Beck does a so-so Nick...

If you go to www.beck.com, and just wait 15 seconds or so, music will emerge automatically from your computer. It's so-so covers of Nick Drake songs by Beck. Anyway, if you move your cursor to the upper-right of the beck.com mainpage, a jukebox of sorts will drop down and you can choose which to listen to. There are also some of the Guero remixes from Guerolito, a recent Beck release I haven't picked up... A beck release has been out for over 2 weeks and Eric hasn't bought it? Yep. Mind you, if there was a Midnite Vultures remix album, I'd be all about it...

The last few days, I have embarked on legendary adventures which will be passed down as great stories through the generations. Details to follow. Of the Saturday-Tuesday adventures:
I ran a stop sign.
Las Vegas Airport is not the happiest place on earth on Christmas Eve.
Chateau Marmont is a great place to party.
Solvang, CA is like a Danish theme park with zero rides, but plenty of tasty pancakes.
Santa Barbara is as beautiful as people describe it.
Wine can & will turn your teeth and lips purple.
Little dogs (the ones that go in purses),despite being smaller than most cats, still have an instinct to attack.
If you ever drive fake-boobed girls in their mid-30's home from Chateau Marmont back to their Brentwood digs, don't let them touch your stereo.
Chosun Galbee is so spicy, you just might blow your ass out.
Steve McQueen Exhibit at Petersen Car Museum can make grown men cry.
D-Frank & A-Rose are awesome wonderful people who live life as it's meant to be lived.
Dudes can drink champagne.
Nick Cave look-alikes aren't always as cool as Nick Cave.
Rod Stewart impersonators look just like Rod Stewart.
Canter's Deli is fun for a Chanukah meal... but Gefilte Fish should remain a Pesach only dish.
If you get home at 3am, the 5am drive to the airport comes so quickly, you feel stupid for that hour and a half of shut-eye.
"No thanks, I think I'll just have another glass of water" is a perfect way to respond to the most vulgar thing anyone has ever said to/offered you.
Grilled pregnant sardines don't delight all palates (namely mine).
When in the Las Vegas airport and you put 20 dollars in a slot machine and hit a 200 dollar jackpot on Christmas Eve (thus covering the cost of plane ticket and everything else), it doesn't mean that putting 20 dollars in a slot machine is ever a wise decision. Nontheless, twas awesome!

Anyway, Schlebs and I are heading out for dinner. Happy Chanukah!!! - Eric
