Friday night I’m going to be dusting off my head-phones to do a guest-DJ spot at “We Fought The Big One” at the Marx Cafe. I’ll be joining Rick and Brandon up in the booth spinning all kinds of sonic craziness.
What better way to start the holiday weekend than at Marx Cafe with some good friends, good drinks, and good tunes.
Come check out “We Fought The Big One”, recently voted by Spin Magazine as one of the 101 Hottest up-and-coming DJ nights in America (God help us!).

Last Day
"Live each day like it's your last day on earth" - you know that's a nice sentiment but really - c'mon. If I lived each day like it was my last on earth - I'd spend each day on a drunken killing and fucking rampage - or I'd spend each day sobbing my eyes out in the arms of my loved one - or I'd spend each day stockpiling supplies and building my awesome barricade to survive the coming holocaust - or I'd spend each day packing my bags for my long space voyage to my new homeworld, or I'd spend each day doing any other melodramatic thing to make my last day on earth worth more than all the days that came before it. If I lived my life by that motto I'd be a fucking crazy person!
"Live each day like it's your last day on earth" is bunk.

Meaningless
Stuck under a ton of rocks, bones crushed, life leaking out into the cold wilderness, and all he can visualize is the evil green guy from Pinwheel whose name he can't remember.
Him and the Dozers from Fraggle Rock making sugar glass for Lee Majors to fall through into a dozen wedding cakes made by Queer Eye for the Blind Guy.
He can wiggle his toes and twitch his nose, the rest of his motor functions are kaput. He tries to think of music to distract himself from the pain, but can only think of crap songs by Winger and Nelson. Now as his vision blurs he hears laughing like...
Hours later he wakes, a wolf eating his guts out and all he can do is replay the episode of Dukes where Luke loves the Russian acrobat or that movie with Magnum PI and the jewels in WWII or that other one where Travolta and Mandel go to Russia to teach swing dancing or some such...

"He's Had It" by: MHD
Shards of canopy glass peppered Patch's face, dragging red lines across his skin. The wind howled against his goggles, trying to rip them off. Patch gripped the yoke control with both hands, trying to pull his Spitfire out of its death-dive. Below the Channel waters churning, behind two Messerschmidt cranking out round after round of machine-gun fire.
Patch put the Spitfire into a roll and watched the enemy fire draw staccato lines into the Channel below. But the Jerry's adjusted quickly and now Patch could feel their rounds chunking into his tail section. Suddenly the whole plane shook as an enormous plume of smoke erupted from his burning tail-fin.
On shore, a BBC radio man watched the air battle intently.
The canopy continued to disintegrate around Patch as his plane continued to speed towards the water. Another 30 seconds and Patch would have to eject. But just yesterday, the Jerry's had machine-gunned two Brits in their parachutes. The war was heating up.
The only option left to Patch was to try to out pilot the two behind him. If he could keep his plane together all the way down, he might get them to follow him right into the drink.
The howl of the cold air filled Patch's ears and he strained through it listening for the German guns. Both planes were still on him.
The yoke shook in Patch's hands as the tail-fin burned off completely. Now Patch was without steering. On the fast approaching water, Patch watched the shadow of one German peel off his pursuit. Either dodging the tail section or dodging Patch's tactic having witnessed another doomed Brit use it before.
Another section of canopy glass tore into Patch's forehead, sending a stream of blood into his eyes. But Patch smiled wide at the wall of dark blue in front of him, knowing at least he had got one of the bastards.
On shore the BBC man reported in grim tones that another Spitfire was down in the Channel, but before he could finish his sentence a speeding Messerschmidt quickly followed suit.

3 Classics
Watched a trio of classic flicks over the last few days.
"North Dallas Forty" starring Nick Nolte - watched this one to get in the mood for Fantasy Football. This is and "Any Given Sunday" are probably the two best football movies ever. This one is supposed to be funny but really turns out to be insanely depressing. One of Nolte's best.
"Chinatown" starring Jack Nicholson - Jack was a weirdo bad-ass when he was a younger dude. "Chinatown" is supposed to be one of the best written movies of all time. I agree with that about 80 percent through the flick. The dialogue is great and the mystery interesting. However once Jack starts banging his client I feel the movie (plot wise) goes a little awry. But then that is fixed by the classic downer ending.
"The Odd Couple" starring Jack Lemon and Walter Matthau - this is an all-time classic. Talk about good writing in a film! Jack Lemon plays the most annoying character ever in this - and yet you still feel sorry for the poor sap. Meanwhile Matthau plays a great lazy, bum bachelor and when he is on the brink of snapping - you really feel it. This movie is great and the score is too.

"Little Miss Sunshine" (2006)
This movie was so friggin awesome. An excellent film on all levels. I am really very impressed. This movie is so cynical and depressing and yet makes you laugh so hard your sides hurt and leaves you feeling all warm inside. It actually melted my cold grinch-heart. "Little Miss Sunshine" is an oscar-caliber comedy.
Go check it out.

KFC – Kinney Fried Club
The 930 Club lost power last night, right before Sleater-Kinney’s farewell appearance there, when an electrical transformer over-heated forcing the fire marshall to pull the plug!
A make-up show is scheduled at the club for Thursday night barring any more heat related set-backs.
