Fuck that chef (sorry TJ). Party gorilla is gonna be in Portland for approximately 42 hours starting in about one hour. I can’t fucking wait.
YOU NEED TO TELL ME WHERE YOU’LL BE! (Also note that TJ’s costume is actually a costume of me…)
I know. That was an awesome costume.

A Christmas Story.
One of my fondest Christmas memories took place just a couple of years ago. This is how it goes:
It was Christmas eve and I was working at Everyday Music. My co-worker Jared and I were both working the 12-8 shift. His roommate was picking him up and offered me a ride home. We all lived in the same neighborhood and they were headed to a bar nearby so I went with them. I barely knew either of...

I don't know what's happening here,
but i’m pretty sure this is how i feel right now.
Most days the work is good.
And some days it is like this:
OH GOD. NOOOOOO. WHU-HU-HU-HU-Hu-hu…why?
IMAGINE THE WORST WAILING SOBBING NOISE YOU’VE EVER HEARD.
I’M MAKING THAT NOISE.
Panda Bear - Boneless (Notwist Remix)
I know this...
HOLY. SHIT.
I first heard about this from a friend who is, to put it mildly, interested in the Star Wars movies. He thought it was reasonable to watch a 70-minute critique of The Phantom Menace. I blew it off because, to put it mildly, I thought he was crazy.
And then someone else recommended it and I wound up here.
And then I thought I’d try a couple of minutes.
And then I wound up cackling like a...

Thanks, Beatrice, for the excellent picture.

So, maybe a couple of them aren’t really that sad. Those ones are personal.

I’m in a good mood. But sometimes I’m not. And that is when I listen to the saddest songs I can find. Feel like shit? Feel worse with my new playlist.
Oh, just cry already:

These are the songs that I consider absolutely essential Christmas listening. And yes, there are three different versions of White Christmas. It’s an excellent song. Let’s get this straight. I don’t even really like Christmas. In recent years I’ve spent it working at Everyday Music or alone or in various airports. It’s miserable regardless of whether my family is present or not. I don’t...

It’s another version of staples style, meaning it’s a bunch of songs that I’ve been listening to over and over again for the past few weeks. Enjoy. Or don’t. See if I care.

Both the longest and shortest playlist yet. Two hours of ten of my favorite long songs. I would have done more, but two hours already seemed extreme.

I hate karaoke.
But goddamn will I sing loud provided I’m a little drunk and also alone in my apartment. Some nights I’ll make a night of it. Like two nights ago. Anyway… Here are some of my greatest drunken hits. And by some, I mean that this list is really long and that if it were an accurate picture of what would actually happen in the privacy of my own home, it would be at least...

In celebration of my birthday I made a mix for the 12 crew. Each song either reminds me of each person or I just think the would totally dig the song. I had to pick a song for myself so the order would match our numbers.

I don’t dance.
But, then again, sometimes I do. This week’s playlist is a compilation of my ultimate dance jams. Don’t think you can just play them and I’ll dance. Remember: I have to be drunk, too. Really drunk.

Another chronological playlist that only really means anything to me. You can read about it in the notes. All of these songs remind me of very specific moments in my life. I can’t listen to any of these songs without thinking of the moments that go along with them.
I remember this: http://www.mediafire.com/file/unwikn2nwjx/i remember this .zip

Kind of a bummer, at least for me anyway. It’s a bunch of songs that were with me through some rougher moments in my life. The order is chronological in terms of when they were my soundtrack. Totally awesome songs. Totally depressing for me. But totally awesome. Totally. So get depressed. Which is also awesome. Totally. Dude.

Mr. Joe Staples likes to listen to the same song or songs on repeat while he’s working. During the first month of 12 I’ve tried the same approach. These songs are the ones that have seemed to work

(I’m too lazy to type the track list. Just go for it.)
A brief rant follows:
I can deal with tumblr’s one audio post per day. I’d do more if I could, but I won’t complain about not being able to do more. I’d prefer if it didn’t have to be an mp3, but can work around that one, too. I understand the reasoning behind limiting the size as well because that could easily be abused, but 10MB is just not cutting it for a person who prefers songs that...
There are plenty of good things
to say about the way 12 has changed me or what it has provided me, but there’s one thing that has happened that I hadn’t planned for. This is the first time in several years that I haven’t been working in a record store or concert venue. It’s the first time in a long while that I haven’t had any close co-workers or peers that I talk music with on an almost daily basis. I’m not getting...
This is how I spend ALL of my time. →

This always cheers me up.
Screenshots are fun.
Right?
It was $2. Okay?
Yes. It was barely 30 fucking degrees outside today. But did that stop me from going to the damned zoo? Very nearly. But did it? No.
See this guy? I can’t be absolutely sure, but it’s quite possible that this is David. David, the beaver that I befriended last year when I went to the zoo. We’re buddies.

Wanted Dead or Dead.
My dear baby was taken from my desk this evening. A note with the following message was left behind: your baby is 6ick.
Rachel Mays is the leading suspect, however, Michelle Evers is highly suspect, too.
Any information leading to the safe return of my baby is much appreciated. Especially because we had plans this weekend. And now we don’t.
UPDATE: Zech Bard is on my list, too.

Only you can prevent forest fires.
Today my Italian co-worker did not know who Smokey the Bear was. And what do you do in a situation like this? Look it up on YouTube, of course. Thank you, Manu, for not growing up in America.
The voice over at the end of this is amazing.
My life is better now.
Spaceshjips.
I just saw today that Spacemen 3 and Wooden Shjips did a 7” split together. As expected, it is rad. There’s a link to a download here.
Contranyms!
Oh, boy. I love contranyms. Basically, they’re words that are both spelled the same way and sound the same AND they have opposite meanings. For example: dust. You can dust something to remove dirt or you can dust something with chocolate and you have added something.
12 just went on a journey to find a Christmas tree, which led to the finding of another example: trim. You can trim your hair...
Yes.
No.
Here’s an example of something that I referenced once before:
