Sooo...I'm back! I spent last weekend in Point Pleasant/Bay Head/ Tom's River, NJ and it threw off my timing some. My hat goes off to Trent at Pink is the New Blog, because I was never aware of how difficult it is to do some traveling and still post consistently. And I only went to one state over. Gah! I'm just going to jump into show posts, and the rest of the important news will follow.

In front of your crib sounding like Chinese New Year
Happy New Year! Last night, I helped celebrate one of my good chum's birthdays, which created a multitude of stories. I think I'm going to have to resurrect my old flickr account just to post all the mustached memories. While we were out gallivanting, so many exciting things have happened (and I'm not talking about Britney's hair snafu)! But now is a time for posting, not nostalgia. Onward!
I'm becoming more and more anxious for warm weather. Or a change of scenery, perhaps both. This gives me a reason to look forward to Al Gore's "Live Earth." On 07/07/07 Al is going to convince us that if he were president, all of these bands would play weekly, in their natural environments:
Pharrell, natural habitat- skate park (or so he'd like you to think)
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Foo Fighters
Snoop Dogg, natural habitat- jail
Lenny Kravitz
Bon Jovi, natural habitat- playing in every bar in NJ
Paolo Nutini
Sheryl Crow
AFI
Melissa Etheridge
John Mayer
Damien Rice
Corrine Bailey Rae
Duran Duran
Snow Patrol
John Legend, natural habitat- Kanye's shadow
Black Eyed Peas
Akon
Enrique Iglesias
Fall Out Boy, natural habitat- up for debate
Mana
Keane
Kelly Clarkson, natural habitat-FOX
Korn
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, natural habitat- below the Mason-Dixon
Ray LaMontagne
Robin Thicke
Kenna
Im getting all giddy just thinkin about it!
Greedy Genius has released his summer line of better than bathing ape kicks. It makes me wish I had a pay check to waste on them, alas.
Luckily, Nas is going to start his own line of sneakers. Apparently Def Jam is synonymous with sneaker line (Jay-Z). The deal is with 310 Global, the same fine folks to give Game his deal. I find it humorous that the same man who claims hip hop was killed by commercialism feels the need to sell sneakers. We all remember the Esco situation. Or the Peter Victor Rodrigo fiasco...who's name sounds more like an arch-nemesis, more so a fashion designer. I'm not gonna front like I never bought a pair of S.Dots, Jay-z's line, but I will say that Nas had better step up the sneaker game if he's really serious about remaining one of my favorite rappers. I can't be let down
Our Good friend Ted Leo is soon to go on tour, in promotion of his new album Living with the Living. For most of you, this is old news, but for those who aren't hip to the jive, go see him play here:
3/28 Philadelphia, PA (Theatre of Living Arts)
3/29 Washington, DC (9:30 Club)
5/5 New York, NY (Webster Hall)
In other concert related news, Busta Rhymes, who was scheduled to play with Jim Jones at University of Maryland Eastern Shore on February 21st, got his concert canceled due to safety concerns surrounding Busta. He's gotten a little to rowdy for his own good. This was probably a good call, due to the fact that Busta doesn't really put out good albums anymore, and stomps on the faces of any fans he happens to retain. Even though, if you have ever been to UMES, you would agree they probably need a good face stompin...ah memories, but I digress.
For those still outraged by the iphone exorbitant costs, the open source community has come to save the day! FIC has announced an on-sale date for its Neo1973, which is cute, and cuddly, and noticeably 300 dollars cheaper than the iphone! It's user modifiable, and comes chock full o' Linux based operating software.
The Ataris shall be playing a show at the TLA on Tuesday. Luckily, JaLisa came through with tickets, and we shall be off on another one of our famed adventures. She's pretty stoked about it, and I'm always down to ride, so it should be a good time. Sadly, this could be one of the Ataris' last studio albums, and perhaps last tour in promotion of such.
Now I must proceed to clean up the lasagna/ sesame chicken crater formally known as my kitchen. I love birthdays! Happy Sunday.
