Drunk? Ha, you not betcha. No, I am trying to ease the pain from a night of some sort of food poisoning. I feel ill, and wanted some music to soothe me back to sleep. I found this, and it helped. Good night mogsters.
...my eyeballs popped open an hour before the alarm went off for some reason...and I'm rested...almost TOO rested...sheisse, son...what I'm feeling is akin to what Andrew "Large" Largeman felt like when he was walking through LAX on meds while taking a trip back home to Jersey in the film Garden State...been there before...all of this reminded me of when I covered that flick as a favor for a jo...
So, it being Friday and all, I stopped in Starbucks on the way to work - actually quite a risky move, as it's about 10 minutes out of my way, meaning that I wil barely make it to work on time, and if my boss is in clock-watching mode, then he won't be happy. Anyway. Shock of shocks, they were playing 'New Slang' by The Shins (and indeed, the rest of the 'Garden State' soundtrack), rather than t...
If you have ever got the chance to watch Garden State, you know just how good of a movie it is. Zany actor/director Zach Braff has excellently passed the test at making a very dark comedy that doesn't completely depress you. It seems if you have followed his music choices in the movies he has acted in, you can notice that there is a excess variety of music that can keep you singing hours after ...
Forget New Jersey! I am talking about the movie sillies. 2004, Zach Braff and Natalie Portman showed the world a crazy sort of love, along with an amazing soundtrack. Here's one of my favorite tracks by The Shins, "New Slang."
I am a big fan of The Shins. I will admit it's all Zack Braff's fault (damn him and his Garden State soundtrack) but I can't help myself. As a of mine friend likes to say, I like bands who have "lead singers with funny voices". Hmph, interesting comment to make...
I have been pretty bad about updating, only once. Things have been in off and on rut lately. I have discovered some new music. I was friends with this amazing girl who loved Pavement, and she always told me I should check them out. After thinking about how much I missed her the other day I finally gave in and downloaded Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain. I didn't like them at first but like most ...
...the Garden State Soundtrack? I remember thinking I wanted it, but it just got .. lost in the shuffle somehow. Well, I've finally found it, and fallen in love. Not only are (most) all of the songs excellent, they're by really great bands. "New Slang" was just the jolt I needed to convince me I ought to buy the new Shins album, and I'm developing quite a taste for Colin Hay, not to mention Sim...
