This was very funny, but i don’t know how i feel reaching him at home. Though, I wonder who that girl was…Does Winstead have a girlfriend? No way! CP should try to get access to her ASAP.

The Brandywine? No Pets!

Hypocrite. It figures. Rules are for OTHER people, not for self-righteous ANC commissioners.

good god this in my wheelhouse right now. i just brought home a turntable tonight.

it’s been a while since i had one in working order.
i’ve been dreaming about the first LP i’m gonna play to get back on the LP wagon.

the winner: Deep Purple, Made in Japan.

geezus chrysler, we’re talkin’ double-live dirtball nirvana. i’m gonna kick things off with Record 1, Side 1:

Highway Star (Osaka 16 Aug 1972)
Child in Time (Osaka 16 Aug 1972)

then i’m gonna dig out Montrose and Humble Pie and Ted Nugent’s Double Live Gonzo.

Reid tell me about it. My turntable barely works and I can’t stop buying LPs. I’m deep into the African stuff.

damn, that track is awesome. Unfortunately if I were to ever get myself a turntable, I’d be opening myself to an addiction I know I have neither the time nor the money to support.

“Sax Jive” is a tite title! South African mbaqanga jazz is fresh and that comp is a nice find; Dusty Groove has it (natch).

You might dig this, too:

The song, yeah, is awesome. It has a lousy name. It’s called “Sax Jive” and it’s by Leribe. It’s from an excellent African comp called Love is Love which was released–and just reissued–on Mississippi Records. It’s LP only, tho. I’m such a nerd!

I’ll be writing more about the comp on our music blog soon.

You know, that bird looked like the Lord God Bird to me. I think his apartment ought to be vacated of humans to allow scientists to study its habitat and determine whether this beautiful possibly extinct bird has somehow managed to survive in the confines of upper Connecticut Ave.

Also, I second CP, what was that awesome song? Must I go to Adtunes for the answer?

Why didn’t you go see him at an ANC meeting? It’s annoying that he won’t respond to reporters, but that doesn’t mean he should be bugged at his house.

If he’d done something serious a home surprise would be different, but it’s a ping pong video!

Hmm…I wonder if his apartment building allows residents to keep birds in their units?

Mike Wallace would be proud.
