HEY THERE!
Down in miami, doing miami stuff!
beach, pool, massage, repeat.
in between i work out and walk and eat stuff with quinoa in it.
i have to tell you about the melvins new record, tarantula heart.
if you hate metal, then stop reading this.
but you'd think after 40 years in the business Buzzo et al would not be inventing new stuff.
but the first song on this record ("pain equals funny" ) might be the greatest metal medley ever. i know i'm using the term "medley" incorrectly - but what to do you call a 20 minutes song with separate parts, each one classic?
you can get the album on iTunes. but i include the youtube link below.
again, if you're not into metal, you will find this abrasive and perhaps insane. so don't listen to it just to complain about how noisy and irritating it is. if you love metal and hard rock, this will be hit you in the face.
but for me its equal parts Stooges, Kiss and Hendrix, with Buzzo in front.

He's been using a walker for a year or so now (he's only in his mid 50s) and probably consumes anywhere from 3 - 6 double shots of vodka a day.
So I left him Wednesday afternoon after I sold some of his silver coins and brought him the cash for a deposit we were going to make on Friday.
He took a fall, probably Wed. night, and another friend of his called the police to do a wellness check on him Thursday morning, when D hadn't gotten back to him. The police found him barely conscious and took him to the ER at St Jospeh's Hospital in Burbank, a top-notch facility. When D didn't return my calls on ...
