Here’s the skinny – no pun intended. There is no order to all of this, but it seems to work for HappyParts.
1.Join Gym and go every day. Be friendly. But don’t be a creep.
2.Do Cardio 45 minutes @ 3.8 mph at 11 point incline.
3.100 crunches afterwards. And if you’re in a zone, lift weights.
4.Wear a purple velour sweat suit to the gym.
5.Daydream about girls you have no chance with.
6.Have something to worry about 24-7.
7.Eat food you like. (Nachos, Thai, Sushi, Indian, whatever.)
8.Don’t eat before Gym (eat after) – tap into stored energy sources first.
9.Learn to say “fuck it,” before you do something stupid.
10.Get dumped by your girlfriend. But make it amicable.
11.Web never closes, so work all the time.
12 Learn Buddy Love’s lines from 1963 original version.
13.Kill the late night eating. Avoid total crap foods.
14.Less talk, more action.
Today was learn about thriving Chinese music scene day. Clicking started on various Beijing culture blogs, I than discovered a US tour in progress back east. Major coverage on mainstream media, ironically, zilch from the hipster set, beyond Brooklyn Vegan. (where I found Mp3’s.) The tour is being presented by one of two, indies from Beijing, Maybe Mars. (What is the other label? ) Maybe Mars also operates a club called D-22. The artists cite influences ranging from Sonic Youth to Woodie Guthrie.
It’s not often that a big time composer provide articulate direction for artists or labels committed to releasing commercial work. His discography commands respect, and his compositions are covered by the greats. Burt spelled it out on NME-The Band’s Blog a few weeks back. His experience will be useful to some, and cause for argument with others. Either way, he is a living legend.
Saw a recent link on Facebook about a Creation Records documentary in the works. You can check out the ‘Upside Down’ trailer here. Indie labels come and go, but rarely do they define a movement, and influence generations of new music makers. Alan McGee is forever connected to the people. Even today, Creation’s revered founder pings the world when he finds something worth sharing. Dig some timeless Creation releases below. True soul.
Gene Clark – Elevator Operator - I was out last night and heard this randy number spun over the P.A. System, and it made the scene. Thank you Pretty Goes Pretty for sorting me out with the Mp3. Tap in.
