Nice.

Thanks, I needed that. Even though I'm unemployed now, my body still thinks it has to go to work and my eyes snap open at 7AM. Well, I have energy to wash dishes and make brownies later.

That's a killer clip, dude. Very few whiteboys can rock an afro with as much aplomb as Handsome Dick and Mark "The Animal" Mendoza do there.

(also there's a video suprise you might dig over at the Absurdist, Eide)

Everything about that video is perfect, the afros, the gauntlets, everything. I think all guitarists should wear those tiny Chrissy Snow jogging shorts so it looks they're naked behind the guitar. Too fucking awesome.


Jon, you're living the life of Reilly and Reilly wants it back.

(also, thirty years later, the same guys in the same location doing their own "New York, New York". I was at that show, maybe you can see my fist in the air, buddy)

on preview: Wino I did have to spend wome time on the phone with Dept. Of Labor, sweating through youghly a half-our of voicemail menus just to get a simple question answered, but aside from that things are tres bueno, my man. Wish you were here, my friend.)

Top Ten Kempner has ditched the roller disco look thankfully and now rocks this neo-Elvis thing. But their whole willingness to say the-hell-with-everything and just look as ridiculous as they wanted was part of what was so cool about them.

Do tell, jon. Linky, please? (google links me to at least three sites that consider themselves THE Absurdist. Definite articles? Absurd!)

my blog, eideteker. you're already in my vox 'hood, dawg. (It's in the first entry, near the end)

and a much higher quality clip from the same show.

Oh, YOUR absurdist. Yeah, dude, I'm on the motherfucker. I just figured out how to get my vox friends on my livejournal page so I don't have to remember to log in to Vox. I've certainly seen the clip, and I've even got the mp3 (probably from you)!

I'm still catching up on your stuff, but I can't wait to get to the Mountain track. My copy(copies?) of that LP are in storage right now, and I'm jonesin'.

I can just all the jon-lovers sitting around a big self-help circle trying to get over their jonmc fixations... I say this as the self-appointed President of the McPips fan club.
