h. MY FRIEND ANDY is doing a fundraiser. I am planning on donating soon but I can’t RIGHT NOW, however feel free to donate just a bit of money to a really good cause;

“I’m not sure if you know, but I’m doing a pretty big fundraiser in July. I’m raising money for Bay Area Wilderness Training to help underprivileged and at-risk kids experience the wilderness for the first time. I’m also climbing a pretty big mountain to raise the money.

We’re off to a great start, but I’m asking you for a little help. I’ve already raised $890 in the last week, and I committed to raise $2310 more. I am asking my friends and family to donate just a little, $25, $50 or whatever they’re comfortable with to help me reach this goal.

It only takes 1 minute to donate online, and it feels so good! There is no better time than the present.

I have more info at HERE. You can click on the “donate” button there, or just go to HERE to help out. Also, feel free to pass this on to your own family and friends.

Thanks! “

SO a few weeks ago, I put up a song by what I thought was Social Distortion covering the Psychedelic Furs … Not only was the song cut off but it wasn’t even Social Distortion..

Let me quickly explain the breakdown of how that got posted..

My bartender and trusted friend Jesse J, made me a disc with a ton of shit on it, including that awful “Real Genius” soundtrack song, AND what appeared to be a cover of the P.Furs by Social Distortion..

One Tuesday, before running out I wanted to post a song, I quickly looked through my ITUNES ™ and saw this cover, listened to the first minute or so, thought to myself, wow, that SOUNDS like Social D and then haphazardly posted it.

So I blame this whole thing on Jesse J. Please present your complaints to him,.

Below is a song I am 99% sure is Social Distortion covering the Clash’s Death or Glory. Hopefully..

Social Distortion - Death or Glory (Clash Cover)

If you ask anyone who has spent anytime near me in the last three months, they will tell you that I sort of obsess over and over with the same music, particularly the single All My friends by LCD Soundsystem. I mean I can’t just listen to it once. Ill play it three or four times over and over. Anyway, there are a few different versions of it floating around and I figured I’d post some.

All My Friends - LCD Soundsystem

All My Friends - Franz Ferdinand

All My Friends - Main Drag

All My Friends -LCD Soundsystem (Live on WXPN)
