WILD CARD WEEKEND.

Well, I'm half way through my wild card weekend...and so far all of these football games have been super duper exciting. and on top of all of that the bulls beat the celtics last night, i basically feel like marshawn lynch jumping in the end zone backwards, after his 76 yard run, cupping my balls and all. On top of all of that, I'm switching back to days from nights at the hospital. I mean, I feel waaaaaay to good not to be blogging, how could I keep this sense of well being all to myself? You can't contain it...

MUSIC!!!

So I'm gonna upload, or at least post my top ten favorite albums, depending on whether or not I get lazy. So look forward to my number one in 6 years! *SPOILER ALERT* Kanye fucking West is not on my goddamn list! I mean, is there some subliminal messaging on his record that makes music critics automatically nominate him their number one? I don't fucking get it! It does mater what the god damn genre is, it could be indie country gangster or classical avant garde r & b...number one! (deep breaths).

Best Coast - Crazy for You




I'm not really sure what's not to like about Best Coast. 50s surf rock melodies + low fi indie rock musical accompaniment = recipe for success. The record itself is like 30 minute glimpse into the female mind in love. You get the guilty pleasure of reading your crush's diary with out the guilt or the reading. With simple choruses like, "I promise I won't be such a brat, If I promise you anything, I promise you that. I miss you, miss you, miss you..." and verses like "everything I said last night might have been crazy, but i want you to know I meant it, I meant it, oh baby." Plus anyone that names their cat snacks, and features them prominently on their album cover can't be bad, right?

IMAGES!!!

So I stumbled across this rad little series of documentary featurettes on prominent contemporary photographers on one of my Internet escapades. They are done by KQED, San Fransisco's p.b.s and this one is prolly my favorite so far-



It' on Henry Wessel, who's work I have always enjoyed, never having the faintest idea of what a kook he really is. This dude has shoot for the past 50 years with the exact same camera, using the exact same film. He makes proofs and then waits at least a year to examine them to decide if there is anything he wants to print. Anyway, this video is neat because it's show's him actually shooting, and he is fast, proofing, and printing. Also, its packed to the gills with amazing quotes. "I don't go out to photograph, I just photograph". Anyway, check the video, and check out some of his picture on line if you get the chance.
