Destinations http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/archive/61.html Sun, 23 Oct 2005 20:52:27 GMT So yeah, there's a reason I haven't updated this blog in like 8 months. It's because I got a better, privately hosted, one over here at the tribal underground. You can get to it here: 21st Century Soap-Boxing So go now ye intrepid adventurers and catch up on what's new in the life of a lolo since you last heard from him. http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/comments?id=61 http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/archive/60.html Mon, 04 Apr 2005 19:46:52 GMT we were THIS close, i mean THIS close, to hopping on an airplane this weekend and going up to Portland. So close, but so far away. I woke up on Saturday morning to hear a message from the delightful Ms. Stacia saying that a friend of ours from way back was in Portland for the weekend looking for flats to rent and they were participating in much debauchery on account of such a splendid event. THIS close. But work once more got in the way. So now I am desperate to get up to Portland as soon as possible for some much-needed reunions, visitations, pilgrimages to Powell's Books. Still, it...

Curse you laziness!!! you win again!!! http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/comments?id=59 http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/archive/58.html Thu, 10 Mar 2005 19:41:05 GMT It always says something when you begin to go out of your way to look for the most esoteric and off-kilter music you can find. For me, I don't know quite what it says, though for the past couple of days I have been insanely happy with the fact that I've been able to download several albums worth of Balinese Gamelan music- you know the kind, with the sound of a metal xylophone made from pieces of corrugated roofing, quality music if I do say so myself. Not to be outdone, I've just received an album of gong music of vietnam and laos. why? why do I do this? because it sure as hell beats the...

And what grandiose musician could ever possess enough talent and skill to lure me from my cosy den illuminated solely by the kindly glow of my notebook? None other than the immensely-talented, divinely-inspired, mouthpiece-of-the-almighty: Amon Tobin. The man whose aural soundscapes opened up new worlds of possibility for sound and music. The man who has provided the soundtrack for my life since that rainy Eugene afternoon 5 years ago when i...

Truly. It's not over-rated, it just may be the most impactful cd of the milenium, thus far. definitely worth the 30 year wait which the former Beach Boys front-man subjected us to. pick it up at your local record shop, download it from the net, whatever you do listen to this album. http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/comments?id=56 http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/archive/55.html Thu, 24 Feb 2005 05:48:31 GMT A Savage Journey Story by Rob Mitchum from pitchforkmedia.com To my knowledge, Hunter S. Thompson never wrote a record review. His famous involvement with Rolling Stone was incidental to its focus on music, and due merely to Jann Wenner's willingness to publish lengthy screeds and pay both relatively well and on time. But, despite some people's opinion, we at Pitchfork are all writers, and as ones prone to the occasional experimental flight and its frequent partner self-indulgence, we live in the shadow of Hunter just as much as those of Lester or Greil. Predictably, most body-still-warm... (more) http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/comments?id=55 http://lolosrun.blogdrive.com/archive/54.html Tue, 22 Feb 2005 03:53:15 GMT Hunter S. Thompson blasted through the world like a big-finned rocket of defiance and revulsion. He leaves a big burned hole and a safer, duller world. - - - - - - - - - - - - By Cintra Wilson "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Last night, the night that Hunter S. Thompson was apparently shooting himself (an exit somehow befitting the self-styled anarchy and insouciantly godless iconoclasm of the man) my friend "Dirty Bobby," a magazine photographer, and I were in the kitchen of my house discussing a road trip he'd taken on a journalism assignment in Nevada.

Examiner dies of gunshot wound Tanya Schevitz, Chronicle Staff Writer Monday, February 21, 2005 Hunter S. Thompson, the counterculture writer credited with creating a new form of journalism in books like "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," was found dead Sunday from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in his Aspen- area home, authorities said.
