you're breakfast bitch

I woke up this morning. Talked to my girl for a bit and then decided that I wanted some breakfast, typical morning.
Flapjacks, bacon, let me sip your OJ. Holla holla holla oatmeal and granola.

LeLe- Breakfast-



LeLe features the work of the immensely talented Dutch designer Parra

For all you Los Angelenos looking for NYE fun times, LeLe is playing at The Standard, Hollywood. Maybe you can get some pretty girl to sing "bitch, you're breakfast," to as the sun comes up. hmm.

Merry Christmas to you all and a happy new years...heres is my present to everyone

20 minutes before my job interview...i got the butterflies...to the point where my stomach was swirling...and i knew...that if i entered that building and started my interview...there was no way in hell i could hold it in...how embarrassing would it be to fart during a job interview? and i am not talking about those soft and coherent cute ones...i am talking about those smelly ones that sound like a helicopter...sooooo...i basically had to take a shit...drop a deuce...snake charmer...power dump...spinal tap shit...all that fun stuff...i power walked my way to the nearby mall and headed straight for the bathroom...whew!...not a single person...i entered a stall and started handling business...i'd say 20 seconds in...i hear footsteps...fuck!...there goes peace and quiet! im sorry...i prefer taking a dump in silence...well he walks past my stall and enters the one adjacent to mine...i hear him pull his pants down and sits down on the toilet...AWKWARD SILENCE...it was literally dead quiet...longest 2 minutes of my life...it finally came down to...who is going to drop one first?...i knew he was waiting for me...i was waiting for him...but i had no choice...i had 10 minutes left till i had to be at my interview...so i braced myself...closed my eyes...and i went for it...woooop (sound of poo hitting toilet water)...i didnt move...exactly 15 seconds...he went for it...woooop...AWKWARD SILENCE yet again...shortly after...he dropped again...DOUBLE TIME...fuck it...i went for it...and then he did the unexpected...he farted and giggled a little....the look on my face was most likely priceless...i didnt know whether to laugh or be disgusted by this complete pooin/farting stranger...but for everyone who knows me...i wasnt disgusted...i just felt like i was in the most incredibly awkward moment of my life...all i knew was that i did not want to see this dudes face...so i released...wiped...flushed...out of the stall...and headed over to wash my hands and saw...a bum staring at himself in the mirror...wooop (dude was still going at it) i washed my hands and got out of there...nailed the interview...and never went to that bathroom ever again

top of the year-music

So it's the end of the year and that means a barrage of "top of 2008" lists.

KnifeFight's top 15 albums of 2008.
(Please comment with your own lists)

1. TV On The Radio- Dear Science (Interscope)
This band of Brooklyn art-rockers have always taken a while to grow on me. Sure, I liked Return to Cookie Mountain, but only after numerous listens. With Science, something just clicked for TV. Maybe it was their jaded New York Lens, or that they just really wanted something different. Who knows? Add in the America’s political climate from 2008, the fact that an African American was running against a dinosaur of a man that no doubt prayed “Dear Science…” every night to “keep me alive,” a seemingly never-ending war, a recession and a feeling that something just wasn’t right in the world and you’ve got the perfect groundwork for an albums’ worth of songs becoming fantastically hopeful, relevant (“Golden Age,” Science’s best track) and melancholy (“Family Tree”) at the same time. Hell, the band even makes their first step into disco territory on “Dancing Choose.” From the moment Tunde Adebimpe sings “Go on throw this stone, Into this halfway home!,” on opener “Halfway Home,” (just around the 4:15 mark) the guitar cranks up, fuzz-blaring and the drums shift into a marching-band-esque pound, you know maybe we should all just start praying “Dear Science, lets hope the next four years are better than the last.”

2. Cut Copy- In Ghost Colours (Modular)
I have always loved Cut Copy. When I first heard dancefloor anthem “Hearts on Fire,” on the Aussie band’s So Cosmic mixtape, back in early January, I hoped the bands sophomore effort would come sooner than later. Synth pop is one of the easiest and hardest genres to figure out. You can easily grab a Korg, set up some drum beats and start singing about technology and love, sounding like Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan. Or you can do what Cut Copy did. Enlist one of the best current disco-house producers in the land, the DFA’s Tim Goldsworthy, fly halfway across the world, to New York, hole up in a studio tinkering with any synth, programmer or sequencer you can get your hands on and make a magical album worth of anthems (“Lights and Music”, “So Haunted”) dreamy Giorgio Moroder-obsessed tracks (Hearts on Fire) and straight-up 1980’s Top 40 worthy love songs. It took four years for Cut Copy to make In Ghost Colours, I really hope it doesn’t take four more for the follow up.

3. Lil Wayne- Tha Carter III- Deluxe Edition (Ca$h Money)
Weezy returned in full force with TCIII, confessing he was the greatest rapper alive, giving Kanye a run for his money and featuring more guest singing and producing spots than you can handle. Tracks like “A Milli” and “Lollipop” are pop-radio gems, while tracks like “Whip it” and “Got Money” are straight ass-on-the floor synth rap. Listening to both the way he flows, his simplified style and word choice, you get the feeling that Weezy actually knew TCIII would sell a million plus copies. I will admit I got into this record way late, so I am guessing Weezy and I have many more months of listening to look forward to.


4. No Age- Nouns (Sub Pop)
Wow. This Los Angeles duo really know what their doing. I wasn’t all that into their first album Wierdo Rippers, and so, the first time I popped Nouns into the player, my ears thanked me. For me, the album really starts with the beautiful, fuzz-filled jangle that opens the second track, “Eraser.” The guitar and drums swim with each other, as if off in the clouds somewhere, waiting for the day to break. The minute that the drums speed up and the guitar breaks character, the song launches into the perfect soundtrack for a rocky suburban teenage love affair, a beer-soaked, steal-your-parents-car night on the town. The next track, “Teen Creeps,” offers the one-two punch. Nouns is fantastic a group of beautifully relentless songs that would make both Kevin Shields, Thurston Moore and Geniuses P-Orridge all stand up and applaud, one could only hope.

5. Fleet Foxes- ST (Sub Pop)
Seattle label Sub Pop had a great 2008. After No Age, Fleet Foxes come in second for the label’s best offerings of 2008. A debut album worth of delicate folk ditty’s oozing with Americana. The songs are like, what one other reviewer said, when Natalie Portman first hears The Shins in Garden State. They are fresh-faced, immensely talented and able to create tracks that seem to almost transform you to some sun drenched clearing in the Appalachian Mountains, alone, joyfully hiking around as if in some perfectly relaxed state. Don’t forget your beard a flannel shirt.

Here’s the other last ten-

6. Crystal Castles- ST (Last Gang)
7. James Murphy and Pat Mahoney- FabricLive 37 (Fabric London)
8. The Cool Kids- The Bake Sale EP (Chocolate Industries)
9. Lindstrom- Where You Go I Go Too (Smalltown Supersound)
10. Hercules and Love Affair- ST (DFA/Astralwerks)
11. Foals- Antidotes (Domino)
12. Hot Chip- Made in The Dark (DFA/Astralwerks)
13. Vampire Weekend- ST (XL)
14. Lykke Li- Youth Novels- (LL/Atlantic)
15. Various Artists- Calypsoul 70 (Strut)

Happy Holidays!

oh being snowed in

so its snowed all day yesterday starting around 8 in the am at my house, until the evening. Its pretty lame being stuck inside all day, but its also lame trying to drive and getting stuck in the snow twice (Im speaking from experience). also kinda lame having to pay a cab to take you to the grocery store for milk and bread which they were almost completely out of (good call Lillian) minus the really crappy bread. so the roads are all iced over and my school expects us to be there tomorrow at 9am...shhhyya right. maybe that would work for the people who live downtown where there's not nearly as much snow, but for folks like me who are a 1000 feet up, and have 6 ins. of snow caking up and icing over right out they're front door, not to mention don't have chains, or a 4 wheel drive car, its a LOT less feasible. so ill probably be stuck at home (posting even more lame blogs then this one) for at least a few more days cause its gonna snow Wednesday and Thursday, and more then likely Friday! and then a one day break and then again on Sunday....simply stunning. some much for all the people that when i moved here said "if it does snow here it never sticks"... 

never say never bitches

(that picture is my balcony only 2 hrs into the snowing yesterday...)

Alrighty Colorado. What the fuck.  I awoke to yet another day (and night) of horrifically frigid temperature. It's 1 degrees, wait, I keep saying that. It's 1 degree. My iPhone, which continually seems to please me day-in, day-out with its' gifts of time wasted finger jabbing, gave me something useful today in a double-whammy of fantastic YouTube-d video action. 

Wait! the phone just switched, now it says 0 degrees. Haha yes, its like that whole sun invention never happened. I played "California Dreaming" on the radio last night. Damn those Mama's and Papa's for making it so great. Let's forget about another of my teeth chattered nights is going to suck and enjoy these-

">
It's alright, because Bush and Jesus are such good friends, I am sure he will have God totally wreck that crazed, shoe-lauching journalist. Git'r done.

Group hug. Much Love.

love me some chai tea

Dear unknown man in chip and pepper jeans ad,

I want to hold your hand and listen to bonnie prince billy under a bridge somewhere as the ocean slowly rolls in to the hums of the subtle music surrounding us. I would make you breakfast everyday. I would make sure you had suitable doo-dads for your hats. I would weara an apron as I made you cakes on sundays and make sure you put sunscreen on when we went to the beach. I want to dance until the wee hours of the night and fall asleep in your arms.

that's not creepy right??

anyways...

While editing the downloaded material on my work computer today, I found this lovely photo. I must have laughed for at least 5 minutes..how does one acquire this view? Sinkhole view. And it also reminds me of a news story I heard like a month ago about a woman being trapped to her toilet. She sat on that damn thing for so long her skin became fused to the seat! First of all, she obviously had mental problems if she didn't leave the bathroom ever, it could have been fear, laziness, or something we dont even know about! some weird phobia i bet. Why would you want to stay in there? EW.so much bacteria.I saw a picture and that bathroom was not one that you'd want to be stuck in...She apparently had a boyfriend that took care of her and brought her food and washed her. That's love. I would tell her to get her fat ass off the seat and make her own tuna roll. The boyfriend didn't call for help until enough time went by for her skin to fuse to the seat! Why did he wait so long??? She kept telling him, "Maybe tomorrow I can get out of here...we'll see"..... BITCH GET OUT OF THE BATHROOM! I HAVE TO TAKE A SHIT AND I'M SICK OF GOING IN THE GARDEN!

In my mind was raised a few questions: obviously the first is about sex, she was sitting on a toilet seat for more than a few months..obviously that went out the window, yet the boyfriend respected her want to be half clad on a shitter. He aided and abedded her sickness instead of getting her help. Why didn't he dump her? he was basically acting as a geriatric nurse to someone who wasn't even giving it up.... Second question, how did they fuse the toilet seat off? did she have surgery? when she goes to the beach in the summer will she have to explain her "toilet mark legs" to inquisitors? will she be embarrassed or proud? Third question: WHERE DID THE BOYFRIEND GO TO THE BATHROOM???

And some other random thoughts having nothing to do with anytyhing:

the lucky dizzle..fo shizzle

well hello..this is my first blog addition to T.A.W.S. I'm mini and unlike all the other lucky fools who contribute to this glorious blog that live in LA, I had to relocate for my lovely hometown of So Cal to Portland. Portland's cool don't get me wrong, but its no LA. and that's all I'm saying. Any who..I'm just here tonight to mention the eventful and not so eventful details of my weekend..

Well Saturday isn't technically a weekend day for me, as it is for most others, because I go to school Tuesday through Saturday, at Paul Mitchell the School..yes "the" school..Paul Mitchell names lots of the their products "the" this and "the" that. anyways so my Saturday kinda blew. Went to school and started slaving around doing hair until a little after 5 o'clock, getting awful blisters on my feet, then had to go straight to work, selling people silver jewelry. It always makes me laugh when people come in and ask if we sell gold..the name of the store is "Something Silver" there is is basically no gold at our store...but its even better when they ask.."do you sell platinum?" (rolling eyes) seriously...if we don't sell gold do u think we're gonna sell platinum? anyways I'm getting off track and its not very eventful. so after work I went home and did nothing because my blistered feet were killing me. pretty uneventful Saturday but i still managed to stay up WAY too late uploading music and effing around on my new computer :) which i love, thanks you Apple for not making shit.

but today, had more eventful events then yesterday.

well i slept till about 1, yes in the afternoon, what of it! and then i ran by the mall dropped a key off at my work, then headed over to my friends house in NoPo (that's north Portland for those who don't know) and went on the quest for ugly christmas sweaters. Goodwill#1, was a bust, apparently they had been wiped clean of everything in the ugly Christmas section. then to Goodwill#2, superstore Goodwill, where i was lucky enough to find a ugly Christmas sweater, that I've already tallied on compliment on, and this lady seriously did like it, and proceeded to tell me it was Norwegian and a "very special sweater"... my buddy Shania wasn't lucky enough to score a sweater and Goodwill#2, however she did snag a very ugly Christmas vest. So we moved onwards to Goodwill#3, a Goodwill outlet store (yes the Goodwill DOES have and OUTLET store) its so be called the Goodwill Cluster Fuck store, Jesus H, this place was just full of huge rolling bins piled high with dirty bastard neglected normal Goodwill clothing. All of the crazies roaming and riffling this place were out of hand, the employees would roll out a newly filled bin and these savages would go fleeing to it and start throwing sweaters, and sheets, and rugs, and toy guitars all over. This place smelled awful. It was the kind of place that once you're in there you want the fuck out! but you feel like you have to look, like theres some buried gems you're missing out on but really you're not. Did i mention that everything there is priced by the lb. yea..crazy. Anyways Shania found an ugly sweater, and we made it out of there with out catching some rare and incurable disease... thank you trusty Purelle hand sanitizer, you held me over till i could get to a shower. Next we had a delicious spaghetti dinner, and then went with her family to pick out a Christmas tree, and then had delicious ice cream cake, and then went to Winter Wonderland...no its not a prom event, even though it sounds like it. Its some Christmas themed light show set up on a racetrack and you drive around it and look at all the lights and listen to Christmas music and it totally gets you in the Christmas spirit. That was all fun and what not but the next events of the evening we're quite outstanding. Well minus the non outstanding event, of some Douche bag not having his damn dog on a leash an his dog went straight towards my dogs to attack them, and nearly got my lil baby Rico. ughhhhh...

So I left Shania and her family and went home got into my spandex, and went the strip club, Lucky Devil, or Lucky Dizzle as i like to call it. And nearly got t-boned by a 18 wheeler that decided he was gonna run a stop sign that i had been stopped at a good 100 yards before he even got to it! goddamn horrible Oregon drivers! i literally almost died in front of a strip club in OR! Anyways, my friends Sean every first Sunday of the month gets to DJ all his favorite sleaze rock songs, and promote his clothing company, Entrust Clothing, its awesome stuff check it out ( www.entrustclothing.com ) ...so we're all rockin out with our cocks out, or jammin out with our clams out..either way. but i got there a little late and missed out on this superb man who was gaining more attention then the naked females on stage. He was this pretty buff, kinda crazy lookin dude, wearing and black long sleeved shirt, a black beanie, and black short shorts..yes short shorts, like really short running shorts, mind you its Portland and its roughly 45 degrees out...so he was just stunning, OH wait it some how slipped my mind that this man was missing his FOUR FRONT TEETH! By the way this man had a name, he told us, "Mark with a K". When he mentioned his name was Mark with a K, my friends Kevin said "Oh cool, Im Kevin with a K"--CLASSIC! some of my favorite things he did that night were..hmmm..sitting at the rack watching the strippers and rocking out to Bon Jovi while straddling a few chairs, and stretching out his legs on the rack and the chairs around him..or dancing around booty shaking better then half the strippers and giving some of us a free show do to the short shorts factor, or like when he grabbed one of the oil candles off one of the tables, and brought it up to one of the strippers while she was dancing and held it up towards her ass, like he was about to go mining for coal or something, or when she continued to dance and was kneeling down straddling the rack right in front of this guy (just reminding you...fully naked) and he holds the candle up towards her freakin vag, and then run over the our group of friends that are just sitting on the couches in aw of this man, and totally wathcing everything he was doing, and he runs over to us and says and i quote "its pierced, two" *and holds up 2 fingers*  hahah just amazing, and at one point he held an invisible microphone up for me while i sang my heart out to Missy Elliot- Get Ya Freak On (this was after the cock rock portion of the night had ended), he also at some point in the night said something like Portland's weird "Keep Portland Weird", which is a bumper sticker people around Portland have on their cars, and all i have to say about that is Portlander's (or Pork-landers as i sometimes call them) you can rest your crazy little heads at night and sleep soundly because there is no way Portland could ever NOT be weird, the majority of you all are weird so nooooo woorrriiesss.  

well that's basically all i want to talk about, i hope my entry has intrigued someone...anyone haha hopefully I'll have some other fun stories to share sooner then later.

peace out from non-portlander stuck in portland

Pepsi, what's the dealio yo? by Tha Rizzla

The Pepsi vs. Coke debate, as most of you well know, has long been a subject of much controversy. It seems though that most people I talk to favor Coca-Cola, and let's for the sake of argument say that Coke is indeed, the most popular soda. I remember a time when I myself used to be a "Pepsi guy", but I will tell you exactly why I, and perhaps many others, have made the switch, or perhaps even the switch back to Coke. First of all, Coke sticks by all of the stupid drinks they make. I don't like any of these crappy Coke spin off drinks such as Coke-Blak, Coke Zero, etc., but they still exist for whatever reason. Now lets look at the Pepsi side. The reason I used to like Pepsi so much is because they used to come out with delicious drinks. There was Crystal Pepsi, which tasted just like the original drink BUT was FUCKING CLEAR! That is awesome because you could at least feel that you were being slightly healthy because you weren't drinking this murky substance but you still got all the sugar you normally would have. But they abandoned that drink and it quickly went the way of the dinosaur. Then, in about 2002 or 2003, there was Pepsi Blue. First of all, the color of this drink was amazing. Just looking at it made you think you were about to drink a cartoon or something, and who the fuck doesn't like that? Anyway, this was more of a berry soda, not much actual Pepsi flavor in it, but it was quite delicious. Again, it got the axe and quickly went the way of Michael Jackson's original nose. There was also Pepsi Vanilla for a short time, which I thought to be far superior to Vanilla Coke. I don't know if they gave this one the boot, but I sure can't find it ANYWHERE, so it's safe to assume that it is gone for good. Another disappointment. But the biggest disappointment of all came in 2004, or rather, every holiday season after that. I will tell you why dedicated readers. In 2004 Pepsi came out with what was probably the best tasting soda of ALL TIME. It was Pepsi Holiday Spice. I probably consumed more of this than any other liquid ever. So, as you could imagine, your humble narrator was quite excited come holiday season 05, but no Holiday Spice. Not then. Not ever again. And that was it. I couldn't go back to a company that wouldn't support the delicious concoctions that they consistently came out with. I had to switch to Coke. For a few reasons. First of all, in Atlanta, GA they have The World of Coca-Cola, and it's AMAZING. You should definitely go if given the chance. You can try all these crazy sodas from other countries, watch Coca-Cola being produced and bottled, and you can get your picture taken with the polar bear from those commercials. Secondly, they stick by all of their crazy drinks, no matter how disgusting they may be. But third, and I think that this is probably the case for most of us, the Coca-Cola company has poisoned my mind with their constant advertising. Case in point: EVERY time I see Santa enjoying an ice cold Coca-Cola, I usually say to myself "I want a Coca-Cola now". And I get one. And what's the deal with that anyway, does Coca-Cola own Santa or what? No other soda company gets to use it. I though that Santa was like, public domain or something. Oh well. I'm just now finishing up my ice cold Coke, so I will finish up this blog as well.
Roll Tide. Hail Saban.
