I'm really leaving. Really. I am going to drop very few post cards cause I hate paper....so please read my blog and comment. I would feel so much more in touch if you did.....Im going to miss everyone horribly, but I know this experience is going to be life changing and a challenge as well. I'm sure I will feel the worst I will have ever felt and best I have ever felt even over the course of one day...at any given time.
It was really great. She played 2 hours!!! Or something. 3 songs into it she said it was weird she was so far away and invited a good half of the audience to sit on stage with her and sing. You bet we did!
it was SO great. One of the best shows Ive ever been to.
"No matter how corrupt, greedy and heartless our government, our corporations, our media, and our religious and charitable institutions may become, the music will still be wonderful. If I should ever die, God forbid, let this be my epitaph:
THE ONLY PROOF HE NEEDED FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD WAS MUSIC."
I am failing rather badly at this whole updating my journal 3 times a week or so resolution. Oh well.

f your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be? So, here's how it works: 1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc). 2. Put it on shuffle. 3. Press Play. 4. For every question, type the song that's playing. 5. When you go to a new question, press the Next button. 6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool. (I know Im not cool.) 7. Don't skip songs.

Indie Band Of Monreal Sells Out to Outback Steak House
I was was watching tv tonight, and I hear a familar voice singing a familar tune, but with different lyrics in an Outback Steakhouse Ad.
With some simple Google-ing I soon found I was right....
Outback Steakhouse Hearts Of Montreal
Normally, when a reader writes in complaining about a commercial featuring music by one of their favorite bands, we don't bat an eyelash. At this point, who hasn't sold their soul to The Man?
But when reader Charles Kaericher wrote in to say that his wife heard an Outback Steakouse ad on the radio featuring Of Montreal's "Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)", "but instead of 'Let's pretend we don't exist / Let's pretend we're in Antartica', it was something like 'Let's pretend we're at Outback Steakhouse'!", we batted several eyelashes.
What kind of marketing company hears buoyant Elephant 6 indie pop and thinks "STEAKS!"?!
Of Montreal's Kevin Barnes confirmed that yes, it is indeed his song. "We were approached by Outback Steakhouse's ad agency asking about making their own cover version of 'Wraith Pinned to the Mist (And Other Games)' for one of their commercials. We thought it would be totally amusing to hear their take on one of our songs as a jingle."
another birtday, another year in life. i made some progess, grew a little, grew alot. made lots of friends. each year tops the next. i promise.
thanks to all my friends who make my life so lovely. i wish you all the best, and thank you for the love you have shown me. thank you thank you thank you,
Random amazing night. Brian comes over and mentions Bob Saget (mentioned in my last entry, as the guy with more money than god), is playing the Laugh Factory. So I decide what the fuck lets go. And we do. And he brings out 'Your Body is a Wonderland' John Fucking Mayer to do STAND UP COMEDY. And thats cool and funny, and then a few comics later.....yeah my GODDDDDDD
DANE COOK....
I cant explain to you how happy I was. SO AMAZING.
So I go to see Bob Saget, John Mayer and DANE COOK on the same stage. It ruled my liiiiife.
Any one who knows me knows i love people who are Batshit crazy. I just cant get enough. Really. At the top of my Batshit crazy list is rocker Pete Doherty. I have also said that fucker is going to die. Very soon. I mean granted I have to like him cause hes a good friend of Adam Green. And I love me some Adam Green. But let me just put it out there that Pete will mostly OD and die by November. I'm just saying. At the rate hes going. Hes fucking Batshit insane.
Here's a video of Pete Doherty squirting a syringe filled with blood during an interview:
Please watch this....it is the single greatest thing ever. It is Stephen talking at the White House in front of the President and AP. The look on GWs face is pretty priceless....
for thoes who read my little drunken myspace update last night youll know i ran into some crazyness. I was partying on DP, and there was a huge power surge, and then a black out. Everyone runs outside, and comes together is a huge mass...I remember walking with Danielle to go and try and find a cigerette for her, and a guy told us to go back to our friends...because we might get hurt because "the guys are going CRAZY". I go back to stand with Jeff, and I hear people start to cheer, and all of a sudden I see a fire 20 feet up in the sky...and then fire works. Everyone starts running towards the fire. I thought for sure Ide see a firetruck seconds later. I get up to the front and realize it was a couch that was on fire. the kids were setting off m80s....and bottle rockets. And then more couches down the street started going up. Everyone had the urge all of a sudden to burn a fucking futon. kids were on top of cars, breaking windows. On a regular night you see cops on the streets just standing there doing checks. I did not see one foot patrol member, one cop car, one fire engine for 20 min. In fact, I saw a pizza car before I saw a cop. It was so Lords of the Flies. In fact I said that in my state of drunkeness when I first saw it. It was pretty intense!
this was a great weekend. JFC played for the last last last last time. and i had an amazing time. the following day, Pascal and i went to go get the last pick up shot for a music video he is editing. and that was an experience. in fact, the whole day was an experience. this afternoon, it is back to isla vista (ew), and then this weekend, im in OC for the Family Pet Expo at the fairgrounds. If you are local and want to come by, please! Its going to be alot of fun.
i cant wait for summer. like REALLY. cant. wait. its going to be epic, im sure.
