dig it

Tom Petty's first big band was called MUDCRUTCH.
SO weird that name didn't stick, such a nice RING to it...

Summer Friday jamtimes, guys.

some bands I like to name check

DID YOU KNOW:
When I was in the single digits, MTV used to play music videos almost exclusively? True story!
This song was HUGE.



Did you also know that Michael Stipe used to have hair? A LOT of hair?
Well, now you do.
SIDENOTE: I am wondering how many of you had to Google "Michael Stipe" (Don't tell me).

I used to really dig REM! Is that TMI? Who knows anymore.
You know who else likes REM?

PAVEMENT!
This song says so.



Time to dust off NO ALTERNATIVE (Why am I lying, I never stopped listening to this.)

I was so into this record!!! Iris by The Breeders, Glynis by The Smashing Pumpkins. Such key songs to my teenage angst.

Steve brought up doing a deejay night where we only play this &DGC Rarities Vol 1 (I say WE because I invited myself to be co-DJ). You guys would come, right?!?!?!....right? WHATEVER, we can hang out ALONE and sing along to Jamie:



Aaaaaand that concludes 'Another Trip Down the Rabbithole of Youth Jamz with White Lightning'. Thanks for playing along.

HAPPY FRIDAY.
ALSO!!!!
COME TO THE HESTER STREET FAIR ON SUNDAY!!!! 
Hester & Essex, 10 AM-6 PM.
I'm selling vintage clothes/bags/shoes and some designer stuff (Marni, Chloe, Doc Darcies), copies of First Kiss.
See you there!
EDIT: I canceled due to the fact that it's sposed to rain ALL DAY LONG. Bummertown USA.

kicks

My friend Phil stopped by my office today so we could have lunch n chats. I stopped dead in my trackzzz when I saw his sneakers..um WHAT?!

NIKE SAYS WHAAAAAT

Some kind of super limited edition snakeprint crazy ass hightops with an extra-long tongue..They COME mismatched! They're called Mint Chocolate. Are you kidding me?? I freaked out.

He also brought me these:

Teenytinerson adorable stickers from his recent trip to Japan. Phil is wise, he knows a very important life truth which is: GIRLS LOVE STICKERS (Lesley got some too, we were both squealing).

Brb, currently covering my ipod with puffy donuts and smiling mochi balls (we call this "working").

Happy Friday!

 I've heard Miike Snow every single day this week, all in the strangest places (the HILLS, anyone?)

It feels like me right now.
If I could, I would listen to this on giant headphones and jump on a trampoline in a field under the Big Dipper.
Would if I could...but I can't, so I won't.
