Tuesday night… on a Thursday…

How’s it goin’?

Pretty good myself, thank you.

Not much to say, unfortunately.

Except it was my birthday.

So it was the jolly time to turn nice checks into wise CDuniverse and Amazon orders ;)

Got tons of really good shit.

 

Special award to Smile – the DVD with the documentary. It’s everything I was hoping it was going to be and a little more. It has been out for a while but I was scared it’d be boring so I didn’t get it right away. But I watched it two nights ago and it was just perfect. You see all the ambiance around the making of Smile 2004. Just plain perfect.

 

The reissue of Colossal Youth by Young Marble Giants is also really good. Probably a post soon.

 

I finally indulged myself a little “Cake or Death” by Sir Hazlewood. What a brilliant album. I have a feeling Leonard Cohen must have felt a lot of jealousy while listening to this incredibly cool album.

 

And so and so and so.

Everything being good and all, there is a good chance that I’ll post some of them soon.

Especially if I keep this rhythm of a good post every two weeks. Not bad so far, hum?

 

So what’s on the menu tonight?

Compilations.

I had a something I wanted to post and it just made more sense to post a lot of them. Put together, they’d look less weird, here, where it is mostly original albums.

 

And a nice little post around The Gun Club. Specially for my friends Marie-Anne (the bitch), Stephanie (best friend, guitarist of Annaoetc – go check the song Je T’aime if you haven’t yet. I still think it’s going to be a major fuckin’ hit single soon enough) and David (?...), I think of you my buddies and I am sorry I don’t have more time to write e-mails. I have told you about this band quite a few times. So now you can go further in your exploration. So this is a little hi to you all! Hi!

 

Alright, motherfuckers, enjoy it all… while I haven’t been put to jail by the FBI!

(I guess it should be the time to stop smoking weed???)

 

Catch you later,

 

The Mike

 

PS: Did I tell you that the blog “In the Crowd” is active again and just as amazing as it was before. Don’t loose a minute and go check it out. And if you get something, don’t forget to leave a feedback, he seems to be sensible about it.
