I'm a-goin to New Jersey. . .

. . . by bus to check out where my roommate lives. . . and go to the mall. And the beach. And relax. Did you know New Jersey doesn't have a clothes tax?

Blog News
So, this is sad. Not only that it's shutting down but some of the politics and the mean-spiritedness going on all over the place, and I feel that this sort of thing is very regrettable. I missed what was going on, but I hope nobody got hurt, as it were. We'll see what happens.

In good news, Hanszunshine seems to be back up.

and here's why you came. . . the Music.

So, for the weekend, two (2) things.

First, Billy Idol - Billy Idol & Second, G.Love - The Hustle

Says Amazon:

Along with spiritual brother and surf buddy Jack Johnson, Garret "G. Love" Dutton has quietly but reliably lead a campaign for laidback but funky blues and R&B- inspired folk music. Now recording for Johnson's Brushfire label, the Philadelphia native stays tactfully on course for The Hustle, moving through the expected ballads ("Loving Me"), reggae-lite jams ("Give It to You"), and saucy BBQ anthems ("Booty Call"). It may prove disappointing to some fans that have been waiting for Love to truly stretch out the sound he debuted over 10 years ago, but it's a minor gripe. There's no faulting consistency.

If you want some Jack Johnson, check out A Clipper Ship Captain Out to Sea. And browse around there- great music to be found. The fabulous individual over there requested the G Love after I mentioned him in conversation. . . I hope he holds up to her expectations. . . I can say I like some songs better than others. My favorite is probably Astronaut, which was played on the radio. It's excellent sunny day music, though today is a little grey. Yesterday, though, was the warmest it has been since fucking October. Spring :) and allergies. . . it's worth it. In CA, it never felt like this; here in NY, it makes you never want to go back to winter again. Never ever.
