Grant, on the topic of a photograph of him looking...
Grant Gianneschi: haha pretty good, but you didn't fully capture exactly how powerful I am.
Me: what would be a better representation of your power then, grant?
Grant Gianneschi: Maybe put someone's head on that tooth pick im holding, or place a few dead bodies around me while I'm holding a smoking gun and have a couple cops in the area with an expression on their face that says something like "Well I'm not gonna be the one to cuff him, I've got a family to think about.", or even just have a guy shooting point blank at me and show the bullets bouncing off.

District 9
Just got back from the theater. Unsure, a bit. I am sure, however, that Inglorious Basterds was the best movie I’ve seen in long time.
Pros of seeing D9 - pretty sick - very original - CGI is unbelievable
Cons of seeing D9 - misleading trailers proved to be sort of dissapointing - Peter Jackson

Scrap has his feet up on the desk
-You got big holes in your socks.
-- Oh, they're not that big.
- Didn't I give you money for some new ones?
-- These are my sleeping socks. My feet like a little air at night.
- How come you're wearing them in the daytime, then?
-- 'Cause my daytime socks got too many holes in them.

Another Perfect Tuesday's "Traditional Desires"
Okay, so I was at @keenangaynor’s place a few days ago, and we’re cleaning up his basement to get ready for Mack Flinn practice, because we’re playing in Garwood tomorrow night (08.20.09). Keenan’s rummaging through this old box and finds, to my astonishment, a copy of the CD my first band made back in the early millenium. We were 13 or 14 yrs old, I guess…except for...

THE SKINNY: Trevor Giuliani’s recent record Subcontrario (In Stereo) is an honest and introspective look into Trevor’s values and musical interest, spanning genres like garage & indie…
parallels
It must be a struggle for a band to put out a new record knowing that some of their fans won’t be on the same plane as they are. I addmittedly am often not tottally in sync with a band’s progression even when they’re moving in a good direction. It’s gotta be tough to be inspired.

THE SKINNY: I’m not necessarily big into funk or anything, but I have a soft spot for this tune, and I think PFW’s Andrew will tell you the same. This is Todd Pritchard and his group LP Stiles,…

Reform.
I would like to institute the use of the phrase “your right” as an acceptable form of saying “you’re right.” Your shows possession of whichever word follows it. Think of it in comparison to the slang “my bad” which follows the same logic. I will not accept any further critiscizm on my (former) misuse of the phrase “your right.”
