Obnoxious is such a great word, and obnoxious is how I feel right now. According to the dictionary, it is an archaic word that means exposed to something unpleasant or harmful, and deserving of censure. Like the good book says, right now I am odiously or disgustingly objectionable and highly offensive. Oh yeah?! Who the fuck cares! Who doesn't like to puff their chest out and be a little obnoxious every once in awhile? If I read my history books right, rock n' roll was invented to piss off the squares, and I'm glad to enter my third decade on the planet carrying a hefty batch of killer records under my arm and shining behind the thick coating of road salt and sludge on my windshield.
A lot of weird, crazy shit happened to me in 2010, but right now I'm just gonna let the sun burn my eyes and let it burn my back. Why not?! I am in a good spot, so why fuck with the formula? Good job, good blog, good life. Hey life?! I've got a supercrush on you. You're never gonna stop that little snot-nosed prick in Wavves, and you're never gonna stop me, either (or "eyether," if you're fancy). People talk all funny, and say a whole lot of funny bullshit, but all I can do is roll around and smile like a moron. So here's a lucky thirteen tracks that sound like lolling around on decks, destroying chocolate milkshakes on Sunday afternoons, powering through heroic hangovers on humid days, getting a little sweaty, and wishing upon stars set in hazy midwestern skies. Like always, there's some outrageous T. Rex rip-offs here, along with lots of syrupy-sweet girl voices, ear-bleeding fuzz, gentle finger-picked guitars, crucial harmonies, and blissful, goofy grins. Why fuck with the formula?! Enjoy this Indian Winter, folks. 2011 is gonna be a good fucking year. Just sit back, smile always, and enjoy the ride.

... branches
Not sure how I got here, but I fucking love it. The Nobunny jam is especially great. Also saw you posted about Bare Wires and Gentleman Jesse—two of my absolute favorites. Will be checking back routinely.
ReplyDeleteYou sir, have good taste. Cheers.
