GHOST AND PRIEST
"Kiwi" Erin just yelled at me for not putting her craft jewelry gems on my blog...in fact she said, "put me on your blog so Californian hotties can buy my jewelry"Erin might be my daughter, i'm still in love with her mother but she won't speak to me, support family!

PSHARES
Thanks Logan for sending this my way...hilarious.
pshares (by way of HTML) blog meme
i think they've got me figured out..."poetry blog" as euphemism for what?
"John Sakkis: Lives in SF area, blogs mostly about parties, shows, hot chicks. Lots of pictures of hipsters holding plastic cups. I.e., cooler than you. "

Chinese Democracy
(me c. 1987)
i streamed Chinese Democracy this morning on Myspace...
at it's best it sounds like a new Robert Plant album ("If The World")...at it's worst it sounds like Stone Temple Pilots post Purple ("Shackler's Revenge")...
still, there's something undeniably great about hearing new Axl tracks...no matter how bland or over-produced or confusing (MLK samples?)...i'm rooting for the album (even though it's mediocre) and i'm rooting for Axl (even though he looks like Ice-T)...i don't know, maybe i'm the only one...but i get really excited when celebrities from my youth re-emerge older and weather-worn but better for it...like Christian Slater, Scott Baio, Jason Bateman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Axl Rose, Michael Anthony Hall, Jeremy Piven, Flavor Flav, Corey Feldman, Patrick Dempsey, Ione Skye et al....call me an idiot but i'm truly happy when these people are employed...maybe it's because when i think of Corey Feldman i think of Vision Street Wear and skating the Concord canals and craw dad fishing and peanut butter ice cream and horror movies and sleep overs and setting fires...and when i think of Flavor Flav i think of Summer camp and my cousin Manoli and Big John and cassettes and rivers and bb guns and Navaronne Way...and when i think of Christian Slater i think of Gleaming The Cube and Heathers which makes me think of painting rocks and my brother and Thrasher magazine and finding porno in the field at the end of the cul de sac and rubber band guns and building ramps and the Cupertino flea market...and when i think of Michelle Pfeiffer i think of Grease 2 and my sister and my cousin Vicki and birthday cake and Slip n' Slide (into the fence) and climbing trees and Taco Bell and Friday The 13th...and when i think of Axl Rose i think of the Benicia skatepark and wearing shorts and 957 San Simeon and Woodside and Toyota trucks and Nintendo and Tom Cruise in Legend and VHS and The Chronicles of Narnia and Moraga and "dip"...
i don't know, i think i root for 80's celebs because the 80's were magic...pre-internet pop culture ingrained in my little skater brain...so when i see Axl or the others in the news 20 years later i think "magic!!!" "the magic is still alive!!!" "carry on you beautiful creatures..."
i think what "Guns n Roses" needs to do is tour this album for 6 months or something and then get back to the studio and record a new, non-epic record for release in 2010...i want GnR to be sustainable...but Chinese Democracy isn't the album to keep people interested...they're certainly not going bring in any new fans with this release...i think the only reason why i sort of like the album is because i trust Axl's voice...i can "hear" it because i have the context to hear it...if i came of age in the oughts though...i would think "this shit is wack..."...i would think "this reminds me of what We Love The 90's says 1994 sounded like"...

THE STEVE ORTH PHOTO OP
last friday night Steve, me and Logan went to the D-Structure fashion snow, D-Stricts...we missed the cat-walk but found the dance party...Steve dove in...Steve is magic...all the girls (and boys) immediately gravitated toward his gyrating pelvis...the gaggle of barely legal bridge-n-tunnel blonds, the petite brunette psycho i named "ZUL," hip hop/hipster dudes, whoever/whatever...no one could resist the dance floor charms of Mr. ORTH...including apparently the photographers...Steve is in every single shot below...what follows is the Where's Waldo of the Lower Haight...can you spot ORTH in every shot?
