John’s Crawlspace

So after years of searching, you find the perfect girl. She’s all you ever wanted, and what’s more, she’s into you. Down the line you propose to her, and she accepts. Things couldn’t possibly be going any better than they are. So you finally get married, and it’s wonderful. The honeymoon is absolutely amazing. And then… You find out she’s your twin sister? Say it ain’t so! Seriously though, think about that for a minute. That really, really sucks.

Speaking of things that really, really suck… I honestly can’t believe how bad this song is. It’s the new single by “Soulja Boy”. He had that “Crank Dat” song which was annoying, but this new song is just so incredibly bad, it blows my mind. I really don’t even know what else to say about that, but I’m sitting here listening to it and I’m just in disbelief over how mind-numbingly stupid it is. And I’m sure tens of thousands of people already have it as their ringtones… Thank god.

The new Mars Volta CD, “The Bedlam in Goliath”, leaked a day or two ago. Those of you that want it probably already have it, but if you’re looking for it, you can grab it here. Also, my brother’s band, Still Motion, have recorded four new songs, and I think they sound pretty damn good. You can check them out on their myspace, or download higher quality versions of them here.

If you’re in the Philly area, and you’re looking for something to do this Saturday, this might be worth looking into: “Winter Beach Bash” featuring VHS or Beta. It’s free, and they’re a pretty cool band, too. If I remember correctly, they had some songs in Grandma’s Boy, so maybe you’d recognize them from that. Anyway, I’ll probably be there, if you want to come out and meet a blacked out celebrity. What? I am a celebrity, certainly you’re not questioning that.

So I’m pretty sure I’m gonna go to Langerado this year. I have some friends that are interested in going, and the lineup this year is pretty awesome: Beastie Boys, Gov’t Mule, Ben Folds, Built to Spill, Les Claypool, Umphreys McGee, Keller Williams, STS9, of Montreal, !!!, Minus the Bear, Ghostland Observatory, Blind Melon (minus Shannon, of course), Dr. Dog, Vampire Weekend, Pelican, Bassnectar, Busdriver… And a bunch of others, including some bigger bands that I’m not sure I care about, like REM and 311. It’s in the Florida Everglades, so we’re most likely gonna have to fly down. But the climate there in March will most likely be awesome. Bonnaroo is hot and dry (and was very dusty last year), while Langerado will be warm, sunny, and breezy. So yeah, I’m pretty sure I’ll be heading down there on March 9th.

As you can clearly see, I haven’t done much in the way of this site for the past week or so. My dog has been really sick, and we had to take her to be put to sleep on Monday. Not gonna get into the details of that, but I watched it happen, and it definitely sucked. Needless to say, I wasn’t really in the mood to spend much time on the computer (or do much else, for that matter) for the past couple days. Anyway, I’ll get working on the next “installment” of my Ghana thingy soon.
