Fried-day

I am so clever. I also had a ROUGH week. Like, work-wise. But everything's okay now! Sort of! Whatever, it's Friday, and although I am monumentally sleepy/mildly hungover from eating sausage (get your minds out of the gutter) at my magical and Italian friend Antonio's birthday into dancing to Soft Pipes' Anthony and my friend Christopher (his musical name is Miracle Parade and his tunes are a DELIGHT...check it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdqgE_5CEUw) DJ at R Bar (cool place in Koreatown that you weirdly need a password to get into: http://www.yelp.com/biz/r-bar-los-angeles), I still need to share some jams with all 19 of you:

1) "I'm Going Down," by Bruce Springsteen (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZarmRLa2p9Q) So in college, the hockey house had some really good slash chauvinistic parties (um, CEOs and secretary hos?), but they would always play the same three songs: "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" by The Darkness (what happened to them?), "We Built This City" by Starship (fucking stupid lyrics), and this song. I don't know why I am giving you this useless information but this song reminds me of college and the good times I had there and now I am old and SIGH.

2) "California Soul" by Marlena Shaw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MMflNf-ocg) Anthony LOVES to play this song when he DJs. Because it's awesome and you can't help but dance to it. Also like, it's appropriate for where I live. Anyway, the boys played it last night and now it's in my head in a good way.

3) "Realist Alive" by Clams Casino (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYMH8NagwKU&feature=related) I hate the name of this music project. It totally grosses me out even though I don't even know what the dish of food Clams Casino entails...I mean, it's obviously something involving clams. Anyway, I love "I'm God" by Clams, but this song is equally dreamy in its hypnotic chill-wave repetitiveness.

PS Guys, did you know what a Pickleback was? I didn't until Emily told me. It's when you chase a shot of whiskey with a shot of pickle juice. Don't knock it 'til you try it...
