Last Friday I was out and about and ended up at the Tiger Lounge in Georgetown (South Seattle for those of you thinking I was in DC or some other Georgetown) and I randomly got to hear this band Lights From Space. I really had a good time listening to them and thought you all should know about them. Here’s a videos for you to listen to. I hope DJ Dan likes them.

Longevity
I got my mitts on a copy of Thrasher Magazine‘s 30 year anniversary issue. I remember the first ones on newsprint and how great it was to have information about what was going on in skateboarding after Skateboarder Magazine had gone away. I would have so many old ones if I hadn’t cut out the pages with the best photographs and stuck them on my bedroom wall. I essentially had Thrasher wall paper that grew with every issue.
Subscriptions were fine but I always enjoyed the excuse (any excuse) to go down to Gravity (my local skate shop), get my copy, discuss what was in it and see what new stuff the shop had in. Sometimes it’s hard to believe that 1981 was that long ago and who would have thought that Thrasher and Gravity would be around after all this time.
Songs I Hate
I hate songs. Well, not every song. Just a lot of songs that other people like. I’ve been a DJ for years and along the way, I’ve learned some universal truths:
- A lot people hang out in bars.
- A lot of these people are horrible.
- Horrible people like horrible music.
- A lot of cool people hang out in bars too.
- Inexplicably, some cool people like horrible music too.
- When people tell me they like “all kinds of music,” it usually means that they like horrible music in several different genres, i.e. “I love Creed and John Mayer but I also love Toby Keith and Tone Loc!!”
- Sorority girls are my nemeses.
- Many sorority girls only enjoy songs to which they’ve memorized the words.
- Many sorority girls think you care that it’s their birthday.
- Many sorority girls preface their requests by telling you that you suck.
- Many fraternity boys make requests on behalf of sorority girls.
- Sorority girl requests through a third party still suck.
- People think that “eighties” is a style of music.
- Guys who wear their hats sideways tend not to be articulate.
