The Official Jesse Garcia Watch 04-25

Argh. The initial purpose of my watch for Mr. Garcia in the Voice was to count the times they use his headshot over and over and over. Dagnabbit if those peeps over there are getting him in by actually using different pics of the guy. A total double-edged sword because I was hoping they would venture away from the same pic but now that they have, could the Official Jesse Garcia Watch be in danger of becoming irrelevant?

Nahhhh.

Getcher Benefit on @ Club Dada tonight

The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is gonna love them some Dada after tonight and probably give some more love to tonight’s UltraViolet Rock Benefit show put on by Lovie and El Gato. With some sweet special guests a la Bridges and Blinking Lights, Wonderfool and more and a kick-a$$ compilation CD, there is no excuse to missing the festivities tonight. Plus, a five buck minimum donation for a cover is enticement enough to see this roster of bands. If you go, I might even buy you a drink. That is, if you can find and give me the password and then use it properly in a sentence.

Happy hunting!

Naughty Naughty

I so have to thank Robert for this posting on Unfair Park but I’m totally stealing the video to put here. This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen and now if only I could see the rest of it. I’m a purveyor of fine bad movies and Naughty Dallas looks almost to be the cream of the Dallas crop. Besides, where is this Strip University? I wouldn’t mind finishing off my schooling there.

Bridge over major troubled water

Thanks to coworker Naomi for pointing me out to this article about a man in Utah pretty much subjected to torture that was analagous to making sales. It’s wrongly hilarious so don’t laugh.

SEKTO watch out

i have such mixed feelings about graffiti. Some of it can be really snazzy and artsy and reflects a slice of the culture. But then taggers get on my nerves. I don’t quite get the compulsion to go spray paint my name everywhere. My initial remedy is to go to the taggers spots and paint “sucks” or “has a small one” under it but that probably perpetuates the matter. I hope we get to keep some of the good stuff up but the rest can go! And City Hall is hoping you’re going to help.

Austin City Limits plans?

That might depend on the bands and if you can figure them out from this mash-up then you can start making your plans. Gorilla v. Bear links us to Car Stereo (Wars) for the tip as well as revealing the potential Lollapalooza Lineup. However, both fests, I could probably care less about. Me outdoors in blazing heat just to listen to music is SO not my idea of fun. I’ll stick with my iTunes. Also, not TOO sure how reliable this is for a definitive hint to the lineup, but at the very least, the mix is SWEEET!

UPDATE:

OK, yeah, it’s legit. Just saw the official mention at ACL’s website.

The Official Jesse Garcia Watch 04-07

Argh. Right when I start my Official Jesse Garcia Watch (OJGW), the Dallas Voice goes for two weeks without him. His mug doesn’t bother me whatsoever but it was a nice reprieve. So I figured I’d just shut my mouth. That was until LAST WEEK’S issue when he made a comeback and in full frontal…oops, I mean full body. Maybe I’m just getting soft in my old age cuz I can’t knock his return too much. It’s actually a different photo of him. NONETHELESS! I stand by my OJGW.

Go to this or die

Clint’s my neighbor and all around awesome artist. I still want Afro Woman…grrr. I hope you check it out tomorrow. He’s a good guy and his wire arts are crazy amazing. Plus, it’s part of the AFI fest so if you’ve missed the films (guilty) then you can get in on some of the other action. And if you don’t, then I’ll have to chop your head off.
