Plugged In
During our snow-mageden, I put new strings on my Epiphone ES-335 and started playing some songs. Most likely it was the boredom, but it was also because of the Blue Hearts that I restrung her. I most definitely wanted to play “Owaranai Utai” and “Linda! Linda!” yet I really want to play the sweet, trembling tones of surf music again.
Now I’m looking at getting a new guitar. Pure Fender. A Jaguar. Crap. I’ll have to wait for the tax refund.
Anyway, I’ve spent part of the day researching the Jaguar. Yes. I want one. But don’t those G&L look great? My favorite guitarist, Jerry Cantrell, is a devotee. Plus, you can’t go wrong with a Leo Fender guitar telecaster. Mmm. My favorite style. I should string her up — the candy red Tele. She was my original surf guitar not really suited for it but still shimmery tone and all.
But to the point of this post. I went into a music shop. You’ve got to be an eddie van halen to go into one. There’s the music staff. They look at you and wonder if you’ve got the tone. Do you have what it takes to use the axe your about to buy? I sure don’t. I played the jaguar for a bit in the back behind the amps unplugged. I like the feel. The music shop vibe I don’t like so much. Too much pressure. Thank kami-sama for the internet.

“Are you the creator of ‘Hi and Lois?’ Because you are making me laugh.”

The Wolfman
Following the myth of The Wolfman, I should wait until the next full moon to write up my review. Except that if I did, I would wake up and find that I don’t remember anything about it. A week later and the story is the same. I don’t remember anything about The Wolfman.
Of course, if you had seen it, you’ll think that the curse would be infinitely terrible. That the fiancée of your dead brother mauled by a supernatural creature would fall for you. That your issues with your dad would turn out to be really big issues.

The Blue Hearts “Owaranai Uta”
1st verse:
owaranai uta wo utao
kuso dare no sekai no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
subete no kuso tomo no tameni
owaranai uta wo utao
boku ya kimi ya karera no tame
owaranai uta wo utao
ashita ni wa waraeru you ni
tranlation:
lets sing an endless song
for all the shit in the world
lets sing an endless song
everything is for the shit and all the followers
lets sing an endless song
for me,you and them
lets sing an endless song
as if we “make fun” about tommorow “laughing”
Link of the Day [2.18.10]
I wish more people would read Mitusru Adachi. He’s one of my favorites.
And I wish that they would bring his major works to America, Touch, H2, Cross Game, etc. He’s one of the biggest mangaka in Japan and we don’t even have any of his manga here.

Owaranai Uta
The ending credits to “Linda! Linda! Linda!” had this run immediately after the end of the movie, but not before the crawl.
This song rocks. You’ll hear this all week….
