I was at Tokyo Lunchbox.

Oh man, I can honestly say that I miss that place now that I don't work across the street from one. I have found, however, that Annie Chung's instant udon is a fine substitute if I add a little chili-sesame oil to make it SPICY.

I just remembered: I dreamed last night that I was friends with Lindsay Lohan. It was great. We were just beginning to be friends and were excited about laughing together. She seemed a little oblivious of her own fame, though. I forget where we were, but Ed1th F. was across the room, and I kept trying to explain to LiLo that she was infinitely more famous than Ed1th. I was like, "You're sponsored by Blockbuster Video!" She was all fresh-faced, with wet hair.

Then you did mountains of coke.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

No, that was the thing. She was as skinny as she is now, but she wasn't all skank-a-rific or anything.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Ah, fantasy.

My ipod chopped & screwed something last night. I was listening to the N.O.R.E./Neptunes track and it was running out of power, but instead of turning off it seriously started playing the song at half tempo. In time, intelligible, just sloooowww. It was sweet as hell. Has that happened to anyone else?

That's awesome, Jordan.

Btw, I liked the zaftig LiLo, too.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:57 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't experienced that, but I discovered that if you shake my iPod a little you can hear something rolling around inside of it. Still works fine though. 3G WHAT??!

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 20:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, I'm thinking about making you a mix of post-rock stuff I think you'd like.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:03 (seventeen years ago) link

Like what?

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Directions in Music, Papa M, Tristeza, Do Make Say Think, Pullman, Dirty Three, Tortoise, Jim O'Rourke, Kaki King, Gastr Del Sol, Idyll Swords, Tara Jane O'Neil, etc. etc.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Cool. I'd love a copy too.

(Do Make Say Think blows though)

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Boo. "Goodbye Enemy Airship" is my jam.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:10 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm all about it, but just so's you know I already have two Tristeza recordz.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Also did I push the C0ugar record on you already? I really love it. The 0ptimistic is opening for them at the end of January, and I think they're going back to the Bottle too.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

Good to know, Dan. Actually, I have zero -- but it seemed like something you would like! (My brother used to have a copy of Spine and Sensory.)

I still have only heard Cougar on MySpace, but I remember enjoying it.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I've got that one and their next one. I saw them tour for that record and play at MichFest in 1999 or so. A whole day of hardcore bands with them in the middle and the stage all lit up blue. It was great.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:15 (seventeen years ago) link

A coworker lent me a DMST record last year and it was kind of jam-bandy and loose, with two really boring drummers. I don't remember what record it was though.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:16 (seventeen years ago) link

I have two. The one I like best is & Yet & Yet.

JorCoh: Have you heard Mice Parade?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

I haven't heard most of those other bands though, just Tortoise and a couple of tracks from Directions in Music and Durrty Three.

xpost, nope, or them

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Lately I have been big loving Explosions in the Sky, Mercury Program, the new Six Parts Seven record, and the Appleseed Cast double album while at work.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Here's a good article on Mice Parade. I only have Mokoondi, an album that's based around the cheng (Chinese harp).

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:25 (seventeen years ago) link

I would like copies of all mixes, please. But you can save yourself a CD by just YSIing since I'll just rip the tracks and put the CD in a drawer somewhere anyway.

I like & Yet & Yet.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:29 (seventeen years ago) link

A post-rock mix would be super nice because I could listen whilst studying.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:30 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Dan asked me yesterday to recommend him some post-rock so he could listen at work without being too distracted.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

Words are annoying me lately.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:33 (seventeen years ago) link

SACRAMENTO = AROMA SCENT

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Mice Parade sounds like something I might like.

Winter Hymn Country Hymn was the DMST record I heard.

I can't listen to music while working/reading anymore, it's all too distracting.

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh yeah, Winter Hymn is just okay.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:37 (seventeen years ago) link

I have been enjoying some Derek Bailey and Steffan Basho-Jurgen (sp?) for relaxin' times/working/writing. No words, no distracting tempo, just vaguely melodic geetarin'. But not DISTRACTINGLY melodic. I got to the point where I found Discreet Music distractingly melodic. After that it was pure silence for a while.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:40 (seventeen years ago) link

People on ILM always talk about Derek Bailey. I assumed he was free jazz...?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:45 (seventeen years ago) link

free euro-prov

― JordanC (JordanC), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, kinda, but he just plays guitar. The stuff that I have is definitely not squawky -- more noodly.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:47 (seventeen years ago) link

Ew.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:50 (seventeen years ago) link

The Arbiter of Taste has spoken.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

When I'm really really really into the studies I like The Disintegration Loops. Soooooothing.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:52 (seventeen years ago) link

The Arbiter of Taste has spoken.

Notice how I'm keeping it brief today.

― whoop de doodle (kenan), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

xp I'd like to hear that.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:53 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not noodly like STEVE VAI or whatever -- just, well, nevermind. Maybe noodly isn't the right word. May you all be soothed. I'm outta here.

― Armando Grouse (Armando ), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:54 (seventeen years ago) link

I've wanted to hear the Disintegration Loops for a while now, too.

― danno martinez (danno martinez), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:55 (seventeen years ago) link

"Meditative" is probably the word I want.

― Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:02 (seventeen years ago) link

One of my coworkers just asked if I'd be passing by any mailboxes after work to mail her personal bill. I just stared at her. I mean, sure, I'll be riding around in the car to go to the grocery store, but how is it any easier for me to find a mailbox for her mail? Riddle me that, batman.

I'm pumped for grocery shopping. FOOD!

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Btw, if anyone's bored tonight, CANOOOOSTA* is playing The Note at approx. 9:30 PM.

*what we're called by this gentleman: http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:AEIHxTvvogGdaM:http://www.chicagoundergroundcomedy.com/images/comics/rb_md.jpg

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:06 (seventeen years ago) link

I kind of doubt I'll be there, but I'm really curious to hear how it goes. We had a show at the Note fall through (or did we turn it down? hmm... no, the other band cancelled their tour) but I've noticed lots of bigger (hey! 'Nasta!) bands playing there lately.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, Br1an Peters0n started booking there.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Is he mpsh0wz?

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:13 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha. I just got a myspace event for another show at the note this week.

― Calico (calico), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:15 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost Yes.

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 22:17 (seventeen years ago) link
