out!! This Friday!!!!
Please see the flyer for all the deets.
Also playing, are The Psyched, my buddy Macbain’s band! Plus, MY hermit ass is gonna show up to support.
I heard they may even do a half ass cover of “I Get Around”, the pimpinest of all Beach Boys songs. So it should be a fun time. PARTY!!!!
