Return of mighty GLASSJAW!


After 5 long years tonight marks the return of GLASSJAW. Last time I saw them was at Warped Tour 2004 (I think). I've always been a huge fan but my friends and I bamboozled press passes and were able to watch them do their thing from the stage, let me tell you that took things on a whole different level of love. They completely owned. So flawless and effortless it was unreal. I remember all the other bands on the tour were all packed on stage to watch them, when there was no more room they climbed the speakers and watched them from there. I'll always remember Kenny from The Starting Line and Jesse Lacey singing along to every song. Tonight was a long wait but so fucking worth it. Glassjaw/Brand New @ Kool Haus then the afterparty where Daryl and Keith ETID are djing. Sounds like a good night to me....

p.s also seeing them in Long Island with Antonella next week! Stoked! After a 5 year break I get to see them twice in a week. LAWYERED!

Luck of the Irish?

Well well well.  Ireland were robbed of a spot in next years World Cup by a obvious hand ball (and offside btw) to which Henry admitted.  First FIFA implemented that seeding system which would pretty much guarantee the "big countries and players" a spot next year, and now this.  Absolute disgrace.  Feel so bad for the Irish right now, they deserve better than that.

Mariachi El Bronx

So when I heard a while ago that The Bronx (rock and roll juggernauts) will be releasing a mariachi record, my obvious reaction was WTF? But oh boy was I ever wrong on this one. I can't stop listening to to it. Makes me want to move to Mexico, find a cute girl just like the waitress in the video and drink Coronas (gross). Enjoy.....

Hygiene is important

Last week I was watching the Man Utd vs Chelsea game (I don't want to talk about the outcome) and while there was a substitution going on the camera caught this guy brushing his teeth at a game!  It was hilarious needles to say.  p.s sorry for the side angle, it was the only one I could find.

Glitter and Doom


I'm a huge fan of music. One of my biggest obsessions is Tom Waits. I can't get enough of him. He recently launched a new website on which I spent a good couple of hours this morning. From his words of wisdom, live videos (his Letterman performances and interviews are a must see, so funny), and a free download preview of his upcoming live record, it's hours of entertainment. At least for me anyways. He's truly in a league of his own when it comes to music and performance. Next tour I'm packing my backpack and checking it out that's for sure. Go here now: www.tomwaits.com , you're welcome.

Through Being Cool 10 years ago.....

So ten years ago today this little record dropped and changed my life forever.  I couldn't sit down and tell you my top 10 records but this one for sure is top 3.  Makes sense?  This is my White Album.  If you haven't heard this album we probably aren't or can't be friends.  I just refuse to, sorry.  It means that much to me.  Unless you are Natalie Portman then yes we can be friends.   Nobody's perfect right?  Chris speaks the truth on this album (girls suck and will only hurt you).  Words to live by.
