Boski's Blogopoluza!

So I am making a liar out of myself and trying this again. So what has been on the ol' I-Pod as of late. So please I just ask you keep your laughing and ridicule to a minimum.


Disconnected - Rollins Band - If you look down a couple post you understand

Us or Them - The Cure - Some angry goth music for you

Longsight M13 - Ian Brown - A little shoe gazing magic from former Stone Roses front man

Inertia Creeps - Massive Attack - Again more music for the brooding Boski

Fully Retractable - Soul Coughing - A very underrated band

Deeper Shade of Soul - Urban Dance Squad - There are a couple songs that I need to here for me to officially declare Summer is here and this is one of them.

AF607105 - Charlotte Gainsbourg - A dreamy tune, which oddly is about a plane crash. I know it is odd, but the song still works.

This little ditty is from Ol' Hank Rollins. Yep it has been that kind of week where my little ADD mind just wants to go walkabout, and since punching myself in my own face is not a workable option. Here you go

Disconnect - Rollins Band

don't like to think too much, it makes me think too much,
it keeps my min on my mind
don't wanna see too much, it makes me see to much
sometimes I'd rather be blind


all the things that they're saying & doing
when they pass me by it just fills me up with noise
it overloads me

I wanna disconnected myself
pull my brains damn out, unplug myself
I want nothing right now, I want to pull it out

yeah,

I want to pull it out, yeah
I wanna break it all down,
hey, I wanna pull it out
yeah, yeah, disconnect myself,
disconnect myself

a thousand miles an hour going nowhere fast
clinging to the details of your past
talking 'bout your damages and wasting my time
wanna be the "King of Pain" stand in line
all the numbers and the colors of the facts
backed by the rumours and the figures of the stats

I think I'm gonna download my mind

I wanna pull it out

too damn bad if at the end of the day the only thoughts
in your brain are all the things that they say,
what a waste
too damn bad if at the end of the line you got no idea of what's on your own mind
you got no one to blame but yourself
too much to know, too much to see
it might mean something to you, but it's nothing to me

I wanna disconnect myself, pull my brains damn out, unplug myself
I want nothing right now, I want to pull it out


I hear you Hank, I hear you.

I realized over the past year or so that I have been giving things up. I still have a long list of other things to give up, most give up kicking my own ass about everything, but that a story for another day. Last night at the concert I made a mental list of things I had given up.




1. Caffeine - thanks to the medication I am on I would be Jumpy McJupperty if I still drank caffeinated beverages. I still take a taste every once in a while so I can get back that feeling of riding the dragon. Even as much as miss being able to drink Coke I will say it has helped in losing weight so I am cool with it.

2. Being cool - I took Devo's advice and I am just through being cool

3. Being 5-10 - And I will never be 5-10. I am 5-9 1/2 and that is the way it is.

4. Playing Madden - Something I though unimaginable since 1993, but I just have not played a game of Ol' Madden since February.

5. Being young - Last night at the Pysch Furs/Yaz concert I noticed that I may have been one of the youngest ones there, at age 36. I should have known the moment I asked the Better Half, "When did our parents start going to our shows?” that my youth had "gone daddy gone". Well I knew this day was coming, now excuse me I have to pull my pants up to my arm pits, chase kids off the lawn and get to the early bird special at Denny’s.


Post script to this post - The concert was good, sure Richard Butler looked like the child of Johnny Rotten and James Spader but sounded great. Yaz surprised me I was entertained.

I am out of here, off to head home so me, the Better Half, one of my sister and a friend I used to work with to go back to the 80's.

Going to wander to the ol' Orange County Fair Grounds to see Yaz & Psychedelic Furs. So excuse me I have a really skinny tie I have to find.

In an effort to fill time and space here is a new feature on the blog that may last about one week, so with no further adieu. Please save your laughing and mocking till this blog has come to a complete stop.

According to my I-Pod here is what is hot on my I-Pod:

List of Demands - Saul Williams (The Nike Sparq campaign sucked, but at least they used this song)

Let's All Go (To the Fire Dances) - Killing Joke

Great DJ - The Ting Tings (One of the best free songs I have ever gotten from I-Tunes)

Mistaken for Strangers - The National

Button - Sia (Look I am sucker for her, ever since I heard her doing tracks for Zero 7)

Everywhere I Go - The Call (There's another 80's flashback for you.)

Midnight In a Perfect World - DJ Shadow

Alright please go back to your scoffing.

I blame my absence on being busy with a lot of things and not a state advised respite. Life complicated as it is has been a wee bit more complicated than it has been before, but I thought I could at least show up and fire off some random nonsense at you my audience. Yes I am talking to all three of you (but if we included the voices in my head we would have a nice crowd)

Campaign 08' - Hi, I am voter and it is great that we are talking about the issues and having the candidate debating, but we are still more than a year away. This coverage is ridiculous, to the point the NHL regular season called and said it was this was a little much.

Karl Rove - Go F yourself fat man. May cinder block fall from the heaven onto your junk. Now shove off to Hell.

Speaking of Hell - Sad to see Hell's Kitchen end and I am so going to miss Aaron cracking up. Glad that Rock won, but I think he may have been a ringer. I am too lazy to look it up, but he was working at a pretty swank establishment.

Gordo Part II - I could watch ol' Gordon all day. No surprise I have told you that before, but now people I am going to tell you this, and please take heed. Watch the U.S version of Kitchen Nightmare's this fall, it will spectacular.

Aaron Eckert - I am going to spare your life. I finally saw Thank You For Smoking and you were great. So was everyone else, well except for Katie Holmes. I am sorry buy rebar is less stiff. So Mr. Eckert this means that crappy movie you and that Octogenarian loving Welsh woman made will be forgiven by me. But I can't assure your safety from Anthony Bourdain (cooking's Lou Reed, but with loads less heroin) who will come down there and extinguish a couple lung darts on your eye lids.

Speaking of Tony - I hope you are all watching his show, I am trying to read his books and from what my life has told me, I will not be disappointed.

Big Love - Chet errrrr Bill, what the hell are you doing? Pride gose before the Fall. When you are picked up by cross dressing loons who make the UEB look sane, then brother you got to let shit slide. Weaver gaming ain't worth it, but I am glad Ellsworth was able to get out. Is it me or did Roman start uttering lines from Repo Man in his delusional state. Also Nicky, drop the dime on Alby and tells everyone that the prophet has another daughter (not that there is anything wrong with that).

Baseball - Well thankfully the White Sox have decided to stop playing with my heart. As they finally seem to understand the concept of winning. Guys would have been nice to see this maybe back in May.

Football - To say I ready for football season would be a gross understatement.

Madden - Yesterday my wife showed why she is the Better Half. Even though it lurks in my mind constantly, it was only yesterday I actually said something about getting the new Madden game when it came out. I usually get it around my birthday or Christmas. Little did I know my wife had been planning to get me the game. So yesterday evening, I was like many other degenerates who were skipping and giggling about like a school girl. All over a video game. Eric bad news, I stomped on your Bills 34 -0. Good news is that mean come September it will be the other way around. Now what was I saying about pride? What has my life become?

Bill Walsh - A football visionary who advanced this game leaps and bounds. Even though I hated the 49er's I could not hate him. The man was a genius. So I would like to say a couple of words,

"Red Right Tight--Sprint Right Option"

I Klondike Bar for any of you who know what that means.

The Simpson's Movie - I must be busy because I have not gone to see it yet. What's wrong with me?

Last week here in L.A. a legend pass. Hal Fishman. A man who was one of the basis' of Springfield's Channel 6 News, Kent Brockman. I will miss you, your crotchety commentaries and your lazy eye. I will pour out some of my 40 for you dog.

Speaking of the Simpsons - I still have not seen the movie yet. What's wrong with me?

Old Yeller - No not Homer, but when is Animal Control going to come in and just put Britney down. I mean this is now just cruel.

Blur vs. Oasis - Look it has been 17 year and I still have not chosen a side.

Merv Griffin - You will be missed by almost everyone, well except Deney Terrio. I will miss you Merv, but I am pissed about one thing. Why did sell the Beverly Hills Hilton and allow the great Trader Vic's to be destroyed. The worst part was before it was taken from us, it was de-Kitsched and moved. You might as well shot Bambi, because that is how it felt to me and the wife. Merv you had some big bread, why did you sell? Ah forget it!

Dog days of summer are barking, but not like Ron Mexico's boys are doing to the Feds. Ron you are done at least for this year. I think you may want to take that plea agreement and spend some time in the hole, because it will get ugly if this goes to trail. Because Mike this could run off the rails like some of your late season performances. And when you go to the big house you will need to tell your future husband that you have herpes. And the Herp Dog is a dog that bites back.

Now if Vick does go to trail and we find out there are other famous names involved, then we will have pandemonium.

R. Kelly - Whacked out R&B alleged pervert or Evil comedic genius? Because there is more Trapped In A Closet coming people. Right now I may be leaning toward genius.

Okay, that was fun. Well kids I am off and I will be back Friday, I have some business I need to attend to tomorrow.
